Weezer

In August 2000, Weezer was riding high on the waves of their latest album, 'Maladroit,' which was released just a few months earlier that same year. This live performance of 'My Name is Jonas' captures a band that, after facing ups and downs, was eager to reclaim their spot in the alt-rock scene. Interestingly, 'Maladroit' featured a raw, guitar-driven sound, a shift that showcased their evolution from the polished riffs of their earlier work. The Lupos show in Providence echoed the excitement surrounding their comeback, with fans eager to sing along to tracks that often grappled with themes of frustration and existential angst. Amid the electric atmosphere, this recording stands as a testament to Weezer's resilient spirit, marking a pivotal moment in their journey back to prominence after a turbulent phase.
