*Update: not in Times Square tomorrow? Watch the live video stream of tomorrows show here!
...Happy B-Day to bassman Scott Shriner!
...today we are in Canandaigua, NY, about 50 miles south of Rochester, situated on a beautiful lake. Right on. The CMAC is a really nice outdoor semi-covered ampitheater. The challenge with these kind of venues is that they are so comfortable that its easy for both the audience and band to get too cozy and forget to rock out. Fortunately Rivers and the boys have many tricks up their sleeves to get the people jumping around and rocking, and said tricks were certainly employed tonight to good effect! It was pretty cool - the longer the show went on the less the audience followed the rules and eventually the "forbidden" aisles between the seating areas were packed with dancing jumping shouting fans, the way it should be at a rock show. RC did his part by making some unplanned forays out into the audience to mix it up wild style.
Opening tonight was the excellent band Rival Schools. I hadn't heard much from them since their debut album "United By Fate" came out several years ago, but it appears they are gearing up to release their second album now. It was a real pleasure to see them in action again.
Big ups to the Buffalo (Clarence) people in the house tonight, including Wilson crony Lee Loretta, OG Special Goodness member and Thruway gas nipper extraordinaire.

Today more work was done on the "Island" video over at the Eagle Rock location. Brian volunteered to be involved in some more shots, so he went down there, where several curious fans got to say hello. After another afternoon of work involving mostly the "extras" doing more wedding type scenes, the shoot was finished, and the film was sent off to the lab to be processed and edited. Rough edits should be sent to the guys in a few days, and a final cut should be ready in a week or so...

The upcoming Weezer/Flaming Lips shows at PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel NJ (7/28) and Jones Beach in NYC (7/29) are going to be unique and historic for both bands, as something both bands have never tried before is going down.
The bands are setting up all their gear at once, and then blending and shaping their setlists into one massive gargantuan supersetlist. The bands will trade off setlist segments, switch off songs, share the stage and get loose and crazy together. No one is quite sure yet how its gonna go, but everyone is super excited!
The Flaming Lips' Wayne Coyne: “The Flaming Lips and Weezer are playing a show together...where they are actually playing together.” Rivers: “I asked Wayne if he has an extra bubble I could ride in”.

2013/07/12 Show: Toronto, Ontario, Canada: Downsview Park
Today we awoke in the fine city of Toronto, Canada's largest municipality and one that was very recently slammed by the worst rainstorms theyd seen in many years, causing massive flooding all over the place. Today is sunny and it looks like theyve had a chance to dry out a bit finally. Hopefully the metro system is back on track, as weve got to get all the fans up to the northern suburbs where Downsview Park is. Today is a special weezer show, with a regular set followed by a Blue Album in its entirety "Memories" set. Opening for us tonight is the talented Passion Pit, who have been sharing some stages with us on this weeks concert run.

...MB '05 Tour: Day 51: Uniondale, NY - Nassau Coliseum
We rolled up to the Nassau Coliseum late the night before the show, in from Maine, and checked into the amazingly convienient and oddly nautically themed hotel right next door. Come lunchtime we headed over to the venerable Coliseum, home of the New York Islanders, who like all NHL teams havent been too active of late. The mood around the arena was chipper however, as the news of the just-signed players agreement spread like wildfire amongst the local hockey faithful. Meanwhile three bands got to work.
The Fray delivered another solid set after giving weezer a beautiful hand carved 'thank you banana' (?!?). Then Taking Back Sunday took the stage and went bananas, eliciting a crazed reaction from the crowd and raising the energy level in the room to 'nuts'. Weezer picked right up where last night left off, with an animated and lively set filled with great vibes. 'No One Else' returned to the set tonight after a prolonged absence, in the encore. Recent shows have also included "My Name Is Jonas", which had been a.w.o.l. for awhile as well.
Tonight saw the completeion of the set pieces, with the giant 'dragon' now slithering across the stage and the mysterious 'floating' lights in place. Looking sweet!
Props to the JONAS member + his friend who drove 29 hours from Kansas City to make the show because they couldnt get tickets to last week's Buzz Beach Ball. After all that driving, they got to Uniondale at the crack of dawn today and got to stand front row center by the barricade! Hope they had a great show.
Also a collective shout out to the gang at the soundboard area post show. You guys rock!
And props to Scott for calling on people near the front of the crowd to chill out a bit after a girl in the front row was injured by a crowd surfer. The girl was led to the EMTs for treatment and we were unable to figure out who it was or if she had to go or got to stay for the rest of the show. She was in pain from a cut and was very frightened, so our hearts go out to her and hope she recovered quickly. If anyone has any info about this incident, let us know on the comment page.

Don't miss Weezer's HP Live Beats concert and interview session today! We’ll be performing in The Reuters Studio and it will be live streamed to the NASDAQ and Reuters billboards in Times Square. Be at 7th Avenue between 42nd and 43rd at 2:15PM to watch our show. Also, bring your cell phones to dial in and listen to us - just check in on Foursquare to #HPIntelLiveBeats to get the phone number!
Not in Times Square today? Watch the live video stream of the show here!
(later) well, a nasty monsoon blew through Times Square right as we were setting up, so as the show started there wasnt quite the crowd that was expected and things were looking kinda grim out there! But fortunately the rain soon started to let up and as the band ran through their short set and interviews, more and more people gathered to watch the band on the 5 story Nasdaq and Reuters screens, and listen in on their cell phones. After the show, Rivers did interviews with Reuters News and Time Magazine, and then we bid adieu to the Reuters offices and the HP peeps.
were you in times square? Post your story here!

2012/07/13 Show: Buffalo, NY: Buffalo Rocks The Harbor
The day has finally arrived, after 11 long years, when Weezer has returned to Buffalo, and its a glorious warm sunny day at the newly created Erie Canal Harbor Central Wharf park, where they hold the parallel concert series, Thursday In the Square, and Buffalo Rocks The Harbor. The stage is next to the restored historic Commercial Slip, where the Erie Canal once ended and the timber and steel that built America once flowed like the water that the barges traversed. Today not a lot of goods are moved in and out of this place, unless you count sno-cones and hot dogs. So lets rock.

...After an intense show yesterday, which included the first live performance of "Devotion" since the 90's, the second ever live performance of "Longtime Sunshine", The Blue Album of course and many other killer tracks, we recharged the batteries overnight - the human batteries as well as the camera batteries - and headed back over the big amazing bridge to the giant ferris wheel, which Club Zepp sits in the shadow of.
The guys had a great time last night and the crowd was pure energy and love the whole show, just amazing. I hoped for the best with the slideshow, but everyone seemed to understand what i was talking about so that was super cool. Now we do it all over again, except with an all new 1st set, and of course Pinkerton instead of Blue.

2012/07/14 Show: Cincinatti, OH: Bunbury Music Festival
Today we are down at Sawyer Point, Yeatman's Cove in Cincinnati, Ohio, basking in the occasional rain and soaking up the vibes of many many bands. This is the second day of the 3 day Bunbury festival, and Weezer is the last act of the night, on at 9:45. During the day, a lot of bands are playing including Gaslight Anthem, The Silent Comedy, Grouplove, RJD2, and Imagine Dragons. Last night Jane's Addiction played, and tomorrow, Death Cab finishes things off. Its been several years since we've been in this neck of the heartland woods, so everyone's looking forward to the rock. But really, we're always looking forward to the rock of course.

2013/07/14 Show: Victoria, BC, Canada: Rock on the Shores Festival
After a 5 show in a row run, yesterday was a day off to rest and recuperate, and to travel across the wilds of Canada to its West coast. This run of shows has the distinction of introducing us to not one but 2 new Canadian cities, both of which are very impressive - Quebec City, and now Victoria, located across the bay from both Seattle and Vancouver. The Rock On The Shores Festival promises to be fun today, as we play on the same stage as Reignwolf, Vince Vaccaro, Awolnation, Mother Mother, and the Sam Roberts Band. If you are anywhere in this snow capped mountain and pine tree dotted landscape, we hope you can make it to the show! More later...

Ok. still working on the video clips. have sucessfully captured some good bits from rehersals a few days ago, now figuring out how to convert them to mpeg (Pat loaded the program into this thing somewhere...)
big fat news! While the details will be posted on the main RWA news page as soon as they are known (which might not be for a few weeks actually), I can confirm the existance of a THREE WEEK EAST COAST WEEZER TOUR, in the works for the last 2 weeks of August and the first week of September. What cities? Dates? Details? Not known yet, not even by the band (so hold off on those questions for now...)... But YES its happening. After that there is high probability of recording, right now the hunt is on for a producer. If (and thats a very important "if") the selected producer's schedule can accomidate the band's schedule, then this sucker will be on tape soon. As ever, the news on this will hit RWA first.
as for that email thingy above, I decided to get an account that I can actually respond to from the road. And besides it was free. any email directed to "karl@weezer.net" wont be seen/answered till at least late august.
