I saw him last night. I went as an afterthought. I've been to a ton of concerts, but nothing prepared me for this. He gives one hell of a show!!
I also couldn't believe how many well-known songs he's done. I fogot about a ton of them and even though he played 2 1/2 hours he still missed some.
Did a major diss on Eminem with a fake interview using clips from some Eminem interview. He clearly was upset about not getting the go ahead to make a video for Couch Potato.
Highlights included Amish Paradise, Fat, Pretty Fly for a Rabbi, All About the Pentiums, and of course the American Pie/Star Wars song. Lots of production and really funny TV spots when they were getting ready for the next number.
Songs not played, Like A Surgeon, Another One Starts the Bus, Yabba Dabba Doo Now. Just about everything else was either played in entirety or as part of a medley.

Did he do lots of Polka medleys? Those are usually among my favorites on his albums, and they must be a riot live.

Weird Al rocks! I used to think I was so cool listening to my sister's tapes of his. That was even before I bought my first cassette single!

I've been to three Weird Al concerts...one of them was a recent one promoting Poodle Hat, the other two were during the Bad Hair Day tour. Al certainly puts on a great show!
In all of the shows I went to, he performed the polka medley from the album that he was supporting - "Alternative Polka" from BHD and "Angry White Boy Polka" from PH. The former is my favorite Weird Al polka.
By the way, I was really sad to hear about his parents dying from carbon monoxide poisoning. I'm a huge Al fan and in any case that's a terrible way to die for anyone. So, my heart goes out to Al.
