We sat in a corporate booth at the outdoor theater. No rain or bugs. Free food and drinks.
Al puts on a hell of a great family friendly show. My only disappointment was he didn't do his first hit single to chart "Ricky" below.

I wore my concert shirt until it was falling apart. A great show. The opening act was a guy juggling bowling balls.

We plan on taking our 9 and a half year old grand son Indy to his first concert and naturally I want it to be Weird Al .
Weird Al taught our daughters how to laugh at themselves and pop culture .Your grandaughter is very lucky to have you for a grand father .

25. S'all good OS. Nothing but love and respect here.
Have fun at Al's show. 25 years ago my band did a short tour with Al. It was supposed to be a one-nighter but Al took a shine to us and took us along for 6-7 shows. He was total class, payed us real well and was a joy to be around. A true gentleman.
