cancelled show
On this day a show was planned for the Whiskey. The Muffs, who had been recently signed to Warner Brothers [?], were coming to play what was rumored to be a major show. Of course, every band in town tried to get on the bill, weezer included. The bill looked very cool when the dust settled, with weezer to be joined by both That Dog and Magpie [who contained future Rentals Rod Cervera and Cherilynn Westrich]. Then, almost at the last minute, the Muffs pulled out and the Whiskey swapped the whole show over to a completely different line-up. So it goes. This would have been the first meeting of weezer and That Dog, however they fortunately would meet the very next day on 2/20 at the Music Machine.

weezer show #41: The Music Machine, West L.A.
The Music Machine was a dying club on Pico Blvd out in West L.A., and didnt survive long beyond this show. The show was very significant in that it was the first meeting of weezer and That Dog, 2 bands who would both go on to be signed by Geffen this year, and do numerous shows together up through 1997.
Also on the bill were Wink and 99.
Everyone came out for this show, because the buzz was crazy on that dog - just who were these angelic young ladies who had barely played a show yet were already attracting label interest? Everyone wanted to see what they were all about, and after this show, everyone wanted to either sign them, befriend them and/or marry them. It was that amazing of an experience. Then weezer took the stage and rocked out a tip top show themselves. The stars lined up on this day!

weezer show #42: acoustic set at Molly Malones, L.A.
...this was the 42nd weezer show, and the 7th of weezer's early acoustic sets. Molly Malones is an Irish pub style bar located on Fairfax in L.A., where live music is often on the bill. This was a raucous night in general, with bands and patrons mixing it up in Irish Pub revelry. Pat Wilson recalls: "After the set we're hanging out at the bar just being stupid. That was the first time I was ever aware that it was *us* who was being the "jerks" in the situation. You know how when theres a bunch of loudmouths sort of getting on everyone's nerves? Well i could suddenly tell - we were "those guys" that night."

weezer show #43: Al's Bar, downtown L.A.
Al's bar is a legendary punk bar/club located in a weird part of downtown L.A., where a lot of cool bands cut their teeth. Its intimidating "no b.s." atmosphere was a good inspiration for weezer to step things up a notch.
Also on the bill were Walt Mink and Popdefect. Walt Mink were an excellent band on Caroline Records, who went on to make 5 great albums. And Popdefect were just outta control!

i want sugar in my tea....
the good life single was relased as the 2nd from weezer's second album, pinkerton. the song was written based on rivers experience over a winter at school in boston. "the good life" is all about how the singer is tired of being a hermit bum that wants to rock out and get friendly with the ladies once again. the single itself was delayed a few times for reasons unknown. initially, a 3 song cd single was released only in japan. the single contained "the good life", "waiting on you", and a duet with rachel haden (formerly of that dog.) on "i just threw out the love of my dreams". the single insert contains "the good life" lyrics printed in japanese on the inside cover, along with an outside yellow paper insert explaining the product in japanese.
a few months later the more familiar "the good life oz ep" was released. this cd single contained the 3 tracks mentioned above, in addition to pink triangle (acoustic) and "the good life" (acoustic) from the shorecrest high school show .
both singles contain the same interesting artwork. the cover photograph was taken at the first pinkerton era tour show, at the tower records show in los angeles. the inset cover is an xray of the leg bone that rivers had surgery on.

weezer show #45: Rhino Records in store, Santa Monica, CA
This was a full electric in-store performance inside the Rhino Records location [since closed] on Santa Monica Blvd. in Santa Monica. For this show, Rhino encouraged the band to bring in a window banner to advertise. Karl was tasked with creating a banner on the only bedsheet that could be located, which happened to be plaid. This was hung in the window of the store for several days before the show. The sound was great, the crowd was small, the pizza was free, and the homeless guys enjoyed the rock, and the pizza!
setlist: unknown.

pre-show nonsense
the countdown to the first weezer show was on. The band was practicing whenever possible, but were renting rooms by the hour in hollywood, while Rivers Matt and Justin Fisher [now of Psoma and Nerf Herder] searched for a house to rent with a garage to practice in. Soon they would stumble upon 2226 Amherst, whose garage was transformed into what became known as "The" Garage. As in "In the Garage". 
3-10-92: Clowning in the apartment of P. Finn, K. Koch, and T. Hasegawa, who along with Finn was Rivers's karate school companion. Here he pretends to behead Rivers. This apt., located at 1443 N. Fuller in Hollywood, was in a huge building, and there were many rock
neighbors, including bands Wax and White Zombie. Pat Wilson also lived both next door and in this apt in '92 and '93. Darrin Pfiefer of Goldfinger also lived in this apt. in late '92, as did original weezer guitar player Jason Cropper for a while.

hard rock casino
finally back stateside after rocking many a european country to oblivion, weezer helped break in the brand spanking new hard rock casino in las vegas, which was also their first show in the us since december of 1994. the band opened with "the world has turned and left me here," and closed off their two song set with "my name is jonas."
the maniacal weezer fan may have noticed brian wearing glasses during this show, and wonder to themselves "why?" well, in an attempt to try out a new look for himself, young brian shaved off his eyebrows. the european press published many critical articles regarding this fashion boo-boo, so brian took to wearing eye glasses until the eyebrows in question began to grow back in.

weezer show #46: Bogarts, Long Beach, CA
Somehow, via a developing friendship with Steve Soto of Joyride, weezer scored this gig opening for a reunion of Steve's previous band, the legendery OC punkers The Adolescents. Unfortunately, the club was chock full of drunk, aging punkers who only wanted to see the Adolescents, and got increasingly violent as the night went on.
By this time, weezer had gained enough noteriety around L.A. to be having label people come out and check out their shows. Tonight the band had convinced a guy who worked for Mercury Records named Mike Sitkas to see the show. Mike passed on weezer, in favor of a band called Greta. The joke becake "well, i guess Mike thinks that Greta is betta". Hmmm. Hmm?

Wolverton snowshoe adventure
...not a music event but a strange and challenging adventure involving many weez-related folks. On 3/17, Rivers, Pat Finn, Jason Cropper, Karl and John Drenning (then a roommate of karl and pat finns) drove up to the Wolverton trail head in Kings Canyon National Park, armed with camping gear and snowshoes rented from karl and finn's workplace, REI in Carson, CA. Everyone hiked upwards on 20-30 feet of hard compressed snowpack through beautiful wilderness. After about 6 hours of struggle and hiking up steep snow terrain, camp was set up on a ridge with fantastic views. Later that night Justin Fisher (now of Psoma) joined the group, following their tracks thru the snow with a small flashlight he held in his mouth, whilst x-country skiing steep uphill trails. Justin saw that everyone was freezing their asses off and suggested a (forbidden by park law) campfire. Downed tree limbs were gathered and a roaring campfire ensued, which eventually melted down into the snow, creating a 10' deep snow pit by morning.
3/18: random adventuring followed by descent into the Congress Group giant sequoia forest for a breathtaking afternoon snow hike back to the trailhead and the cars. Stop for dinner at the biker-overrun "Three Rivers Cafe" in Three Rivers, CA. (temporarily Four Rivers, ha ha.) 
...L to R: Park brochure; Pat Finn, Karl and Rivers in camping mode; Finn and Rivers; the trail map showing the hike's route from the parking area, up Long Meadow, and straight up to a ridge overlooking the Congress Group...

homie surfaces
stemming from the rivers cuomo band shows in boston [which, much to rivers' chagrin, most people refer to as the rivers solo shows] and the soundtrack to the disney movie "meet the deedles," homie was formed to contribute to the soundtrack. 
homie consisted of:
rivers cuomo --vocals, acoustic guitar, piano, lyrics, and melody
yuval gabay [soul coughing] --drum loops
matt sharp --background vocals
sebastian steinburg [soul coughing]-- upright bass
pat wilson --miscellaneous
greg brown [cake] --electric guitar
brian bell and adam orth [ex-shufflepuck] have been credited but their participation is unknown.
people who attended the boston shows or somehow heard the songs through some other means, know that american girls was played at at least one of the shows. this earlier version of the song was a very up-tempo rocking song. when the "deedles" version was released, most were surprised to find that it was a much slower, yet energetic song.

weezer show #48: Club Dump [The Central], Hollywood 
Club Dump was held Thursday nights at the Central, a Sunset Strip club in Hollywood that much later was bought, re-modeled, and reopened as the Viper Room. Way back then it was anything but glamorous, in fact it was pretty skanky! But it was one of the very few clubs that had a booking policy that made any sense, and who actually sort of catered to non-glam/metal bands. The club was run by a curious guy whose name was Yowsah! [including the "!"]. Yowsah! used to be roomates with some members of Wax, and he was originally from Hawaii. He led a sort of dirgy punk band called "Methadone Cocktail", and part of playing his Club Dump shows was often sharing the bill with his band.
Club Dump had a video camera operator who would take overly special effected videos of bands shows, if bands ponied up $10 for the tape. Weezer almost always went for the deal....but not this time, for unknown reasons. [possibly no one had $10 to their name!]
setlist: unknown.
Also on the bill was El Magnifico, other acts unknown. Journal entry says : "Great energy! Best Dump show [yet], [but] "Dump"-y sound."
This show is almost certainly the first weezer show that then-DGC A&R man Todd Sullivan saw. Based on the bands 11/92 demo tape (that he had only come across spring '93) and this performance, Todd became interested enough in the band to eventually push for their signing to DGC.

10 years after huey lewis, weezer has finally made it hip to be square.
with underestimated guitar virtuosity, a unique sense of melody and an inordinate amount of star wars trivia, weezer is liberating geeks world-wide from years of social imprisonment. weezerheads. apparently the new york city chapter was having their prom at roseland.
the band's bargain basement "flying w" logo (the first homage to van halen of the evening) hung above the bare stage. a packed house of horseshacks, linus', radar o'reily's and potsies stood, crammed shoulder to shoulder, anxiously awaiting weezer's arrival. suddenly the house lights dimmed, the band's ge soft white logo lit up and...what came blaring from the pa? "undone?" "buddy holly?" nope. the theme from the a-team. yeah, i know. that would have been my next guess, too.
amidst all the fanfare, the band burst on stage, running in place, with their arms flailing above their heads. i didn't know whether they were there to play or to box apollo creed. but, as soon as the first distorted chords ripped from rivers cuomo's eddie van halen-striped guitar (the second homage of the evening), weezer was off and running.
well, years of learning kiss' "love gun" album note for note has finally paid off, 'cause weezer can play. in a musical world seething with lackluster ability, weezer shines. they easily match the raw energy of their self-titled debut album and go way beyond. as a self-appointed "ex-shredder," you can just hear the caged guitar god trapped inside an indifferent rivers cuomo.
speeding through high intensity versions of "no one else," "the world has turned and left me here," and "say it ain't so," the band seemed unaffected by their marathon tour schedule. bassist matt sharp seemed to lighten up his boredom with "undone - the sweater song)" by mumbling obscenities throughout. a brand new song called "getchoo" was so well received that everyone was singing along by the end of it.
the hyper-active crowd was a bit on the young side--i would say their ages ranged from college freshman to a few days older than a fetus. but whether you were the sons and daughters doing the "pogo" up front or their parents hanging out in the back (trying not to cramp their kids' style), everyone was having a great time. i caught a couple of moms and dads getting down with their bad selves throughout the night.
weezer is all about cheese. one must understand that to maximize the whole "weezer experience." weezer is about striking stupid rock star poses and loving it, 100 watt light shows, and battle star galactica. they're about albums you hate to admit you bought and having a good time at no one's expense but your own. how does that quote go? "...and the geeks shall inherit the \earth." whatever.

weezer show #49: Molly Malones, West Hollywood
Molly Malone's was (and remains) a traditional Irish pub bar on Fairfax Avenue in L.A., and its tiny stage has featured a ton of singer songwriters and bands over the years. This show was the bands 8th early acoustic show. Pat recalls playing the set with only a hi-hat cymbal set-up.
Weezer was opening for a singer songwriter who was being called the next big thing, and he was in fact very talented. The show was attended by Ivo, the head of 4AD Records, and weezer's acoustic set was considered a sort of label showcase. Also attended by band buddy John Drenning.
Unfortunately, Ivo wasn't into the weez, and focused on the much hyped next act. Weezer took to acting silly at the bar, inviting the glares of patrons who were focusing on the singer songwriter guy's performance. Patrick Wilson recalls "you know 'that guy' who's acting like a jerk and getting on everyone's nerves. I realized, for the first time in my life, that "that guy" was us, weezer at the bar, at that moment. We didnt like being discounted by Ivo and so we got rowdy. It was the first time I was self-aware that I was havng that effect."
setlist: unknown.
Other acts on the bill unknown. Setlist unknown, but journal entry says: "[they played] ALL the songs. Cool "Only In Dreams" fade into "The World Has Turned" segue."

show #2: "No Bozo Jam" night, The Whisky A-Go-Go, Hollywood
...this was weezer's second show. Hollywood's Whiskey A Go-Go club, famous launching pad to the Doors, Guns N Roses, etc, held a weekly "no-bozo" night. The deal was thus: Very cheap [free?] admission for the crowd, with lots of new bands playing 4 song sets all night. The no-bozo thing meant that there'd be no chance of getting stuck with a crappy band for more than 4 songs. It was sort of a battle of the bands without prizes, and a way for a band to showcase themselves by getting as many of their own fans to show up for their set [...and then have their little flock of fans leave to demonstrate how "good" that band was, and how "bad" the next act was...] As rediculous as this was, it was actually a preferable scene to the norm, which was 'pay to play', where bands had to purchase their own tickets in advance and then try to sell enough before the show, hopefully making a profit...which was nearly impossible. Did I mention this was born out of the late 80's Sunset Strip Glam-Metal scene? Anyway, weezer signed up for a few of these early on, and the "No Bozo Jam" was history within 18 months.
The set for this show was:
undone
i cant forget the way
the world has turned
the biggest animal
This show was 'bootlegged' by Karl, who used a cheap handheld voice recorder to capture the show.

brave new world
san francisco, ca - 3/1/94
the place was the brave new world, a funky tiny club in the haight-ashbury district (the haven for hippies in the '60s). weezer was to play a show the night before but their van (an old 15 passenger dodge prospector model) broke down in the tehachapis north of los angeles and the repair cost them both money and such a delay that they had to cancel the show that night. but, they agreed to play the next night (april 1st instead). the front of the brave new world was almost completely dominated by older african american men playing cards. they were obviously the "regulars". the back room was set up for bands with a tiny dance floor in front of the stage. the first band to play that night was the abraham lincoln story, a swing-ska band with lots of instruments and lots of members (thank goodness). maybe a "crowd" of 12-15 people total were there. this was several weeks before ol' blue was released and weezer was really only known to their smallish cult following in la. the show absolutely rocked! i knew right then that they would make it big if only their album got the exposure it deserved when it was released. the response from the club owner was to keep the volume level down as it was disturbing the customers in the front bar area. i'm not sure that weezer even got paid that night but it was a beginning...

..this was the 3rd weezer show, and the first of what was to become a number of early acoustic sets. There were a number of clubs that specialized in the acoustic/unplugged vibe, and weezer, desperate to get as many gigs as possible in a horribly competitive environment, honed their acoustic jamming skills early on.
The 8121 club [now called the Crooked Bar], is located underneath the Coconut Teaszer club at 8121 Sunset Blvd. in Hollywood.
