I saw him several years ago. He and his group did a powerhouse of a show. He was funny, crazy, energetic.
And his parents had died less than a week earlier. He’s a “show must go on” kind of guy. Quoted through his publisher, he said that performing(until the funeral) kept him from crying.
I love Wierd Al.
From his albums I already knew he was a talented singer, musician, and writer. So the thing the surprised me most when I saw him in concert is how well he can dance.
I saw him earlier this year with my 11 year old daughter - he did a great show, and I think we are both now fans for life! . He and his band are awesomely talented musicians as well as great performers. Definitely worth seeing.
I saw Weird Al on the Touring With Scissors and on Poodle Hat.
From anyrose’s link: Aug 16 Washington DC Warner Theatre
I’ll be there!
They did do the “vocal gymnastics” during one song - it may have been “Yoda” - I don’t recall which song it was now. That was pretty impressive just on its own - “tight” is indeed the word for it.
You know, Al is said to be an extreme perfectionist - maybe we could flush him out by badly mis-stating something about him, forcing him to spring out of the bushes and correct the mis-conceptions. 
I saw him back in 2000 on the Running With Scissors tour. It’s too bad the cloest he’s coming to me now is either NH or MA. 
I have a ticket to the show. Not sure if I can go but will be trying to…
Let me know if you go, we can have a micro-Dopefest.
I saw him years ago. He puts on a great live show.
Looks like he’s coming to Cincinnati, but the show’s going to be at King’s Island. That sucks. It costs way too much, is ways to crowded, and the open air middle of the day setting kinda diminishes the show. I’d rather see him in a concert hall.
Of all the things…He’s playing Friday in Pigeon Forge. Not Memphis, not Nashville, not Chattanooga, not Knoxville. He’s playing at the equivalent of a wart on a frog’s ass.
Weird.
Dangit, why won’t he come to WV??? I am jealous of y’all who are getting to see him. He rocketh.
Yea, I saw him at one of the casinos in Tunica (Mississippi) a couple years ago. I was hoping he’s be a bit closer.
Weird Al has made a ringtone you can buy from Sprint(and possibly others) which is spoken. It goes like this.
And right now Sprint’s giving away one ring tone per customer if you use the promo code “SprintSpeed” so you can be white, nerdy, and cheap!
Enjoy,
Steven
Hallboy is a big fan, and I’m sorry we missed his show in Philly. Looking at his schedule, we may just have to drive to DC.
Did he do the Star Wars: The Phantom Menace song to the tune of “American Pie”? I love that.
He did, and it was (in my opinion) the highlight of the evening.
ETA: Except for “Canadian Idiot” - no surprise, the crowd ate that one up with a spoon.
I’m seeing him September 20 in NYC…I’ve seen him about 15 times in the past, on every tour (including the 5 show 2002 tour) since Alapalooza, and they put on a FANTASTIC job.
more info please - that’s not on his tour dates page
I just got back from his Washington DC show, and it was fantastic. Opened with a polka medley, encored with “Albuquerque”, and everything in between was incredible.
Darth Vader holding up his lightsaber and swaying it back and forth like a lighter, during the Star Wars song - priceless.
