Weezer Memories Dispatch #3:
Heres the original layout artwork for the 11"x17" poster I made for the May 29, 1993 weezer show at Club Dump in Hollywood, CA. The details include the old pre blue album 'weezer' logo i created in '92, a bit of a 'Challengers Of The Unknown' comic book from the 60's, a bit of a Chick Publications comic (in which a guy says "Haw haw, hey guys, this is the dirtiest story I've ever heard - it goes like this-"), and a photo from a cookbook or something.
Joyride was a sorta half punk half alternative band featuring Steve Soto, who was originally in the legendary OC punk band The Adolescents. Weezer befriended Joyride and did quite a few shows with them, including some Orange County shows we otherwise would not have gotten. Nine Iron was a great and very funny band featuring Tony Maxwell (drummer for that dog.) as a singer and guitar player. I dont remember much about 12 And Counting except they seemed to play a ton of the shows around Hollywood in those days.
Club Dump was held weekly at The Central, a Sunset Strip club that was in very bad shape but had a lot of character. later it was purchased by johnny Depp and transformed into the Viper Room. Its nice, but I think it was cooler in its Dump days. -karl

weezer show #58: The Gaslight, Hollywood, CA
The Gaslight was a club held at a bar (unknown name, everybody called the place The Gaslight) on Cosmo Street in L.A. This quickly became the hipster hangout and it was not unusual to see hip young tv, movie and music stars mingling, shooting pool, and checking out the bands.
This show was marked by a repeat of the "china grove jam", this time used at the end of the set in a total meltdown in which a brand new (and apparently defective) "Dragon's Roar" china crash cymbal cracked nearly in half when subjected to pat's savage beating. The cymbal was then stomped on until cleanly split in half. Lesson: no china grove jam + new china cymbal!
setlist: unknown, aside from "china grove jam".

late may 1997
the first news about a possible pink triangle single was revealed may 21st during a weezer radio show at KNDD in seattle, washington. the song had been remixed from the original pinkerton lp version, in an attempt to rev it up a bit more. the vocal performance is primarily the same, except for a "oh ho ho" in the slightly different [a few notes] guitar solo. a prominent synth has also been edited into the song. the remix was sent in promo form to radio stations around the country along with a second track containing "pink triangle [acoustic]" from the shorecrest high school show.
as stated during the show, the b-sides for the p.t. single were entitled "getting up and leaving" and "i swear it's true". although not confirmed, it has been said that bassiest scott riebling [letters to cleo] played in place of matt on these tracks only, because matt was in london working on the second rentals lp.
a video was decided to only be shot if the single did extremely well on the radio. while overall in some areas of the country it recieved somewhat consitant play, as a whole the single didn't do extremely well.
at this point it is a little vague as to what actually happened. it is presumed that since the single didn't do super great that a video was not made and hence an official sinlge was not realeased. originally there was going to be a non-u.s. released single only, but it never appeared on music store shelves. it is presumed that these b-sides have been shelved for possible future single releases. 
the only current available version of the pink triangle remix is contained on the promo version [see picture above] sent to radio stations. some stores and online companies sold them during the summer in the $8 to $15 price range.
note: a "pink triangle" is an upside-down pink triangle used to denote homosexuals in germany during world war II.

weezer show #59: Rhino Records, Westwood, CA
This was an in-store daytime show with that dog. Memories are faded with time, but it is believed that that dog. played first, then Weezer. This show was attended by numerous members of that dog leader Anna Waronker's family, including the then-head of the Warner Music Group, Lenny Waronker. Also in attendance was DGC A&R man Todd Sullivan, who would lead weezer to signing with DGC in just 24 days time.
setlist: unknown.

UCLA Star Wars Film Fest
This was a screening of all 3 original Star Wars Trilogy films in a row in a large UCLA auditorium. Most of weezer plus karl and some other friends made it a priority to go. The band thought it would be a good idea to invite DGC A&R man Todd Sullivan along to basically test his endurance for the type of culture that the band considered essential. Basically, if Todd survived the 10 hour festival awake and with a smile on his face, weezer would be that much more trusting of their possible deal with DGC. All bands ought to do these kind of tortures to prospective label suitors.

weezer show #60: Club Lingerie, Hollywood, CA
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 one of several Lingerie shows in the '92-'94. This show was "bootlegged", taped out of the mixing board by Karl who convinced the sound guy to let him record.
setlist:
1. no one else
2. the world has turned and left me here
3. my name is jonas
4. surf wax america
5. say it aint so
6. jamie
7. lullaby for wayne
8. undone the sweater song (with a nice "metal memories" ending)
9. only in dreams
10. excellent mutated cover of The Doobie Brothers' "China Grove" mixed w/ The Beatles' "Baby You're a Rich Man".
The other bands on the bill were 1000 Mona Lisas, an early pre-signing show for them, El Magnifico (containing John Pikus, who recorded weezer's 11/92 demo tape and was later in The Campfire Girls for a while), who had just recorded an album for RCA, and Black Market Flowers, who had just recorded an album for Relativity. This would mark one of the rare BMF/Weezer/El Mag team ups, 3 bands, who along with Wax defined the mini-scene that weezer was a part of then, trying to forge a non-hair band -yet- non-grunge scene...
Monday shows were always free, but with these 3 bands at this point in time when they were all kicking ass, the show was well worth an admission price.

weezer show #8: English Acid, Hollywood
English Acid was a weekly club within a club, at a location on Santa Monic Blvd. in Hollywood that [I beleive] has since been closed up]. Its reputation was a little seamier and weirder than the average club, with the decor on the 'burlesque' side. But there were many rocking shows there.
This show was recorded, via a tape made off of the mixing board. Like most club mixing board tapes, the vocals are too loud in relation to the rest of the mix.
This show was a short set for some reason... maybe the band's new demo tape hadn't impressed the club owner that much! Also on the bill were The Sin City Desciples, Murder and Exile, and The Morning Glories.
Setlist:
undone
lets sew our pants together
the world has turned and left me here
my name is jonas 
there are no [known] photos from this show. 2 flyer variations: L: Karls fumetti effort, R: one of Matt's many "Straight Dope" appropriations. note the names on the sleeves.

show #9: acoustic set at 8121 club, Hollywood
...this was the 9th weezer show, and the third 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:
undone
theif, youve taken all that was me
the world has turned and left me here
paperface (1st time performed live)
lets sew our pants together
my name is jonas
the biggest animal (the old Fuzz/S.W.S. song rises again)
"smiths medley" (spontaneous medley of several Smiths songs)
This show was 'bootlegged' by Karl, who used a cheap handheld voice recorder to capture the show.
There are no known photos from this show, and no flyers seem to have survived, if they were made.

santa barbara
Tons of geek-band followers were on hand Friday night at "The Yucatan" club in downtown Santa Barbara to witness the return of the beloved Weezer. As the restless fans waited out an hour-long delay, the opening band "Nerf Herder" set up and began just as the last fans were making their way inside. True to form, Nerf Herder entertained the impatient crowd with comedic high school songs, ranging from the silly to the sublime. After a surprisingly long set, the long awaited main attraction made its way to the stage. A friend and I lucked out by snagging some spots by the bar...a perfect view about 10 feet away from the boys and free from overactive high schoolers.
With a crowdful of sweaty teenagers eagerly looking on, Weezer opened the set with "My Name is Jonas". The boys were back indeed. Rivers, with collared shirt buttoned to the neck, let pure energy fly from his guitar as if he was playing these songs for the very first time. The audience got all that they expected and more. At one point there was a break in between songs. One audience member yelled "Hey! Play 'Why Bother'!" Rivers looked out into the crowd and responded "'Why Bother'? Okay." Turning around to pass the new info along to the rest of the band, they cranked out the tune in flawless fashion. I was surprised to see a new face among the ole' regulars of Weezer. Bass player Mikey received no introduction, but proved his worth as he rocked out as if he'd been there from the beginning. Guitarist Brian, while switching guitars every song, gave the classic head bobs and swaying dance moves while backing Rivers. Rivers, quiet in between songs, hit the crowd with powerful vocals mixed in with ripping guitar solos obviously honed to perfection.
My friend and I agreed, this was more than we expected. We'd heard Weezer was a bit disappointing live. All fears were put to rest. Don't be mislead, there's no witty interactions or comedy act here, Weezer lets their music do the talking. There was no doubt that every person in the joint was a die-hard fan. They proved this by singing along at the top of their lungs, while swaying in time with the high school nerd anthems.
The only distractions that took my eye off the stage were the security guards yelling at memebers of Nerf Herder, telling them that they weren't allowed to stand on the side of the stage. Apparently they had no idea who was who. Three new songs were offered up to a hungry crowd that night. Personally I wasn't hooked. Disappointed, I remember thinking to myself "Gosh, he gave all he had. He doesn't have anymore hit songs in him." While the new licks were relatively true to Weezerform, they were simple and straightforward. Bottom line: nothing special. Gone were the unique and pop'ish guitar riffs by Rivers. Gone were the instantly catchy lyrics. However, have no fear, I'm sure by recording time (September) we'll be presented with an album that will quench the three-year-long thirst we've all had. Until then... -Crawdaddy

bakersfield fan account
Review of 6/17/00 show in Bakersfield, CA
I and two friends drove from Las Vegas to California to see =w='s first two shows back. This was the second of those.
This is easily the strangest venue I've ever seen Weezer play at. It was literally held in the basement of a pizza place. A few hours before the show, we were putting gas in my car and ran in to Pat and Jen Wilson. This was a cool experience. If anyone gets the chance to meet her, Jen is really nice.
Later on at the venue, Rivers was eating in the restaurant area. I think Mikey also came upstairs and had some pizza. I know a bunch of fans were bothering Rivers while he ate and he ended up leaving early.
Luckily we were at the front of the crowd because the layout of the venue would have made it almost impossible to see from the back. Mikey was more animated this night than on his first night...but he still seemed pretty nervous. It was a really good show. Plenty of Blue and Pinkerton songs and also a few new ones which I really enjoyed. They had played Dope Nose the night before but only played it in soundcheck this time around. I remember that I thought My Brain was particularly good and probably my favorite of the new songs that night. Rivers was really into it. Plus, he had the blue-era bowl cut which provided a nice bit of nostalgia (he had that girlish long hair when they left in Aug. 97).
After the show, each band member except Pat went out in front of the venue and signed autographs. They were all really friendly. I felt a little bit bad for Mikey because Rivers and Brian were swarmed and Mikey just went by himself and smoked a cigarette after signing a few autographs.

weezer show #10: 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.
Despite the weird match-up, Weezer ended up doing a lot of shows here in '92. I recall one show where the announcer guy kept saying 'its weeeezer at the teeeeaszer' over the p.a.. I guess their reputation was temporarily cemented at that point.
Setlist unknown.
there are no [known] photos from this show. L: the Teaszer, color corrected to show its ugly purple look of '92. R: another Matt "Straight Dope" type flyer.

Weezer signs record deal
This was the day when Weezer signed its recording contract with DGC (Geffen) records. The efforts of the band had paid off after 18 months of writing, rehearsing, recording demos, playing out, and promoting themselves thru any tasteful means available. Todd Sullivan had made the deal happen on his end, convincing the Geffen higher ups to have a go at this essentially unknown band.
In what is normal for such deals, what the band actually signed that day was a "pre-signing agreement". This is essentially a promise by the band to sign a contract that at the time still needed to be drawn up by DGC and approved by Weezer's lawyer.
Within hours of the signing, Rivers would write several songs in a burst of confidence and elation, including "Buddy Holly" and "In the Garage".
The next month and a half would consist of mostly equipment buying, band rehearsals, and vocal singing lessons and practices. They had a little under 6 weeks to get an album's worth of material nailed down solid. They wouldn't end up choosing a producer nor recording studio untill they had been rehearsing for a few weeks.

Today in Weezer History: 12/23/XXXX - Not a big weezer news day in history, as most years it was a holiday break around now. But we gotta keep the fires lit for rare and unseen pix from the past, right? So here's a never seen shot of Rivers and Pat playing some hackey sack on 6/29/2000 in Los Angeles, a short while before they played the Vans Warped Tour stage. Photo credit: Kyoko Ito.

san francisco warped tour
san francisco, ca - warped tour 2000 
 weezer - crowd shirtweezer - group shirt
Hey Guys, I just wanted to tell you that I almost gave up hope that weezer would ever even be a band again! After coming to your site a couple months ago I found that Weezer was getting ready to tour and luckly they were coming to San Francisco! Well, needles to say, I went and saw one of the greatest bands ever last Friday. I never got a chance to see them in the past as I had a busy band that took all of my time. There were a lot of people who saw them in the past and told me that they sucked live and they weren't very interesting. Well, I have no idea what they were talkin' about because they were amazing! I mean, I thought the kids this weekend wouldn't even know or care about Weezer but boy was I wrong! All I heard al day long was talk about Weezer from everyone. All the kids were buying t-shirts and what about the line of kids waiting to get autographs from them, it was crazy! And to top it all off was the fact that they headlined over all of the bands! Sincerely, Jeffrey Fletcher
==========================
I went to the Van's Warped Tour in SF on July 1st, and weezer was clearly the highlight of the day. This was the set list (the order might be a little off)
My Name Is Jonas
El Scorcho
No One Else
Say It Ain't So
In The Garage
Buddy Holly
Undone (sweater song)
Surf Wax America
Deatils...
Every member of weezer now has essentially the same haircut (even Mikey, except his hair is curly). Pat's hair looks smooth as silk.
Most of the bands at the Warped Tour swore incessantly in order to gain applause, but =w=only swore once during their entire set (Mikey said something about "crazy mother-f__ers"). On the way to the show, we heard MxPx interviewed on Live 105, the local alternative radio station. When asked about their favorite band on the tour, the reply was, "We've liked weezer a lot."
Weezer was on at 6:45pm, the last band of the day, but EVERYBODY stuck around to see them. All of the weezer T-shirts were sold out by the end of the day. Brian had panache, as usual (man, that guy is one cool-cool m-f-er). He sounded great, and looked as if in an intimate relationship with his guitar. Weezer was scheduled to autograph at a booth at 4pm, and the line was ridiculously long by 2:30pm. Every song sounded GREAT.
Before Surf Wax America, Mikey explained to the audience that this was weezer's last Warped Tour date. He also said that they all had a great time, and thanked everyone from the tour for allowing weezer to be a part of it. It was a classy little speech.
Thanks... Blake jediyoda@cheerful.com

first weezer merchandise
sometime earlier in the summer, the very first weezer shirts were made, a simple design copied from the mini-posters that karl had been making, printed in white ink on kelly green shirts. Matt set up the t-shirt order for 40 shirts at a small garage based company in the valley that was run by a friend of Mykel and Carli's. Most of the shirts were given away, but a few fere sold at shows.
on 7/3, the band's first order of baseball caps arrived. These were done by New Era Cap and were white embroidery on kelly green wool one size fits all caps. The "=w=" was on the front, and "weezer" on the rear. This first order was only 12 caps, all of which were soon given away. A second order for 24 caps, this time on burgundy fabric would be placed soon thereafter.
...also on this day, Jason Cropper had a yard sale. Karl, who with Patrick Wilson and Takashi Hasegawa would be moving out of the Fuller apt soon, brought his microwave oven to be sold, and it did, for $20. 
...weezers very first shirt + hat (from back)...note original logo style, actual color shown in corner...

dgc rarities vol. 1 is released w/ "jamie"
david geffen records released a compilation cd with rare or never before heard tracks by many of their artists on this day. included in the bunch was a song by none other than the rock 'n roll powerhouse known as weezer. also on this cd was a song by a band that many weezer fans probably did not know quite yet, but who would become quite familiar in the upcoming years...the band i'm referring to is that dog. 
the song by weezer on this album is 'jamie," which some consider to be the best b-side. it's a sweet and touching song about the band's lawyer. it's also notable because it is the only existing recording released with long since departed guitarist jason cropper. [who, as you know, was replaced by brian bell early in the blue album recording days]
