Weezer Memories Dispatch #5
So last September ('11) we did the Minnesota State Fair. I was supposed to fly in from New York that morning, check in at the hotel, and then join the band (who were arriving seperately from L.A.) that afternoon and head over to the show. As bad luck would have it, it was a bad travel day for me. My flight was delayed and then cancelled altogether due to a broken airplane. After hours of airport hell, I got myself on a later flight on a different airline, but this routed from NY to Atlanta to Minnesota, and landed in Minneapolis about 1 hour before the band was to start playing. It was going to be really tight - thats usually when i am on stage setting up my cameras. But it was my only choice so I took it and crossed my fingers. Crossing my fingers failed. My luggage never made it to Minnesota. I didnt care so much about my clothes, but half of my camera stuff was in the luggage too. Specifically the half that connects all my little video cameras to their places they go on stage - the mounting hardware. Also missing now was the hardware that connects my video camera to my still camera. Without these essential items, and very little time to spare before the show, it was an engineering challenge of MacGyver levels. I had only gaffer tape to work with, borrowed from the guitar techs. I slapped the tape on the little video cameras and just taped them onto mic stands. A few fell off during the show, but I did manage to get some useable footage. The real hard challenge was mounting my main video camera to the still camera, with nothing to do it with. Well, almost nothing - as a "we're sorry" item, Delta provided me with a overnight kit of t-shirt and toiletries. As it was literally all I had except for the contents of my camera case, I decided to look for something useful in it. And thats when I saw the odd perfectly cylindrical little deoderant bottle. Thanks Delta! The pictures can tell the rest of the story...

undone single is released
the undone single was weezer's first ever professional rock music release (yessir a proffesional rock release). the uk single contained the songs: undone-the sweater song, mykel & carli, susanne (1st ver.), and holiday (lp version). the oldest of these songs is undone which was being played as far back as 1992 live, and on studio outakes and such. undone was recorded in the fall of 1993, and the rest of the bsides later that year.
early versions of undone actually contained cartoon character voices in the intro, but copyright problems couldn't be cleared so the conversation (as heard on the lp "weezer") intro was inserted (matt, karl, and mykel talking). the song would have been scrapped had the new intro not been specially handed during the final mixing sessions in october (for full details see weezine #3). the radio edit of undone was shortened in the intro for time purposes, which weezer later argued, so there are wrong edit 3:58 versions, and longer 4:10 versions correct that radio stations later used. the uk also released weezer's first vinyl excurion with an undone 7".
the b-sides for this single were produced in mid-summer 1994. the 2 day session produced a non-cropper version of mykel & carli, the first version of susanne, and a sweet adeline's cover of "my evaline". up to the last pinkerton single, my evaline was pat wilson's second vocal performance on a weezer song (the first being a brief part in"the world has turned and left me here").

mtv music awards - weezer wins awards for "buddy holly" video
"and the winner is...weezer...buddy holly" - dennis rodman
weezer took home 4 awards this night, including the biggie for best alternative video. as you can tell from these video captures, not all the members of the band were there. these 3 guys you probably didn't recognize at the time were karl koch [maybe you did recognize him if you'd been to a show before], pat finn [good friend of the band, the man responsible for the members all hooking up, and all around cool guy] and spike jonze [director of the video]. rivers couldn't make it to the show that evening, and pat didn't feel like dealing with the whole thing.
brian thanks various people who helped with the video as matt flexes for the ladies. after a few seconds, matt cuts in using his "rentals persona"...perhaps using the stage to get the world ready for his band the rentals. in his best eastern european accent, he thanks everyone for their support and tries to get everyone in the crowd to cheer for the great spike jonze. as brian heads away from the microphone, he thanks the fans.

weezer show #22: 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 a 5th time...by now the band was getting used to/getting sick of the place, though they would return 3 more times in the coming months.
Unfortunately no recording was made of this show, which achieved a new plateau in quality forfor the band. They played tighter than ever before, had a better sound, and (after internal debate) debuted "No One Else", a song that started to steer the band in a previously invisible direction. The bands efforts were due in part to a sense of pressure from a perceived "industry presence". Though they had absolutely no interest nor even awareness from any labels at this early point, this was a "a.s.c.a.p.'s best kept secrets" showcase night. ASCAP is one of the major song publishing companies [the other being BMI], and this show was one of a series where supposedly unknown bands who had registered their publishing thru ascap could show their stuff. Weezer hadnt registered anything with anybody, but the idea that there were "ascap people" lurking at the show was in the air. Looking back, it was probably a stretch to think that playing the show could help an unsigned band at all!
note "official" looking flyer to attract "serious" people. many photos for once, unknown photographer.

Today in Weezer history: 9/18/2001: Weezer plays Denver, CO at the Denver Coliseum on the Midget Tour. Not long after 9/11 and shows were getting canceled left and right. This was the 3rd show to actually go on as planned in this tour. A strange and emotional time, and one of Scott's earliest shows with the band.

weezer show #23: Club Lingerie, Hollywood
Club Lingerie was located on Sunset Blvd, a good deal east of the Sunset Strip, more in the center of Hollywood. It was in the rock business for many years before being taken over and is now some sort of gentlemen's club or something. This was the second of several Lingerie shows in the '92-'94 era.
setlist: not known except for that the band played "Conversationalist", their version of Wax's "So Much Talk" on this night, for Wax who were in the audience. Also it was Matt's birthday, so surely post show partying occured. It was noted that this show had a "good draw", likely due to it being a free Monday night show, and that the "sound guy was an idiot". Unfortunatley there are no known pictures, flyers or other info about this show!

Today in weezer history: 9/21/01: on this day in 2001, weezer played their biggest show to date to 13,000 fans at Chicago's United Center. It was a glorious show except for the fact that the opening act Cold quit the tour half way thru their set, apparently unable to deal with some fans "flipping them the bird". Also on 9/21/2005, weezer played Mexico City for the first time ever, at the Palacio de los Deportes.

pinkerton is born
pinkerton, weezer's 2nd effort & album, was released in the fall of 1996 to fairly decent reviews. some columnists stated it was too far a departure from the first upbeat album, and some critics were calling it pure genius. pinkerton was written entirely from rivers cuomo's point of view largely during his stint at school in boston over the winter of 1996.
to be totally correct, 4 songs that later appeared on the l.p. were in reality already written. "tired of sex" dates back to the old school weezer days, and was played during the blue album tour on rare occasions. "getchoo" was quite commenly during the blue album tour as well. "no other one" was written after the blue ablum was released, but not played live (as far as we know). finally, "why bother?" was written post-blue album. we speculate sometime during 1995. as far as we know, it was played live at least once prior to the pinkerton album being released. at the point between the end of the blue album tour, and pinkerton, rivers had also written the songs "waiting on you" & "devotion", both of which were released as b-sides to pinkerton's forthcoming singles. these tracks were laid down at ft. apache up in boston and re-demoed at other studios.
pinkerton is highly influenced from the opera madame butterfl. rivers was having a hard time writing any songs for the new album. at this point he had a brace from leg surgery, and was living prettymuch as a "perverted hermit" as he described in an alternative press interview. painkillers for his operation combined with a letter from a fan in japan were the spark for the rest of the album. based on that fan's letter, rivers wrote "across the sea."
"el scorcho", "falling for you", and the acoustic album closer, "butterfly" soon followed.
with enough songs for a new album, (after meeting the previous summer & christmas), the band reconviened over the summer in california and recorded the album that is now pinkerton. much more emotionally strained and jaged that the s/t first album, weezer was certainly showing its willingness to change.
a clip from alternative press magazine states:
pinkerton is nothing if not directly related to rivers cuomo's experiences. it's a great album, and not just because cuomo lays himself so emotionally bare as he struggles to come to terms with sex, relationships and masculinity. the band have also added extra heft to the songs since their undeniably catchy and tuneful, but undeniably light-weight, debut two years ago. wilson is a dynamic, propulsive drummer. sharp's rentals side project has given him confidence and helped his bass lines become more complex. bell has considerably toughened the guitar sound.

tower records - los angeles
the somewhat infamous tower records parking lot show was the first public display of pinkerton era songs in the united states. "pink triangle","el scorcho", and "the good life" all premiered with old favorites like "undone- the sweater song" , "my name is jonas", and "getchoo". ironically, the show took place in parking lot of the tower records where rivers c. used to work with pat finn (the man who would eventually introduce weezer to each other). the picture above, from the good life ep, was taken on this very day, and features several blurred faces of weezer fanclub members.

25 years ago today, weezer played a free outdoor show in the “extra” parking lot of Tower Records on the Sunset Strip in L.A. Behind them was a massive banner emblazoned with the artwork from their album that was released that day, “Pinkerton”. Because the Pinkerton Security company had filed a cease-and-desist order over the album title, a @kroq banner was stuck over the word “Pinkerton”, and Rivers would shortly after the show be in a courtroom explaining the story of Puccini’s Madame Butterfly to a judge, in a (thankfully successful) attempt at allowing stores to stock the album. This weirdness was a bummer but yet it was somehow a fitting launch to an amazing, strange, and beautiful album that confused and infuriated much of the fan base and critics who had come to love The Blue Album in the preceding 2 years. The band poured all of their heart and soul into that album, reveling in the chaos and beauty they were wielding. It just took most of the world a while to catch up and groove on the raw power. 25 years later, the album and the band live on, and the music on Pinkerton continues to stoke up the band and fans alike. Here's a few glimpses of the album as it was being made (started 8/95 [ostensibly as "Songs From The Black Hole"], completed 8/13/96)

fan account of whiskey show
This was the first of Weezer's back to back nights at the Whisky right after the release of Pinkerton. I remember listening to the record almost constantly for the 2 days between the release of Pinkerton and this show so that I would know all of the words (plus it was an awesome record worth listening to even without a show coming up). Unfortunately, I was still in high school at the time and was only able to attend the first of the two nights at the Whisky.
Around this time I was obsessed with getting the best possible seats to Weezer shows and started a string of around 10 =w= shows where I was always the first in line (now that they play big venues all the time I don't worry about it so much). Three members of the band Teen Heroes showed up next. For those of you somewhat familiar with the band, Jesse has a really big Weezer tattoo on his bicep. Anyway, we sat around and listened to tapes of that dog., weezer, etc.
The show was amazing. All of Pinkerton was played. There was a tremendous amount of energy from the band that night. This is probably my favorite venue so it made it even better. Rivers coming out and playing Butterfly with Karl on the drums was a really cool part of the set.
After the show I went outside and found that my car had been parked in a restricted area and had been towed. I managed to track down Mykel and Carli, who I spoke to a lot online around that time. They were really great. They helped me track down where my car was and I eventually ended up getting a ride from the Teen Heores folks to get my car back. While I was waiting for a ride, Mykel and Carli introduced me to Karl. He was really nice and talked to me for a little bit....I had just gotten the fanclub underwear shirt (look in the weezines to find it) and he thought it was pretty amusing, if a little weird.
And that's my take on the 9/26/96 show.
--thanks to joe for the fan account!

Back to the Teaszer for the 6th time, and the 4th time that month! By now the band was sick of the place, but it wasnt the last time theyd play there! Lack of other opportunities in L.A. was still a problem.
There is little known info on this show, no pix, no flyers. Only a small journal notation: "rockin'. good sound. few people."
Setlist: unknown.

show #25: acoustic show at Ghengis Cohen club/restaurant, Hollywood
...this was the 25th weezer show, and the 5th of weezer's early acoustic sets. Ghengis Cohen was and is still located on Fairfax in West Hollywood. Its basically a restaurant with a tiny stage off in a corner, where acoustic acts serenade the patrons while they eat.
The set for this show was:
the world has turned
my name is jonas
say it aint so
undone
This show was 'bootlegged' by Karl, who used a cheap handheld voice recorder to capture the show.
There are no known flyers and no photos from this show.

Today in Weezer History: 12/24/XXXX - No known major weezer activity on 12/24, so we do a random throwback today, revealing a hard to date artifact created by Rivers Cuomo. This was a mock up of an early idea for the cover to the Buddy Holly CD single, which dates this to probably September 1994, when that single was first planned. The piece is made from an original '94 Geffen weezer promo sticker used as the background, with a hastily cut out photocopy of a photo of the band glued to it. This photo ended up on the back cover of the actual CD single whereas on the front cover 2 different childhood photos of Rivers were used, different ones for the US promo and the UK retail editions.
