I almost shit my pants when they started playing Sliver.

Weezer has an amazing stage presence and are full of surprises!!! Along with the covers (Nirvana's Silver and Oasis' What's the story Morning Glory) they switched up the vocalists for many of their songs, jumped on a trampoline, Rivers did soccer ball tricks when the balls would make their way on stage, played guitar behind his head, slid around on his knees throughout the show and invited fans to perform on stage with their own instruments for two songs, it was great!!!

Awesome cover. I never thought I'd hear a band do a good Nirvana cover. Let alone Weezer. Not that I don't like Weezer or anything.

weezer doing a nirvana cover... i think ive died and gone to heaven

@abbylm23 Well they used the lines in Heart Song that reference Nirvana to introduce a cover of a song by nirvana.

"Back in 1991 I wasn't having any fun

'til my roommate said "come on" and put a brand new record on

Had a baby on it, he was naked on it

then I heard the chords that broke the chains I had up on me "

The record was Nevermind, released in 1991 with an image of a naked baby in a pool on the cover.

dang that was a nice cover.

Weezer was my first concert ever in the mid 90's.

I grew up listening to Nirvana, Weezer, 311, sublime and such.

I will always regret never seeing Nirvana in Concert. I wish was born earlyer.

I will Always regret that.

no es nirvana y menos kurt pero como fan de la banda me agrada ver q la leyenda sigue viva y les salio bastante bien :D weezer rocks!

[abbylm23]

It's wild how they don't play Heart Songs live and they do this instead

[IpodOdog]

Nice TFC jersey!

[LeslieChimes]

Yeah, this was an awesome surprise live!

i thought it is impossible for human beings to get bored of sliver, now i know that it's merely improbable..are all the audiences didn't lived through the 90's?? an amazing cover though..clearly weezer's one of the bands influenced by nirvana and other "grunge" bands..
