The first concert i ever went to was the Pop Disaster tour with Green Day and Blink 182 in 2002 at the Verizon Amphitheater, so it wasn't a difficult decision deciding to revisit my roots and see Blink play again at the Verizon Amphitheater for their 2009 reunion tour.
Now if you've ever been to the VA in Irvine you know their seating arrangement, with thousands of seats leading to the stage, with a long patch of grass behind ALL of these seats for the not so financially gifted folks. My view of the show wasn't that different from my Phoenix show last night.
Notice the distance
Then like a gift from Allah himself, my lovely friend Kelsey invited me and my buddies a tad bit closer to the stage to her section. Notice the difference in photos.
SO AWESOME!
and did you know Travis Barker can fly?
Weezer rocked it before Blink came out. They played classics like My Name is Jonas and the sweater song with other good ones from pinkerton and the green album. I must say their performlance was much better than Blinks, where Tom Delong would just forget the lyircs or make a fart joke in the middle of the song. But weezer did a cool thing where they would all switch instruments. Their bald drummer played 95% of their songs on guitar, but it was still awesome. But i must admit, Rivers looked like a little old jewish man all hunched over with his bald spot. But that doesn't stop him from jumping across the stage on a trampoline and running in circles.
Yaawwwnnn. Standing for three hours can sure make you tired, until next time.
PS: Asher Roth sucks
