Weezer
Weezer Performance of Why Brother at Reading Fest 2002
In August 2002, Weezer performed at the Reading Festival, a pivotal moment in their career, shortly after releasing their album 'Maladroit.' This album, known for its raw sound and heavier influences, followed their successful 2001 self-titled album (often referred to as 'The Green Album'). 'Maladroit' showcased a band that was evolving, grappling with the pressures of fame while trying to stay true to their roots. Interestingly, during this live recording, fans were treated to a raw, energetic performance that captured the band's spirit and spontaneity, appealing to both veterans and newer fans. As they shared the stage at Temple Newsam, the energy was electric, marking a significant chapter in a band that's always been unafraid to experiment and push boundaries.
