Weezer!!!!

Matt and I headed to Seattle yesterday to see the Weezer concert. Weezer is one of Matt's favorite bands, but he has never had the opportunity to see them. After checking with my brother to get his opinion on how Weezer is in concert, Matt was still not convinced that they would be as great as he imagined. He was nervous they would not live up to the expectations and be a bit boring or be one of those bands that doesn't sound well live.

The show opened with Tokyo Police Club, a newer band of young guys that had the extent of themselves, about 1/8 stage space and a few lights. They weren't all that bad, just not a large production. Angels and Airwaves were up next. The lead singer (former lead singer of Blink 182) was a bit too theatrical for my taste. The band did put on a good show and I can see them becoming bigger than they are right now.

Then the real show began. Weezer played classics like Say it ain't so, Undone (the sweater song), Suzanne (which totally surprised Matt), brought some of Seattle's artists on stage with their various instruments to play Island in the Sun and Beverly Hills and then finished the show with the great, Buddy Holly. The show was not a disappointment. The band sounded amazing live and put on one of the best shows we have seen.

Matt and I decided we needed to do things like this more often. We invest so much time into our teams that we neglect to do things like this for ourselves.
