Rivers Cuomo - Say It Ain't So – Live in San Francisco

Rivers Cuomo - Say It Ain't So – San Francisco, Live, 5-9-18, 1st row, Bottom of the Hill. Rivers: Come on guys, somebody talk! lol Crystal Light is my Jam! lol

Other Tidbits:
An evening with Rivers Cuomo. Karl leaked it to the fans that there was a special guest planned, and it turned out to be Jason Cropper, Weezer's original guitarist!

After the show, Rivers talked with some of the fans and took pictures, which was nice.

Rivers: Could you turn up my monitors, please? The crowd is singing very loud… so it’s… hard to hear this lol

You guys nailed the solo! (to ‘Say It Ain't So’)

Tomorrow is May 10th… the date The Blue Album came out.

Rivers (before ‘Basket Case’): I went to see Billie Joe's new band the other night (The Longshot). They were supposed to play tonight, right down the road, but they cancelled… So I guess I feel kind of silly for learning one of their songs... lol

Rivers: Should we talk a bit or keep going? I’m not good at reading the crowd… :P

Fan: What’s Suzanne’s brownie recipe? (referencing the lyrics to Weezer’s song ‘Suzanne’)
Rivers: Suzanne? Oh, jeez… Suzanne was a secretary of our A&R guy at Geffen Records. And she made us brownies… And they were just regular brownies… they weren’t… maybe she made special brownies for one of the other bands at Geffen Records… Not for Weezer! lol

Fan: Who’s the special guest tonight?
Rivers: Who told you that?
Fan: Karl did.
Rivers: He did? Fu*ker! You guys got to be patient… lol There shall be a special guest tonight… if you all behave. :P
Fan: Is it Billie Joe?
Rivers: No, it's not Billie Joe... But if anyone knows him, call him up and bring him down!

[mlm]

Imagine having people sing along like that to words and melodies you wrote. That’s the musician’s dream, I can’t imagine how great he felt up there

[NostalgiaCassetteCity]

I love how everybody gets super loud at "Wrestle with Jimmy"

[trydigama]

More like The crowd live in San Francisco with River Cuomo

[pool_rtg]

I love how some of the crowd was ready to sing the initial "oh yeah"

[theunionoftheblueshirtedon]

It's crazy how everyone even knows the guitar solo, really shows how much of an impact Weezer has really had

[noahpray]

I low key teared up when they sang the solo, I freaking love weezer

[psjamming]

He looked so happy when the crowd did the guitar solo

[BlueCatMafia]

Usually the crowd gets on my nerves during performances like this, but I catch myself smiling the whole time listening to this. Especially the end.

[bradclash]

I lost it when the guy in the crowd yells out the drum fill at the end of the solo @ 3:32

[samantham]

You know your song is so iconic and amazing that the crowd even sings the guitar solo

[robbocat]

This is awesome, out of the doubtless hundreds of times he's performed this live this one actually feels unique, thanks to those in room lol

[thegodofpez]

On my 45th birthday, this remains my all time favorite song.

[arnaudthepgm]

Hearing him and this crowd singing warms my Heart

[acousticmario]

Man I can feel the energy of that room. Gives me goosebumps and made my eyes water.

[everithingmeansnothingtome]

solo voice!!! people on audience deserve heaven!!!!

[joaovasco]

That crowd actualy did what I do alone at the car, but they did it loudly, together, while the guy that made the song was playing it, and listening to them making that. That crowd is cool.

[blueflash]

You know it’s lit when the crowd sings the solo

[SoulOfficer]

I love seeing everyone getting salty at the audience singing, sorry people are having fun and getting their moneys worth lmao. Seemed like a great time.

[Calrb]

I WISH I WAS THERE - What a beautifully intimate setting!!!

[mattmadolah]

I've fallen in love with this crowd.
Every Musicians exact DREAM is having your own song be stolen from you by your crowd <3
