Most of the 7/26/02 Camden concert is already on RU-vid, but for some reason Only in Dreams never made it. Well, here it is. This show was originally ripped by me back in 2002 or 2003 and posted on weezed.com
got into weezer in the BIG breakup of my life years ago and after that stage of life i never went back, but i have redicovered them and they strangley are uplifting.
This has one of if not the most intense buildup and breakdown I've ever heard in rock song (at least in the recording). In this performance, the bassist is doing his own thing, and not letting the guitars bring that apprehensive but intense buildup. Unfortunate.
Some people don't like the changeup on the bass, idk but I love it. I think Scott did a good job with the way he changed it up, and I think it suits the band well for this time period. The ending especially is great. Dudes a talented bassist.
This song makes me feel old. Talking about a bunch of unrequited dreams nearly 20 years ago. Everything about this song screams "Early 90s" and that time seems so far away. Seems that even Weezer forgot about it.
Matthew Cornwell no this is their current bassist. Fresh from when they fired the Green Album bassist (Mikey Welsh). Welsh always played their old stuff like how the original bassist did, but Scott mostly puts his version to.
@@Fakename70 no this doesn’t sound like Mikey, he played all the old songs as they were. Also this concert is from 2002 when Scott first joined so it literally couldn’t be Mikey. Also if you want to see a performance that actually has Mikey look up only in dreams live in lupos.
I found this on DVD at a record shop in 02' and bought it for my mom for Christmas. She loved it! Weezer is our favorite band ♥ Can't wait to hear this live again on the Memories Tour in NYC!!! =w=
@MrBurgundy76 You've got it right. Blue album and pinketon are two of my favorite albums ever. Take control and fall together off of maladroit are amazing
Beverly Hills is a good song too. Maybe not as deep but not all music needs to be deep. There’s art in creating pop music too. It’s fun to listen too. It’s cool that their able to do that type of music too.
@jetershomie Not all the time. During the Maladroit era, his stage presence was mostly douchey nowadays he hardly plays guitar at all. Here he's actually enjoying what he's doing.
One of my favorite songs ever but I don't appreciate that bassist trying to one-up Matt Sharp with his own spin on it. Just play it like it's supposed to be played.
Sub Zero I get your point, trying to put your own flair on it. But that is the most bass-driven song in their library. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. And I imagine that you play like you speak. Boring. Best of luck to you.
Paul Grosfield Oh and before you reply, go learn to play the song on the bass and then tell me it's an absolute fun challenge to play (after practicing it dozens of times with some band). It may sound great, but it's not something to go crazy about covering note for note...
Paul Grosfield "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" is something lame, and lazy, people say. Especially in the music scene. And that was also an awful reply. "You're boring." Fat a$$. It's actually lamer to watch someone who covers a song note for note like a human jukebox... which I imagine you are (if you can even play music)...
hmm I agree. I actually really like Scott’s twist to it. I just think the tone was off and that is what bothers me a bit, and maybe he put some unnecessary pedals to it too (at least that’s what I hear).
yeah he got the notes flawless... but his rhythm was off a beat. The one part in the riff goes to hit a note on the 4th beat, but scott just changes notes on every 1st beat.
Camerawork Ray Charles Vision mixing Stevie Wonder Apart from the dodgy tv production values, they HAVE to have performed this classic better than this :( They don't sound very tight & together at all. Is there a more definitive live performance of this anywhere?
I don’t think so. You can tell that they really love what they are doing and aren’t doing it for the money at all. Also, if they really didn’t care for music anymore, they wouldn’t be so nice to fans as they have always been. If they were hanging onto it for the money, then they wouldn’t have kept this band together. Just because their albums after blue and Pinkerton are a bit mediocre, doesn’t mean that they have finally lost their interest. I think every musician goes through that phase of bringing out sucky music. I could even name a few horrible songs from my favorite band of all time. I just think you need to learn the difference between releasing bad music vs. losing motivation in ones career.
