Paintin' the Town Brown was the first Ween live album, released by Elektra Records on June 22, 1999.

Paintin' the Town Brown serves as a live retrospective for the group, a 2 CD set containing songs from Ween's very first live shows (which were simply Dean, Gene, and a DAT deck) to Ween's tour in support of The Mollusk (though no songs from that particular album are featured). Among the notable songs on the album include the songs from the 12 Golden Country Greats tour (featuring a band of Nashville session musicians simply named The Shit Creek Boys), a nearly half-hour long take on the song "Poop Ship Destroyer," an in-bookstore acoustic rendition of "Puffy Cloud" (proving that the song's essentially a campfire singalong for burned-out college kids), and a few live-only gems such as "Mountain Dew" and "Cover It with Gas and Set It on Fire."
