The Smashing Pumpkins and Weezer review: Keening angst and power pop rock

“But we’re so happy to be here with the Smashing Pumpkins. It’s a dream come true.”

In this brisk seventy-five minute turn, Cuomo still finds room for glorious post-rock curio Only in Dreams too, but it is the new wave surge of Buddy Holly that unites the masses and underscores his credentials as heir to The Cars maestro Ric Ocasek.
