Over the weekend Will Roegge and I headed out to Riverside (way out east) for Heat 2009 which took place at the UC Riverside campus. Above was the first band we saw on the main stage called She Wants Revenge. A band I was not familar with but they are from the Valley. They place some pretty exciting rock music and I loved their performance of “Tear You Apart.”

After She Wants Revenge stepped off stage it was an expected long wait for N.E.R.D to take stage. After waiting for them for around an hour at SXSW 2008 I had no anticipation of them coming out quickly for this performance. Sure enough they brought out a DJ inbetween sets to cover some of the down time.  When N.E.R.D did come out they put on a show in typical amazing fashion. Here is picture from the closing of the show when Pharrell Williams invited girls from the crowd to come up and have a song dedicated to them.

Here is a video from my Myspace page www.myspace.com/joeyredmond which is from the final 2 minutes of the show. It is from the same song/performance of the image above from N.E.R.D. This video was shot mostly for audio to enjoy NERD playing a mashup of N.E.R.D – Everybody Nose and White Stripes – Seven Nation Army.
NERD Closing Heat 2009 @ UC Riverside – Samples White Stripes!

This video is from my Youtube page www.youtube.com/thejoeyredmond which is from the beginning of the concert. I should both videos on my point and shoot Canon SD 1100 so apologize for the poor quality but A- I was mainly in attendance to have fun and dance B- That is all they will allow you to bring in. Next big concert I plan on going to is Coachella 2009.
