To date, Weezer has not performed "Heart Songs" live. However, during the third set of shows played on the [[Troublemaker Tour]], [[Karl Koch]] sets up a record player on stage and plays "Heart Songs" from the ''[[Red Album]]'' vinyl. Cuomo then comes out and smashes the record player down during the part of the bridge that recalls hearing Nirvana for the first time in [[1991]]. Scott and Pat come on stage and they play Nirvana's "Sliver" as a three-piece. Cuomo has [[Rolling Stone interview with Rivers Cuomo - June 26, 2008|said]] that "Sliver" was the first Nirvana song he heard while working at Tower Records. | |||
