04.26.2005 Weezer/Ringside
i arrived at the venue around 30min after doors opened. the scalpers were outside the venue, not looking that busy. i asked one of them how much he was selling for, not really looking to buy or sell, he said i could probably get one from another scalper for $60. face was $45. glad i sold off my other 2 tix a few days earlier.
weezer in past tours, allowed 1 person per tour to openly tape at their soundboard throw a website application. the only time i'd ever consider doing this would probably be this tour as they're only playing small venues. sadly (well not for me i wouldn't have done it anyways) the band decided against it due to the fact that the album hasn't been released yet. (may something) what's stupid is that the album has already leaked on the internet. in terms of prevalence bootlegs don't really get around as much as leaked studio albums. whatever.
ringside. not too bad. kinda entertaining. sorta had that new wave dance punk thing going with a pop rock radio spin to it. i could definitely see them hitting it big a la maron(sic) 5.
weezer was very good. not a lot of interesting chatter from rivers, but the show was fantastic. their first show since 2002. they played about 4 new songs, and most songs off thier older albums. i've never seen weezer live, nor would i have seen them if this was the pacific coliseum, where they played last time they were here. but big band small venue, you gotta like that. no regrets here.
disappointments: no second encore. they left after the good life and left the lights off. the crowd was begging for another encore and the night was still young. at this point it was around 11:30 probably earlier. they could have easily came back and did surf wax USA and probably el scorcho as well. looks like they dropped the ball.
tape came out ok. one channel is louder than the other. not a huge deal i guess. i'm thinking about going for a collar set up rather than the up high setup.

holy shit dude. i paid 100 bucks from that legit scalper company downtown on georgia st (i forget the nme, its been 3 years) for my ticket to that show 3 years ago at the commodore when i was 19 years old (month away from 20)
what a trip that they were slangin tickets for 40-50 bucks outside. haha
oh well i had the time of my life, i was front row dead center, like 6 feet from the band. i had to piss so bad at the start of the show but i held it back cuz theres no way i could give up front row.
anyway awesome fuckin concert, im sure youll agree.
i guess this is what comes up when ur drunk and you google "weezer vancouver 2005"
peace
