 The tour for ''Pinkerton'' was among the most extensive and taxing the band has ever embarked on. The tour ended in tragedy, with the death of the band's fan club founders [[Mykel and Carli Allan]]. The tribute performance organized for the Allan sisters would be the band's last public performance for [[Summer 2000 Tour|three years]]. It was also [[That Dog|That Dog's]] final performance before their initial break up. With this event and ''Pinkerton'''s middling reviews, Weezer would retreat into an extended hiatus and leave many to believe they had broken up. Despite this, the tour and its namesake record would receive a critical reappraisal in the 21st century. The band's performance at the [[Weezer concert: 08/17/1996|1996 Bizarre Festival]] in Germany is now held in particularly high esteem. [[Nerf Herder]], an opener on one of the North American legs, reminisced on their experience sharing a bill with the band in the 2016 song "[[We Opened for Weezer]]."
