weezer show #11: 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. This show was videotaped. Several stills from this are shown below.
setlist:
1.The World Has Turned
2.Lets Sew Our Pants Together
3.Undone
4.Paperface
5. Say It Aint So
6. Only In Dreams
"Undone" had a super long intro, due to Rivers' amp blowing up. After securing the permission to use another bands amp he returned to the stage and the intro riff had been going for several minutes. He said "This riff doesnt get old, does it?" Jason replied "Now you have to play through a Carvin! ha ha ha!"
This show was the first weezer show that was attended by the wonderful Mykel and Carli Allan, who went on to be the original Weezer Fanclub's presidents.
also on the bill were Wayne, Loungefly, and 12 And Counting.

a special gift
This day marked one year from the time Mykel and Carli had watched their first weezer show and thenceforth attended nearly every show they could. In that year they had witnessed a good but very rough around the edges band work like dogs, get a lot better, and get rewarded with a record contract. To celebrate, they baked the band a cake and brownies and suprised the guys with a very special (and funny) gift: A replica set of the Magical Talismans form the KISS movie "KISS Meets The Phantom Of The Park", a rather rediculous 1978 film depicting the rock band KISS in an adventure as "space gods with the ability to fly and shoot animation out of their eyes".
The box and talismans were meticulously constructed to look as much like the originals as could be made out from VHS still frames on the girls' TV. The whole thing was prepared in secret and presented to the guys suprise-style at the Amherst House. Inside the box, the girls had attatched a special 'parchment' with quotes from the KISS film.
Melissa: "Unreal! I heard about your talisman but I didn't think that they really existed!"
Gene: "There is a cosmic forcefield that protects out talisman."
Melissa: "Cosmic! And if you didn't have them?"
Paul: "Without them, no powers..."
Peter: "We're just ordinary human beings."
Gene: "Not quite ordinary."
Melissa: "Too bad everybody doesn't have a talisman."
Paul: "But they do., they just haven't discovered it yet."
[message from M+C]: "These talismans are to guard you against all evil on your road to rock-stardom. When you get frustrated or misunderstood, look to the talisman for guidance and super-powers. You Rock! We love you!"
...4 views of the M+C talisman box, still frame from the film that inspired it..

Weezer Memories Dispatch #4:
Here's a photo collage of a series of pictures I snapped from the front left corner of the massive Sonisphere stage in Knebworth, England, on July 9th, 2011. I used to sometimes stitch photos together like this back in the Green and Maladroit eras of weezer.com, but for some reason haven't done it in a long time. its hard to comprehend the sheer quantity of people in the crowd at some of these festivals, even from the stage! This picture is a nice way of taking it all in... -karl

say it aint so single released
the "say it ain't so" single hit full bloom during the summer of 1995. with moderate radio play, a consumer single was released in the uk and contained 3 previoulsy unreleased recordings. the first was the "say it ain't so (remix)". this remix (done because the band felt the lp version was a little stiff) is barely noticeable from the lp version. the drum track was simply tweaked a little and slight vocal alterations were made to fit with the rest of the song better. "no one else" and "jamie" (both acoustic) both come from the cat's paw studio acoustic session.
the cover art is a drawing from rivers childhood, and the interior fireplace picture was taken at one of the bands parent's house. the uk single also came with a "free colour sticker" as seen above and on t-shirts.

rehearsals for The Blue Album begin
...The Blue Album started as several weeks of rehearsals at Cole Rehearsals in Hollywood, CA. The band moved in what gear they had, and utilizing their new equipment budget from Geffen Records, went on a sporadic, mostly carefully planned buying spree that would last into the fall. Every day there would be forays for gear around L.A., followed by extensive vocal rehearsals and singing lessons, including extensive barbershop quartet action. (the 4th quartet part was alternately taken by either Pat or Karl, depending on when Pat arrived for rehearsals.) Rivers had had a lot of vocal training in high school and community college, training that he had basically ignored while weezer was forming, choosing to try and find a rougher voice for a while. By this point however, that idea had been dropped in favor of a much more natural singing tone, and while Rivers honed that, Jason and Matt worked very hard at improving their range, tonality and pitch, as neither had sung before with any formal training.
Around late afternoon each day the vocal work was finished and the band would launch into many hours of amplified rehearsal, striving to tighten their performances and weed out songs that didnt feel right for the album. Even at this stage, they already had it down to about 15 possible tracks.
The other thing that happened around this point was that jobs were being quit left and right, under the assumption that the band would be very busy recording and touring from that point on.

Brian's Jerkwater plays a show
...Brian Bell was not yet in Weezer (he would be asked to join in September while the band was in NYC doing The Blue Album), but he was no longer in Carnival Art either at this point. He was doing shows as "Space Twins" with his girlfriend at the time, and decided to form yet another band called Jerkwater in '93, after walking away from an increasingly disjointed Carnival Art, who broke up not long after Brian's departure.
Jerkwater wasn't terribly different than the Space Twins, but was a 'full rock band' with echoes of Brian's Tennessee roots mixed in. There are apparently no recordings of the band, which was very short lived.
This show was at Al's Bar in Downtown L.A., and also featured the band Lutefisk, who would later play shows with weezer in L.A. and Phoenix. It is unclear which members of weezer attended, if any. (Most likely Matt and Rivers, if anyone.) The existance of the flyer in karl's collection confirms that Brian and weezer were at least in some sort of regular contact by summer '93. 
...flyer, possibly designed by Brian...

show #12: acoustic set at 8121 club, Hollywood
...this was the 12th weezer show, and the 4th of weezer's early acoustic sets. The 8121 club [now called the Crooked Bar], is located underneath the Coconut Teaszer club at 8121 Sunset Blvd. in Hollywood.
The set for this show was: 
lets sew our pants together
undone
my name is jonas
paperface
say it aint so
only in dreams
Been Gi (this old 60 Wrong Sausages song was performed as a "reunion" : Pat Finn came up to relieve Matt on guest bass and back-up vocals, so this was the exact S.W.S. line up of '91. Rivers: "were gonna apologize in advance for this...")
This show was 'bootlegged' by Karl, who used a cheap handheld voice recorder to capture the show. Also taped was a brief post show interview:
K: comments, queries, questions?
R: Hey guys!
K: But how truly can these things be understood in todays modern age?
P: certainly there are a myriad of explanations for a...a myriad of consequences! That we must all be held accountable for!
K: nudists, a new question has arisen: nudists. nudists?
R: Been Gi shall rise!
K: Takashi will see it so!

fan report
Review of the 7/19/00 show in Las Vegas:
It was a really hot day (110 approx.) so it wasn't too fun to wait. But my friend and I did get to talk with Mikey for a little bit. He was nice and took pictures with us. He liked my friend's shirt so he decided that he wanted to trade her for it. He went inside and got one of the red =w= cartoon figure shirts and signed it and traded with her. It was kinda amusing. Pat also said hi. Rivers was pretty anti-social at this show. He was basically running to get away from fans. Also, contrary to what I've heard about Rivers and not smoking cigarettes, he was smoking on the day of this show (Marlboro lights for anyone who's interested).
The show was plagued by some sound problems and the stage was rather old. Karl was worried about fans being too rowdy and ruining the sound. He came out before the Weezer set and told everyone to jump straight up and down instead of jumping all around, because this could cripple the sound system. There were no sound problems during the set, however. I believe this was the first appearance of Ev'ry Nite, with the exception of soundchecks. They also played an early version of Too Late to Try. Brian wasn't even sure of all of the words to it yet, and had a piece of paper with the lyrics to the song by his feet. That's about all of interest that I can remember about this show.

Blue Album rehearsals continue
On this day the band started going to a vocal coach for a daily appointment in the early afternoon, to work on singing technique and voice training. After that it was on to their usual full band rehearsal at Cole in the late afternoon-evening. this daily schedule would continue through 7/31.
Shown here is a surviving 'cheat sheet' of Buddy Holly lyrics, written by Matt who was working on the rather complex task of playing the bassline in that section of the song while trying to remember the lyrics to sing the backups.
Note that the footage in the Weezer DVD's "19naughty3" segment that shows the band doing vocal excersizes with a casio keyboard were filmed around this time, at Cole Rehearsals in Hollywood.

cincinatti, ohio - bogarts
7/24/95 cincinatti, ohio- bogarts
my first weezer concert in which i and three other friends piled into a van and headed on down to bogarts in cincinnati to catch weezer headline with teenage fan club and that dog opening up for them.
the club was packed. it was middle of summer and everyone was packed in like sardines. you could hardly breathe. that dog opened and everyone rawked out. they threw three little thingies of lip gloss into the crowd. teenage fan club came out and everyone lay down and took a nap while they played. 
then there was about a 40 minute gap between teenage fan club and weezer and everyone was going crazy. people started pushing where there was no room to push. people were fainting left and right. then Weezer appeared on stage amidst the battlestar galactica theme and a blinding white light. rivers stood like a wounded god. he stood motionless as his guitar was gently handed to him. a small yamaha keyboard sat in easy reach next to him. they played almost the entire blue album, jamie, and getchoo. only in dreams was incredible live. during the third song, a crowd surfer fell on my head. a bunch of girls were crowd surfing. one came near me and instead of letting her fall on me, i reached up and supported her. a guy next to me said "ha ha, i saw you go for her boob". the show was over and we all went home happy.

weezer show #13: 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. This was another club that the bands 5/25 demo tape helped break them into.
Back to the Teaszer for a second time...'whatever worked' was the attitude, though no one had any idea if it was actually working.
This was a multi act bill, but apparently only psychedelic rockers Trancendental Hayride were deemed worthy of being put on the flyers.
Setlist:
1. undone [Rivers went bananas and broke his guitar strap, inspiring #2:]
2. theme from 'Deliverance' [as Rivers repairs his strap]
3. Theif, Youve Taken All That Was Me
4. The World Has Turned
5. Lets Sew Our Pants Together
6. Jonas
7. Say It Aint So
8. Paperface
9. Only In Dreams
NOTE: The actual setlist from this show survived and is the earliest known surviving original weezer setlist. However, it is not accurate to the actual set they played! This is very likely due to the guitar strap disaster early in the set that got the works all gummed up. It looks like they decided to skip a song, but then squeezed everything in except for the planned "encore". Since the encore was axed, the song that was sacrificed in the set was "Conversationalist", which was actually a modified cover version of Wax's "So Much Talk", which weezer had been fooling around with in rehearsal. Not to worry though, they got their chance to play it [for members of Wax even], at their next show on 8/12.
this show was videotaped by Karl, however the audio came out pretty horrendously. 
there are no [known] photos from this show. L: earliest known original setlist M: karl flyer [original art], R: Matt-designed flyer

mt. fuji japan
the mt. fuji festival, was unfortunately cancelled due to incliment weather, which rained out the entire multi-day event.
as a result, the hotel was filled with many a rockstar, so it was most likely quite a crazy scene. when pat was asked what the members of weezer did during their stay, he jokingly replied that him, matt and karl set off fireworks that they bought from a 7-11 behind a trash dumpster.

Weezer Show # 61 - The Roxy, Hollywood, CA
This show was a benefit for Children's Hospital in L.A. that was dubbed "Locopalookaz", a reference to the Lollapalooza festival, due to the large number of L.A. area bands on the bill. The show was actually at both the Whiskey a-Go-Go and the Roxy, with the set times being staggered so people could walk back up and down the block and not miss the bands they wanted to see.
The setlist for this show is unknown aside from that the new songs "In the Garage" and "Buddy Holly" were both played live for the first time ever.
For in the Garage, Rivers debuted stage use of the harmonica (see photo), something that was used in 'Garage' and 'Jonas' for the first few months of the band's touring.
This show marked the first weezer show after getting signed, and was last weezer show before going to NYC to record the Blue Album. Therefore, this was the last weezer show that original rythym guitarist Jason Cropper played. The show was heavily attended by industry types including Geffen Records staffers and the bands then-lawyer, Jamie Young.

august 1995 - late show with david letterman & 120 minutes
NYC - august 1995 
as the world domination tour slowly crawled to its end, weezer was asked to make an appearance on the popular "late show with david letterman". the band promoted their 3rd single, by playing "say it ain't so". 
notable points of the show: rivers continued to play hard even in the confines of a metal leg cage. brian played, for what would be one of the last appearances on tv, his vintage red gibson sg (later to be stolen from his car).
pat wore a blue rain jacket to match his bright green hair and his smashing sparkely blue drum kit. dyed black hair matt, made the point to jump around a lot for the kiddies watching at home in their pajamas. 
also that day (presumed to be earlier), matt and pat made a trip over to the mtv studios in new york. this was =w='s 2nd live appearance on 120 minutes (the first was a performance), this time to "special guest host" the show. feeling especially saucy, matt and pat hosted several new videos by the likes of the john spencer blues explosion, hum, and a live performance by the verve.

This was the last day for weezer rehearsing for the album at Cole Rehearsals in Hollywood. The band's equipment was packed up on this day and picked up by Rock-It Cargo, who transported it to New York City. The band brought all of their usual gear, even though it was possible that theyd be trying out different amps and guitars once they got to NYC (and Ric Ocasek's deep storage closets of vintage gear!)

farewell party
This was weezer's last day before shipping off to NYC to make their first album, so naturally a big party was called for. This took place at the Amherst House (same house where weezer did most of their rehearsing till that point and where they would later return to shoot the Say It Ain't So video in '95). The party was a crazy bash, and included live music from Justin and Adam's then fledgling Shufflepuck in the garage, as well as a lot of damage and chaos done to the house. Late night/early morning party-goers were confused by the completely shattered toilet in the house's only bathroom. See 8/8 report for what happened next.

to NYC!
at 7 AM, Todd Sullivan's assistant Denise showed up at the Amherst House in Geffen Exec Tom Zutaut's Range Rover, to pick up the band and karl to take then to LAX for their flight to New York and weezer's first album recording session. What she found was a house full of sleeping, dirty partygoers, stretched out amongst the upturned wreckage of last nights mega-party, which had wound down less than 2 hours before her arrival. Fortunately the guys had had the foresight to pack their bags before the party, so all that was really required was a few light kicks in the ribs to roust the troops and get the show on the road. Of course, anyone requiring a bathroom pit stop before hopping in the Range Rover was sorely disappointed by the sight of the decimated toilet in the bathroom, but the inexorable tide of relief led those who needed it to the backyard for some hastily improvised pit stop action. By 7:20 we were racing down the 405 freeway, on a collision course with destiny. Or density. or both.
One long sleepy flight later, we were at JFK airport being picked up by a car service, which scooted up thru Brooklyn into Manhattan, where we were dropped off at the venerable Gramercy Park hotel. This would be the band's home for the next 2 months.

The band met up with Ric Ocasek at S.I.R. rehearsal studios on the West side of Manhattan, about a 30 minute walk from the hotel. The plan was to rehearse here for several days to make the final descisions on which songs would be attempted in Electric Lady. This day was used to set up the gear and run through the bands 14 songs several times while Ric listened and made comments.

honolulu, hi
this was the last show of the long, long weezer tour. if i remember correctly, this show was added as kind of a spur of the moment thing, and i'm sure the hawaiian weezer fans were very glad it was.
after the show, the band spent a few days in hawaii basking in the warm sun, recouperating from the long tour. on one of these evenings, they attended the legendary don ho review, where brian was called up onto stage to play a number with the band.
