Weezer has announced a October 5, 2010 release date for the deluxe reissue of 1996′s Pinkerton. So far, the band has noted that the album will go the deluxe/expanded route like their previous album, 2004′s Weezer [Deluxe Edition]. The album is available on Amazon now, but no details on the contents are listed. Of some note to the album’s many fans is that bassist Brian Bell is “praying” for a tour featuring the album in its entirety:
We have a reissue of ‘Pinkerton’ coming out with new packaging. And I’m praying a ‘Pinkerton’ tour, where we’ll play all the songs off ‘Pinkerton’, soon.
The band will be releasing their next studio album, Hurley, September 14, 2010 on their new, indie home, Epitaph Records.

i believe alternative press reported a couple weeks ago that they were attempting to map out a tour that played 2 nights in each venue. night 1, blue album front to back; night 2, pinkerton front to back. i’m not really a huge fan of “let’s duplicate our album on stage” type shows, but i’d totally make an exception for weezer, especially those two albums.
discuss.
This is Fantastic! Gonna have to start squirreling away some dough for that.
I recently saw Megadeth play Rust in Peace from front to back. It was epic. Just so amazing.
I saw them in july, and it was probably one of the best performances i’ve seen. Seeing the whole blue album, and pinkerton live would be the best.
