Weezer - SZNZ (March 20, June 21, September 22, December 21, 2022) Album • Page 23

Their EWBAITE full album show was A+.

 

A few random deep cuts would go a long way for at least the degenerate (read: all of you) Weezer fans. Just bust out a Burndt Jam or The British Are Coming every now and then

 

"Burndt Jamb" is actually the one left-field cut we got at Key Bank pavilion with The Pixies back in 2018 lol. Great show.

 

Imagine a Rivers’ Favorites Only tour…

 

Except his top 10 favorite Weezer songs are literally all singles lmao. He called "Africa" his favorite Weezer song iirc

 

He would run back on stage and begin the encore with acoustic State Farm jingle.

 

Rivers should never choose the setlist tbh

 

Haha. Zing!

I know Rivers has the “algorithm” for making setlists and has apparently used it for the last couple years, but... it doesn’t really seem to change all that much or make inclusions for later-era stuff. Even singles! ANYTHING off EWBAITE or White!

 

Best setlist they’ve ever had was the TBA and Pinkerton Memories shows. Getting Jamie, Susanne, You Gave Your Love, and Only in Dreams before all of Pinkerton? I’ll never forget that show.

 

I've always thought a band should do a tour where they just hit shuffle on their catalogue on an iPod and play whatever comes up

Seems like something Weezer would do

 

Ben Folds did a tour where everyone in the audience wrote their requests on paper airplanes and flew them on stage and he’d pick them up at random and play them. I’d kill for something like that with Weezer.

 

I think a few bands (Elvis Costello comes to mind) have done a “Spin The Wheel” tour approach which is pretty cool, but obviously you’d uh... need a pretty big wheel here haha. The shuffle idea would be amazing for Weezer!

Just hook it up to my veinsssssss, good lord. How many Everybody Needs Salvation planes can I land near Rivers?

 

I still do my own little shuffle setlists for fun

 

Rivers used to decide the set lists by rolling d20s. That might’ve just been that year or two around green tho.

 

In fairness with a catalog so large, it would probably be really hard to actually shuffle the setlists and have everyone actually remember all of the songs lol. Maybe you make a setlist of 10-15 staples and then have a pool of 20-30 song that you pick ten randomly of every night

 

[stares in Phish]

 

I listened to the Green Album + B-Sides at the gym yesterday and that song "Always" was a nice precursor to this Spring SZNZ EP. Sidenote: they really need to re-issue/remaster Green with all the various b-sides as well as some other stuff I assume is sitting on the cutting room floor from that era.

 

Karl has said he has a deluxe Green ready to go, but Rivers isn’t really interested in revisiting that era, and Geffen owns it all so it’d be a headache dealing with them.

It’s too bad, that’s by far my favorite era.

I remastered the SS2K songs for my own enjoyment, if anybody’s interested. DM me or whatever

 

Also, Rivers has said the current setlists are chosen by Crush, his algorithm and his own input.

 

I truly love the seven Green album b-sides that came with all the singles. I Do, Starlight, Oh Lisa, Sugar Booger, Teenage Victory Song, Always, Brightening Day... and that doesn't even take into account the SS2K and other demos, what a great era of the band

 

Facts.

 

I’m sure it’ll be released eventually for some anniversary

 

Brightening Day might be the best song from Green sessions lmao

 

Did he indicate how many bonus songs are available in addition to the 7 b-sides already out there?

 

I’ll take remastered SS2K please.
