Harlan Thater also Rivers kicked him while out while recording the Blue Album because he didn’t like Jason’s recordings and decided to re record all of his parts himself.
Back in 1998, my girlfriend said this was my theme song. I loved Weezer, I was 17 and lived in my parent's garage, playing guitar all the time. And I've always been a sarcastic recluse, kinda like Rivers.
Wow..... Jason sounds awesome & natural with Rivers on these two songs. Not to mention the fun & charisma they both brought. Very organic...great moment captured for the books. No agenda, just two guys killing it. undeniable good vibes.
During that tour when rivers didn’t want to play the guitar they should’ve just had jason come out and play guitar instead of having pat play and some other guy play drums.
yeah that was weird. maybe pat did want to just really play guitar and pushed for it? also during memories tour it would have been cool if they gave Jason a spot to at least appear during the encore during the songs he actually appeared on so he got a taste of the big stage. oh well. Jason is still awesome!
Greatest singalong band of our generation. Very few bands have fans that sing along with every word, with the same or more passion and soul than the lead singer. Awesome moment- Jason enjoyed himself
This has more Weezer vibes than any of the Full band shows in the last 15 years. Very nostalgic indeed, just so heartwarming :) The chemistry between then is amazing both personally as musically, their voice blend so well! They should write and record a new acoustic album together ❤❤❤❤
That has to be a great feeling for a musician- to have people at your shows singing along with every word- not just with the big hits but with the deeper tracks that were never released as singles.
When you're a Harvard graduate and have been a rock star since the mid 90's, I guess that's what you get. Lol. Like you said...it's okay, because....He's Rivers.
@@JohnnyGuitarRocks It's really reflected in his music though, so it can't really be an act. Moreover, he has always been acting like this. He's pretty clearly a very awkward and anxious guy.
If you guys like Jason Cropper, you should check out his band with his wife called Chopper One. They had a really catch song in the 90's called Touch my Fuzz.

Did you memorize that set list? What happened to #17? I'm kind of upset I left to go back home for work today and missed Rivers hanging out afterwards but the show was so awesome and I had a great time. I was so hyped up I had a hard time falling asleep.
The Blue is not only the best Weezer but one of the absolutely best of the 90’s. Words can’t really give justice to or explain how magnificent it really is and was when this record dropped. Let’s just say there is No one Nobody boppin around right now in 2020, that is doing anything remotely this good. And that includes current Weezer. We’re in a different time now when people are stripping our culture away and all the things that make us all as a collective band together and create soul soothing, fundamentally amazing music that can elevate us to limitless potential. What is your thought. Like for instance do you remember the last clothing trend that took the country by storm? And wasn’t just copied or bitten style from decades past! Our love and grasp on culture has been slowly beaten down, until eventually everything is CANCELLED and we have no funny movies no good music. And whoopsie Daisy, We have none left. Cause we’re way better thann this.

Jason Cropper looks like he teaches 8th grade Biology
Your so right
so a weezer member
@@CassCat69 true I mean of Weezer hadn't broken through, they'd all probably be teaching 8th grade biology
@Jerome Maxim definitely, been watching on InstaFlixxer for since december myself :D
@@Xenonnofficial wrong your
4:55 "I've got electric guitar"
*Holds up acoustic guitar*
*Jason loses it*
I thought he was laughing because the "stupid songs" part was coming up, but maybe you're right.
They sound so damn perfect on the harmonies. You can tell that they were meant to rock together
I know lots of people don't like Brian. Generally I do, but Rivers Jason, and Matt would have been such a perfect vocal trio.
@@gav6189 who doesn't like Brian
@@gav6189 everybody loves Brian wdym
@@andrewoid4711 No one I want to know. Brian being there almost makes them look cool.. almost.
Weezer wouldn't be Weezer without Brian
@@huntercrunch94 yeah I think brian gives a really special vocal aport
I talk to Jason every once in a while. He's an epic dude.
Wow
How??
How??? He's just a normal guy lol, it's not as if he said "yeah I talk to Rivers every once in a while"
No you don't 😂
I had a revelation watching this: Jason Cropper brought the folkiness to the Blue album
god damn right he did. the album wouldn't have sounded the same without him
3:26 The look on Jason's face when the whole crowd starts singing on the first word is priceless
He totally wasn’t expecting it
its heartbraking that Jason didn't get to take the ride because he got that girl pregnant and didn't know how to handle it.
Jason should be back in the band by now.
Rivers kicked him out after his girlfriend got pregnant
Harlan Thater also Rivers kicked him while out while recording the Blue Album because he didn’t like Jason’s recordings and decided to re record all of his parts himself.
@@ObiWanKenobi Wait, is the really what happened? I haven't read much into Jason's reasons for leaving the band
Pinkerton wouldn't have happened. Happy with how history worked until now, but I think it's time he joins Weezer again.
Back in 1998, my girlfriend said this was my theme song. I loved Weezer, I was 17 and lived in my parent's garage, playing guitar all the time. And I've always been a sarcastic recluse, kinda like Rivers.
You can hear people doing Matt's falsetto during the chorus and it is amazing
I always find that hilarious.
How beautiful is this night.
Poor Jason - could have been om the cover of the Blue album.
That's rough. But they had this night, I'm about to cry
right
We really need a show with Rivers, Matt, Jason, and Pat
No love for Brian I see...
@@lordsubl1me very aggressive for no reason
Absolutely. Jason is one of the reasons the kitchen tapes (Opposite Sides of The Same Good Ol’ Fence) is my favorite thing Weezer ever did.
But Brian tho
I just want a full like reunion thing and have all current and past members. (RIP Mikey)
Theres something so pure about his harmonies, you can really tell that they were meant to be sung by him!
Totally!!
its seems jason was the inspiration for matts harmonies
He's singing all Brian's parts in this set.
Or rather, when Brian joined the band, he had to learn all Jason's parts.
actually i think he was at a pretty good volume, it's just that the crowd was all singing the main line so he got drowned out haha
this video makes me feel so warm inside
I smiled through the whole video. Heart warming stuff.
@@John6-40literally what i was about to say
No One Else is my favorite Weezer song of all time
:)
and this is history, guys.
I've never seen Jason before, but now I love him dearly
Wow..... Jason sounds awesome & natural with Rivers on these two songs. Not to mention the fun & charisma they both brought. Very organic...great moment captured for the books. No agenda, just two guys killing it. undeniable good vibes.
During that tour when rivers didn’t want to play the guitar they should’ve just had jason come out and play guitar instead of having pat play and some other guy play drums.
That's an amazing idea! Maybe for Blues 30th they could get Jason to come tour with them
Bro they should've.
for real!
yeah that was weird. maybe pat did want to just really play guitar and pushed for it? also during memories tour it would have been cool if they gave Jason a spot to at least appear during the encore during the songs he actually appeared on so he got a taste of the big stage. oh well. Jason is still awesome!
4:45 whoever is whistling is a champ
Jason Cropper's band, Chopper One, had some great tunes, most notably "Touch My Fuzz." I highly recommend checking it out.
Loved this song as a kid, never thought I’d end up living in the garage. Hits harder listening to this now coming up on my 21st
The look at 4:58. You can TELL they’re enjoying it 🙌🏼
Jason is criminally underrated as a singer. His harmonies are perfect
Greatest singalong band of our generation. Very few bands have fans that sing along with every word, with the same or more passion and soul than the lead singer. Awesome moment- Jason enjoyed himself
This has more Weezer vibes than any of the Full band shows in the last 15 years. Very nostalgic indeed, just so heartwarming :) The chemistry between then is amazing both personally as musically, their voice blend so well! They should write and record a new acoustic album together ❤❤❤❤
Weezer needs to have a show with Jason and Matt.
I needed a little jason today
I love this song. It's been on my playlist for the longest time. "and I love everyone waiting their for me yes I do, I do".
This video speaks volumes about comradery in music.
This is my favorite Weezer song! Wish I was there 😭
The Ghost of Kurt Cobain Kurt cobain sucks ......so his ghost suck even more.
Fuck you, Tim Doyle!! 😡
That has to be a great feeling for a musician- to have people at your shows singing along with every word- not just with the big hits but with the deeper tracks that were never released as singles.
This warms my heart ❤️
What an awesome video.
The energy in that room must have been great, go Rivers your an icon.
Rivers is so akward but... It's ok... Because... He's Rivers.
Luke Reed He's so awkward I've often wondered if it's an act to go along with the "character" but I think it's legitimate.
Johnny Guitar ....play it again
@@10smackers88 patrolling the mojave...

Crying happy tears watching this whole set. Would’ve given anything to be there.
These songs sound so good. I got the chills.
Well, now this brings back some memories. Jason!!!
that the good shit
My 14 yr old kids favorite band is weezer. This gives me hope this world is not yet lost.
Freakin yeah! Best with Jason!
Now that right there is the real Weezer
I love this song so much
I would kill just to have a ticket there
Best version I've heard
In the garage is a gem of a song
I was member 1303 in the original fanclub ;)
Beautiful!
The only time I ever saw a rock slide LIVE was done by Rivers. He did at least 30 of them that night.
I meant on his knees with his body
Rivers did describe himself as a B grade shredder before he started Weezer
Dude! Thanks for this whole show!! Shows what a great artist he is.
this is beautiful
Jason looks so happy!
So good!
It's unfortunate that jason never made it into the band during their success. But that's life
I've got a Dungeon Master's Guide
I've got a 12-sided die
I've got Kitty Pryde
And Nightcrawler too
Waiting there for me
Yes I do, I do
I've got posters on the wall
My favorite rock group KISS
I've got Ace Frehley
I've got Peter Criss
Waiting there for me
Yes I do, I do
In the garage
I feel safe
No one cares about my ways
In the garage
Where I belong
No one hears me sing this song
In the garage
In the garage
I've got an electric guitar
I play my stupid songs
I write these stupid words
And I love every one
Waiting there for me
Yes I do, I do
In the garage
I feel safe
No one cares about my ways

amazing
watched this a dozen times
I can't like this enough.
This makes me kinda sad. What could've been for Jason :(
This is absolutely awesome.
I want to hear this again!
Imagine if for Weezer’s 30 year anniversary that they play all of Blue with MattPat, Jason, and Rivers then Pinkerton with Brian instead of Jason
YEAH !
GOD I WISH I WAS THERE T_____T
Really wish I had have been there! Jason looks like he never even missed a beat! Amazing Stuff! Soooo when is Matt joining in?
This is so awesome.
he should join weezer again, imagine a 5 piece weezer
Did you memorize that set list? What happened to #17? I'm kind of upset I left to go back home for work today and missed Rivers hanging out afterwards but the show was so awesome and I had a great time. I was so hyped up I had a hard time falling asleep.
Always been my favorite Weezer song!
love!
So cool they remained friends despite being fired from the band.
The Blue is not only the best Weezer but one of the absolutely best of the 90’s. Words can’t really give justice to or explain how magnificent it really is and was when this record dropped.
Let’s just say there is No one Nobody boppin around right now in 2020, that is doing anything remotely this good. And that includes current Weezer. We’re in a different time now when people are stripping our culture away and all the things that make us all as a collective band together and create soul soothing, fundamentally amazing music that can elevate us to limitless potential. What is your thought. Like for instance do you remember the last clothing trend that took the country by storm? And wasn’t just copied or bitten style from decades past! Our love and grasp on culture has been slowly beaten down, until eventually everything is CANCELLED and we have no funny movies no good music. And whoopsie Daisy, We have none left. Cause we’re way better thann this.
Yes and it’s no coincidence that most famous bands and stuff now are from the uk
And movies can’t even be funny anymore cause everything is offensive now
I agree that the blue album is head and shoulders better than any of there other albums! Cover to cover it's amazing!!!
happy birthday rivers!
Like to full set? Thanks!
Epic
Any Weezer nerds know why Jason left the band?
taken from his wikipedia page:
"In a 2014 oral history of Weezer involving members of the band (including Cropper) and various associates, it was revealed that while recording their debut album in New York, Cropper learned that Amy Wellner, his girlfriend in Los Angeles, was pregnant.

When Wellner showed up unannounced in New York with no place to stay, Cuomo considered it the final straw and informed Cropper that he had to leave the band."
Because Rivers rerecorded all Jasons parts
@@DaveThomson That didn't happen until after Jason was fired. Get your facts straight.
Adorable 4:48
the real rocker
2:40, Jonas ...
Jason can sing! Fuck yeah

As much as i love brian, a part of me kinda wishes Jason had stayed with Weezer
Cropper? I barely know her!
3:24
Def better acoustic. And I love the original
Jason has so much more of a personality compared to Brian when he plays live, so much better!
Iams Box but he has no sass
Yeah Brian has got PREMIUM sass
Brian is pretty badass. Remember seeing him on the pinkerton tour, windmilling
Brian takes the load dude does so much live its amazing how under appreciated he is
Anyone here from season 3 of the bear
Matt Sharp!
Rivers was singing about safe spaces before it was cool
3:53 try to find someone who would look at you like this.
3.24
7:40 no one else
3:34 is where it starts
This guy got kicked sadly but he brought me paperface
:)
:’)
Could the crowd yell anymore lame stuff
Much more likeable than their current guitar guy
I don't know... both are great with different personalities. Brian is an amazing guitarist !:!
No way. Brian rules!
They should just have 3 guitarist lmao
4ppleZ that’s overkill with a band like Weezer
ok but you do gotta admit he looks fresh on the blue album cover
