The drummer rocked a 76ers outfit, with basketball bobble-heads on the drum riser. Wayne Coyne and Steven Drozd gave a shoutout to The Khyber Pass and the Trocadero, celebrating their long history of playing in Philly. David Simons, former owner of The Khyber and Troc, said, "Wow, what a lineup! All three acts played for me multiple times in the '90s on their way up. Honestly, the first time The Flaming Lips played at The Khyber was mind-blowing. Glad to hear they all still put on terrific performances.
When I mentioned The Flaming Lips' comment to David, he responded, 'Thanks for letting me know! Dinosaur Jr. also played at both The Khyber and Troc, but Weezer's first gig in Philly was at the Troc as an opener. Sorry, I can't remember who the headliner was, but it was a big act at the time, and the show sold out in advance.
Funny story about that first Weezer show -- a friend, who was a national music critic, called me to say he was coming to review the show to see Weezer. So I quickly listened to a CD they had sent us and met my friend at the Troc. Weezer was definitely fun to watch; they played everything I’d just listened to and got a very positive response from the crowd. The next day at the office, I asked the interns, "What did you think of last night's show?" One of the interns quickly shifted the conversation from the headliner to Weezer and gushed about how she now had a huge crush on one of the band members. Those were the days..."

Intro
Unexpectedly surprised by the Flaming Lips show. Weezer didn't disappoint either, delivering big as well. The stage show was immersive, drawing you in and taking you on a great journey. The setlist was packed with deep cuts, including the entire first album. They also seamlessly blended songs into a well-mixed soundtrack, with highlights like 'Pork and Beans' featuring a 'More Hit' intro, 'Burndt Jamb' flowing into a section of 'Everybody Get Dangerous,' and the 'Pacific Sunset' portion of 'Run, Raven, Run.'
