Weezer

In October 2012, Weezer was riding high on the wave of their seventh studio album, "Everything Will Be Alright in the End," which was released a year later. The band had recently released the EP "Death to False Metal" in 2010, and they were actively performing songs from their extensive catalog, including hits like "Pork n Beans." This live performance in Cedar Rapids showcases Weezer's enduring appeal, marked by their signature blend of catchy melodies and introspective lyrics. Interestingly, the song "Pork n Beans" not only won them a Grammy for Best Pop Performance but also reflects their knack for juxtaposing playful and deep themes. It's a testament to their ability to connect with fans, and this 2012 live recording captures that energy perfectly.
