Weezer launched their Voyage to the Blue Planet tour with a rousing efficiency in Saint Paul, Minnesota, on Thursday.

The trek celebrates the thirtieth anniversary of the beloved alt-rockers’ self-titled album, generally referred to as the Blue Album. While that LP was carried out in its entirety, it was solely a part of a much wider present.

From the opening moments of their St. Paul efficiency, Weezer made clear that their sci-fi-themed tour title wasn’t only for present.

A big spacecraft began on the stage, then “blasted off” to reveal the band members, decked out in astronaut fits. Weezer – made up of frontman Rivers Cuomo, guitarist Brian Bell, bassist Scott Shriner and drummer Patrick Wilson – then proceeded to rock by means of materials from all through their profession, as stars, planets and UFOs periodically appeared round them.

The present was loosely separated into three components. The first, Blue Voyage Takeoff, featured a set of the band’s varied hits, together with “Hash Pipe,” “Beverly Hills” and “Island in the Sun.”

Next, the present’s plot, which was paying homage to a campy Star Trek or Lost in Space episode, positioned Weezer in the Pinkerton Asteroid Belt. Appropriately, the rockers delivered a sequence of tunes from their cult-classic second album, together with “Why Bother?” and “Pink Triangle.”

Then got here the second everybody was ready for. After their intergalactic travels, Weezer touched down on the Blue Planet, solely to uncover it was dying. What might carry it again to life? Why, taking part in their debut album in its entirety, in fact. “That’s one small step for Weezer, one giant leap for Weezer-kind!” Cuomo declared, totally embracing the enjoyable of the second. The crowd then fortunately rocked out to such traditional tracks as “My Name Is Jonas,” “”Undone – The Sweater Song” and “Buddy Holly.”

Pictures from the present and a full set listing will be discovered beneath. Weezer’s Voyage to the Blue Planet tour continues by means of mid-October, with stops all through the U.S.
