Today in Weezer History: 1/23/1997 - On this day in 1997, [[Weezer]] played in Milwaukee, WI at [[Weezer concert: 01/23/1997|the Rave Hall]], one of the several concert venues in the massive Rave/Eagle's Ballroom complex, with [[Nerf Herder]] opening. On this day, the Weezer Fanclub leaders [[Mykel and Carli Allen|Mykel and Carli]] flew in from Portland, joining the band for 2 nights and doing special fan meet-ups. The weather was brutally cold and snowy, but the shows were crazy and fun. Tonight the band played [[Pinkerton]] b-side "[[Devotion]]" live for the first time. Fan Bryan F. wrote years later: "...My friends and I got there quite a few hours early and we had nowhere to go. We ended up sneaking in the venue (the doors were UNLOCKED because of soundcheck). We ordered a pizza, it came, and minutes later Weezer arrived! [[Pat]] asked me, "Is that pizza for us?" I said "no" I'm an idiot. Then Nerf Herder showed up in a van and started carrying stuff in. I asked if I could help and they said yes. I carried some road cases in and stood right on the side of the stage as WEEZER WAS SOUNDCHECKING!! I heard them play Devotion! It was awesome. BUT THE BEST PART IS STILL COMING. One of my friends named Jeremy was a friend of Mykel and Carli and had set it up where we had back stage passes! After the show, we kicked it with [Mykel and Carli], they were wonderful and sweet and awesome, God rest their souls. Then [[Rivers]], [[Brian]], and Pat came out..."
