We’re Weezer,” he squeaked after plowing through “My Name is Jonas,” “Hash Pipe,” and “El Scorcho” at the opening of the set. They knew better from the group that proudly sang “I’ma do that thing that I want to do / I ain’t got a thing to prove to you” in “Pork and Beans” from 2008’s “Red Album” near the end of their set.Ĭuomo spoke little, letting the music do the talking. But the generation-spanning crowd, including one under-10-year-old girl sporting a homemade Weezer T-shirt, wasn’t in attendance for a show by stereotypical rock gods.
Don’t be that guy.Ĭuomo, performing with an iconic seafoam green guitar and wearing a gray cardigan sweater with charcoal gray pants and a navy and gray pinstripe button-down shirt, was hardly the vision of rock stardom that the group has come to epitomize over the last two decades. And while we’re talking about the line, I spotted at least 20 people breaking the cardinal concert rule set forth in the 1994 comedy “PCU.” Come on, people. That doesn’t mean that at least one older concertgoer was unprepared and watching “El Scorcho” while waiting in line. Picture your perfect Spotify playlist live, and that’s essentially what Weezer delivered. 23, inside the Sands Bethlehem Event Center to a packed house. Weezer - Rivers Cuomo (guitar, vocals), Brian Bell (guitar, backup vocals), Scott Shriner (bass, backup vocals), and Patrick Wilson (drums) - delivered hit after hit after hit on Saturday, Nov. When the quirky alt-rockers opened their one hour, 15-minute set with the lead track from 1994’s so-called “Blue Album,” we both knew we were in for a treat. The only song ever written that rhymes with my wife’s maiden name, at least that we know of, is Weezer’s “My Name is Jonas.” After all, very little rhymes with Bagdonas.
