Today in Weezer History: 10/26/2002 - Amherst House farewell party. On this day there was a gathering at the Amherst House, located at 2226 Amherst Ave in Los Angeles, which is the house where Weezer lived and rehearsed in "the" garage in 1992-1994, and which appears in the "Say It Ain't So" video. For years after Rivers and co. moved out (back when the Blue Album came out), Rivers' friend and Avant Garde bandmate Justin Fisher continued to live there, with a variety of other musicians, and many bands rehearsed in the garage that Weezer inaugurated long ago. But all that ended on this day when the landlord decided to completely remodel the interior of the house, spelling the demise of the garage as we knew it. Justin put out word online and a lot of Weezer fans made the trek to the previously secret location to party it up and get pieces of the old carpets that lined the garage's walls and are seen inside the Blue Album and in the SIAS video.
"…everything was in its right place compared to the "Say It Ain't So" video except for the tangerine colored walls in the kitchen and living room. In the video, the directors made the garage seem much much larger than it was. The washing and drying machines are in its same place, and the carpet keeping the sound in was well kept. Before I arrived I knew they were busting out with Weezer songs, but when i arrived a friend of mine by the name of Sam Davis was rocking out…" -Linda
"…after the Weezer covers died down a bit I decided to pick up a square of carpet for 5 bucks but it was worth it, I got the piece right above Matt's bass amp in the Blue Album picture. I was cruzing in the back yard and I think I found something a lot of people passed by, it was the broken lawnmower from the Blue Album promo shoot…" -GAJ (WeezerHawaii)
"…some fans cut pieces of the carpeting in the garage and then boasted on their way out about their new acquisitions. Someone even asked if they could have the shutters to the window that were on the front of the house. Justin politely told them no…" -M
"…and that big green thing? Well I don't know what the deal was with that… but it was funny as hell too…" -Jackie (weezerforalways)
Note: the house at 2226 Amherst Ave is still there and the exterior still looks the same pretty much. It's a one story guest house set back from the street at the end of a long asphalt driveway. The backyard can be viewed from a side alley.

weezer show #30: The Coconut Teaszer, Hollywood
The Coconut Teaszer was one of the 'big 3' Sunset Strip clubs [the other 2 being the Roxy and the Whiskey] that were the big holdouts of the glam-metal scene of the '80s. It was difficult for a "alternative" band like weezer to break into this scene, and the leather-clad regulars tended to clear out when anyone not dressed in full rock garb hit the stage. And weezer dressed in anything but full rock garb! Teaszer bills were always a bizarre mix of glam bands, bar rock bands, morbid looking gothic type bands, and the ocassional pop type band like weezer.
Back to the Teaszer for the 7th time! By now the band was sick of the place, but tonights show was a special "Rock For Choice" show, intended to somehow encourage people to vote in the upcoming presidential election. Also on the bill were El Magnifico, Sugartooth, Holy Water, and others.
Setlist: unknown, aside from Undone, which was noted as being "good and crazy!" 
there are no [known] photos from this show. flyer design by unknown.

Today in Weezer History: 10/27/1992 - Weezer performs at the Coconut Teaszer in Los Angeles, CA. The Coconut Teaszer was one of the 'big 3' Sunset Strip clubs [the other 2 being the Roxy and the Whiskey] that were the big holdouts of the glam-metal scene of the '80s. It was difficult for a "alternative" band like weezer to break into this scene, and the leather-clad regulars tended to clear out when anyone not dressed in full rock garb hit the stage. Teaszer bills were always a bizarre mix of glam bands, bar rock bands, morbid looking gothic type bands, and the occasional pop type band like weezer, who today were back to the Teaszer for the 7th time... By now the band was sick of the place, but tonights show was a special "Rock For Choice" show, intended to somehow encourage people to vote in the upcoming presidential election. Also on the bill were El Magnifico, Sugartooth, Holy Water, and others. El Magnifico sounded sorta like Janes Addiction but stranger and noisier, and they were friends of Weezers, as the band included Jon Pikus, who engineered Weezer's 3rd (but first well distributed) demo tape which was recorded around this time. Also in the band was Johnny Lonely, who pioneered the "crazy bald pirate with gaged out earlobes and a huge goatee" look before Nick Oliveri from Kyuss/QOTSA did. He was also about as nuts as Nick on stage. Setlist: unknown, aside from Undone, which was noted in Karl's journal as being "good and crazy!" Flyer artist unknown, but probably a member of El Mag, as evidenced by the "weezer rocks" slipped into the bottom line of text.

Today in Weezer History: 10/28/1994 - Weezer plays 2 shows in one day, barely making it to the second one in time. Today Weezer was in the middle of their 3 month tour opening for Live, but their new single "Buddy Holly" was starting to catch fire at KROQ Los Angeles (when its video exploded on Mtv in another month's time, many more stations would be playing it), and so KROQ set up a promotional "in-store", that was set up outdoors of the Blockbuster Music store in Cerritos, CA. (Blockbuster Video, now pretty much gone, was once so big that they started to open music stores too). But this in-store was the afternoon of the same day as the show with Live, which was happening 90 minutes (in good traffic) down the I-5 at the UCSD Price Center in San Diego that night. Factoring in the long lines for autographs after the nearly shut down chaotic performance, and naturally awful traffic on the I-5, and we just barely made it to SD in time to throw the gear on stage and play there too. Pix include stills from the low quality fragmentary bootleg video thats been on Youtube for years, that features random inexplicable editing and commetary by the filmers. (youtube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvMfduIYq7M ), and 3 photos from the autograph signing by an unknown fan.

Today in Weezer History: 10/29/2005 - First post Foozer show, in Fresno CA. Fresno, Selland Arena, Make Believe Tour: today was the first show after the Foozer Tour ended, So it was Weezer taking the stage as the sole headliner, with Hot Hot Heat opening. Despite it being a smaller crowd than at the Foozer shows, "...the crowd went crazy. There was more crowdsurfing at this show than at most of the Foozer Tour!" Also, the band played "Are Friends Electric?", a Gary Numan cover for the first time at this show. Not many in the audience seemed familiar with this somewhat obscure nu-wave track, but it sounded great. A fan wrote: "...My impression watching Rivers tonight was that he finally came to a point in which he realized how much he loved what he was doing. From dancing around like fools to the whole band just soaking up the love it just appeared that the band had come full circle to the music that brought them and the world great joy." ---Paul D.

Posted on Weezer's official Facebook page as part of the "Today in Weezer history" series on October 30, 2013.
Today in Weezer History: 10/30/2000 - Weezer records a demo of "Everybody Go Away" in Rivers' garage in Los Angeles. Today was one of many days in 2000 spent woodshedding up in the Hollywood Hills at Rivers' house, where he had his garage secretly converted into a recording and rehearsal space (secretly as it went against the local building code). Many demos were recorded there in the months leading up to the Green Album sessions that started in December with Ric Ocasek over at nearby Cello Studios. Today the guys recorded "Everybody Go Away", but the song soon fell out of rotation for some reason and was never even considered for Green. Many years later, Weezer was asked to be on a special compilation CD that Guitar Center was putting out, the 4th in their "Fresh Cuts" series. This demo was dusted off and submitted. The CD featured songs recorded by Guitar Center employees across the country, and that included Weezer's original pre-Blue guitarist Jason Cropper, who worked in the pro department of the West L.A. Guitar Center at the time. Jason had gone on to release music on his own after leaving weezer as "Chopper One". However, this track, "She’d Be Good For Me" was credited to Jason only. This marked the first time Jason and Weezer had appeared on the same release as separate artists. Note - photo is unconfirmed to be from 10/30/00, but is within a few days if not (and every day looked the same in that garage).

Today in Weezer History: 10/31/2009 - Weezer concert in New York, NY at the Hammerstein Ballroom. This show was one of the more unusual shows for Weezer because they came out in their "All My Friends Are Insects" bug costumes from their recent taping of the "Yo Gabba Gabba!" show. Later, during "Undone", audience members were invited onstage to help them get out of the costumes as they played. Also there were some guests onstage during "I Want You To", Leighton Meester on duet vocals, and Nat Wolff from The Naked Brothers Band helped out on guitar. This show marked the end of a wild Weezer week in NYC, with Weezer playing The Hard Rock for SiriusXM, a secret show for iHeartRadio, Dave Letterman, an Alloy/Teen.com acoustic set at a performing arts school in Soho, and a taping of the Alexa Chung show.

fan account ventura show
Review of 11/1/96 show in Ventura, CA:
I arrived at this show at around noon and because my friends weren't as weezer fanatical at the time as I was, they decided to just drop me off and come back later. Unfortunately, I wasn't really familiar with Superdrag at the time and didn't realize Brendan (former guitarist) had walked by me several times. When they played their set later I was disappointed in myself.
Finally another fan arrived at about 2:30 p.m. and a little later Rivers got off the tour bus. He went over to look at the upcoming bands' posters outside the venue and seemed pretty amused by a "22 Jacks" poster(probably due to it's Jason Cropper affiliation). Rivers was surprisingly (okay..very surprisingly) pretty talkative and chatted with me and the other fan for about 15 minutes about 22 Jacks, Pinkerton, and Las Vegas(that's where I had traveled from for the show).
Superdrag was really good live, especially since Tom was still in the band at the time.
Weezer's set was Pinkerton filled but not as good as either of the other 2 shows I saw in fall/winter of 96. Matt was in a bad mood at the time and didn't do any of his normal stage antics. He missed quite a few of his vocals and sometimes wasn't even playing his bass parts. He spent a lot of time with his back to the crowd near his amp. That was pretty disappointing considering he was one of the best parts about seeing =w= shows. The music was still amazing, of course. Well, I've rambled on long enough.

Today in Weezer History: 11/02/1996 - Weezer plays at The Fillmore in San Francisco. The of Fall 1996 was a chaotic time, with shows ranging from incredible to somewhat messy. Tensions brewing in the band over various issues were yet to be settled, and the album and its singles' poor performance (at the time) were exacerbating things. That said, most fan accounts of the shows of this period were extremely positive. This show was opened by Knoxville's great band Superdrag, who kicked ass nightly. Very few photos exist from this tour, but one from the sidewalk scene after the band played this night exists, of Rivers mugging with some stoked fans. Of note is the band's then manager, Pat Magnarella, partly visible on the left. As they always did, the Fillmore made a cool poster for this show.

Today in Weezer History: 11/03/1996 - Weezer performs in Visalia, CA at the Visalia Convention Center on the . Superdrag opened this show, supporting their debut album "Regretfully Yours". Weezer had actually been to Visalia twice before, playing the bar/club "Cody's" in May and August 1994 before almost anyone had heard of them. They got the shows there because their A&R man Todd Sullivan's brother lived there and set it up. Fast forward to 1996 and the kids who had been to those shows at Cody's had told a LOT of their friends, enough to pack the Convention Center. Karl remembers this show because it was the only show he got electrocuted at - while trying to repair Brian's "Tophat' amplifier during the soundcheck, he touched something he shouldn't have with a screwdriver (the amp was plugged in for some bad reason) and was send flying up onto the drum riser, about 8 feet away. No one realized just why he just leaped through the air like that till it was explained, and Karl didn't even realize how far he flew till he got up. No lasting injuries though (maybe mental? Yeah, mental, definitely). No known photos, but the setlist survives.

Today in Weezer History: 11/04/1994 - Weezer unable to play, Live tour, Seattle. Today in 1994 Rivers woke up on the bus ride from Portland deathly ill and we were forced to cancel our opening gig for Live that night up in Seattle. There are no photos of the show of course. but Karl does remember it being dark rainy and cold outside the Moore Theater. And we were in the middle of our assignment from SPIN magazine to shoot Polaroid photos for an article Rivers was writing for them. These photos date from around that time, and the faulty film and disturbed manipulations represent well the malaise that was going on in the bus at the time. At the next 2 shows, in Salt Lake and Denver, the other 3 guys came out and did acoustic songs, as the fans wanted something and Live's management threatened to find another opener. By Kansas City, Rivers got his health and voice back, fortunately.

11/05/1992 - Weezer works on their third demo tape. This was the second of a 2 day session at a garage studio in Hollywood, a few blocks off of La Brea and Olympic Blvd in a residential area. Jon Pikus (misspelled "Pickus" on the tape) of the band El Magnifico (and later the Campfire Girls and a Interscope A+R guy) was a fledgling engineer and offered to record Weezer's 3rd demo tape in a garage studio of an aquaintance of his who was convieniently out of town. Normally Jon would not have been allowed to use the studio, nor let in Weezer and Karl to work in it for free! But rules were broken, as the other residents of the shared house looked the other way (away from the backyard and the garage) and pretended not to hear the racket. The band had done demo tapes twice before, a 3 song tape in the speing of '92, and "The Kitchen Tapes" which were originally intended as an indie album but parts of which ended up being used for a second demo.
This tape had 4 songs: No One Else, The World Has Turned, Say It Ain't So, and Undone. Surf Wax was also attempted but wasn't considered as good a recording, and made it onto the B-side of some cassettes - for friends only. Undone features samples by Karl off of vinyl LPs, from Star Wars, The Hobbit, etc. 
The tape was considered good enough to really try and shop around to labels. 3 printings of it were made at a place called Quality Clones in Hollywood, the labels were blue, then green, then yellow. There were about 100 made of each. Surf Wax was only put on a few of the 'blue' ones. These tapes are extremely hard to locate today, but the audio content had been bootlegged on mp3 for years - audio quality levels vary wildly however.

shorecrest high school gig
lucky guy ladd martin won the local seattle area contest to have weezer play an acoustic set in the winner's school cafeteria. in this particular case it was shorecrest high school.
this unplugged set produced two cuts which later made an appearance on the much delayed "good life" [oz edition only] cd single. high school kids love it when rock stars come to their school and sing songs about lesbians [why we dont know!].
the set list for shorecrest went as follows:
undone
no one else
good life
el scorcho
pink triangle
buddy holly
for acoustic sets the band takes a little different playing format. generally there are 3 acoustic guitars, rivers playing solos and rhythms, brian and pat playing rhythms, and matt singing backup.

Today in Weezer History: 11/06/1996 - Weezer performs an acoustic set in Seattle, WA at the Shorecrest High School cafeteria. This show was part of a contest held by KNDD 107.7 The End, where high school kids could win a Weezer performance at their high school. Ladd Martin of Shorecrest High won, and got to introduce the guys on stage. The acoustic show was broadcast live on 107.7, and later, recordings of "The Good Life" and "Pink Triangle" appeared as B-Sides on The Good Life OZ EP, and the acoustic "Pink Triangle" also was on the Pink Triangle radio promo CD single. Years later a well shot videotape of the performance that was never intended for public use ended up on YouTube where it remains today.
Setlist:
# Undone
# No One Else
# The Good Life
# El Scorcho
# Pink Triangle
# Buddy Holly
This photo originally appeared (in black and white) in the Weezer Fan Club's Weezine, and was shot by Carli Allan, who with her sister Mykel ran the original Weezer fan club until their untimely deaths in a car accident in 1997. It has never been published in color until now. Later that same day, the band did a regular show in at Seattle's DV8 club.

weezer show #31: 5092 Club, Huntington Beach, CA
The 5092 club looked like a flashy dance disco type 80's club that was trying to reinvent itself for rock bands. Weezer was booked with several other unknown bands, and the show was fairly uneventful, save for the live debut of "Surf Wax America", which they had just tried recording for their 3rd demo tape a few days earlier.
Setlist: [partial]
surf wax america
my name is jonas
only in dreams
[rest of set unknown]
The show was partially bootlegged by karl with a cheap handheld recorder. Also taped was incomplete versions of "the world has turned" and "No One Else", performed at soundcheck.
there are no [known] photos from this show.
