2011/05/21 Washington, DC: RFK Stadium, DC 101 Chili Cookoff

We are happy to be back in the nations capital once again, and after 2 days of rainy weather up in Boston and Philly, it appears the sun is finally shining on the weez. Today's show is an early one - in fact they opened the gates at RFK Stadium at 11 AM, which sure seems early for the rock and the roll, but it is the weekend after all, plus this way anyone who plans on getting raptured this evening will still have time to. But the rest of us will be rocking out starting at 6:45!

Rivers is excited to be meeting some of the DC United soccer team players later today, who are coming down to check out the rock on their home field.

More later - are you going? Did you go? Comment here and/or in our message boards, tell your tale! Post your show pix on our photo page!

Im in the Air Force and a few weeks ago I was volunTOLD to go work security details for the Andrews Air FOrce Airshow. I had to work 50+ hours Friday, Sat, and sunday. I missed the concert.. I was soooo bummed man.

Comment by Charlie Snow on May 21, 2011 at 8:53pm: I was there, it WAS FREAKING AWESOME !!! was in the thick of the Crowd Surfers, Mosh Pits and General Crazyness !! But All worth it to see the BEST BAND EVER !!!

Comment by Terminator on May 21, 2011 at 7:56pm: I came an hour before Weezer came on and before they started playing saw 4 different people pass out and get carted off on stretchers. Makes me glad I'm not 21 anymore.
