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"
