"Mad Kow" | "Mad Kow" was first documented in July of [[2000]],<ref name="rechist12">[[Recording_History_-_Page_12|Weezer Recording History - Page 12]]</ref> with the band recording demos to a DA-88 at Cole Rehearsals in Los Angeles.<ref>Rivers Cuomo. ''[[The Catalog O' Riffs]]''. [[2002]]. http://weezerpedia.com/catalogofriffs.html</ref> The band performed the song live throughout the remainder of that summer. The song did not make the cut for the band's subsequent album (Weezer's eponymous [[Weezer (The Green Album)|''Green Album'']]), but appeared on a semi-official ''Summer Songs 2000'' "album" distributed by [[Rivers Cuomo]] to fans in November of [[2001]]. | ||
"Mad Kow" was revived in March of [[2002]] during [[Album 5 demos|early demo sessions]] at Westlake Recording Studios in West Hollywood for the band's already-planned [[Make Believe|fifth album]] (before their fourth, ''[[Maladroit]]'', had even been released). The band subsequently performed the song live at a few shows during that same month. The band continued work on it that summer, with one version featuring piano by session musician [[Shmedly|Ryan "Shmedly" Maynes]]. The song was ultimately retired thereafter. An acoustic rehearsal, as well as a clip from a soundcheck—both filmed in 2002—appeared on the [[2004]] DVD ''[[Video Capture Device]]''. [[Rivers Cuomo]] also played the song during a session on the [[List of Rivers Cuomo video streams|video streaming]] platform Ustream on [[August 6]], [[2011]]. | |||
