The hit single that was 100% ironic and is now 100% unironic as everyone sang along full bore to TotoвЂ™s вЂњAfrica.вЂќ Rivers even got to hit the giant floor tom (which I thought was decorative) for a mini drum solo with Patrick Wilson (whose drumming skills are really top notch). Then came the moment everyone was waiting for. The Green album seems to be quite a popular release too, so вЂњIsland in the SunвЂќ went over like gangbusters. I was pretty delighted when they started вЂњEl ScorchoвЂќ (because IвЂ™m a Pinkerton junkie) but had totally forgotten about the line вЂњI asked her to go to the Green Day concert.вЂќ How cool is that? Obviously the crowd went nuts for that. And, this is the first time IвЂ™ve seen them play it in three shows. Then it was back to the debut again for вЂњUndoneвЂќ and the rather surprising вЂњSurf Wax AmericaвЂќ (of all the debut album songs, I wouldnвЂ™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 вЂњFeels Like SummerвЂќ from Pacific Daydream was followed by the new hit single вЂњAll My Favorite SongsвЂќ (off of OK Human). It was followed by a rocking вЂњPork and BeansвЂќ with a nice promo for WeezerвЂ™s own brand of pork and beans on the video screen.ДЇor 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. вЂњMy Name is JonasвЂќ 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 вЂњThe End of the GameвЂќ by talking about the wicked riff that starts it (classic heavy metal hammering riff).

вЂњHeroвЂќ and вЂњAll the Good OnesвЂќ sandwiched one of my favorite songs from the early 2000s, вЂњHash Pipe.вЂќ вЂњBeverly HillsвЂќ 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.ДЄnd 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 moreвЂ“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 amazingвЂ“set changes, fire, lasers! This one was a little less amazing, but, heck if youвЂ™re the first of three bands and you only have an hour, you donвЂ™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 HalenвЂ™s вЂњJumpвЂќ playing over the speakers. But we waited for French fries (not realizing that Chickie and PeteвЂ™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 ДЄfter The Interrupters, we decided to get some snacks.
