Weezer

In October 2012, when Weezer performed 'Say it Ain't So' live in Cedar Rapids, they were riding high on the release of their album 'Batman', which had come out just a couple of weeks earlier. This album, tied to the iconic comic franchise, was part of Weezer's foray into themed projects. Prior to this, they had released 'Everybody's Madness' in 2010, showcasing their continued evolution in sound and lyrical complexity. Interestingly, 2012 marked a period where fans were eager for a resurgence of the classic rock vibe that characterized their early work—something that 'Say it Ain't So' exemplifies perfectly. This performance captured the energy of a band that was both nostalgic and ready to tackle new creative challenges, leaving audiences singing along and reliving those early '90s emotions.
