Weezer - SZNZ (March 20, June 21, September 22, December 21, 2022) Album • Page 85

I have somehow never seen Weezer and Saturday will be my first time. Insanely excited.

 

The setlist is awesome but I hope they mix it up a little. Would love some White Album sprinkled in.

 

Dammit I didn't realize the cd box set was limited. Fuuuuuck

 

[sort of a crosspost from the Tour forum]

The crowd at MSG was pretty weak but started to pick up during Pinkerton. It REALLY got cooking during Blue though; loved that everyone was locked in enough to scream even the backing parts on some songs, the World Has Turned in particular was rather chill-inducing. That should be a setlist staple.

Ending the show on Only In Dreams is simultaneously as epic as humanly possible but somehow anticlimactic too. You're in such a dizzying euphoria and then you...just gotta leave. I feel like they coulda tacked an encore on. That's such a minor quibble though. Any time I get to see my favorite song of all time it is such a gift.

The sound mix was awful for the first few songs. Totally blown out, vocals too low, Pat too loud, and all around way too sharp. It got fixed as the night went on but MSG is so dialed acoustically that something like this should never happen.

Also, it is just funny as someone who has seen Phish 50-plus times at MSG alone: I got told to put out a joint and to stop dancing in the aisle by security on separate occasions. Sad!

 

Weezer announce Blue Album anniversary tour concert film

 

Oooooh

 

I hope they got a director who is brave enough to allow Rivers’ weird little guy self to be fully on display on film.

 

Listening to the dusty gems vinyl for the first time, sounds really good, thrilled to have the four official bsides on record

 

just put on OK Human for the first time in ages, it's still fucking sick

 

finally listened to the SZNZ vinyl bonus tracks and to my complete lack of surprise these are better than most of the shit on SZNZ. Portia especially solos everything that's actually on Summer. this fucking band lmao

 

Dang I don’t think I’ve ever heard the sznz bonus tracks

 

they're worth tracking down imo but also it's still relative to the overall quality of SZNZ which is... not high lmao

 

Blue Album mega super deluxe is out tomorrow!

 

"mega super deluxe" lol

 

Feel like the guitars are turned wayyyyy up on this Blue 30 remaster.

 

Also this article made me lol (the main band referenced is Weezer)

Does this guy know he doesn’t have to go to album anniversary tours and can hold off until the next regular tour? lol

 

Yeah, I'm personally very over album play tours ... So I don't go

 

I do agree with some of the points made....I'm not a big fan of album play tours either, i'd much rather be surprised by the setlist....to me it comes off as a money grab and an unworthy one at that...besides for bands like Green Day and Weezer they play nearly all of their seminal albums at every show anyway...and let's not even account for Taking Back Sunday who has done TAYF for how many anniversaries now?

 

Hawthorne Heights has entered the chat

 

What I want is anniversary tours where bands cover albums from other bands on the bill.

Sure, you've heard Hawthorne Heights do The Silence In Black and White, but what about them doing Full Collapse!?

 

This would actually be so sick

 

HH doing The Weak’s End and Emery doing TSIB&W
