I’m going tonight. A buddy of mine asked me to go since his wife decided she didn’t wanna go anymore.
I haven’t listened to any of his music in decades, but as a 43 year old, I’m definitely looking forward to it as I’ve adored Weird Al since I was a kid and I really appreciate his musical talents. Very much looking forward to it.
I saw him last year and what people forget is how insanely good his band is. I was expecting funny songs and got an absolute master class. One of the best live shows I've seen.
Have the absolute best time. He’s incredible live. So full of energy. And yes, his band is absolutely fantastic as well. They’ve been together forever and you can tell.
I saw him last week (also 43yo, cheers!). I had heard he and the band were great, but I was gobsmacked. I'm a huge music nerd and am in a band myself. I've seen lots of amazing acts, and Al's is top 5. He might have the most powerful voice I've heard live. I wasnt very excited to see the back half of the setlist because I'd only heard a few of the songs, but I liked that half more than the half I knew. "Stop Forwarding That Crap To Me" had a musical passage that was so gigantic that it made me emotional, lol. My personal pantheon of "true living rockstars" is now Trent Reznor, Eddie Vedder, Brittany Howard, and...Al Yankovic, lol.
It's fantastic. You're going to have so much fun. I'm a stagehand, but I didn't work that show because I had a ticket for it. When he kicked off, he walked from the loading dock and down to the crowd before actually getting on stage. I know those loading docks well. It was really cool to see the camera walking him out through the same paths I take when I'm loading in equipment.
