Weezer

In August 1996, Weezer performed "In the Garage" at the Bizarre Festival in Cologne, Germany, a show that highlighted their rise following the release of their acclaimed self-titled debut album, commonly known as the Blue Album. Released in 1994, the Blue Album featured hits like "Buddy Holly" and "Say It Ain't So," which solidified the band's place in rock history and paved the way for their unique blend of alternative rock and pop sensibility. By this time, Weezer was riding high on their newfound fame yet still maintaining an authentic, carefree appeal that endeared them to fans. Interestingly, during this concert, they showcased their growing repertoire and energetic live performance style, capturing the essence of mid-'90s indie rock culture. The Bizarre Festival gig remains a standout moment in their early career, showcasing a band clearly comfortable in their musical skin.
