[ATTENDED: July 20, 2018] Weezer
I saw Weezer a couple of years ago in Bethlehem. It was my first time seeing them, but I left feeling somewhat underwhelmed. They debuted 2 new songs, which was cool, but the show felt pretty short and I was really irritated by the crowd.
Tall, drunk college kids. A lot of pushing and shoving (but not dancing) and I could not get close enough to the action.
I enjoyed the set designs and Rivers’ get ups. But they finished in less than 90 minutes.
True they sounded great, but overall I was just a little blah.
I felt for sure if I could see better I would enjoy them a lot more. And this proved to be true.
This show was not in support of a new album (I didn’t realize that), it was more of a career retrospective (sort of). And what this meant was that they played a lot of songs I really like and, amazingly, they played not only more songs than the last time (very odd for a co-headlining show), they wound up playing nine songs that they hadn’t last time. (more…)
