In 2010, Weezer embarked on the Memories Tour, playing Blue and Pinkerton in their entirety. [98] Cuomo said of the tour: "The last time we played all of those [ Pinkerton] songs, they went over like a lead balloon. And I just remember that feeling of just total rejection. And then to see 5,500 people singing along to every last word through every song on the album, even the really difficult ones, was incredibly validating for me."
