The '''Memories Tour''' was a concert tour by Weezer wherein the band played their first two records - ''[[Weezer (The Blue Album)]]'' and ''[[Pinkerton]]'' in their entirety. Initially scheduled from November [[2010]] to January [[2011]], the tour has been intermittently "revived," with ''Blue''- or ''Pinkerton''-only shows performed as late as [[Weezer concert: 09/20/2015 - Toronto, ON, Canada|September 2015]]. The tour was named for the [[Memories|lead single]] from 2010's ''[[Hurley]]''. | |||
Most Memories Tour venues were booked for two consecutive nights, with the first being devoted to ''Blue'' and the second to ''Pinkerton''. The band opened each show with a setlist of hits and b-sides. The inclusion of "[[You Gave Your Love To Me Softly]]," "[[Susanne]]," and "[[Jamie]]" - all b-sides from the band's 90's output - was notable, as those songs have been performed infrequently by the band both before and after the tour. [[Karl Koch]] would host an intermission between this first set and the album-specific set, sharing images and stories from the band's early history. | |||
Despite the fact that ''Pinkerton'' songs have been performed live by the band consistently through their career, much mention has been made in the press about {{PN|Rivers Cuomo}} [[Pinkerton#Cuomo's reactions|attempts to distance himself]] from the record upon its initial commercial failure. The band initially considered calling the tour the "Blinkerton Tour," a portmanteau of "Blue" and "Pinkerton," with no apparent connection to [[Blink-182]]. | |||
Soundboard recordings from multiple Memories Tour dates were released as [[List of official bootlegs#Memories Tour|official bootlegs dates]]. | |||
