Wednesday evening, I saw "Weird Al" Yankovic perform live. Though I've been a fan of his for most of my life, this is the first time I've seen him live. The concert was in New Bedford (yes, apparently there's a New Bedford now), which was quite a hike to get to and back from. The people I went with bought the tickets back in June, so we got excellent seats - third row! Close enough that we got splashed!
These are the songs he performed, in order:
These are the songs he performed, in order:
- Polkarama!
- Canadian Idiot
- Close But No Cigar
- Why Does This Always Happen To Me?
- It's All About The Pentiums
- You're Pitiful (During this one, he repeatedly removed clothing, revealing different clothing underneath. At the end, he was wearing a Spongebob T-shirt, a ballerina skirt, boxer shorts with hearts on them, and fishnet stockings.)
- Wanna B Ur Lovr (During this one, he wandered out into the audience and interacted with various female audience members.)
- A medley consisting of bits of the following:
- Couch Potato
- Do I Creep You Out
- Some song I've never heard before, but which I'm guessing is titled "I'm In Love With The Skipper", during which he was dressed like Gilligan
- Headline News (He only sang one verse, and it was one that wasn't in the original version. I'm guessing it was about a more recent news item, but unfortunately I was preoccupied with writing song titles down. So by the time I noticed that it was a new verse I had missed it, so I don't know what it was about.)
- Confessions Part III
- A Complicated Song
- eBay
- Bedrock Anthem
- Ode To A Superhero
- Pretty Fly For A Rabbi
- Trapped In The Drive-thru
- Gump
- Eat It
- Couch Potato
- I'll Sue Ya
- The Saga Begins (This was accompanied by a full complement of storm troopers, plus Darth Vader and Boba Fett. But all they really did was stand in a line at the back of the stage, and sway and bob their heads slightly.)
- Yoda
- Smells Like Nirvana
- Amish Paradise
- White & Nerdy (He came out riding a Segway!)
- Fat
- We All Have Cell Phones (an in-joke based on one of the Al-TV segments that was shown on the video screen during an earlier costume change)
- Albuquerque (with an extended version of the donut shop sequence)
