Weezer - The Lion and the Witch (EP)

This EP was a limited edition release (on CD anyway - it's on iTunes and other online music stores now) only sold in mom and pop record stores, so it's inessential in nature. It does manage to show off Weezer's abilities live during their time touring behind Maladroit. Six songs done live: "Dope Nose," "Island in the Sun," "Falling for You," "Death and Destruction" "El Scorcho" and "Holiday." In all, the performances are relaxed, with Rivers joking around between songs and messing up the lyrics on "El Scorcho." None of the songs differ so much from the album versions, aside from being a little "heavier." So really, it works best as a memento from 2002.
