Favorite Weezer album, Blue or Pinkerton? Las Vegans don’t have to choose. On January 21, the Rivers Cuomo-fronted power-pop band will play both records in their entirety back-to-back at the Joint. Tickets go on sale Saturday at noon, with prices starting at $45.

This year Weezer has also played both albums straight through in Los Angeles, San Francisco and Boston, with Chicago slated for early January—but those were all booked as two-night stands, 1994’s Blue Album (aka, the first of Weezer’s three self-titled records) one night, 1996’s Pinkerton the next. Vegas becomes the first city to get both at the same show.

Weezer last played Las Vegas on October 1, but that Mirage pool gig was in support of September release Hurley, not part of the “Memories” full-album mini-tour.
