ACL Day 1 Highlight: Weezer

As I was waiting for Weezer and AVICII, I heard the DJ A-Track scratching so hard and the bass was booming I was afraid I made the wrong choice by camping. But then Weezer came out and I knew I would not be dissapointed.
I will admit I was waiting at front row for Weezer so I could get front row for a very dissapointing AVICII... but Weezer kicked ass. I was so worried they would play their new god awful dog shit with Lil Wayne but thank the heavens they didn't. They're that type of band that when you listen to them live your like "I didn't know they sang that!!??" And it was just a fun experience and everyone in the crow was singing along to every word it was just awesome.
They opened with "My Name is Jonas" (I thought that was going to be their closer) and it got everything rocking. One of my friends who doesn't really smile alot had a big smile on his face because thats the emotion everyone got from them. The interludes they did were beautiful. Especcially the transition from "Memories" to "Island in the Sun". Next to RHCP they were the best band their.
I love it when they sound just as good on your ipod as live. They were all pitch perfect and knew how to get a crowd going. Then they closed with "Pork and Beans" to say goodbye to Austin and on with their tour.
In my opinion they were definantly one of the Top 5 performances at ACL this year.

This is probably their most famous song "Beverly Hills"
And their opener "My Name is Jonas"
Their closer "Pork and Beans"
And my personal favorite song and music video "Perfect Situation"
