So, last night was the Weird Al concert at the Puyallup Fair...and it was the most totally awesomest thing I ever saw...
Just to see him up close and personal...it was surreal...been listening to the guy since I was a young'n...never thought I'd get to see him in concert...much less be that close! I had a great fucking seat...6th row, seat 18, section D...right smack dab in the middle...during Wanna B Ur Luvr, he came into the audience and was serenading everyone...
At that point...I had a vagina...
I know now what it's like to be a teenage girl...
For a time, I forgot I was a heterosexual man...
And, it was glorious...
All the sets were awesome...during costume changes they played some of those AL TV celebrity "interviews"...they're totally hilarious...you can look them up on You Tube...they're worth a gander, watching him just rip apart stupid celebrities...lol
They showed other clips from various tv shows of Al and a few sketches from UHF....
It's really hard to describe how awesome this concert was..you had to have been there...
I took over 400 pictures...a lot of them didn't come out too well because the guy barely stands still...
Smells Like Nirvana just rocked live...the cheerleaders were pretty cute too...I tried to get a couple shots of them, but it was kinda hard...no pun intended...
I wasn't quite close enough to get splashed with water...just one or 2 rows too far back...but almost got it...
Let's see...what else...
I got a couple of souvenirs...a piece of ribbon that was shot out of an air cannon...and a $100 "Al Buck" as I call it....has his portrait on it...totally awesome stuff...
Oh, yes....The Saga Begins....a highlight of the show...a bunch of dancing Stormtroopers and Darth Vader and Boba Fett...with Al and the band dressed as Jedi...except Ruben, he was Darth Sidious...
That was pretty sweet....and they left and he went into Yoda....usually he ends his shows with Yoda, but that was more in the middle...the show went on for a quite a while after that, I was surprised...
Oh, he performed a new song, I'm in Love With the Skipper....a parody of I'm in Love with a Stripper...dressed as Gilligan....I hope that one's on the next album....
The costume changes were pretty sweet....dressing like Taylor Hicks, Eminem, Rage Against the Machine, the Fat suit, Eat It jacket, the silver suit for All About the Pentiums...and the 6 costume changes in one song that ended with a Spongebob t-shirt, pink tutu, boxer shorts and fishnets...that was awesome....
He started performing Trapped in the Drive-Thru...I thought he was gonna do the whole thing...that's an 11 minute song..I wouldn't have complained, it's a funny ass song...I was just surprised...lol
Of course, he came out in a huge fat suit for Fat...when he was yelling "Ho!", a roadie dressed in drag came out, carrying a garden hoe...that was certainly a sight...
He ended the show with Albuquerque....a 12 minute song...of course, the live version was more like 15 or 20 because of the extra stuff he threw in there...lol...but it was awesome...
The encore was "We All Have Cell Phones"...at which point the whole audience raised their phones in the air...
All-in-all, it was the best time I've ever had....anywhere! Great show! If I had the money, I would totally become a groupie and just follow him around the country....
This was actually my first real concert...I'd been to live music performances, but nothing I'd really consider a concert...this was A CONCERT!
I will never forget it and I will never miss another one!
