Video: Weezer – El Scorcho (Hootenanny version)
I’m not sure how I didn’t find this earlier, but Weezer have been doing the ‘Hootenanny Tour’, where, fans can bring whatever instruments they can play, and join in the performances of the songs. While this may not be the greatest musical achievement ever, it must certainly be something that’s a lot of fun for the fans taking part. As a preview to this, the band played a live set for Yahoo, with a small number of fans all bringing their own instruments in. The video of El Scorcho above is the result. A rowdy group of people singing along, half of them on guitars, a bunch of people drumming on whatever they can find, and a few stragglers playing entirely random instruments. Above all though, it’s a lot of fun. Even if it’s kind of curious that Brian Bell takes on lead duties over Rivers.
You can view the entire Weezer set, including Say It Ain’t So, Jamie, a cover of Radiohead’s Creep and a whole bunch more here.
