If it was you and you would like photo credit I will be happy to add it.)
In 2002 Weezer posted online that they were going to allow one person at each tour stop to come out and record the shows on their summer tour and a contact email for tapers to send the request too. My friend Tom got picked for this Redrocks date. He still had to buy his own ticket and when he called his Weezer contact the guy came out and got his gear and took it to the soundboard area but made Tom wait in line. So not a fun prize with a friendly reception. They stopped their open taping policy very shortly after this and went with a no fan recording stance. Not a surprise for a big band like Weezer.
Tom got in and was able to set up his gear in the soundboard cage and run the mics high on a stand. It must have been a nice calm night at Redrocks because this recording is super nice. Hardly any crowd chatter and no wind phasing that you can get at any outdoor venue.
Pretty great set list and River's is full of in-between song banter. Fun show. Enjoy.
