The Poojer Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 3rd time i have seen him, 3 seperate years. This guy does not disappoint, he is one hell of a showman, and his band and himself are topnotch musicians. I know we had this same discussion last year. If he comes to your area, DO NOT discount him as a side show, he puts on a great show, costume changes and all, with AL TV videos to fill the gaps. Go see him, bring the kids, he is a fun family outing...that is all
Fezmid Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 I'll second this! I've seen him 3 or 4 times - and all of the shows have been awesome. He came into the crowd at one of the shows, singing one of his "love songs." It was a riot.
The Poojer Posted July 9, 2008 Author Posted July 9, 2008 was it the song with all the innuendo's? he did that tonight...pretty much the same show as last year, but thats ok, its worth seeing again I'll second this!

ofiba Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 Saw him once. Best concert I've been to. He's a true performer.

Rubes Posted July 12, 2008 Posted July 12, 2008 Did he sing his old classic, "Baby Likes Burping"? That was my first introduction to Weird Al back in the '70s when he was on the Doctor Demento show. I had a friend in California tape record a show and send it to me.
PromoTheRobot Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 Count me in. I've seen him 4 times and he is terrific. Despite his rep as a clown he can nail it live and his band is tighter than Ann Wilson's jeans. 10 out of 10 in entertainment value. He's playing NH this Tuesday and I'm going. PTR
justnzane Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 nice. now that i have a job I'll be able to go see him. I missed him last time he was in buffalo
The Poojer Posted July 19, 2008 Author Posted July 19, 2008 thanks for the insightful reply, but alas, my tickets were free....so no money wasted on my end, and even if i did pay, i would not have considered it a waste of money What waste of Money to see that clown!
Mike In Illinois Posted July 20, 2008 Posted July 20, 2008 I've got tickets to see him here in Illinois in early August ($10 per ticket!!!). I cannot wait to see the show. I work with a guy that actually won a look-alike contest at one of the national conventions.... dead ringer for him when he puts on the curly wig and moustache (old Al).

I work with a guy that actually won a look-alike contest at one of the national conventions.... dead ringer for him when he puts on the curly wig and moustache (old Al). I had a friend in high school (back in the early 90s) who looked just like Al -- without trying. There were a couple of times when people would even come up to him and say that. Good times.

Was he in AV club, glee club, and even the chess team?
Mike In Illinois Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 Bump, because I just got back from seeing Al in concert. Great show, the band played a solid two hours including "Alburquerque" as an encore. The atmosphere was great and it's a family-friendly show (with a few grownup references along the way). To repeat what's already been said, GO SEE WEIRD AL YANKOVIC IF HE'S PLAYING NEAR YOU! that is all
The Poojer Posted August 10, 2008 Author Posted August 10, 2008 "Albequrque"(sp) is so fun to watch and listen to...i also love how he and the band do that little exchange after "Yoda" where they all make the different noises in unison..they go on for about 5 minutes and the timing is fabulous. Glad you enjoyed it Bump, because I just got back from seeing Al in concert. Great show, the band played a solid two hours including "Alburquerque" as an encore.

Do you have any Bear Claws? Wait a minute, I'll go check!

justnzane Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 Did he play "Canadian Idiot" or was it all parody songs? And do I look like some frostbitten hosehead? I never learned my alphabet from A to Zed
