Is it true they switch instruments after each song?

Yea for the most part.

Regine, imo, stole the show. She was awesome and played literally every instrument on the stage and also sang.

Win played the guitar and piano.

The rest kinda rotated on different instruments as well.

I take back any mean thing i've ever said about arcade fire (i still maintain their latest album still their worst, but w/e everything was great live).

I think my favorite moment of the show was during "It's Never Over (Hey Morpheus)", Regine disappeared from the stage and reappeared on a stage in the middle of the arena and they basically sang to each other. It was awesome.

Blue Album is 20. I don't think it's hyperbole to say that it was, and probably still is in some way, a huge part of my life.

Weezer just played a 20th anniversary show at the ryman where they played a set of greatest hits then had an intermission where they had a slide show tracking the history of the band, then came back out and played the entire blue album all the way through.

The next night they did they same but with pinkerton.

I wasnt able to get blue album night =/ but i did get pinkerton and it was awesome.

They switch here and there, but it's not that regimented. The best live show I've ever seen was AF at the Chicago Theatre in 2007. This video is terrible with terrible audio, but it's the most powerful thing I've ever seen/heard live (you can hear my friend Matt ape [expletive] whoooo at 0:16 and 1:04):

Of course it was. Mine too. Pinkerton is also severely underrated.

When I was 11yo I bought two records during my first solo trip to the store. Pearl Jam - Vitalogy, and Bone Thugs - East '99 Eternal. Up until that point I'd only listened to Amy Grant, Twila Paris and Michael W Smith. My mom made me take them back and yelled at the cashier (thanks to "Satan's Bed" and every song on E'99).

I vowed to be able to recite the name of every Wu Tang (because that's way harder than Bone Thugs) member from memory 19 years later at the age of 30. And I can.

No doubt there will also be some monetary compensation in the mix. Businessweek estimates that the song had earned $562 million by 2008.

That's incredible.
