Now, I don't care how many of you say Weezer is washed-up live and not worth seeing anymore. I was completely blown away. Sure, there were some issues. Brian's Les Paul sounded oddly quiet, they used a sample for the intro to Jonas, and Troublemaker <i>absolutely does not work</i> just slapped in the middle of Dope Nose like that. But as far as complaints go, that's like 3 songs out of 26 all-timers. The set was just outstanding, honestly. I was already excited to get to hear TWHTALMH and Holiday, but Getchoo, Burndt Jamb, and freakin <i>Across the Sea</i> were great surprises that got me even more hyped for the main event. It was around the Pinkerton Asteroid Belt that I noticed someone in the crowd holding up the "HI" balloons from the Flaming Lips's little stunt, I thought that was funny. Anyway, Weezer absolutely killed it on every last song, Pat especially bringing his A-game. (Well, as close to his A-game as he's been since SS2K, but I'd consider that his S-game or something.) I liked how for the interludes in Undone, Brian improvised some banter about stuff to do in Philly, like he mentioned swinging around to a specific restaurant to grab a cheesesteak. It was a bit odd he was the only one talking, but that's leagues better than the backing track they've played to in the past. And of course, speaking of stage banter, the freakin theatrics in this show were just great. It was a bit absurd, but then again, it's <i>Weezer</i> we're talking about. I have a feeling I'll be quoting "it's dying.... we need the blue album to bring it back!!" for a while. I also very much appreciated the revival and subsequent murder of Bokkus. Now all we need is some justice for Hoblie the Pineapple Tree Boy...

In the end, though I could hear everyone around me praying for an encore, the Voyage to the Blue Planet was a stellar show on a level that I hope Weezer can match on their next tours. &nbsp;&nbsp;-- Meri :3}}
