hi everyone!

i saw weird al live last saturday in boston and it was, in a word, transcendent.

i have a question though.

in the encore, while they were doing Yoda—i barely know how to explain this.

they took a detour from the song and for a long time the whole band basically rapped nonsense words in unison?? the only actual words i remember were when they slipped into “grim grinning ghosts” briefly (from the haunted mansion in disney world), but most of it was truly just nonsense.

it was amazing. the memorization, the diction, the nonsense…i and my family were absolutely speechless. it was incredible. also the kind of thing that’s right up my alley.

what WAS that? and does anyone have any recordings of it? i’d love to listen to it again.

thanks!

For example, there are more than a few people who first heard of Charles Nelson Reilly from listening to "CNR". What are some that you know of?

Hi! Me again! With another anxiety filled question because I over read into things.
The Canadian tire center has a super restrictive bag policy with it being 4" x 6" x 1.5. That isn’t going to hold anything I’d want signed, vinyls, dvds , etc. But I don’t want to be carrying around something 1. Important and 2. Sentimental all night or risk it not getting into the venue because of its size.

When we check in will there be some way to safely store our items we want Al to sign?

Hey everyone! I’m a huge Weird Al fan living in Brooklyn, and I’m dying to go to the "Bigger & Weirder" show in Bridgeport next Tuesday, July 28th.This is my first time trying to find a concert buddy online, so it’s a bit new for me! I’d love to connect with someone else from the NYC area who is either planning to go or also needs to grab a ticket. Ideally, we could chat online a bit over the next couple of days to get to know each other, coordinate buying seats near each other, and maybe even take the Metro-North train up to Bridgeport together.Drop a comment or send me a DM if you're interested in chatting and teaming up for the show! Catching Puddles Pity Party and Al would be way more fun with a fellow fan

I'm a longtime fan of Al -- the S/T was one of my first cassettes -- so it was a thrill to get a chance to talk with him ahead of Pittsburgh show. Among the highlights, he said he turned down a 7-figure offer to perform at the Riyadh Comedy Festival

hi all! i am seeing al at the end of the month and it’s my first ever concert, so i am not super familiar with the etiquette. i believe that some people wait around by artists’ tour buses to see them after the show — do people do this with al, or would this be seen as weird (in a bad way)? i have heard that folks have done this previously, but i’m not sure if it’s still acceptable/typical/etc. thank you!!

Does anyone have a recording of any of the following songs

One More Minute
The Captain Underpants Theme Song
Now You Know
Stop Forwarding That Crap To Me
We All Have Cellphones

I was at the show and these were the songs I didn’t record or haven’t been put up on YouTube. If you have them. It would be cool if you could send it to me so I can make a video of the full show on YouTube.

Radiohead
Death Cab For Cutie
(unlikely, but still a fun thought) Neutral Milk Hotel
Violent Femmes
Depeche Mode
The Smiths
Pink Floyd
Leonard Cohen
(also uncertain) The Magnetic Fields
Soul Coughing
(This is definitely unlikely but still a fan idea) Captain Beefheart and his Magic Band

Write your thoughts in the comments :)

more bands that came to mind: The Ramones
Nickleback (more as a jab then anything)
Eels (this one’s also a little doubtful)

She’s got a history of awful behavior recently made exponentially worse by essentially playing the role of Ghislaine Maxwell in Neil Gaiman’s horrific crimes.

Edit for context — At the show in Boston the other night she was front and center on the screen (back stage during Al’s walk on to Tacky), threw a pie in Puddles’ face and of course proceeded to brag alllllllll about it on her IG. It was all quite nauseating and I was bummed to see that she still gets special treatment from camp AL

Hi all! I was at the concert tonight at Gilford, NH but unfortunately had to leave early around when Fat started as I was ill with food poisoning (doing better now! Not sure what I ate earlier today haha). How was the rest of the show? What songs played after Fat?

So, first off, amazing concert! Hope everyone else that was there had a great time- the rain even held off.

Anyway, here is my sad tale. Sad for me, because of the outcome, but sad for you because you’re gonna be like “not a big deal buddy. Sad.”

So when I first got there I saw the merch line. Huge. Thought I’d get a seat and tackle that after. Came back and stood in line.

I was in line for one thing- the Al enamel pin. I collect pins of all the functions I go to (already had a Tanglewood pin from a previous show) so I stood in line. And as I finally made my way to the front and was second in line, to my right I heard a woman wanting two of the pin. The employee comes back and says they only have the one single pin left. Crestfallen.

I get called up to the front and ask just to be certain that’s what I heard. The employee quickly confirmed. I left the tent and headed to my seat and Puddles wasn’t the only one having a pity party.

Also, this is all hyperbole. I had a blast. And it’s funny, after the fact, that I sat in line for 20 minutes to no avail.

Hey, y'all! When I went and saw Al in NY two weeks ago and I was in the merch line, I saw there were pictures hanging up next to the counter advertising what looked like a sticker pack designed by Nina Yankovic and also a bear/cat type thing, maybe also by her?? I didn't have a very clear view of it so I couldn't fully make out what it was or what it was called, but by the time I got up to the counter, they said they were sold out of the stickers and the bear/cat thing and they took the advertisement pictures down.

I'm going to see another of Al's show in two weeks. Does anyone know what this bear/cat thing is (a sticker, a magnet, a pin??) and is it being sold at all the other shows, along with the sticker pack? Thank you!!

It's gonna rain but I ain't leaving till I see weird al

when it competed against Batman

This series is fun for me to come up with too, I’m glad you like it.
Try to mark ur comments as spoilers just so the answer isn’t so obvious to everyone after they view the comments.
I didn’t fully get all the intricacies of the drum part but I think it’s enough to understand.
The notes on sheet music for horns are usually raised or lowered due to the tuning of those instruments, which is extremely annoying, so I just kept is simple for you all, so any time you see horns in this series, it’s just going to be the normal notes you see on page and not anything above or below.

I might do more of these if you people like it enough.

I was 11 and he was 13 and I’ve always had this distinct memory but assumed it was my mind filling in the blanks.

Turns out my memory is vindicated and even though I never learned her condition, I learned that Weird Al proves that he’s always been everything but weird.

My brother recently took his son to his first concert which was also to see Weird Al.

The generational trend continues with an underlying kindness lead by a truely kind man.
