Weezer have announced that on their latest tour, which they're calling the 'Memories' tour, the band will perform two nights at every location. On the first night, they will perform their first album, the self-titled now referred to as The Blue Album (as the band has two other self-titled records, Green and Red) in its entirety. On the second night, they will give the same treatment to their second album Pinkerton. This is especially exciting because the band has largely 'disavowed' the classic Pinkerton for much of their career.
On both nights, the band will play a 'greatest hits' selection in addition to the featured album.
Even though I don't hate new Weezer enough to raise $10 million to get them to stop (like this guy James Burns is trying to do), this is great news for Weezer fans, as these first two albums (Blue + Pinkerton = Blinkerton) are indisputably their greatest work. I've never had the pleasure of seeing Weezer perform live, and now seems like the best time.
I'm not sure which night I would choose if I could only go to one. Ideally, one would hit both dates.
Weezer's Blinkerton tour dates announced thus far:
November 26-27 – Los Angeles, CA – Gibson Amphitheater
November 29-30 – San Francisco, CA – Knob Hill Masonic Auditorium
December 14-15 – Boston, MA – Orpheum Theatre
December 17-18 – New York, NY – Roseland Ballroom
January 7-8 – Chicago, IL – Aragon Entertainment Center
