Weezer
Weezer Live Performance of Hash Pipe at Ottawa Bluesfest Concert
In July 2010, Weezer took to the stage at LeBreton Flats Park in Ottawa for the grand finale of the Ottawa Bluesfest. Before this performance, they released 'Hurley' in 2010, an album that marked a return to their classic sound after a string of experimental records. Fun fact: the cover features a photo of Hurley from the TV show 'Lost,' showcasing Weezer's quirky, pop-cultural references. This live recording captures the band’s energetic intro and the infectious spirit of their hit 'Hash Pipe,' resonating with fans who’ve followed their journey since the '90s. By this point in their career, Weezer was firmly established, navigating the challenges of reinvention while still delivering the catchy hooks and heartfelt lyrics they were known for. It’s a snapshot of a band that knows how to connect with its audience, blending nostalgia with a fresh sound.
