Whoever mixed this deserves an award

It's pretty cool that Weezer played at Spotify Studios. Weezer has had billions of listeners and made hundreds of dollars on Spotify.

This and Greenday Dookie, were the very first CD's that I bought as a kid. Good times.

I remember running down the hallway screaming "OMG MOM I FOUND A VIDEO ON THE COMPUTER. DID YOU KNOW YOU COULD HAVE VIDEOS ON THE COMPUTER" and the entire family gathered at the computer to watch the video for Buddy Holly in like 420p and we were amazed. Core memory for sure. Epic moment and an epic song.

crazy to think this album is as old to us as the first few beatles albums were at the time

Im a black guy that grew up in a predominately white small town in Mississippi. I had this album and burned scratches into the disc i loved it so much and white kids at my school couldnt fathom me loving this album so much. Great is great. And it reaches who it reaches.

First day of middle school I wore a Weezer shirt and I saw this girl that was wearing the exact same shirt. We looked right at each other, pointed, and said “Weezer!” I’m over 40 now and we’ve been good friends ever since.

This Audio Engineers really outdid themselves on this one. This sounds INCREDIBLE

Props to Brian and Karl recreating the opening dialogue, that’s commitment

I have never in my life heard Weezer this clearly before. Hats off to the engineers who pulled this off. Incredible audio quality!

I’m also 54. I also worked at tower records in LA in 89 (Westwood store). I heard the blue album when it came out and instantly fell in love with it. Around that time I also fell in love with a girl. She had a sister that had a two year old son. As time went by …and by default …I became that kids role model. He was like a sponge that soaked up everything about me. I taught him to play guitar.. and by the time he was in high school he’d become a truly gifted guitarist. Btw..I married his aunt and became his uncle. Then one night ….randomly…tragically….he died in a car accident. He was wearing an orange Weezer shirt when he died. And so …I have always wanted a weezer shirt ..but I could never find one. It’s funny but …Weezer ..was a common ground for me and my nephew. I love The minutemen, Bad Brains, Fishbone, X, Black Sabbath, Hendrix, the Beatles, Tom waits, Rakim, KRS one, T-Rex, the velvet underground etc etc And my nephew loved ..Minus the bear, Built to spill, Death cab, Band of Horses and bands like blink 182 and rage against the machine when he was a kid. But Weezer…..Weezer is where we came together. Weezer was foundational. And so thank you 🙏 ..thank you so much ❤️ Your music had an enormously positive and profound impact on my nephews life. And mine too. And on our relationship. His name is Micah Lira. There’s one vid of him playing guitar on KZfaq. It’s just a random tune he wrote. He was planning on using his KZfaq channel just to save music pieces he wrote so he wouldn’t forget them. Of course I cherish it. Btw years later me and his aunt had a daughter. And of course …she grew up loving Weezer. My wife took her to see you guys. She cried lol. Anyway….Viva Weezer ⚡️ Love ya ❤

"I wasn't aware of what a hit was, I wasn't thinking about a single, we were just trying to make a good record" rc🤘🤓🤘

There is something amazing about the Blue album. Despite listening to it over 1,000 times. It still sounds completely fresh and original as the first listen in 1994.

My dad would play Weezer in the car during long drives and it became one of my favorite albums over the years and I am starting college in the fall and I am still listening to blue album. Thanks Weezer.

The audio mixing engineer/s for the bandsound deserves a reward.

The audio quality of this video is phenomenal. 🖤

The first three albums I ever bought with my own money was back in 1994. I picked up Weezer - Blue Album, Green Day - Dookie and the Offspring - Smash. Seeing what the music industry has become over the last 25 years I’m truly blessed to have grown up with such great music in the 80s and 90s.

I always love when the mix separate the instrument because you can put a headphone, close your eyes and imagine yourself in the middle of the band and feel each little detail in the music ...so each time you hear the song, you can focus in any of them ....

I wish they could have gotten Matt Sharp to come back for this. I was hoping they would play the album front to back. I love every song.

Just had my first kid literally today. Named him rivers. Wild this happened to be released on the same day. Also crazy that one of the nurses recognized the name and asked if it was from weezer, and then when she went back and looked, saw them on this exact day back in 2013. Crazy coincidences.

Close your eyes. It’s the 90s. The air is fresh and you’ve got a concert to go see a band no one’s heard of. These guys sound as they did back in the day.

Watching River's soul die during Surf Wax as he instantly regrets letting the producers talk him into letting Barry Johnson ruin the best song on the album is peak 2020's internet.

I’m 43 this year. Blue was the first cassette I played until it broke. 30 years later and I still have the cd in heavy rotation in my car. It’s a straight up 90s masterpiece and it makes me happy as heck to hear it played so brilliantly. Thanks Weezer!

Windows 95 was exactly where I discovered Weezer, I only 6 or 7 years old, no idea what happy days was and literally just thought they were an old band haha.

I was in Best Buy and saw this listening station with the album. Couldn't believe how good it was and bought the CD that day. I've been a fan ever since.

My daughter and I went to their concert last year and it was one of the BEST I've ever seen!! It was great to share one of my favorite bands with my daughter, who also loves their music. I highly recommend seeing Weezer live if you ever have the chance.

I absolutely love Karl, Suzy, and Brian doing the intro in Undone!! 🩵🩵🩵

Rivers sounds so great still. Vocally to hit all those notes still at 54 is impressive.

Totally cool. Incredible. Perfect. Just keep playing. WOW!!! I actually shared this video with my real musician friends to anger them. ...I pulled their sweaters. Perfect!!!

OMG! This unlocked a core memory. I am 49 years old and love this band. Holy moly! Such great songs. I vote this the best KZfaq video of 2024.

I’ve been in I.T. for 30 years, rolled out Windows 95, huge Weezer fan and I had no idea about the video.

According to Spotify standards, the band was paid $0.00006 per song performed. Nice.

You all have filled my heart with joy. Thank you for your kind words!

this took me back to the good times, thanks everyone who was a part of this

I don't normally leave comments that express how i'm emotionally feeling after watching the video but I just couldn't resist this time. It made me think about when I was in high school and this album came out, I played it religiously everyday, learning every lyric and singing along loudly in my room in full blast. It was a perfect album and even at that tender age, I knew it in my heart. The memory of experiencing this band and music has changed from just a kid discovering exciting music to an emotionally resonant and touching life experience. Now, as a new father, I think about if my kids can have a similar type of experience when they get older. The excitement I had, opening the CD up and studying the minimal booklet inside. The ability to go on a journey and listen to an album all the way through and not just listen to "singles". The silliness of singing the wrong lyrics because I heard it wrong and only later realizing what was really said. My eyes tear up to think about the musical landscape now and what the artificial future may bring. I deeply hope that there will be some sort of course adjustment to where we are heading but that's out of my hands. I just want my kids to be able to think back to their childhood and have their own weezer moment like I had. Thanks Weezer.

For anyone that doesn’t know Barry Johnson is the vocalist/guitarist for Joyce Manor, another fantastic band that you guys should listen to.

Rewatching, I'm struck by the sincerity when the guys talk about being so grateful to still be making music together. Absolutely love Weezer- the best band ever.

Brings me back to High School instantly. I still remember the cd case, crack in the middle from opening it up so many times. What a sound

the first time i saw Weezer play Say It Ain't So live i cried and this song still hits so hard for me

Blue album is a masterpiece. One of the handful of albums that you can play start to finish... Classic.

This was a real treat! Thank you for making this! Happy 30th Bluey!

30 years, France, I remember listening to "undone - the sweater song" on the radio ("fun radio" was the name of the radio station), and i was blown away for the rest of my life. I still think this is the coolest song ever recorded. The blue album is in my personnal top ten. I own the vinyl and i still play it as soon as i can.

Brian Bell adds so much sonically to Weezer Every nuanced sound is him. Vocal harmonies. Trading off rhythm guitar and lead riffs.

Bro, I'm 40. This album means so much to me. It's influenced me musically and, just in general, more than I can ever express. Thank you guys from the bottom of my heart and every ounce of my soul. Shit fucking rules, yo. Also, you guys sounded amazing, here. As always. Much love. Be well.

One of those albums that even 30 years later regularly gets a spin .... Thanks for this the audio is glorious!

My friends and I created a Blue Album tribute band called “The Blue Album Group” in 2008 and played about 15 of my favorite shows as a musician over the course of 2 years. It was epic. Thanks for the plugs on the website Karl!

6:27 The smile of playing music with your friends. Maaan I miss that

I can’t believe this is a 30 year old album! Would still hold up if it came out today

Insane quality. Grew up listening to these guys, amazing performance!

Wished there was room for one more on that sofa... so stoked u guys did this!

The Audio is surprisingly so Good

Stole this CD from my older brothers room and listened to it over and over while I mowed endless lawns on an air force base in Louisiana. Thanks boys Edit: (this was 2001 and I was contemplating how to get the girl next door the whole time)

I got very excited when I realised Barry from Joyce Manor had been sitting there the whole time. Loved seeing him sing with Weezer.

The rehersal pic in the récord is amazing!!! I FELT THE ENERGY and all the vibe Just looking at it and kinda imaging the band playing as I heard the songs of the album

One of only a few albums in existence that has not one bit of filler. From the opening to the end each track makes you go ‘yes!’ and you just can’t help but sing along.

Watching this today is like if the Beatles had done a live performance of Hard Days Night the year the Blue Album came out

Glad I came across this video! I recently found my Blue Album cd! Talk about some great memories.

So many good memories back then when I was in college. I always had the blue album on my walkman. Weezer songs take me back to that time. Im 48 now. Im just teary eyed watching you guys play your songs again. Thank you for your songs Weezer.❤

Seeing Barry just have so much fun with singing with Weezer just makes me so happy :,^)

My mom bought me this tape when i was 9. It has been with me through my adolescence, my teens, and now as an almost 40 year old man. Thank you weezer.

Barry singing and actually bringing energy back to a weezer performance was incredible 😍

Listening to songs from the blue album always brings back so many memories and makes me memotional. Thank you Weezer for keeping playing.

Whoa! They sound fantastic live!

Saw Weezer in my hometown just a few months after this record dropped, they were opening for Live. Rivers was sick so they only played 5-6 songs, but it was glorious. Me and my little brother were right up front, and left halfway through Live. We were there 100% to see Weezer.

My friend and I wrote a letter (remember letters?) to the address on the cd case asking for the lyrics. Weeks later, we received them. They were handwritten (a copy, or course) and we were “so stoked”! Wish I’d kept them.

OMFG this has the best audio mix I've heard in a long time. Grab your best headphones and turn it up. Cant believe its been 30 years.

30 years later and Rivers’ voice is pure as the driven snow.

Seeing Brian Bell finally age has me ready for the urn.

We listened to this literally thousands of times, knew every word, every note. The sound track of my youth, a connection to a much simpler time

Buddy Holly was the first CD single I ever got as a kid, finally got to see Weezer live recently and they were fantastic! Happy birthday Blue Album!

this is so different, yet so good!! i've always hated it when stuff sounds different then what they originally did, but i absolutely LOVE this!! happy 30th, blue!

Rivers is one of the best artists of all time - all while being so humble, kind-hearted, and grateful. His melodies are timeless and his songwriting is incredible. Not to mention that he's still going, writing every day, and still sounds and looks the same. He's also one of the few artists that is dedicated to his fanbase. We salute you, Captain Cuomo!

what a joy to discover this, still got my original weezer blue album on cd🍻

This is incredible! The band sounds great, it's all beautifully mixed/mastered, and the footage is terrific! What a treat! 👍

They are rock and roll . I love the riffs and the color palate. Most of all those harmonies and drums

I was a senior in high school when this album came out and I don’t think it’s ever left my rotation since

Thanks for pulling this together ❤

You fellas still sound fantastic! I remember it like was yesterday.

Weezer is a timeless band. 30 years on and they still sound just as fresh as they did when this album came out. The mix sounds fantastic, but let's take a moment to appreciate how River's has a voice that hasn't really weathered or changed.

When I was very young I rememeber one night while I was driving with my dad we were scanning channels on the radio and The Sweater Song was playing. I watched my Dad completely light up and sing every word. It was awesome. Love that song so much.

This is fan-friggin-tastic. And thank you, Rivers, for pronouncing Ric Ocasek's name the way he did

Senior in college and this album and so many artists that year. Special time! Will never forget it.

Fell in love w/ this band last year and grateful they still rockin it 30 years later. Wishing I can listen to them playing Only In Dreams live 🫶🏻

Cannot wait to see this on tour in September!!

I couldn't help myself, who else spontaneously busted out that Surf Wax chorus? LET'S GO!

This is awesome. I'm so happy I found it.

I was sixteen in high school when the blue album came out. I would jam to it after school and with the boys in the band and we eventually ended up playing it live at our pep rally. Great times!

30 years after and they still sound amazing 🤘🏼

I've loved this band for so many years

Brings back memories, pretty cool! Sounds great. Thank you!!

Windows 95 was on my first PC and the Buddy Holly video was my introduction to Weezer. I listened to it while I played Hover! Best days.

SOMEONE GET MY INHALER I'M WEEZING

My first concert was Weezer opening for No Doubt playing this album! We waited by the stage door and Rivers signed my ticket after the show-such an amazing night.

I've been needing this for years...

The sound engineer the real hero. Amazing.

The mixing on this recording is absolutely incredible. And enormous props to Rivers and Brian for sounding damn near indistinguishable from the album cut on all the vocals. Holy shit.

This album means a lot to me. My early teenage years. Just adored it, and have been going back ever since. Love that this happened!

30 years....this album has my coming of age in its DNA, very personal special music and this sounds incredible. Respect
