Weezer and Pixies’ co-headlining tour brought a seamless blend of 90s rock nostalgia to the St. Joseph\u2019s Amphitheater in Syracuse, NY on July 15<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Pixies<\/a> ripped right into their set with their raw punk rock hits. Their set was much more rigid and simplified in comparison to Weezer<\/a>\u2019s. It was also so jam-packed that they left no time to interact with their fans. They undeniably showed the audience why they have been the influence to many of their other favorite artists. <\/span><\/p>\n

Once Weezer took the stage, they wasted no time busting out their mega hits. They kicked off their set with their most notable song “Buddy Holly.” Fans had a nostalgia overload because the band re-created the “Buddy Holly” Arnold’s Drive In video set and each band member was dressed in clothing to match while performing the song.<\/span><\/p>\n

Weezer was the complete opposite of Pixies and had numerous interactions with the crowd. The band\u2019s front man, Rivers Cuomo even visited the cheap seats on a small stage in the back of the amphitheater and performed a few hits including \u201cIsland in the Sun\u201d and \u201cFeels Like Summer\u201d. He traveled to this other stage via the S.S. Weezer which was a small boat with wheels that security operated in the absence of water. <\/span><\/p>\n

The crowd could be heard singing along with every song with Rivers all the way to the parking lot. You could tell Rivers and the rest of Weezer were genuinely enjoying themselves and putting on the best show they knew how. <\/span><\/p>\n
