Fan recollection
Weezer-Rules mailing list member StarBurst wrote about the concert the next day:[2]
AHHHHH I love Matt Sharp. i saw Weezer last night and I fought my way to the front to see them close-reeeaal close.
Rivers signed my forehead and drew a dog on my hand. they are so nice.
matt shook my hand and smiled at me and looked funny because my forehead was marked, I LOVE THIS BAND!
When the show ended, he just came out and started to sign autographs. the guards decided to leave him alone and do his thing. his girlfriend came out to. I got four things signed by him. He is really mellow. when i asked him to sign my forehead he said 'man you people are crasy!' he is really sweet.
not to mention...Matt Sharp...wow....in the middle of the Sweater song when he was singing someone in the crownd screamed 'Rentals!' and Sharp started rolling on the floor laughing! then he banged up and hit his guitar and wailed away. he's the greatest. Porno for Pyros was supposed to play at Ziggys two days later [sunday] and that would of ruled, I love weezer. i didn't think much of them before , but I am telling you now:
You really never know what a band is made of, until you see them perform before your eyes.
before I left I touched his coat it was sooo soft [rivers] and it was black and silky. Matt wore white nike shoes, and Dockers pants.

Frankly I remember them playing almost every song from the first two albums so I'm not sure what source came up with this setlist. I met part of the band at the Wendy's salad bar next door to the venue before the show. It was a magical night lol. True!"
