As I've previously mentioned here on Yeah Right, Rivers Cuomo didn't do a standard tour for his recent solo efforts -- Alone I and Alone II -- he did a hootenanny tour (Weezer did similar shows following the release of the red album). Rivers did a bunch of small gigs, with 150-200 fans, invited attendees to bring along some instruments, and they all jammed out together. As a huge =w= fan, I'd been curious as to what the hootenanny sounded like. Luckily, Rivers recorded one such show at a Long Beach, CA record shop and released the show as a DVD, Not Alone -- Rivers Cuomo & Friends Live at Fingerprints. The results are pretty impressive. Check out this clip of "El Scorcho" off Pinkerton.
