''so the show was kind of patchy(compared to the last japan tour,which was very tight and rockin'),but i liked it somehow. setlist was good, it covered long history of weezer -all the great classic weezer songs and also it allowed me to take a look into their future (2 unreleased songs:modern dukes and yellow camaro). surprisingly,it was the first time for me to see their set without buddy holly but they have so many good tunes and i was totally entertained, i didn't notice it until a guy told me 'it's a shame that they didn't play the song tonight' after the show. some of the personal best moments: surf wax-a cue for the diving gores! sheer heat. glorious day-true stadium rawk! island-beautiful and so sad...even sadder than the recorded version. fall together-what a heavy riff..awesome. | ''so the show was kind of patchy(compared to the last japan tour,which was very tight and rockin'),but i liked it somehow. setlist was good, it covered long history of weezer -all the great classic weezer songs and also it allowed me to take a look into their future (2 unreleased songs:modern dukes and yellow camaro). surprisingly,it was the first time for me to see their set without buddy holly but they have so many good tunes and i was totally entertained, i didn't notice it until a guy told me 'it's a shame that they didn't play the song tonight' after the show. some of the personal best moments: surf wax-a cue for the diving gores! sheer heat. glorious day-true stadium rawk! island-beautiful and so sad...even sadder than the recorded version. fall together-what a heavy riff..awesome. | ||
