Weezer performed at the Coliseum in Salt Lake City, Utah on November 5, 1994 as part of the Blue Album Tour. The band opened for Live.

Overview

This show is notable for being one of only two Weezer concerts to have been performed without Rivers Cuomo. Cuomo got sick and lost his voice on November 4, 1994 and was unable to sing for three days. As a result, Weezer's tourmates Live played without an opening act that night in Seattle, WA as a stop-gap. When Cuomo still wasn't ready to sing the next day, however, Live's management "threatened to find another opener," according to Karl Koch[1]. Pat Wilson, Brian Bell, and Matt Sharp agreed to play without him, performing an acoustic set and somehow dividing up vocal responsibilities. Cuomo's "Catalog of Riffs" archive corroborates this story, noting "Rivers couldn't sing" next to this November 5 date, as well as "Pat & Matt? play accoustic [sic] by the November 6 date in Denver.[2].
