Weezer performed at the Joint at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Paradise, NV on January 21, 2011 on the band's Memories Tour. The band performed their first two albums, The Blue Album and Pinkerton, back to back. During the encore, the band was joined by Rachel Haden for the band's first ever live performance of the Pinkerton-era b-side "I Just Threw Out the Love of My Dreams." A recording of the concert was sold on the band's (now-defunct) Cinderblock.com store as the live album Live in Las Vegas, Nevada, as part of the band's series of official "bootlegs."

Tonight's Memories show is unique in that its a combination Blue + Pinkerton dual album show. Its never been done before (by weezer) so there's bound to be some surprises...
(later...) And in fact the main suprise was saved for the encore, with Rachel Haden joining the band onstage to sing the Pinkerton B-Side "I Just Threw Out The Love Of My Dreams". Rachel, one of the triplet daughters of jazz great Charlie Haden and original member of weezer buddies that dog., is the featured vocalist on that recording, and as such the song hasnt been performed since the mid 90's, as Rivers wrote the song from a girls point of view. It was so great to see Rachel again, and everyone had a chance to catch up with her after years of separation. The rest of the show was understandably epic, with the entire Blue and Pinkerton albums performed in order (separated by my old time weezer memories slideshow). It had a slightly different feel from the previous two-night Memories shows, which had the wild first set of hits and b-sides. That created an immediate celebratory atmosphere, that for this show had to be slowly (but surely) built up to as the classic albums were laid out and the collective freak out gathered strength like a storm. Big ups to Rachel Haden, Brian's sister Leia Bell and family, Michael McCarthy (=w= Flag Guy!); and Luis S., die-hard front and center man going big with the ILAA package! Did you go? Comment here and/or in our message boards, tell your tale! Post your show pix on our photo page! - Karl Koch |
