'''[[Weezer]] performed live on [[May 7]], [[1992]]''' at [[The Central]] as part of their [[Pre-Blue Album club dates|Pre-''Blue Album'' club dates]] in the Los Angeles area.
==Overview==
This was the first of many shows that the band would play with fellow alt-rock band [[Wax]], who had a significant influence on Weezer in the early days. According to [[Karl Koch]], Wax was "ruling the scene" in LA rock clubs at the time:
{{Karl Koch quote|Weezer took a cue from [ [[Wax]] ] and did their best to get on their shows, which were heavily attended by both scenester and industry type people. Most importantly their shows were super high energy, and lots of fun, which was a rarity in the L.A. club scene at that time! Weezer watched carefully as Wax's energetic sets of power-pop-punk won people over.|<ref name="Historic event">[[Historic event: 05/07/1992]]</ref>}}
==Setlist==
The setlist for this show is unknown. The venue had a practice at the time of filming every show and offering the recording for sale back to the band.<ref name="Historic event" />. Weezer bought the tape of this show, but it "went missing" according to Koch, who explained that it "is either truly lost or possibly in the collection of [[Matt Sharp]]"<ref name="Historic event" />.


The setlist is unknown. The band purchased a video tape recorded by the venue, but the tape was lost some time thereafter.
