This is a good performance, but the lineup is so warped that it doesn't feel like the true Weezer any more. Tis a shame Rivers isn't on lead guitar for live and Pat should be on the drums not that random guy.
@dicksandshit Random guy?! That's Josh Freese... He was in A Perfect Circle, Guns N Roses, and he's done a lot of recording/touring with a lot of respectable musicians. I agree with you, though... Pat should be on drums rather than guitar... but Freese is an amazing drummer.
=) I was there!!! This was a fun concert. Rivers is consistently creative and full of surprises, great to hear Sara Bareilles on this performance. Good times! Love you =W= !!!
I know! Kudos for going there, Weezer! And I didn't even catch the mistake till I read the comments that said he messed up. Rivers covered it up really well.
woooo hooo!!! I was there! Unfortunately the band didn't come out afterwards but if you look at my videos you'll see a slideshow of a few years ago when they performed and Rivers came out ;o) Get Well soon Rivers!!!
wtf? why is their drummer playing guitar? And why can't Rivers play it? And their songs mostly only have 1 guitar part wtf! Rivers can sing without his guitar and most weezer songs will soudn the same anyway
Weezer have always been about having fun. Since the beginning they've had fun, silly lyrics and been making music just for the fun of it. This is just a continuation of that principle - they're having fun, just like they always have.
i always hate when bands add all these other people. i mean a extra singer is fine but something about this arangment just isn't cool. i dunno. same goes for green day.
let them sell out... they are all in their 40's ... gotta pay those bills and save up for retirement... we all saw this coming ... long live Pinkerton
Pats on acoustic. Don't get me wrong, old school weezer rocks compared to new, but i still like it, cos tbh its catchy, and if i like how a song goes, then i like a song :) .
Honestly how is this THAT much different than anything else they've ever done? What was it that made this the tipping point for you? I've seen a bunch of people say the same thing as you and I just don't see how this song in particular was the event that drove so many people away.
The tipping point,?? well let's see no originality, no killer riff's, same beat like a britney spears song, etc. etc. I like many others LOVE the Pinkerton stuff, stuff that many here have prob. never heard, when they weren't popular and selling freakin SNUGGIES, or whatever.
are you shitting me! the have two guitarists on stage and not one of them can play that acoustic part? give me a break what sell outs. Don't write a song that you can't handle live unless its a complex song, which this is everything but. Either ways I would assume they bought this song from some writer who writes most of their mediocre new stuff...
This was not a good video Weezer I thought you were better then that.
Okay, so they have 3 guitarists on stage, I swear to god other then the acoustic solo I didn't even hear any other guitars, just muffled distortion how is 3 guitars necessary?
GUy playing the SG is Jim McGorman. He is Avril's Musical Director, has played with Michelle Branch, Paul Stanley (KISS) was a part of New Radicals back in the day and was in the House Band on Rockstar: INXS/Supernova.
@2ndsergeantpavlov Patrick Wilson is playing acoustic guitar on the right side of the stage. He almost never plays drums live anymore. The great Josh Freese is playing drums. Rivers fu*ked up the lyrics at 1:53
Pat is playing the acoustic guitar, he has been for the recent tour with Blink and the tour coming up. The drummer you see is Josh Freeze from Devo, Perfect Circle and a bunch of other projects.

seriously? you don't know sara bareilles?? LOVE SONG!? Bottle It Up? Gravity? she's like my FAVORITE artist.....and i love weezer. and i love this song.
idk what it is but something about there new album seems half ass its like there not even tring there just throwing songs out there and hoping there good
Aw, Rivers messed up the lyric at 1:54. But it's okay because Sara gives him a nice lil smile! Nice performance, but I liked their gig on Letterman more.
Weezer pwns! This is, if I'm not mistaken, the first appearance of Rivers since he went off for his 40 day meditation for the year (I could easily be wrong as he hasn't been very public about that part of his life). Best artist ever!
