Australian Tour!

Post by TMBJon »

This forum would be a good place to discuss the possible Australian tour.

When does Al play TNSWC at concerts? November? December?



I think it's quite likely that Al will come for Christmas.



Where do all Australian residents think Al will perform. Personally, I think Al will perform at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre, but I don't know where for other capital cities.

Well, he's only played it on the last tour, and it was in for the whole tour. Even in February, the song was performed ("It's about ten months before Christmas, so...").



I don't think Al has ever done a seasonal change during a tour, probably because he rarely does a song that only fits with a certain time of year. In fact, I believe the only real big setlist change he has made was adding "Headline News" in the middle of the Alapalooza Tour.

Alright, I've calmed down now. It's just that, well um, October 14 is A SCHOOL DAY! AND THE NEXT DAY TOO! AND I WANT TO GO!



Well, considering my birthday is close by, maybe I could take a day off on the 15th.



How long do concerts go for? If you can, times inclusive & exclusive of signature time/encore would be good.

Count on the show to end about 3 hours after the time of the show starting. Usually the opening act will come on and that plus the in between setting up time is about an hour. Al's show always lasts 2 hours, including the encore. If you took that off, you'd save maybe 10 minutes, but why would you want to miss that?

And then there is also the several hours after the show for the chance that if Al comes out for autographs.



Congrats to the Aussies! :)

I bet Al & the band are really excited about going there! I don't know if any of them have gone there for vacations previously, but in either case I'm sure it feels like a real adventure for them!
