==March 2002: Westlake Studios - early Album 5 sessions==
In between the Hyper Extended Midget Tour and the Spring '02 Europe tour, the band recorded new material, with the intention of getting a start on their 5th album before the 4th (Maladroit) was even released! None of these songs or recordings made it to the 5th album, creating yet another set of well recorded demos. Listed below are what songs were worked on that day. Many takes of each song were tried.

==May 2002 - Japan World Cup Tour==
The band had all shows on this tour recorded. Later, a live E.P. was released in September '02 called The Lion and the Witch, which consisted of performances culled from these recordings.
Shows that the songs were drawn from:
#Intro (Fukuoka) / "Dope Nose" (Nagoya)(the intro includes an instrumental piece known as "Polynesia", that wasn't listed in the track listing due to a 6 song limit on what officially constitutes an "E.P.")
#"Island in the Sun" (Nagoya)
#"Death and Destruction" (Hiroshima)
#"Falling for You" (Tokyo Zepp 5-26)
#"El Scorcho" (Tokyo Budokan 5-27)

additionally, some of these recordings were also shot with 16mm film by Rod Cervera, and later finished with mixed sound from the recordings. "Prodigy Lover" from these films ended up on the Weezer DVD. 
==The Enlightenment Tour - 07/02 - 8/02==
The Enlightenment Tour was heavily documented. Most shows were recorded by the band's sound engineer, who recorded the show in one of 2 different ways, depending on the situation. The first method involved recording the mix from the mixing board direct to a cd-r in a 'consumer' stand alone cd burner. The other method involved recording multitrack to a DA-88 8 track rig, the masters from which were later mixed down by Rod Cervera. This second method was preferred but not always possible, particularly earlier in the tour.
Also, many of the shows were covered by a video crew for the 'jumbotrons', and their live multicamera video mix was preserved to video tape which usually (but not always) ended up in the bands possesion after the shows. Meanwhile Karl was also shooting digital video, usually with 2 different cameras (one on a tripod, the other hand held), selecting various songs each night to focus on.
Additionally, some shows on this tour were audio bootlegged by fans, sometimes secretly, and sometimes with the cooperation of the band and Karl, working with a co-ordinating fan who acted as an online liason betweeen potential fan 'tapers' and karl, who each night would guide the taper to the soundboard area, where they were allowed to set up their independent recording system (everything from minidiscs to semi-pro setups).
Also, there were some recordings made of soundchecks, where the band would work on new material, at the time intended for Album 5. 
the following list is a work in progress, as it is incomplete in the bootleg info department. Your input is welcome, email Karl with additions/corrections.

==03/06/03 rivers home recording==
#426 "Hold Me"
This recording was unofficially released online in mp3 form at this time. Throughout the 2003 recording process, Rivers was doing various (very) lo-fi home recordings, either directly into his computer or into a handheld digital voice recorder, in order to save new song ideas, even as the new album was taking shape. There is no list of these recordings and it it unknown if they were saved or not. This "Hold Me" and a handful of cover songs are just about the only home Rivers demo material from this time that has ever surfaced.
"...Rivers posted on the RCB that Scott played on it, and some other non =w= people, i think he said there were 2 other guitarists, but i could be wrong. -jason skislak" 
==3/??/03 - rehearsal at SIR (?)==
#"Hold Me" (partial clip)
There is a (partial) full band electric version of "Hold Me" that was shared with fans by Rivers via a direct-to-fan mp3 sharing, around this time, soon after the acoustic hom demo of "Hold Me" was released (see 3/6/03 above). It does not show up on the known SIR tapes from this period, but there was a lot of confusion and some unfinished/undocumented stuff around this time so it may have slipped away from the cataloguing process.
According to the talk at the time, the personell on this recording is Rivers and Scott plus 2 fill in players. This does match what was going on in the SIR sessions at the time (see 3/21, below). 
many thanks to Jason S. for help in clearing up the 'Hold Me' story.
