Today in Weezer History: 11/07/2001 - Weezer plays the Viper Room as Goat Punishment. Goat Punishment was a band name created to disguise small shows in Los Angeles, so that only the hardcore fans in the know would figure out it was really Weezer, and so Weezer could try out new material. This started with a pair of shows in late 1998-early 1999, doing an all Oasis cover show, and an all Nirvana cover show. By 2000 the name was used to do some secret shows, and 300 Goat Punishment t-shirts were printed up using artwork that Karl made by modifying the =w= logo and the original fan art that was made back in the '90s of the 4 cartoon heads (There are 3 versions of that shirt depending on who was the bassist, but there is only a Mikey Goat Punishment shirt.) (There are at least 2 bootleg GP shirts as well, distinguishable for their poorly reproduced cartoon art.). in Fall 2001, the name was used again with Scott for a show in October that was shot for HBO Reverb, and then 3 similar shows at the Viper Room. Our lighting guy Dan Hadley was tasked with making a GP light on zero budget, and achieved it perfectly with cardboard and Christmas lights. He still has the sign in his garage in case its ever needed again. These Viper Room shows were recorded with varying success, only the 3rd show on 11/8 produced something usable, with an mp3 of "My Weakness" later released on weezer.com. Tonight, Pat Wilson's The Special Goodness and AM Radio played as opening acts.

Today in Weezer History: 11/08/2003 - Acoustic demos at the band's office. Today was the final day of "office demos" in preparation for starting the recording of "Make Believe" with Rick Rubin in December. Acoustic demos had been recorded at the bands rented office on Sunset Blvd in Hollywood and at Rod Cervera's studio near Universal City since the spring time, but at this point the guys were about ready to start the album. These demos were recorded direct to a Marantz CD burner recorder, with their de facto manager at the time Todd Sullivan engineering. They did 3 or 4 takes of each song they worked on that day, but only one, "The Other Way", actually made it to the "Make Believe" sessions.
Songs worked on:
# I Want to Be Free
# Grey Man
# Give Me the Sword
# I Don't Know
# The Other Way (Way 1)
# The Other Way (Way 2)
# Mow the Lawn (by Brian Bell)
# Sweet on You (by Brian Bell)

Today in Weezer History: 11/10/1996 - Weezer performs in Denver, CO at the Ogden Theatre on the . The morning after "The Good Life" video shoot, the band made haste and flew to Denver to continue the Pinkerton Tour, meeting up with the buses and gear. (The band postponed a show in Salt Lake City to do the video on the 9th). Weezer played The Ogden Theater multiple times over the years, starting in 1994 opening for Live (the all acoustic "no Rivers because he is terribly ill" set), then fully electric in 1995, 1996, 1997, and 2000.

Today in Weezer History: 11/11/2003 - Weezer starts pre-production for Make Believe with Rick Rubin. Today in 2003, the band started working in earnest with Rick Rubin, preparing to record what would eventually be called Make Believe in 2005. The band had been doing acoustic demos for most of the summer and fall, working out what songs were in contention to work with Rick. Now they settled into Swinghouse Studios in Hollywood for several weeks to play thru what they came up with and brainstorm with Rick as to what songs to try for the album and how to approach them. They would start recording next month at Cello Studios, but would then halt work till summer 2004 at Grandmaster Recorders, and finally finish work in early 2005 at Henson Studios.

weezer show #32: 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 were El Magnifico, Monkey Paw, Joyride, and Silvertrain.

Pink flyer art by Karl, the green 'standard' flyer was crudely modified by someone in the band to make Weezer's name stand out. Show setlist: unknown.

Today in Weezer History: 11/13/1996 - Weezer plays St. Louis on the . This show was at Mississippi Nights, and Superbrag opened the show. Mississippi Nights was a well loved club near the famous Arch in St. Louis, and countless bands played there till it closed in 2007. It was the ideal size, holding no more than 1000 people, in an old brick warehouse with a low stage, a low ceiling, and a long sloping floor where the kids packed in and went crazy. Nothing unusual happened, just a solid show from both bands.

Today in Weezer History: 11/14/2008 - The "My Brain Is Working Overtime" video is debuted, on weezer.com and Slide.com. This video was made for the release of Rivers' second "Alone" album of demos, and it was a lo-fi affair, shot during the Troublemaker Tour, mostly in Austin TX on Oct 20th, though there were several attempts made at getting the footage at shows around that time. The video concept was that Rivers would be living in a tiny room with his stuffed puppet friends, singing the song to no one. Then it would be revealed that his "house" is actually a rolling box labeled "my brain", that is rolled out into the audience during set change. The box is opened and Rivers sings to the surprised and confused fans, who mostly can't hear the song because it's only in Rivers' ear buds. To capture this Karl mounted cameras inside and outside the box and distributed more cameras to Weezer crew members to shoot the scene from various angles as it happened. A number of the Flip cameras failed to operate as planned so most of the used footage was inside and right next to the box. Karl dressed the inside of the box with wrapping paper, spinning Halloween lights, and puppets, and some minor items like a small whiteboard with a to do list on it. Rivers would emerge from the box backstage after each take woozy and dizzy, but laughing.

Today in Weezer History: 11/15/2001 - Second night of the Extended Midget Tour: Seattle, WA at the Key Arena, with Jimmy Eat World and Tenacious D supporting. Jimmy Eat World was just breaking big at the time so it was a great line up with their audience growing fast and crossing over with Weezer's, and Tenacious D just hitting the scene as well. Rachel Haden of that dog. was out with J.E.W. doing some backup vocals so it was a bit of a family reunion on this tour, with Weezer's history with that dog and Rachel, and Rachel's long term childhood friendship with Jack Black. A very friendly fun vibe both backstage and onstage for most of this tour. Today's crowd was insane, with "more crowd surfers than the security guys could shake a stick at" - or a "mush pit" as Jack Black called it. For some reason "Only in Dreams" was re-started. This was the second show of this tour, it started the night before in Portland, and this particular leg would continue till Dec 11th in Portland Maine.

Another date on this now legendary tour, tonight's show was the Chicago stop and was at the historic Riviera, which is still going strong today, 96 years after it was first built as a movie theater. Placebo opened the show, supporting their self titled debut album. Not many Weezer fans gave Placebo much love on this tour unfortunately, despite their high quality rock and lead singer Brian Molko's stage banter like "This next song is about having sex with a robot!" Today, like many 1996 and 1997 shows, a setlist survives but not much else.

Today in Weezer History: 11/17/2001 - Weezer plays in Boise, ID at the Bank of America Arena, on the Extended Midget Tour, with Jimmy Eat World and Tenacious D supporting. After an odd day off in Boise wherein Pat went with Dan Hadley (lighting guy) and Karl to the opening night of the 1st Harry Potter movie "with about 600 grade schoolers (in full costume mostly) and their grandparents", it was time for what was only the 2nd show Weezer had ever played in Boise, the first being in the summer of 2000. Fan accounts of the day recount a huge amount of crowdsurfing an moshing on the floor. Like most shows from 2000-2005, very few photos have ever been seen larger than what at the time was an acceptable resolution for computer screens, but what today wouldn't even look ok on a phone. Fortunately all the digital photos (with a few tragic exceptions) taken by Karl from 2000 onward have been preserved at full resolution on updated backup drives.

Today in Weezer History: 11/18/2008 - Weezer at work in the studio, The Document Room, Malibu, CA. Coming off the Troublemaker Tour, the band went directly into sessions for what would be the follow up to the Red Album, eventually titled (by Rainn Wilson) Raditude. Sessions here began on 11/7 and continued for about 3 weeks. Then in January and February 2 more sessions were done at 2 other studios in West LA to complete the album, only it wasn't completed till another set of recordings later in the Spring 2009, with mixer Rich Costey stepping in to engineer for the now absent Jacknife Lee who had intended on finishing the album with the original 3 recording sessions.
These early days in November working with Jacknife Lee were a fun and experimental time, though only parts of these sessions survived subsequent replacement and revisions. One track worked on today was "In the Mall", which was born of a basic structure and idea by Pat Wilson. Much work was done on a somewhat psychedelic breakdown, much of which did not make the final mix, in which Rivers did some increasingly spaced out off the cuff spoken word monologues. This part increased in length and strangeness for quite a few takes before the music kicked back in. Brian assisted with some improvised plastic recorder playing. The Document Room was a full studio inside a large hillside house overlooking the ocean, and many meals were prepared and eaten in the spacious kitchen, as the nearest restaurant was a long drive away.

Today in Weezer History: 11/19/1996 - Weezer plays Saint Andrew's Hall in Detroit on the with Placebo opening. Pictured is the setlist as well as some artifacts from the show that a now unknown fan had from meeting the band that night, including a flyer ad for the show from Saint Andrew's, a signed setlist, and the backstage pass worn to get access to the band. Shows at the (at the time) dangerously located Saint Andrew's Hall were legendary for their chaos, and the (at the time) very small and very old poorly wired stage made for plenty of logistical and technical challenges (perhaps that has been remedied in the ensuing years). No one disputes how intense the Weezer shows that happened there were. In the basement of Saint Andrew's is another club, the futuristic DJ land The Shelter. Usually when Weezer played Saint Andrew's they set up the dressing room in the basement level, as The Shelter wasn't open until late. At the time, Brian has asked for some wheat grass juice on the rider. Someone misinterpreted that and there was a 1' square patch of live wheat grass sitting amongst the chips and salsa etc. Before we left for the night, said patch of grass was secured in a huge antique steel vault we found down there, forever more.

Today in Weezer History: 11/20/1996 - Weezer plays The Odeon in Cleveland OH on the with Placebo opening. Normally we try not to to do two history posts in a row from the same year, but today is an exception, thanks to OG fan William Graessle who provided today's images. This show was his first Weezer show and the image shows his ticket as well as a photo from the Cleveland Free Times/Scene magazine review (photo credit: Steven Batten). Today's setlist was the same as yesterday's in Detroit (posted yesterday on our FB/IG), and William asks if there was anything unusual about today's show. Nothing besides what he already knew from the review, which is how some fan tossed up a rainbow colored clown afro wig onstage during Placebo's set. The crowd was not too welcoming to Placebo unfortunately, and they shouted "wig!" trying to get Brian Molko to wear it. He didn't give them the satisfaction, but Rivers certainly did, donning it for a while during the Weezer set. Backstage, Rivers and Brian M. were becoming buddies, perhaps sensing a kindred spirit in each other, and were often seen hanging out on this tour.

weezer show #33: The Alligator Lounge, Los Angeles
This show was organized and promoted by weezer, more specifically Matt, who booked the club and got the many bands to agree to play in a sort of mini-palooza of local LA groups. The Alligator Lounge was located on Pico Blvd on the West Side of L.A., not far from the "Amherst House".
The Show was touted as "The Big Crazy Show '92", And besides weezer, featured Joyride, Crux, Black Market Flowers, Missing Honey, El Magnifico, Boys Named Sue, Silvertrain, Fast Eddie Lee, and "DJ Cock". DJ Cock was what Matt decided to name Karl, who was appearing as the between-bands dj on the wheels of steel. Karl played a pretty eclectic mix ranging from Black Sabbath to the Pretenders to Superman storybook records. The crowd seemed to dig it. The biggest turntable hit of the night was probably "What's The Buzz?" from the Jesus Christ Superstar soundtrack. One funny incident occured when after the decidedly country-rock Boys Named Sue set was finished, Karl played "Im a little bit country" by Donnie and Marie Osmond. The guy from Boys Named Sue didnt have much of a sense of humor! In general, however, all the bands had a great time and the show was considered quite a sucess.
Setlist: unknown.
there are no [known] photos from this show. flyer design by Matt/Kinko's.

side note: several days before this show, Rivers cut his long hair off.

Today in Weezer History: 11/21/1992 - Weezer plays "The Big Crazy Show" at the Alligator Lounge in West L.A. This show was set up and promoted by Matt Sharp who was the de facto show getter for Weezer in these days. Weezer lived around the corner from this club and there was a new booking guy there and somehow Matt got him excited about doing a big show with many current bands on the L.A. scene, even though only a few of them could really draw anyone. All the stops were pulled out and favors cashed in to get everyone to come play, and about 75 people ended up coming that night, which was quite good at the time. Other bands were Joyride (with Steve Soto, ex-Adolescents), Crux (later Skiploader), Black Market Flowers, Missing Honey, El Magnifico, Boys Named Sue, Silvertrain, Fast Eddie Lee (a Wax associate who occasionally played harmonica when weezer played "Jonas"), and "DJ Cock", who was actually Karl Koch on the turntables. Matt decided on that name and put it on the flyer, and Karl had to suck it up and deal. It was really his first DJ gig, and it went pretty well except when he played "I'm a Little Bit Country" by Donnie and Marie Osmond after the country tinged LA scenesters Boys Named Sue left the stage. The feathered cowboy hat longhaired leather jacketed lead singer got up in Karl's face and said "Don't you EVER do that AGAIN!" No sense of humor, those guys…

rivers solo show 4 - cambridge, ma
well, it is november 21st, and time for the forth "solo show". rivers packed a club in cambridge for this one, and he didn't let the crowd down. he started off the set, by telling the crowd that these songs were kinda like the country songs. for those who don't know, on the third "solo show" there was a major country feel to it. and the songs rivers was planning on playing on this night, were to be just like those ones. the crowd was going nuts the entire night. everyone who has the copy of this shows knows what we mean. the over enthusiastic "YAY"'s coming from the crowd in between songs was enough to make you crazy. and of course the "fred rules" were great too.
autumn & jane
hey m' darlin
sheila can do (it)

hot tub
this show also featured a newer version of "sheila can do (it)". instead of busting straight into the chorus, there is a verse added in. these songs have been listed as having a country feel, but if you ask me, they have rockabilly, and maybe even a touch of ska in them. these are definately not weezer-esque style songs played here. they all seem to be very upbeat, and popish. they have the still great lyrical content as found in most weezer songs, except for a couple goofy songs. like hey m' darlin for instance. the chorus is talking about rolo's and candy treats. not the usual girl broke my heart song associated with rivers style of writing.

Today in Weezer History: 11/22/1996 - Weezer plays the Phoenix Concert Theatre in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. 17 years ago we were playing the well loved Phoenix, with Placebo opening the show. Exactly 17 years later, today in fact, we are not far north of Toronto, playing the Rama Casino, but unfortunately Placebo is not here with us this time. Weezer has played Toronto many times over the years and from their first visit in '94 enjoyed immediate acceptance and very devoted fans there, with the shows always being crazy. The setlist survives, but no photos of this show have turned up to date.
