This show is notable for being one of only two Weezer concerts to have been performed without [[Rivers Cuomo]]. Cuomo got sick and lost his voice on [[November 4]], 1994 and was unable to sing for three days. As a result, Weezer's tourmates [[Live]] played without an opening act that night in Seattle, WA as stop-gap. When Cuomo still wasn't ready to sing the next day, however, Live's management "threatened to find another opener," according to [[Karl Koch]]<ref>[[Historic event: 11/04/1994]]</ref>. [[Pat Wilson]], [[Brian Bell]], and [[Matt Sharp]] agreed to play without him, performing an acoustic set and somehow dividing up vocal responsibilities. Cuomo's "[[Catalog of Riffs]]" archive corroborates this story, noting "Rivers couldn't sing" next to the November 5 date, as well as "Pat & Matt? play accoustic ''[sic]''" by this November 6 date in Denver.<ref>[https://weezerpedia.com/catalogofriffs.html] Cuomo's [[Catalog of Riffs]] notes: "SATURDAY 1994-11-05 Salt Lake City, UT COLISEUM/Rivers couldn't sing SUNDAY 1994-11-06 Denver,CO OGDEN THEATER/Pat & Matt? play accoustic"</ref>. | This show is notable for being one of only two Weezer concerts to have been performed without [[Rivers Cuomo]].
