-----------------------------------------

This was my first time seeing Weird Al, and it was a blast. It's a multimedia experience: during the many costume changes (after almost every song), he shows various video clips, mostly his famous celebrity "interviews" from Al TV. There was also a trailer for a fake Weird Al biopic starring Aaron Paul, Patton Oswalt, Olivia Wilde, and Gary Cole that was hilarious, as well as clips from TV shows where Al has been mentioned or had a cameo. The songs themselves were great, of course. He puts on one hell of a show, that's for sure. He rode on stage on a Segway for "White & Nerdy," and had Stormtroopers from the local 501st Legion chapter join him onstage for "The Saga Begins." Long story short, go see him if you have a chance.

No Truck Drivin' Song? Or Albuquerque?

Don't think he's ever done Truck Drivin Song. He's got plenty better to choose from anyways. Albuquerque was done as an encore a few tours ago for the first time but hasn't been played since.

I saw this tour last summer and the set looks to be the same. He really puts on a great show. Al and his band put as much time and energy into their live show as any band out there. No opener, just two plus hours of Weird Al and his insanity, what can be more fun than that?

Pshhh. That's one of the best songs I've ever heard. Period.
