What a combo!! Everyone I knew going to the show was divided on who they were really there to see. I personally was pumped to see Foo Fighters after hearing about their last show in Texas. Weezer I figured would sound pretty much like their album -- I wasnt too far off.
But still, Weezer was great. I love the new album ("Perfect Situation" is the best) and the set list was a lot of my favorite songs from the past ten years. Deeper into the set Rivers seemed to really get into it. And their set design was crazy -- a mock up of their album cover. Very eye catching. The greatest aspect of their show was the sing along. Everyone around us knew every word to every song. Super cool.Dave Grohl -- what a crazy bastard he is. I hope
his stage persona is different from how he is at home, otherwise I am going to worry about his unborn child. But I am still glad I had a seat for the show instead of the floor -- I'm tiny and might have gotten killed down there. The Foos really know how to entertain. I honestly don't know how Dave maintains his voice. He must smoke a lot to keep up that scream. And he was hilarious talking about the "blond slut from Real World" aka Melinda. He is like a frat boy that never grew up. I love it. Taylor Hawkins, although a badass drummer for their band, is still no Dave Grohl from Nirvana. That was neat to see them switch places.My favorite songs were the extended kick ass version of "Stacked Actors" (one of my all time favorites) and then the one-man version of "Everlong" from the back of the Erwin Center. Awesome!!
Another great concert under my belt this year!!
