I think this might have something to relate with a surgery he had in 95 or 96, because in the comments on the letterman performance, a comment said that he had gone through surgery and was in physical pain, hence why he looked so pained. That’s also why Matt sharp was so energetic in this, to draw less attention towards rivers
My favorite Weezer song of all time, I still have my original blue album, it's priceless to me, first album I could listen straight thru and not skip any songs
@@shtinkodid you forget about butterfly? it's the only bad song on the album, and the closer to add to that. the closing song should've been longtime sunshine, if you ask me.
@@RedpillRetreat lemme reword myself. no one else is the prequel to world has turned. probably was rivers reconsidering what lead up to world has turned, totally a pinkerton move years before pinkerton.
@WilshirecityBlues he offset rivers' awkward seriousness really nicely, and gave the band a quirkiness that's been lacking since he left. when i first heard weezer in 1994, it was that fun irreverence that made them stand out against all the other way-too-serious post-grunge major label alt-rock that was around at the time. that disappeared from the green album onwards. no disrespect to rivers, but the vibe is different without matt's energy.
@@mj.l I wish Mikey was on Maladroit, he was perfect for that album and had some killer backing vocals. Who knows, maybe he would've filled that gap. Unfortunately, I doubt that would have changed what happened to him in the end.
The Blue Album is one my favorites albums of all time... I mean, incredible songs, great riffs, tons of feedback, amazing solos... What else can you ask for?
rivers in this old performances looks like he was scared, too shy, I think inside he isn't like that, he looks like he was a nerd in his school days....maybe I'm wrong a great composer anyway
I purchased a LP copy of this album (Blue) a couple of weeks ago, its been on the turn table pretty much ever since, I'd never listened to it all the way through before that, and I have to say This album is AMAZING... sounds even better on a Record too! :P
All these comments crack me up. Bands evolve...period. Sure, Weezer was gonna be the "next Nirvana".... but their music was taken in a different direction, as was music in general as grunge began to fade rapidly around '96. ..... makes you wonder what Nirvana would be putting out today (if anything). In any event, Weezer has always been "power pop" as defined by the '90's, '00's, and now '10's. Rivers Cuomo is very sharp and well educated; he's a very prolific writer that writes from his soul.
This video is just perfect, is just Weezer, the song is perfect and caracterizes Weezer, Rivers plays guitar and sings, has that haircut like in the cover of the Blue album and the Blue years, has this leg problem, Brian has that characteristic guitar and Matt was still in the band, Pat always was the same in the band, he didn't changed at all, that's great, I love this song and this video,,
i wonder if he's drunk, Rivers use to get drink quite alot actually. Said he would drink and play, helped him stay in his world. Forgot what the interview is called it's on youtube. Kinda sad actually but i do that too, so yeah.
He was going through leg surgery at the time, and he'd often drink during shows. And in an interview he said he'd get stage fright in almost everywhere he played.
MinecraftTerroristSchoolShootingSocialExperimentPrankInTheHoodGONEWRONGAlmostGotShotGONESEXUAL Yup, he did say that. Kinda depressing in the way he said it too.
Since Weezer's comments are turned off, I'll leave this here: I have been listening to the blue album everyday since December. Easily in my top 3 favorite albums of all time.
@LoveFromBelow1993 it must have been one of their first big public concerts, of I was there i'd be as pale as a dead and would loose my voice, they did pretty good
@57jakers Don't make assumtions about me either. I fell in love with weezer for the same reasons you did. The lyrics to the songs in the blue album replicate 100% of how i feel, it was like Rivers knew how i felt. Albeit that it sounds wierd but it's true. All those things you've listed i have felt.. The songs that speaks to me the most, more than any others are No One Else and The World has Turned. The story between those two songs describes me in a way that i can't.
@DunkRyan well this was like right after weezer was put on the map and also rivers used to have incredible stage fright...also his depressing/still posture adds a lot of emotion to an already emotional song like this
The world has turned and left me here Just where I was before you appeared And in your place an empty space Has filled the void behind my face I just made love with your sweet memory One thousand times in my head You said you loved it more than ever You said You remain turned away Turning further every day The world has turned and left me here Just where I was before you appeared And in your place an empty space Has filled the void behind my face I talked for hours to your wallet photograph And you just listened You laughed enchanted by my intellect Or maybe you didn't You remain turned away Turning further every day The world has turned and left me here Just where I was before you appeared And in your place an empty space Has filled the void behind my face You remain, turned away Turning further every day The world has turned and left me here Just where I was before you appeared And in your place, an empty space Has filled the void behind my face Do you believe what I sing now? Do you believe what I sing now? Do you believe? Do you believe what I sing now? Do you believe what I sing now? Do you believe?
@SolidWander yeah i think the same. i've always liked weezer but i liked them so much more when they were in the blue album/pinkerton days. their sound changed so much over the years.

The Blue album is the sound track to high school and Pinkerton is the soundtrack to college.
Agreed lol
Pinkerton is the soundtrack to everything after high school tbh
Edit:me realizing this is a 10 year old comment
@@MrMarshalltheninja nah pinkerton is the college album while ok human is the life-after-college album
Its the other way around for me lol
Green album is middle school
Pinkerton is high school
Blue album is college
Ok Human is adulthoold
Who else thinks the blue album specifically has some of the greatest songs ever made?
Sure thing!
I also like pinkerton...
I do!
my favorite losers in the world
One of the best bands today
they might benerds but they certainly arent losers
personally love river's look in this video
He looks just like he did on the cover for the blue album
Can’t say the same for Brian! Looks like he stepped straight out of the Wonder Years
Me too
@@jamest3145He's wearing those goofy looking glasses to hide his eyebrows which he shaved off for some reason.
Greatest Weezer song ever.
I agree
I was just about to say that
Agreeed
That’s the way I see it
Heavyness, sadness, and emotions - best blend
One of the most underrated songs in their catalog.
Also "This is such a pity"
It's my personal favorite
It's the #1 GOAT Weezer song.
my favourite weezer song rn, I'm genuinely obsessed
This and getchoo in my opinion. My two favourite weezer songs
Man, if I had a time machine, I'd go to every one of their shows
*proceeds to grow gills from the sound quality
underated 2 year old comment here...
CAUSE ITS WATERY SOUNDING
Dem harmonies tho.
lol no doubt
Sings like an angel
He does look like he's hurting. The song is about one of the former objects of his affection so it could be possible
amazing wording
ONE OF THE FORMER OBJECTS OF HIS AFFECTION LMAO
maybe it was after his surgery

Matt's falsetto backing vocals were part of what the old weezer so great. they should bring him back.
My favorite Weezer song of all time, I still have my original blue album, it's priceless to me, first album I could listen straight thru and not skip any songs
Yeah not many albums like that.
It's a perfect album. Sorry, Pinkerton doesn't hit the same highs. Blue... every song is great.
@@kmb1 I think both are that good. Never skip a song on either.
@@shtinkodid you forget about butterfly? it's the only bad song on the album, and the closer to add to that. the closing song should've been longtime sunshine, if you ask me.
I don't like the acoustic guitar on this song on the album version.
I totally loved the energy Matt brought to the live performances. I wish he'd stayed with the band all these years.
How could any girl hurt that boy?!?! So soulful and beautiful!
The song is supposed to be the sequel to No One Else. Hurt that boy!
@@waycnf7229 I think she meant Rivers lol
@@BackToBackJames i think she meant the character in the song lol
Also, JAMES! IT'S JUICEDROP! HOW SURPRISING IT IS TO SEE YOU HERE!
@@waycnf7229 It was written a year before no one else
@@RedpillRetreat lemme reword myself.
no one else is the prequel to world has turned. probably was rivers reconsidering what lead up to world has turned, totally a pinkerton move years before pinkerton.
The world has turned and left me in 90's.
Man. The whole dynamic changed without Matt. He was really important aesthetically and conceptually.
no
indeed
Definitely matt was great.

Aww Look at River's stage fright. He's admitted to looking at his feet until the Green album era.
That's what was so great about early Weezer, the emotional rawness on album, *and* live
@CubertSacc68 DilbertSlapp69 best of luck to you & your band!
shoegaze weezer
The blue album is perfection.
The Blue Album is one my favorites albums of all time... I mean, incredible songs, great riffs, tons of feedback, amazing solos... What else can you ask for?
Ahhh, Rivers is so cute here!
damn, one pf my fav Weezer songs all time and had to come to 1995 to see it.
I really wish we could have gotten more sounds from Brian’s SG Melody Maker, such a rare, underrated guitar.
If only it wasn't stolen...
This hits hard, even 27 years later.
Even 14 years after this gem was uploaded to UA-cam.
Brians that rhytm guitarist that doesn't understand what the song is about, he just plays it and looks happy
MAN, Matt has got something going.
The 70s were golden, the 80s were wild, but the 90s were the best decade of my 52 years of life on this planet. Full stop.
the blue album is great, rivers have a great mind to write about his life.
Love that 90’s ass sweater Matt Sharp is rocking
do you believe what i sing now
Atmos Pheric nope
*heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee*
rivers in this old performances looks like he was scared, too shy, I think inside he isn't like that, he looks like he was a nerd in his school days....maybe I'm wrong
a great composer anyway
One of my favorite records. My first cassette tape, $12.00 ,also my first cd probably $16.00-18 bucks
this song makes me super happy but i also cry to this at 3am.
One of Rivers’ best guitar solos
Tired of Sex
I love Rivers look here!
Eric Forman (topher grace) looks like rivers
I've been saying that for years!! and you're the first person to ever think that too
Such a great song! Love every bit of it!
The blue album is one of the greatest albums ever created!!
What did they do to my boy Brian?!
rivers is so cute in this video
best version ever
I purchased a LP copy of this album (Blue) a couple of weeks ago, its been on the turn table pretty much ever since, I'd never listened to it all the way through before that, and I have to say This album is AMAZING... sounds even better on a Record too! :P
classic song. its sad that there are so few decent quality vids of them from blue-pinkerton era
Best version of this song
Matt Sharp's stage presence and energy are unparalleled - loved his falsetto vocals too on all the songs.
Rivers actually looking like his picture in the album cover
All these comments crack me up. Bands evolve...period. Sure, Weezer was gonna be the "next Nirvana".... but their music was taken in a different direction, as was music in general as grunge began to fade rapidly around '96. ..... makes you wonder what Nirvana would be putting out today (if anything).

Rivers still with the leg brace... check out say it aint so live letterman and the leg brace is there
No if you read the pinkerton diaries rivers had surgery a week after the say it aint so music video shoot
When Matt sharp left weezer it makes me sad.. Also love Return Of the rentals
This video is just perfect, is just Weezer, the song is perfect and caracterizes Weezer, Rivers plays guitar and sings, has that haircut like in the cover of the Blue album and the Blue years, has this leg problem, Brian has that characteristic guitar and Matt was still in the band, Pat always was the same in the band, he didn't changed at all, that's great, I love this song and this video,,
this is one of my favorite songs from them .
This was perfect. I’m glad I’ve seen Weezer (live) every so often. They’re the soundtrack to my life.
That wall of sound, that grinding guitar, they sound like Metallica, but they are OURS.
Brian Bell has the best glasses ever!!
Good album to listen to all the way through, one of my all-time fav's as well.
damn river's stare is intense, can't but think he's thinking "man won't matt just stfu"
i wonder if he's drunk, Rivers use to get drink quite alot actually. Said he would drink and play, helped him stay in his world. Forgot what the interview is called it's on youtube. Kinda sad actually but i do that too, so yeah.

MinecraftTerroristSchoolShootingSocialExperimentPrankInTheHoodGONEWRONGAlmostGotShotGONESEXUAL Yup, he did say that. Kinda depressing in the way he said it too.
I don't think he had any issues with Matt, they also played together after he left the band.
90s weezer is the greatest band of all time.
how can they think this is boring to play live? that slayed!
3:03 such a beautiful harmony
Wow, it's when Weezer was an actual rock band.
I feel you man 😢
I know you are being "sarcastic ironical" but yes, this was by far their best period.
Cant wait for van weezer to come out..
@@LoganDaBro van weezer was kinda garb tbh
@@hfl_ lmao yeah it was
Rivers looks damn FINE in this performance. I’m not gonna lie about it
Rivers looks so uncomfortable on stage here :P
Didnt know sheldon cooper could play guitar...brian looks just like him back then :-D
Rivers has to be the most nervous-looking performer I've ever seen.
I'm still here love
just bring back Matt! goodness..
That feel :(
Gigantic (Pixies) --> The World Has Turned (Weezer) --> Demon Dance (Surfer Blood)
this comment made me listen to surfer blood for the first time in years, such a good song that i forget about
the best
Maladroit is a really good album... the sound and lyrics are great.
Hate to disagree, but Pinkerton is the most underrated and my favorite
Good god Brian I love you
Since Weezer's comments are turned off, I'll leave this here: I have been listening to the blue album everyday since December. Easily in my top 3 favorite albums of all time.
Not surprised, they aren't playing it. This is so damn sad song, and touching right into heart. Especially when you're post-breakup like me
Dang, dude. I didn't know Rivers has been using the lightning-bolt guitar strap for so long!
@LoveFromBelow1993 it must have been one of their first big public concerts, of I was there i'd be as pale as a dead and would loose my voice, they did pretty good
my favorite hidden gem on youtube
Brian Bell looks like Jason Cropper here
He looks 22 to me but he prollly looks really young. His name's rivers in case you didn't know-no worries. Damn, they WERE a geek band
Brian looks just like buddy holly
This is how i still feel :/
Brian looks like Spud from Trainspotting here xd.
I agree so much. It took me like 3 run throughs of Pinkerton before I managed to forget the abomination that is Raditude.
besides undone, this is my fav on that cd
eric foreman + sheldon cooper...
@57jakers Don't make assumtions about me either. I fell in love with weezer for the same reasons you did.

river is so adorable
Makes me want to cry :')
What happened to Brian's eyebrows omg
I mean I know he shaved them but WHY
+Val He shaved them to achieve Ziggy stardust sass, According to him
+Val He isn't Brian, the guitarist here is Jason
+Val Oh, wait a minute...
Daniel Barros What
My favorite dorks
This was a quarter of a century ago.
Weezer is basically Eric foreman if he ever made a band after the show when him & Donna broke up 😂
@DunkRyan well this was like right after weezer was put on the map and also rivers used to have incredible stage fright...also his depressing/still posture adds a lot of emotion to an already emotional song like this
Right here they had so much potential not saying that Pinkerton was bad, but they screwed up after Pinkerton
yea I know. it's probably one of my top 5 fav songs by them too
love this song
My fav Weezer song these days 😀
The world has turned and left me here
Just where I was before you appeared
And in your place an empty space
Has filled the void behind my face
I just made love with your sweet memory
One thousand times in my head
You said you loved it more than ever
You said
You remain turned away
Turning further every day
The world has turned and left me here
Just where I was before you appeared
And in your place an empty space
Has filled the void behind my face
I talked for hours to your wallet photograph
And you just listened
You laughed enchanted by my intellect
Or maybe you didn't
You remain turned away
Turning further every day
The world has turned and left me here
Just where I was before you appeared
And in your place an empty space
Has filled the void behind my face
You remain, turned away
Turning further every day
The world has turned and left me here
Just where I was before you appeared
And in your place, an empty space
Has filled the void behind my face
Do you believe what I sing now?
Do you believe what I sing now?
Do you believe?
Do you believe what I sing now?
Do you believe what I sing now?
Do you believe?
Back when they were really kicking ass and still somewhat new.
My goat
So true.
@SolidWander yeah i think the same. i've always liked weezer but i liked them so much more when they were in the blue album/pinkerton days. their sound changed so much over the years.
Best Weezer song by miles
