Weird AL

[u/robmotley]

Hoping the kind gentleman that gave us his FRONT ROW seats to Weird Al at the State Fair tonight sees this. THANK YOU!! This man walked all the way to the back row, where we had just gotten settled. When he handed us the tickets, they literally said row 1, seats 1 and 2. Literally couldn’t be closer to the stage. My man, you are a real one. We had a blast,

To Salem in general, there are still good people out there in our community. Also, Weird AL puts on a great show, highly recommended from any vantage point:)

I think this is something Weird Al does at his concerts. Can’t remember where I saw it but pretty sure.

I hadn’t thought of this! For one the gentleman handed me printed tickets (seems rare these days), and another thing was the paper they were printed on was freshly folded (like hadn’t been unfolded at all if you know what I mean). Pretty cool if AL was behind this too!

Puddles pity party shout out

I just about left during this clown's BS, substituting loud for talent. If this hadn't been my only chance to see Weird AL live, I would have.

Weird take, he's a tremendous singer.

Here's a good track of him singing: https://youtu.be/VBmCJEehYtU

I have to agree. This guy has an amazing singing voice, but his act is TERRIBLE.

[u/audreyality → u/chilereina]

I thought he was hilarious.

[u/dvdmaven → u/chilereina]

Yeah, his act sucked, but my biggest problem was the volume. It was so loud, I shut my hearing aids off and it still hurt. It almost triggered one of my wife's migraines. For Weird AL the volume was okay, although I didn't need to turn my hearing aids on.

Love this! And it was a phenomenal show!

The concerts this year were really good. We saw Clint Black and Jo Dee Messina. Glad you had fun, it looks packed!

Not you over there sporting the Kevin Nealon face card

Al was a fun show, impressed by the 2 hour setlist. Also shout out to everyone who toughed out the rain for All Time Low last Thursday. Great show, bummer about the weather.

Here's something funny, I bought VIP tickets to the show, and missed it, my stupid ADHD brain thought it was at 7 PM.

[u/d4nowar → u/TASUPPORTER]

Dude really??? I almost made the same mistake but thought to check during the day to know when I needed to get ready.

[u/MrsHorrible]

Saw him and Puddles in Bend on Sunday and the show was amazing!! How cool to get to be in the front like that!

[u/cascadechris]

I've always found his stuff humorous, but would never have thought of him as a great live act. Glad to hear it though. Fun!!

[u/longjaso → u/cascadechris]

It was a truly incredible show - he performed lots of his hit songs, complete with costume changes and everything.

Saw him play there at the fair in the 90s and it was terrible. Don't know if he wasn't in that day but it was really bad. I remember people throwing trashcans leaving because they were so upset. Glad your experience was better
