This was recorded at RFK Stadium in Washington, DC. Weezer was supposed to perform as the special guest for a radio station festival but for some reason would not go on stage, so the station set them up in a conference room and simulcast their performance on the Jumbotron for the audience in the stadium.

[@DT24K]

Interesting story there... you know all of that to be true?

[@gomorycut2000]

maybe they refused to go on stage because they were told they couldn't say 'hash'

[@AmericanDischord]

Weezerpedia notes that it was intentionally secluded and fans received Weezer related gifts and a VIP signature experience of sorts.

Yo Mikey's falsetto is pretty good

[@slantedterror]

Mann I’m trying to get clips of Mikey and they barely show him here 😭

@@Jizzlszilrins6784 I was making an edit- I’ve already finished it so it’s all good

[@SoniKast]

@@Meleedroit yeah I am also curious about this edit (for research purposes also, of course)

[@craWley_1994]

​@@slantedterror um, research purposes hah, do you, happen, to, have, this, edit 😁😁 just asking 😁 hah😁

[@michaelradtke4801]

There is a longer version that they showed that ommited a commercial break and included Undone and another song I am blanking on. I think it was Crab

[@lukepayne6525]

Tired of Sex was omitted

[@AmericanDischord]

only missing Undone.

[@madiqs7615]

Their outfits here are very well put together wow

[@garydarnell3117]

God I remember watching this live back in the day. I'm so old.

[@cynthj]

Thank you so much for uploading this! I taped it and watched the VHS countless times, always hoping it would find it's way to KZbin.

[@Umprella]

I got my... shPIPE

[@certainjean]

they all look so good here

[@daniel90550]

Knockdown Dragout solo was amazing

[@icystorm9]

In this recording Rivers looks like Andrew Garfield, but 10cm shorter.

[@billiejoesearlobe]

rivers so very fine

[@cynthiamiller1324]

A very stimulation to the mind and spirit

[@mars-br7zj]

he is saying "i've got my ass wipe, you've got your big cheese" so clearly there is no denying it

[@tremorchristlester4688]

This is probably just a coincidence but kinda weird thought. Mikey had a mental breakdown at 30 years old in August 2001 just a month before 9/11 attacks and nearly committed suicide but was put in a psychiatric hospital. Then 10 years later just under a month from October he had a dream about his own death in September 2011 and was found dead October 2011 from drug OD at the age of 40.

[@alvarojam84]

Thanks a lot for sharing this. I remember having it in crappy 320x240 video. This is the best source I've seen. Do you have the DVD version of this? If so: interested in a trade? I really hope so. Regards

[@dannywilliams8217]

So so Awesome

[@underneonloneliness2]

I’ll never understand censorship! Who cares if people hear the word “Hash”. The world won’t exactly end will it! It just ruins music!

[@SoniKast]

This must've been filmed during the hooptie tour before Island in the Sun's release as a single

[@paulyplatinum127]

that makes sense; the crowd didn’t react to Island in the Sun

[@GregBonks]

Rivers' guitar strap being twisted pisses me off.

[@heartsthekitteh6239]

"Your strap is twisted, your eyes are slit..."

[@_ms.mannequin_]

I would love it if they would add some heavy fuzzy guitars to this song like somewhere during the chorus because I feel like it would give it that real blue album Weezer feel. I can like hear it in my head with the song I hope they do it sometime

[@NiKOliDANBURSKi]

Notice the Kurt Cobain shaped glitch in the matrix at around 5:25. Bottom, middle left

[@sxzzle1237]

yeah wtf it looks jus like him!

[@aaronjasongs]

Where’s the version with Undone?
