Karl's Corner - 09/26/2001

..in the hiz-ouse tonight:
Jimmy Pop (Bloodhound Gang)
Planet Janet
...and a raging army of weezites!
...listening online at y100.com was another army as well! heres a nice play by play from a fan... 
:::" Since I'm not going to the show in VA, I've resorted to listening to the webcast of it in
:::Philly-- I'm gonna hear the boys live one way or another!!
:::So far, at 8:55, at my pretend weezer concert, excitement's running high.
:::weezer is going to be taking the stage in a mere 5 minutes, the crowd of one
:::is rocking out to some Ben Folds Five that Y100's playing.
:::9:08- Ok, so my computer clock is slow. Darn 56k connections! The DJ just
:::announced that Mikey was in a psych hospital and that Cold quit yesterday.
:::Just a little out-dated. I think I'll get a coke and pretend to pay 6.50 for
:::it, just like at a real concert...
:::9:23- WEEZER'S ON STAGE!! THE CROWD GOES WILD!!!! The arena darkens, the
:::opening chords arrest the heart, the careful timing of the drums pulses
:::through your veins... On the less poetic note, the AOL Weezer chat room is
:::filling up with folks being informed of the webcast by me- my audience is
:::growing!
:::9:33- "... in the garage i feel safe" Bliss. Complete bliss. "My stupid
:::moniters weren't working and i forgot to put my glasses on... But
:::everything's back to normal now. Alright. I'm good to go."
:::-Rivers (Aw, yeah!)
:::9:37- "Ok, here's another song." Nice and articulate, hehe...
:::940- "Dude, thanks a lot, yeah, whatever, this song is called Photograph--
:::Wait, I missed one, this is a new song." Heeeyyy, I like this new stuff.
:::Take back the love you gave me.... I'm diggin it. "_Now_ we'll play
:::Photograph."
:::9:47- "Alright, starting to feel pretty good.. For those of you who
:::care..." "Alright." I'm Tired of Sex! Rock out!
:::I love you weezer! Me and my virtual audience start crowd surfing the best
:::we can by ourselves-- ouch, I think I just got a bruise. Crap. "Moving
:::along now.." Jonas takes over.
:::9:53- "This is a new song, Do You Want Me To Stay"
:::"I dont believe that you need me" good lyrics, it's catchy. The crowd's
:::enjoying it, definitely. The security guards are having a little more
:::difficulty containing the mosh pits erupting. "Oh yeah, thank you.
:::Whatever. This is a song called Smile."
:::9:59- "Now we're going to try a song call Dope Nose" ... "Aw, yeah that's new
:::jam, fresh jam.. here's an old jam..." Sweater Song, of course,
:::it's a classic. Everyone's waving their sweaters around, as camera's are
:::capturing as many perfect moments as possible.
:::10:07- Is Don't Let Go a key higher or is the harmony just coming out
:::more... It's a little different... Rivers' part is kinda weirdish... "Yeah.
:::Please people, don't let go." Ah-- Say It Aint So-- we're singing along,
:::screaming louder than ever!
:::10:14- "Totally in the mood for a drum solo now.. Alright, I
:::guess I'm alone on that one.." Ha, ok, that made sense, no. "Yeah, thanks a
:::lot."
:::10:18- Hash pipe. Holy crap. Rivers' falsetto rocks. That's way up in my
:::range... Impressive! Anyone have their glasses break over that one?
:::10:22- Oh, it's time for Only In Dreams-- a hush comes over the crowd...
:::what a beautiful song. Hey, stage diving!
:::10:30- weezer exits, the crowd wants more! MORE! MORE! MORE! Hey, where's
:::my lighter?
:::10:33- Buddy Holly rocks it out-- did Rivers' voice crack a little in the
:::beginning there? Aww.. that's cute! Ha, yeah. "Thanks a
:::lot you guys have been bitchin'.. here's the last song... it goes something
:::like this.."
:::10:36- Surf Wax America! YEAH WEEZER! (Man, there's that rockin' falsetto..
:::why don't the guys in my acappella group have that sound?)
:::So, the crowd slowly disbands, sweaty, tired, but satisfied.. What a
:::completely awesome concert.. Thanks a million guys, we all rocked out here in
:::little ol' Great Bridge listening to the concert-- just spreading the weezer
:::lovin'!
:::=w= rocks my socks!"
:::rock it,
:::ash street
