Weezer

In August 1996, Weezer was riding the wave of success from their self-titled debut album, often referred to as the 'Blue Album,' released in 1994. This album featured iconic tracks that defined a generation, like "Buddy Holly" and "Say It Ain't So." By the time of this live recording at Rockpalast, their follow-up album, 'Pinkerton,' was on the horizon, set to release just a year later. This live performance captures the raw energy and youthful exuberance that marked Weezer's early years, allowing fans to enjoy songs that would soon become classics in their catalogue. Notably, songs like "El Scorcho" and "Undone - The Sweater Song" are a testament to their knack for blending catchy melodies with heartfelt lyrics. What a moment it must’ve been for fans in Cologne to witness this pivotal time in Weezer's evolution!
