Undid revision [[Special:Diff/1346815845|1346815845]] by [[Special:Contributions/Livinglifebreathingair|Livinglifebreathingair]] ([[User talk:Livinglifebreathingair|talk]]) seeing setlist erroneously used as a source doesn’t make it useable here. Sites that allow editors to edit and make changes to the material presented are not accepted as reliable sources.
Added a more concrete source to back up the claim that Ween only played 3 more international shows beyond May 2008. Setlist FM is cited as a source on other wikipedia pages (including some Ween album wiki pages) so it should be acceptable as a source.

Mentioning a website isn’t providing a source and fan sites are not reliable sources to begin with.
