Weezer Releasing Live Movie: ‘Weezer’s Voyage to the Blue Planet: The Concert Film’
Say it is so. Weezer announced on Thursday (Sept. 26) that they are hosting a special two-night screening of a live concert film shot in the midst of the current tour celebrating the 30th anniversary of their 1994 debut, commonly referred to as The Blue Album.
Weezer’s Voyage to the Blue Planet: The Concert Film was filmed at the group’s Sept. 10 show at Boston’s TD Garden — where they played the entire Blue Album and other fan favorites — and it will livestream on Moment.co on Oct. 13 and 14. Fans can buy tickets for $13 through Friday (Sept. 27) at 3 p.m. ET, before the price bumps up to $16, then $18 on day of show.
The Blue period celebration rolls on with an upcoming 30th anniversary edition of the album, which will feature 36 unreleased tracks, due out on Nov. 1. The Super Deluxe edition will sprawl across four LPs, a 10-inch EP and a 7-inch single; a $400 Ultra Limited Edition version will come wrapped in a signed sweater.
In addition to the beloved classics from the original album, including “My Name Is Jonas,” “Buddy Holly,” “Undone – The Sweater Song,” “Say It Ain’t So” and “Holiday,” the second LP features the “Kitchen Tape Demos” with a number of previously unreleased versions of the original songs and other rarities such as “Thief, You’ve taken all that was me,” “Let’s sew our pants together” and “Paperface.” LP three has early versions of the album’s songs, from rehearsal demos to practice and garage takes, while the four LP is packed with early live recordings.
Weezer are currently on the North American portion of their Voyage to the Blue Planet arena tour with guests Flaming Lips and Dinosaur Jr. The next show is tonight at the Moody Center in Austin, TX.
