Weezer

By 2009, Weezer was riding high on their fifth studio album, 'Weezer' (often referred to as the 'Red Album'), which dropped in 2008. This album represented a shift, showcasing more complex arrangements and collaborative songwriting within the band, making it a pivotal moment in their career. The live recording of 'Troublemaker' at the Fuji Rock Festival in Japan on July 25, 2009, finds the band not only bringing their trademark catchy hooks to a huge international crowd but also embracing the spontaneity and energy of live performance. It was post their resurgence, and the festival leg gave them a solid platform to connect with global fans. It's interesting to note that 'Troublemaker' is one of those anthemic tracks, highlighting their ability to balance singalong choruses with the challenges of adult life, capturing that relatable essence that defines Weezer's appeal.
