{{Karl Koch quote 2|...The Raditude Tour got off to a great start tonight here in Chicago, before a raucous sold out crowd. The Aragon is a legendary and quite beautiful venue where Weezer has played several times, and its always pretty great here. Its a big echo-y room which presents some acoustic issues depending on where one is standing, but tonight things were under control. Well, they were sort of out of control actually, but in the good way, with ladder climbing, balcony wig wearing, Petron bottles, giant beachballs, a contest winning guest singer, and much more. Tonights attendees saw the debut of a epic new instrumental intro song, written by Rivers himself - preceeded by a bit of "Hot For Teacher" for good measure of course. | |||
Johanna M. won a contest with Q101 which got her onstage, dueting with Rivers on "I Want You To"! Prior to the show, she was escorted backstage where Brian went over the melodies and lyrics with her and got her ready for her stagetime! Johanna had the pipes and sounded good! | |||
Shout-out to veteran photog Paul Natkin who shot the weezer show with me tonight, his wisdom, humor and insights were much appreciated. Paul has shot like everybody in music, and was kind enough to give us a cool shot of Rivers from when he got down with the peeps in the front row during "Let it all hang out". (pic #2 below) | |||
And a shout out to Anuj B., who was onhand to hang and watch the band he freaked out on in 1994 as a youngster, inspiring him to start the Rebel Weezer Alliance (RWA) website in late 1994 / early 1995. The RWA soon therafter got the URL weezer.net, which as students of weezer history know, eventually became the official weezer.com in 2000. Via Anuj's RWA, mid 90's weezer fans had literally the only source of weezer video clips online and a direct line to weezer news well before I got online, via direct contact with Mykel and Carli of the weezer fanclub, and Brian's dad! Anuj is pictured in pic #12 below with an enterprising bootlegger down on Lawrence Ave. | |||
