He’s phenomenal live and if anyone has a chance to see him, they should.

He was actually the first concert I ever attended. It was my birthday in 5th or 6th grade and I just remember how damn funny he was.

> So would you say we should go see him when he comes to town in a few months? I heard he’s doing his original works, no parodies, in this concert. BTW his opening act is Emo Philips; I might go just to see Emo. He’s looking much older, but is only three years older than Weird Al.

I’d be sad if he didn’t do any of his famous stuff, but it still sounds worthwhile. Especially with Emo there.

A friend of mine saw him a couple of years ago; he loved it. The whole crowd (outdoor concert) loved it.

Apparently he does a costume change for just about every song.
