Weezer cover of the Beach Boys' "California Girls"

Weezer is going to be performing a Beach Boys tribute during the upcoming Grammys. Managed to grab this first public performance of their "California Girls" cover at a private event in Dallas, TX on January 27th, 2023.

I hope they record this one and release it! Sounds awesome

I watched this on tv at the Grammy Tribute to the Boys. The sound was great and it was unbelievably it had the Beach Boys on their feet. One of the best covers I have heard. The tribute itself was awesome.

[@awill891]

There was a crowd shot version of that performance (removed since the official CBS release) and it sounded so much better than the TV version. The "professional" TV edit sucked all the life out of it even muting River's catchy repeating guitar riff at the end. But yeah, still a great performance from Weezer.

Why didn't they cover Beach Boys on Teal? I would love to hear them do Wouldn't Be Nice-

They gave this song the respect it deserves. Nicely done.

Sounds awesome a studio version would be the bomb

[@jofficialchannel]

Let's hope this has a studio version that goes on the Orange album, whenever that happens.

[@redaissancey6423]

Do you have any other videos from this show by chance?

[@beachbumtrivia1838]

Why does Weezer's logo look like Wonder Woman's?

[@andreasjohannesson4160]

It’s a tribute to Van Halen, I think

[@margaretmaskara9002]

it was their warmup for this song for the Grammys concert salute to the Beach Boys (which occurred a few days after Grammys) which is in production and editing and will likely be on tv early summer.

[@Meeshrick]

Is it just me or does Rivers sound auto tuned?

[@tylerreis6790]

That’s just his voice I think he’s trying to sound kinda like Mike love too

[@MichaeldeFilippi]

lol should probably stick to Buddy Holly but a great effort!

[@jmstopmotion6549]
