Then it was back to the debut again for “Undone” and the rather surprising “Surf Wax America” (of all the debut album songs, I wouldn’t have expected this one). I wondered if the band felt weird about playing the song that was essentially a Rivers solo song. The noisy “Feels Like Summer” from Pacific Daydream was followed by the new hit single “All My Favorite Songs” (off of OK Human). It was followed by a rocking “Pork and Beans” with a nice promo for Weezer’s own brand of pork and beans on the video screen.įor a set that was heavy on the first and last albums, they did manage to throw in one song from a bunch of other ones too. “My Name is Jonas” was one of five songs from their debut. The jacket came off around here and he was wearing a white ringer T (the video screens showed off his painted nails). From there, the band dove deep and the fans went crazy. Then Rivers introduced “The End of the Game” by talking about the wicked riff that starts it (classic heavy metal hammering riff). “Hero” and “All the Good Ones” sandwiched one of my favorite songs from the early 2000s, “Hash Pipe.” “Beverly Hills” also rocks and Brian Bell plays a fun talkbox solo, which everyone likes. He was also wearing a big black leather jacket and playing a flying V guitar.Īnd so the early part of the show was pretty heavy with the new. The band released Van Weezer a few months before the show and it was clearly designed to let Weezer Rock out a bit more–or at least to give Rivers Cuomo an opportunity to sport a mullet and mustache. When I saw Weezer headline two years ago, the set was amazing–set changes, fire, lasers! This one was a little less amazing, but, heck if you’re the first of three bands and you only have an hour, you don’t have time for fooling around. This was the key for the Weezer to come out on stage with six bass drums (spelling out Weezer), giant teal lightning bolts, a light up W logo and a video screen. We gave up when it was a few minutes before Weezer was supposed to go on and then, as we were heading down the stairs, the unmistakable sound of Van Halen’s “Jump” playing over the speakers. But we waited for French fries (not realizing that Chickie and Pete’s was just down the way with tons of fries for the taking).
Who would have guessed that snacks could take so long? Well, any reasonable person could have. Weezer: Hella Mega Tour: Green Day / Fall Out Boy / Weezer / The Interrupter s Īfter The Interrupters, we decided to get some snacks.
