Today in Weezer History: 11/25/2008 - Rivers hosts a jam session in-store with fans for the release of "Alone II". Today in 2008 Rivers played an in-store show at Fingerprintz Records in Long Beach, CA, but it was a "Hootenanny" style show, similar to what was happening during the encores of the Troublemaker Tour, in which fans were invited to bring instruments and their voices and help choose the set list and perform the songs. The show was attended by a blend of hardcore Weezer fans from all over the USA, many of whom traveled very far to be a part of the very intimate jam session. Highlights were later released on CD and DVD as "Not Alone". Photos by Sung Kim.

Today in Weezer History: 11/26/1994 - Weezer plays in Buffalo, NY on the . This was their first headlining show after 3 months on the road opening for Live, and by now there was a fever pitch growing around the band, as their "Buddy Holly" video and single had started to catch fire. This show was at the rather rundown "Blind Mellons" club near the Buffalo airport, which had a pretty cool outdoor stage, but as it was about 10 degrees that night, they played the cramped indoor stage. The show was sold out well beyond capacity, the room utterly packed with wild kids waiting to rock out. The temperature inside the club quickly rose to over 115 steamy degrees as the band played and the kids went crazy. Everyone got a huge system shock when they stepped outside into the arctic air after the gig. The opening act was probably local band Tugboat Annie (and/or the Dambuilders but this needs to be checked and confirmed). Photos by Karl's mom, who declined to join the mosh pit.

Sixty Wrong Sausages roadtrip + show
from info gathered from karl's '91 Journal:
Wed Nov 27th: [post driving home from work] - prepare for trip, then nap 8-10 pm. 11 PM depart L.A. for S.F., go with Rivers and Jason. Hit a really nasty dust storm around Coalinga on the I-5, that we'd later learn caused a massive 75 car pile-up with heavy fatalities on Friday 11/29.
Thurs Nov 28th: 5 AM, pull into Jasons moms place in Oakland, crash. 2PM: Go to Matt Sharp's apt in El Cerrito, hook up with Pat Finn, Pat Wilson, and Matt [at this point Matt was a friend, but had moved up to the Berkeley area to pursue some sorta symphonic keyboard sequencing music. [He'd handily drop that later in Feb '92 when offered the bass position in weezer]]. Go to Pat Finns's moms in Petaluma and then to the ranch of a relative of hers for a Thanksgiving dinner party with tons of people we didnt know. Much later we dispatch to our various foster dwellings for sleep.
Friday Nov 29th: Get up and go drive around the oakland hills, freaking out at the unbeleivable amount of utter devastation from the recent record-breaking wildfires that pretty much wiped the whole hill out. We were suprised the roads were even open, the stop signs were all melted and such. Pat Wilson later coins the phrase "Burnt Insurance" in regards to this. Then go to Berkeley, walk around, eat good pizza. Finally we pack up the gear and everyone + Matt cruises back to Petaluma, to the Phoenix Theatre. I help them load in, set up. The soundcheck goes really well. Finally they play, I think first on the bill, which was otherwise occupied by young punk-ish bands. I film the show. The guys do their best but for showtime that PA sounds nasty! Actually they capture the interest of those that made it to the show [about 50 i'd guess] and did far better than they thought they did. At the conclusion of the show, matt, standing in the audience, inexplicably shouted "WHO WIELDS THE SCEPTER?". This was the first and last SWS show. Everyone [except Matt] goes to Pat Finn's moms to sleep.
Saturday Nov 30th: sleep in, chill out most of the day. Drive back to L.A. at night with Rivers and Jason. Very silly car recordings made on a hand held "Dictaphone" recorder.

Today in Weezer History: 11/27/2010 - Weezer plays Pinkerton in order, in full for the first time ever - Memories Tour kickoff, Los Angeles. The Memories Tour was a series of special shows in which Weezer played two sets each night, one regular set of greatest hits and/or deep cuts, the other of the Blue Album or Pinkerton, played in order of the album with corresponding backdrop. There were many other aspects of these shows, including special merchandise, VIP tickets that gave fans perks like preshow tours with Karl hosting, meet and greets with the band, a Karl historical slideshow at "halftime" and lots of other stuff. Los Angeles was the initial set of two shows at Universal Amphitheater, 11/26 for Blue, and 11/27 for Pinkerton. Over the next 18 months they would play a number of other Memories shows around the world.

Today in Weezer History: 11/28/1991 - Thanksgiving edition! Future members of Weezer meet up at the end of the 60 Wrong Sausages (part 1). Today in 1991 there was a Thanksgiving party at a fancy horse ranch up in Napa Country, California. 60 Wrong Sausages, the band that included Rivers Cuomo, Patrick Wilson, and Jason Cropper before they were in Weezer, and Patrick Finn, the man responsible for all of them meeting, were on a road trip from LA up to NorCal to visit families for Thanksgiving and to play one show, the only show that 60WS would ever play, at the Phoenix in Petaluma.
Meanwhile Matt Sharp, who Pat Finn had also introduced to all of them back in LA, had been living in El Cerrito (near SF) for a while, so it was a reunion of old friends of sorts, as we stayed at his tiny apartment for the duration as well as Pat Finn's moms place in Petaluma. The show wasn't till tomorrow (see tomorrows FB/Instagram for that), so there was time to kill. While the details are lost to time, what ended up happening on this day was that Pat Finn's mom invited everyone to her mother in law's ranch for a pre Thanksgiving soiree. So there we were hanging out with some very wealthy random people we didn't know, sipping wine and enjoying the day in Napa County.
What is significant here is that no one realized that 60WS would break up within a week of this show, and that Matt Sharp, having reconnected with Wilson and Rivers, would want to abandon his hyperactive classical music he was working on in El Cerrito and return to LA to pursue something more successful. And so the following February when Rivers, Pat Wilson, and Jason asked him to come down and audition for the new band they had formed (without Pat Finn who was pursuing other things at the time), Matt was very ready to return. He was also ready to change his style from "1987 art student" to "1992 modern rock band". As were the others, somewhat.

===Comment from Pat Finn===
From the Instagram post:
"patrickjfinn: Rad memories and uhhhh stylez. Actually it was Sonoma county, Sebastopol to be exact, but an easy mistake to make. The show was at the world famous Phoenix where amazing video of Freedom of Choice era Devo was shot."

Today in Weezer History: 11/29/1991 - The only show played by 60 Wrong Sausages, the band that then dissolved and turned in to Weezer shortly thereafter. Today in 1991, Rivers, Pat Wilson, Jason Cropper and Patrick Finn played at the Phoenix in Petaluma, CA, the only show that 60 Wrong Sausages would ever play, after various jam sessions, demos and rehearsals had gone on since early spring '91, when Pat Finn convinced Jason to move down to LA and join his band with Wilson. Rivers joined a few months later and contributed some hilarious songs. Today's show featured such tracks as "Tennis Ball", "Been Gi" and "Sheriff Wong", as well as some songs originally written by Rivers for his and Wilson's band Fuzz, (which was active late '90 to early '91), such as "The Biggest Animal" and "The Answer Man". About 20 people came to the show including Pat Finn's mom and stepdad, and the sound was kind of abysmal, but this show did pave the way for Weezer in a few short months.

Note: Subsequent research has revealed that Brian Bell's first show with Weezer and the start of the tour actually took place three days earlier, on 11/27/1993 at a different venue. The original Facebook post is preserved here for historical context, as it reflects the information available to the band at the time. The performance on 11/30/1993 at Club Lingerie did happen but it was neither Brian's debut show nor the tour's starting date.
11/30/1993 Self Punishment / LA Basin Tour starts; 1st show with Brian Bell. Today Weezer embarked on a 12 show in 2 week "tour" of the Los Angeles area, the purpose of which was to break Brian in as a full band member after his joining the band in September while the Blue Album was being recorded. In addition it was to try and build some buzz around the band, now that they were signed and had a record in the can. Geffen Records advised the band to do this as many industry types who might later prove to be valuable assets to the band's possible success (i.e. lawyers, booking agents, promotion people, radio station people) were more likely to attend a show by a new signed band to see what the fuss was about, whereas unsigned bands had a lot harder time getting influential people to pay any attention (as Weezer had learned over the prior 18 months of often totally fruitless efforts). As luck would have it, a small set of photos was taken at this historic show, Brian's very first. The flyer also survives.

Today in Weezer History: 12/1/1993 - first photo shoot for Geffen; second show with Brian. Today in 1993 was a busy day, with the band heading over to a photography studio on Olympic Blvd in Santa Monica for a photo shoot with Peter Orth which lasted into the evening. Shots from this shoot later appeared in promo 8x10s and the "Undone" cassette single. Then they packed up and did the second show of the "LA Basin/Self Punishment Tour '93", at the Gaslight in Hollywood on Cosmo Street, opening for their friends 1000 Mona Lisas (who would later gain notoriety in '95 for covering Alanis' "You Oughta Know" in a raging punk style). This was the second show Brian ever played with the band, following about six weeks of intensive rehearsals in LA after the completion of the Blue Album, where he joined the band, replacing Jason Cropper. Karl's journal for this date notes: "much improved in sound and tightness from last night". A handful of photos and the flyer survives.

chicago il
12/1/94 - twisted christmas
this day, weezer played the annual q101 twisted christmas concert along with other notable acts such as hole, veruca salt, dinosaur jr, bad religion, killing joke, and the ever popular korn.
a few days after the show, q101 (chicago's "alternative rock" station) broadcast a "backstage at twisted 3" show, which included interviews with the bands as well as a live song of theirs. especially interesting was korn complaining to the dj's who were interviewing them for making them miss weezer's set, which they wanted to see.
the band talked about the "technocracy" they observed during their stay in japan, the "sue-happiness" of people in north america, and, when asked if they had seen "star trek - first contact," pat said "hey, we're not geeks anymore...that was the last album."
broadcast was a rocking version of "buddy holly," from their set that day.

Rivers's stint in The Truth
from Karl's 1991 Journal: "Meet Kevin the Christian Rocker". Kevin Ridel had been in 2 bands with Rivers several years back, Avant Garde and Zoom [basically same band different name]. After Zoom broke up, Rivers started his own journey towards actually writing songs as opposed to only shredding very very well on guitar. Rivers formed "Fuzz" in early 1991 with Pat Wilson on drums, and a girl named "Scottie" on bass. Fuzz didnt continue past the summer of '91, and by then he joined the "60 Wrong Sausages", the somewhat groovy, somewhat heavy, somewhat odd band that Pat Wilson, Patrick Finn, and Jason Cropper had formed.
Meanwhile Kevin had gone back home to Connecticut and returned, reborn in a Christian Rock outfit called The Truth. Kevin had a drummer [Jeffrey Urboch, who had played with "Zoom" for a little while near the end], and a trio of backing singers, but needed a bass player and a guitarist. Rivers and Patrick Finn volunteered, having heard the Truth demos and knowing they were great songs. They practiced several times and played [as I recall] one show later in the month, at The Whiskey in L.A.. As the exact show date is unknown, the show will be documented here.
The photos show Kevin on lead vocals, Rivers on bass [in a Russian style hat], Patrick Finn on guitar, a random dude on drums, and the backup singers. The show was awesome!
Truth songs played that night included "My Salvation", "With You In Heaven", and "I Belong To God". 
[click on any photo for a larger size pop-up version]
The Truth only lasted a few months. Kevin Ridel would return back east for a few years before returning again in '94 to lead non-Christian bands Lunch Box, then Ridel High, and finally AM Radio.

weezer show #34: English Acid, Hollywood
English Acid was a weekly club within a club, at a location on Santa Monica Blvd. in Hollywood that [I believe] 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 headlined by Thelonius Monster, who at the time were doing pretty well, with their "Try" [?] video on 120 Minutes, so it was kind of a "score!" gig for weezer. Unfortunately weezer had to play before the other opener, the Tolkien/Sabbath-esque Wood And Smoke. The notes for this show only say "equipment failures, but the crowd was still stoked." Considering the state of weezer's equipment at this point in time, this note isnt too suprising.
Setlist: unknown 
there are no [known] photos from this show. flyer design by karl, using random Manga image.

Today in Weezer History: 12/2/1992 - Weezer plays their 34th show. Today in 1992 Weezer played at English Acid, a club on Santa Monica Blvd in Hollywood (now known as a non-rock venue called "Voyeur"), opening for Thelonious Monster, the Bob Forrest fronted L.A. band who have been around since 1986 and had ties with the Red Hot Chili Peppers. They were playing to support their recently released fourth album "Beautiful Mess". Also on the bill was the heavy classic rock/psychedelic band Wood and Smoke, who were playing a heavy early '70s rock style at a time when that was possibly even less cool in the (slowly dying) glam-metal L.A. scene than the alt-rock that Weezer was playing. (search YouTube for their '91 demo song "Monogamy", it's pretty good stuff). No known photos, though Karl remember's a scintillating orangey psychedelic lightshow for Wood And Smoke, and about 20-30 people in the audience. Setlist unknown.

Today in Weezer History: 12/3/2009 - Show at Eagles Ballroom in Milwaukee, WI. Today in 2009 the band were deep in the high energy phase of touring that started with 2008's Troublemaker Tour. Rivers was still using trampolines to achieve incredible feats of aerial dominance, Josh Freese had joined the squad to provide drums, allowing Pat to bolster the front lines of rock for much of the set, and the shows were often marked by stunts and surprise guests. Every night a local fan won a radio contest to come on stage and duet with Rivers on "If You're Wondering", and usually those winners were girls, but tonight it was a bearded guy, which only caused a brief flicker of confusion. This tour would abruptly be called off in a few short days, when Rivers' bus suffered a crash in upstate New York. Touring would continue in 2010 after Rivers recovered from his injuries, but the trampolines would not return.

the end of 'SWS' 
from Karl's '91 Journal: "late Wednesday 60 Wrong Sausages practice. Some new songs [played]. Seems like a split is inevitable". While a passing note from 12/5 adds: "i'm wrong, Rivers [is] just bummed in general", the reality of the band's split was looming. by mid December "SWS" was no more, and Rivers and Pat Wilson had dove headlong into a new flurry of 4 and 8 track demo recording. The new band had no name, no bass player , and no second guitar player yet, but by Feb 14th, 1992 would be rehearsing for the first time. By March '92 the name 'weezer' would be chosen and the first show would be played.

Today in Weezer History: 12/4/1994 - (CORRECTION) - Show in New Britain, CT, becomes first weezer bootleg. Sometimes when you comb thru history files, mistakes are made, and today is all about correcting them. On Oct 6, we reported that the show played at the Sting in New Britain CT that day was later turned into "Geezer", the first ever Weezer bootleg CD. HOWEVER, as it turns out, that was incorrect. They did play the Sting that day, opening for Live, along with the Fatima Mansions. But that show was not bootlegged! They returned to the Sting on Dec 4, 1994 as headliners, with Boston's Letters to Cleo opening the show. Letters To Cleo's alt singles "Here And Now" and "Awake" were hitting modern rock airwaves at that time. LTC's Bass player Scott Riebling would later figure in again with weezer's history, playing bass on Pinkerton era recordings "I Swear Its True" and "Getting Up And Leaving" (as released on Pinkerton Deluxe Edition). In any event, TODAY'S headlining show at the Sting was illicitly recorded and later turned up on the spring 1995 unauthorized bootleg CD "Geezer", on the Kiwi Records "label". The shows setlist (CD tracklisting): 'intro', my name is jonas, no one else, the world has turned, buddy holly, in the garage, say it aint so, jamie, 'get to my heart' (erroneous title of the eventual Pinkerton track "Getchoo", which the band had introduced to their set around this time), only in dreams, undone, surf wax america. This was first ever weezer show to get bootlegged on CD - but it wouldn't be the last - also pictured here are #2, "American Holiday", and #3 "Rock Candy", both from later in 1995. Many more would follow in the 90s before everything went to Napster and such and bootleg CDs and LPs became just novelties for completest collectors. The 'Geezer' CD is quite rare today, but the audio from this show is not that hard to find as audio files online.

Today in Weezer History: 12/7/1996 - Weezer performs in Gainesville, FL at the Florida Theater on the . Today's photo was submitted some years ago by one Brad Wilson, who is the smiling guy to the right of Rivers in this photo. Brad went to several 1996 Florida shows and this was a time when it wasn't too difficult to track down the band directly after the show, as Rivers usually would just wander outside and into whatever crowd of fans was waiting around, and the other guys would pop up there too sooner or later. This show was opened by Ash, who took over from Placebo (who took over for Superdrag). They were touring on their debut album '1977', and this tour cemented a friendship with Weezer that has lasted to this day. In fact, they are one of the bands joining us on the Weezer Cruise 2014 coming up in February.

Today in Weezer History: 12/8/1994 - Weezer performs in San Jose, CA at the KOME Almost Acoustic Christmas show on the Blue Album Tour. This was one of numerous "Acoustic Christmas" type shows put on by radio stations that weezer played in 1994, including in Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York. As Alternative Radio became a major force for a while in the 90's, these shows were kind of a big deal. KOME San Jose had only switched to Alternative from Classic Rock that year, (and would only last until 1998), and they were newly run by the same company who ran KROQ in L.A., so the programming and station graphics were very similar to L.A.'s. This show's lineup was Fret Blanket from England, Luscious Jackson, Linda Perry (of 4 Non Blondes), Sheryl Crow (still considered 'alternative' then), Hole, Live, The Black Crows (apparently considered 'alternative' then), Weezer, and finally Bad Religion, the mainstay California Punk band. Very little KOME 90's history survives online, and the shirt, weezers shortened 94 radio show' setlist and the fall tour book are all that can be found regarding this show today. Of note, bassist Matt Sharp's other band The Rentals played the 1995 version of this show on 12/16/95, whose lineup was about as 90's as could be, with Radiohead, Oasis, Garbage, No Doubt, Toadies, Everclear and Jawbreaker all playing.
