During a number of live shows in the summer of 2000, Weezer modified No One Else and [[Buddy Holly]] by adding an extended instrumental introduction. The band kept the introduction for Buddy Holly as a part of the performance until 2005, but dropped the introduction to No One Else after only a few shows. | |||
