-'''American Holiday''' is an unofficial CD released by the label "[[Tornado]]" in [[1995]]. Tracks 1-9 were recorded at [[Weezer concert: 08/31/1994|a show in St. Louis, Missouri]] on [[August 31]], [[1994]]. Tracks 10-17 were recorded at [[Weezer concert: 12/05/1994|Madison Square Garden in New York City]] on [[December 5]] of the same year.
+'''American Holiday''' is an unofficial CD  bootleg released by [[Tornado]] in [[1995]].
-This CD is notable for its remarkably low quality packaging and egregious song titles. Nearly every song listed on the CD has the incorrect title, such as "[[My Name Is Jonas]]" being labelled as "Bet On You" and "[[Surf Wax America]]" being labelled as "What America Needs", among many others. Along with these discrepancies, the bootleg is notorious for being one of the band's first, following "[[Geezer]]".
+==Overview==
+The CD sports noticeably poor-quality design (a staple of bootleg releases) alongside a plethora of erroneous song titles. Of the 17 tracks listed on the CD's back cover, only "[[Buddy Holly]]" and "[[Holiday]]" are without error, with a number of songs having been given entirely unique titles. Alongside these discrepancies, the bootleg is notorious for being one of the band's first, following ''[[Geezer]]'', which is believed to have been released earlier in [[1995]]. Both were mentioned by [[Karl Koch]] on [[December 4]], [[2013]] in a Facebook post memorializing Weezer's earliest bootlegged CDs.<ref>Koch, K. (2013, December 4).
