Getting Up and Leaving: Difference between revisions

Weezer recorded a live demo during ''[[Blue Album]]'' pre-production session and later, in [[1996]], a studio version during the ''[[Pinkerton]]'' sessions.  Along with [[I Swear It's True]], the song was designated for release on a retail "[[Pink Triangle]]" CD single that, unfortunately, never happened.

The song remains unheard by most fans, known only from sheet music Rivers posted on his MySpace.  The song was performed live a handful of times very early on in the band's career, but a bootleg has yet to surface.  One such occasion was at a Chicago club show at the Metro in either [[1994]] or [[1995]]. It is often considered to be one of weezer's 'holy grails' of unreleased songs.  On [[November 25]], [[2008]], at a hootenanny with Rivers on the eve of [[Alone II]]'s release, the song was attempted, but aborted due to most fans at the event being unfamiliar with the song.  Rivers did, however, perform a full a capella version to please the crowd.
