Canada Day at Downsview Park w/ Weezer and The Hip!
WEEEEEEZER!
On Canada Day I was lucky enough to hit Downsview Park with good friends to see Weezer and The Tragically Hip. As a bonus we saw Broken Social Scene, Hey Rosetta! and even Buck 65 when he popped on stage to do a Beastie Boys cover with BSS.
The best part was being with 4 people who are awesome and totally worth spending a day with.
The second best part was how amazing Weezer was on stage. They played the songs the crowd wanted to hear. They were fun. They invited us to sing along and they gave me chills.
Side note: I had pretty much given up on seeing Weezer live since it is something I’ve been thinking about and wishing would come together since high school.
Big thank yous again go out to Windows Canada – who not only hooked us up with tickets to be at the show – but then the gang in the tent gave us sunglasses – what a score!
Thanks to Rannie (@photojunkie) we even have video evidence that it was amazing being in the crowd for the day – check out the sing-a-long clip from Say It Ain’t So!
The third coolest thing was running into Katie and Alana who I have known for a combined 50 years or so. Port Hope High School can be found everywhere!
This isn’t a review – I don’t have a ton of photos – but there is one that Rannie took of me before the Weezer set that I love to pieces.
This Is What A Moment Of Excitement Looks Like!
That’s all for now kids – it’s early – I have coffee to drink – and a day to make awesome – so do you – get to it!

Great pic! I saw Weezer 3 times last summer and would see them again. They play a fantastic show, everytime!
What was attendance?
That’s a good question, Brett. I don’t know how many people were there that day. But it’s a fun memory to look back on almost 10 years later.
