Weezer Went Gaga (and MGMT)

On my way home from a wedding in Carlsbad, I drove past the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club on Saturday night, after the Weezer show. 

From my vantage on the 5 south, the parking lot -- jammed with cars/brake lights -- looked like the Festival of Lights during the holidays. After talking to track officials, Weezer -- arguably the highlight of the Del Mar Summer Concert Series -- pulled a humongous crowd of Jack Johnson proportions (circa 2001). 

Unable to attend due to the aforementioned wedding, I was able to locate the following Weezer set list (on the GolfingWithMusic blog), which included an MGMT/ Lady Gaga medley:

• Epic Intro
• "Hash Pipe"
• "Troublemaker"
• "Undone (The Sweater Song)"
• "Surf Wax America"
• "Memories"
• "Perfect Situation"
• "Dope Nose"
• "Say It Ain’t So"
• "Brian’s Theme" 
• "Island in the Sun"
• "El Scorcho"
• "My Name Is Jonas"
• "Beverly Hills"

Encore:

• "Pork and Beans"
• "Kids" (MGMT cover) + "Poker Face" (Lady Gaga cover)

Encore 2:

• "(If You’re Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To"
• "Buddy Holly"
