Weezer Live Performance of Pork and Beans at Crawfish Boil 2011
In 2011, when Weezer performed at the Crawfish Boil, they were riding high on the success of their album "Hurley," which was released the previous year. It marked a significant time in Weezer's journey as they experimented with their sound and continued to capture their unique blend of power pop and alternative rock. "Hurley" featured fan favorites like "Memories" and showcased a return to form for the band after a few mixed receptions to their earlier work. The live performance at Pizza Hut Park encapsulated the energy and charisma that frontman Rivers Cuomo is known for, particularly during their hit song "Pork and Beans." Fun fact: The album's cover art famously featured actor Jorge Garcia, known for his role in the show "Lost," adding an interesting twist to the band's tradition of quirky cover designs. This set was a celebration of both nostalgia and new beginnings for Weezer.
