Paintin' the Town Brown: Ween Live 1990–1998

Paintin' the Town Brown is a live compilation by American rock band Ween, 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 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).

This album was initially meant to be the first release on Ween's own record label Chocodog, but Elektra took the project away from the group and released it themselves. This would serve as part of the basis for Ween's departure from Elektra.
