This is so much better than the way they play it now.
Of course, not that the way they play it now is bad or anything, because it's certainly better than the way they played it around the time Maladroit came out.
Even though it's been 11 months, I do have an answer to this. I just found a bootleg with the audio of this show called "Goodlife". It has this whole setlist, plus Surf Wax America and Buddy Holly from a show on 10/22 in Japan. It's available in perfect quality from the FM Broadcast of the show.
Anyway, Rivers' emotion, and actually the whole band for that matter, all the way through this set are giving it their all & it kicks ass. We need more of that now.
im upset about them cutting the good life lol. this is the best i have ever seen rivers perform and its also during his prime. and TGL is my #1 fav song, its heartbreaking..
but.. regardless.. this performance of buddy holly (not my favorite song but still good) is awesome. rivers never has this much energy now!
did they play across the sea in this concrt ?

This just reiterates the point that Weezer is essentially two different bands, based on the eras.

Thats total bullshit that they needed to cut Good Life.. I mean their songs average like 4 mins and to cut a song is BULLSHIT! They got f*Cked over!

Weezer is one of the few bands today that truly knows how to rock out.
They also don't seem like a bunch of douches who take themselves too seriously.

The way it should be played... Fast and sloppy.

Not at first, but he's been drinking the beer by his foot since Undone, so I'm pretty sure he's at least buzzed, this being the 9th song.
