Weezer

On July 4, 2000, Weezer performed at The Glass House in Pomona, California, in a time when they were riding the wave of their third studio album, 'Pinkerton.' Released in 1996, 'Pinkerton' showcased a more emotionally raw and experimental side to the band, blending power pop with introspective lyrics. While the album faced mixed reviews initially, it has since earned a cult following that appreciates its depth and vulnerability. This performance captures Weezer at a pivotal moment; their shifts in musical style and growing fanbase set the stage for their future works. Interestingly, the recording from this concert was preserved despite some tapes being confiscated by staff— a testament to the dedication fans have towards collecting and cherishing these live moments. This show provides a glimpse into the band's transition and the fervor of their live performances during this fascinating era of their career.
