Had a good Weezer show last night. Very Emergency opened for us and played Pinkerton (dressed as the Addams family) and we finished with the blue album. It was a shitload of fun, no one started drinking jager onstage this time, and I think we got well paid.
I've been playing in one band or another here most of the decade, and it never ceases to amaze me: if you have more than three people at your show, some motherfucker is going to yell "Freebird". Why?
It was maybe funny in 1977, when that one guy forgot which concert he was attending.
I don't know if the drunks that yell it actually want to hear the song, or if they just want to hear themselves yell. Personally, I could go the rest of my life never hearing Skynard ever again. Or hearing requests for Freebird. The trouble is, after so many years of this, I'm all out of clever responses.
Can we suddenly launch into the full 10-whatever minutes of "Green Grass and High Tides"?
