"W"

Tonight I did a lot of driving. Between all the driving I saw one of my all time favorite bands: Weezer!

They were fabulous, which was to be expected. One of my favorite parts from the show was when Rivers performed Island in the Sun on his own. The rest of the band exited the stage and Rivers started by playing some drums. He had the beat recorded and then looped. Rivers then added in the tambourine, recorded and looped as well. Then the bass, then the rhythm guitar. Then with a little help from the audience on the 'hip hip' parts he got the song going. The rest of the band did re-join half way through for the bang up finish.

I also loved that they ended their set with a cover of The Clash's song Should I Stay Or Should I Go. Perfect ending to a great show!



As a fun side note, I had a chance to meet up with a friend I'd not seen in years at the Weezer show. This is me with Lee and his new wife Carla. Lee and I served as missionaries together in California, he was one of my District Leaders and an awesome guy.
