{{Quote| OK, here's the situation: I just saw Weezer at the Hellenic centre in Vancouver. Before the show I saw Carli and I introduced myself [she came up with her roommate, Mike (not Mykel)] and she's the nicest person I've ever met. Well, she didn't care for my bones or feed me ice cream cones. I also met some guys from Limblifter, they're nice. Last night, I couldn't wait for the concert. It was like Christmas Eve for me. I couldn't get to sleep until 2 AM (and I had to be up by 6). | |||
Anyway, Superdrag opened and I forced my way to the front. They had messy hair. | |||
Rivers wore a cardigan and his hair was messy, Matt wore his Nabisco Research shirt, 3 days unshaven face and messy hair. Brian looked cool, he looked Japanimated and he had messy hair. I didn't really see Pat, but he had great hair. He looked directly at me a couple of times (but maybe it just looked that way through his glasses. | |||
The concert was just an excuse for me to rock out and goof off. Everyone was yelling "Weezer, Weezer, Weezer!" I was yelling "Hammer, Hammer, Hammer!" They opened with Tired of Sex and Rivers played the Moog part on his taped up guitar. I did little actions for specific lyrics. Why Bother Macarena? I did similar actions for these lyrics: "I'd rather keep wackin" "Wrestle with Jimmy" "Turns out I just pulled myself" | |||
In Undone they did a cool talking part. It's familiar but I just can't place it. | |||
Someone said that Matt was withdrawn and may have been pissed at Rivers. He was soooo into it tonight. Jumpin' and Humpin'. But just in case, I brought two pieces of paper. One said "Smile Matt" and when I held it up he read it and did a puppy dog frown. The other one said "Can I have a pick?" And, well, here I am with Matt's pick. Handed down to the security guard and then to me. That was the nicest the security guard ever was. He confiscated the guy beside me's bootleg. | |||
They left mid-show and said "See ya next time." But Karl brought out a lower microphone and I yelled "Butterfly" and everybody cheered. There was a lot of Shushing during that song. Then the rest of the band come out and and played a few more songs, finishing with Surf Wax. "SMOKE DOPE!" | |||
After the show Carli gave me a backstage pass sticker. I went backstage with my friend Pat and backstage was a long hallway (what did they expect if the venue was a Greek Orthodoxe Church?). Rivers was at the end of the hallway, just outside. Unfortunately, one didn't need backstage passes to be outside so there was a mob of fans. Rivers did sign my Pinkerton lyric book. He didn't sign my Harvard boxers. I then said, "Thanks. You're a doll." That's my new catch phrase. I was going to warn Rivers about the planned influx of letters from disgruntled Indianapolonians but some girl interrupted me, saying, "I'm half Japanese." Pat said we'd better go.|Dave|[https://www.angelfire.com/ks/weezerisdope/concertreviewseven.html angelfire.com/weezerisdope], [[November 7]], [[1996]]}} | |||
