do you remember the giant, amazonian looking woman who was up front? She was seriously 7 ft tall.

Thanks for getting these posted... we were up on the rail in front of pat & scott, but we didn't have a camera proper, just phones... i'm glad you got the tribute, we got most of IJTOTLOMD... OiD is always intense, but especially so this time given the circumstances... brought me to tears easily :(

I finished uploading some more videos from the show. Again, I apologize for the shakiness but the crowd surfers were getting worse as the show went on.

Most of the show was great. Teenage Bottlerocket asked the crowd to start pogoing, and everyone in the place did. This allowed me to move to the front, which was right on the edge of the mosh pit. Urge Overkill was fine, but they we were playing to the wrong crowd. They didn't say much, and never introduced themselves. When weezer came out, Rivers was kicking a soccer ball around, made the Mikey dedication, then the set began. The band seemed to be a bit down, not very talkative. At least, they didn't seem as stoked as they have been in other live videos I've seen recently. A stage manager brought the little acoustic guitar on stage that Rivers usually destroys at shows, but it sat next to the drums all night. I still had a great time, and they sounded tight, besides ITOTLOMD. Only In Dreams live is always an intense experience.

The hell? People who got there hours before doors opened and waited in line to get a good spot think they are entitled to be in the front, and rightfully so.

This thread has gotten way off topic. Cladeedah is an exceptionally nice person and so much of a fan that she travels to see live shows whenever she can. I'd imagine a lot of us would do that if we had the means.

To get back on topic, the dedication was very nice and I thank Gregor for posting it and the other videos - they really captured the energy at the show.

That's because groupies think they are entitled to be in the front, even when they do tower above the rest.

Gregor =w= Langbehn said:
my 4'10" friend managed to grab the front bar as she was falling forward, landing her right in front of Cladeedah (if that was her). She didn't take to kindly to someone getting in front of her.

If you are talking about Cladeedah I met her too at memories in Chicago she was the reason I was able to find my friends because they used her as reference.

Probably one of the nicer people I have met.

I don't know who she was but she was really nice, when I got up there to talk to her.

But from behind she blocked so many views from behind, people were going to go on strike and just make her crowdsurf the whole time. xD

But good for her. I'm glad she got front row. Really nice girl.

The way I see it, anyone who arrived first after waiting a long time should get the front, though if someone behind them is pushed up there, you don't need to start a fight. The way pressure travels in GA, you can't just push someone back to their original spot because the people behind them have moved forward and there's no space (stop me if that made no sense).

I don't know that it's cool of you guys to be talking bad about someone because of their height. She can't help how tall she is. There's not much she can do about her height. It's also kind of disappointing that we went to something this petty in a thread about Weezer's dedication to their friend.

If you do not have anything nice to say, please do not say them about people you do not know. Thank you :)

good point. forget the freakishly tall bit and focus on the fact that she's kind of a dumb b****.

You make that sound like it's a bad thing.

I think what LoveWeezer is saying is that everyone who has met Claudia, Weezer included, adores her because she is a wonderful person and an awesome enthusiastic fan. Not only is she fantastic but as people said earlier, she is by far the easiest way to find your friends at a show <3

I agree with Gohi, sad it turned into this just because one person mentioned how tall she was (6'5" by the way) and at about a foot shorter than her I also agree that people who wait the longest deserve to be up front. That's why I make sure I get there when she does, I am much happier standing next to her than in back of her! Also that I know Scott loves having her right in the front row in front of him at every show she goes to, so there is literally no reason for her not to be there :)

Kitten$, it's unfortunate that you don't know her, and it's sad that you seem to be jealous that she can afford to go to =w= shows that you can't go to. I hope you get over it.

Yes, this is exactly what I was trying to say. I am happy someone understands. :)

This should not have been bumped. It was pointless. You're not gonna change bieber's mind. This thread is going nowhere fast. Cut the arguing out or this thread will be locked/deleted.
