Flash memory has a limited amount of times it can rewrite. There actually is a difference between expensive and cheap SD cards. Also they can become corrupted. I just spoke to a guy who shot a whole tv series season using P2 cards which consist of 4 sd cards in a raid system packaged in a PCMCIA card. He said that he had several corruptions and those cost about $900 for a 16GB card and are supposed to be top of the line SD cards in the raid. I have never believed that.
More on topic SanDisk provides a software called Rescue Pro Delux with any memory card purchase. It supposedly works on "Any memory card format". Never used it. It's sitting on my desk.
Ummm....if anyone is unaware...RAID is a 4-letter BAD BAD word!!
If I had even a penny for every customer I have had that thought RAID "had their back" and was doing what it was supposed to do...then found out the HARD way that RAID is VERY flaky and there is NO WAY...NO WAY IN HELL...to recover a bad RAID striped disk Yeah....went through that TOO many times...I will never use ANYTHING with RAID ever!
Let me know how that show goes...I've been a HUGE Weezer fan (seen them every time they toured since like...1998) but I'm really wary of that show, considering the opening bands.
You lucky Weezer-seeing batardos. They aren't coming to Wisconsin, and I don't want to go that far out of my way for the Chicago or Minnesota show.
Let me know how that goes.
EPIC
I've been a big Weezer fan since day one, and I had some pretty high expectations going in, and... they were exceeded by a LOT! The band opened with My Name is Jonas and then just continued to KICKASS non-stop for 1 hour and 45 minutes. The setlist was pretty much perfect, and the band really seemed to have a BLAST, trading instruments again and again, and the Bass player did a fair amount of the singing leaving Rivers the freedom to run and jump around all over the place like a manic rockstar maniac while shredding his ASSOFF, at times even while bouncing on a little trampoline that was switched out in favor of a much BIGGER trampoline later on... but I really don't want to say too much more, just because this is a show, not to read about, but to EXPERIENCE Oh, and the Hootenanny? About 30 or so local musicians were called up to stage to play the Garden with the band... guitars, cowbells, clarinets, accordians, banjos... even a didgeridoo! That really could have gone either way, but the way it WENT was that it was one of the coolest things I've ever seen and heard, ESPECIALLY the flute solos!!!!!!
But yeah... you may want to drink a couple extra cheaper beers at the local bar and skip Angels and Airwaves who were simply IMHO ... they were the exact opposite of everything that came after and looked like they weren't having ANY fun whatsoever up there... and the way they kept "posing?" I swear this band must practice in front of a giant mirror or something though they WERE a lot of fun to make fun of... and at one point near the end of their set, when one guy screamed out "You Suck!" ... this super emo'ed out dude got incredibly angry and ran over to the guy and tried to start a fight with him over it ??? ... it was freakin' hysterical to watch, reminded me of that scene in Detroit Rock City with the rockers and the disco kids battling it out in the street, LMASSOFF
Anyways, I really can just go on and on and on about Weezer last night, but bottom line, I've been to dozens of shows at the Garden, and this one stacks right up there with the best of them... if you like Weezer, go SEE THEM... I wish I could go back and do it all again tonight

I think I have a problem. I just started shopping on lin for fishing gear that I don't need (well I need the Smelly Jelly), and can't afford. I haven't clicked the check out button, but it's upt to $65. What am going to do with me?
Can either of you guys post the setlist? I'm interested to see what they played. Was it mostly Red album stuff, older stuff, a mix or what?
It was a mix + some covers
I hate seeing tour setlists before seeing a show, it tends to ruin the surprise factor which is really important to me... but if you really want to know, here's a link to the MSG set
Sweet Jeebus! Susanne and a couple tunes from Goat Punishment's repertoire?! Trampolines? I'm even more jealous after reading up on that show than I was when you mentioned it.
I wonder if Rivers is still sticking with that "make setlists via 12-sided die" strategy as with tours past.
