It first officially | It was first officially recognzied by the band when it was mentioned in the [[Karl's Corner - Winter 1996|Winter 1996 edition]] of ''[[Karl's Corner]]'', a column ran by [[Karl Koch]] and (originally) featured in issues of the quarterly [[Weezer Fan Club]] publication ''[[Weezine]]''. Here, Koch describes the release, ultimately dissuading readers from purchasing it. The bootleg's mention in the column is transcribed:<ref name=Weezine5 /> | ||
<blockquote>In other discographic news, it has come to my attention that there is a Weezer bootleg out there. I have seen and listened to this CD. It looks similar to the album at first glance, but says "Weezer...Geezer" across the top, and the guys' heads are replaced with random old men's heads. This CD was apparently made from a "homemade" audience recording at a show last winter at The Sung in New Britain, CT (not the [[Weezer concert: 10/06/1994|show opening for Live in October 94]] but the headlining show in December 1994, where Letters To Cleo and The Dambuilders opened). It doesn't sound too good and is by no means worth the 25 to 30 dollars it sells for. It does contain "getchoo" (listed as "get to my heart", apparently mistakenly interpreted from the line "get-choo, uh huh"). Despite this 'debut' and the general scarcity of live Weezer material out there, I must discourage the purchase of this CD, as not only is it of inferior quality at an outrageous price, but it's illegal and like all bootlegs, all the proceeds go to somebody who snuck in a tape recorder at the show. Unless you can get it for a fraction of its usual price, it really is a rip-off. Preferably only a few people will buy it and everyone else can tape it off of them. Thanks to Jeremy Crum for advance warning on all this. He wrote that he found it in an ad in Goldmine! Sheese!</blockquote> | <blockquote>In other discographic news, it has come to my attention that there is a Weezer bootleg out there. I have seen and listened to this CD.
