If you can be in charge of what songs Al plays on tour, what songs would you choose and it what order.

My ideas:

Gump

UHF

Airline Amy

Pretty Fly for a Rabbi

Addicted to Spuds

The Night Santa Went Crazy

One More Minute (dress up)

Trigger Happy

The Biggest Ball of Twine in Minnesota

All About the Pentiums (dress up)

Money for Nothing/Beverly Hillbillies (dress up)

Like a Surgeon (dress up)

Medley:

Free Delivery, King of Suede, Theme From Rocky XII, Achy Breaky Song, Phony Calls, Syndicated Inc, Another One Rides the Bus, Laundry Day, I Love Rocky Road, My Bologna, Grapefruit Diet, I Lost on Jeopardy, Eat it

Smells Like Nirvanna (dress up)

Bedrock Anthem (dress up)

Dare to Be Stupid (dress up)

Amish Paradise (dress up)

Fat (dress up)

The Saga Begins (dress up)

Yoda (dress up)

Poor Al! Look at all those costume changes. You didn't even give him time between changes. Maybe he should bring out one of those screen things (like from old movies) and just change on stage.

It would be a real shame if the screen fell down

Some interesting choices there, Ratbert [though I agree with Scotti; Al would be exhausted by the end of the night!]. Three songs you picked have never been done live by Al before -- "Airline Amy", "Trigger Happy", and [most amazingly to me] "UHF"! Do you realize "UHF" and "Christmas At Ground Zero" are the only two Al songs that he made videos for that were never performed live? ["Ricky" was performed live once or twice in the early eighties, but was never part of a regular setlist.] I have never figured out why that is ... Okay, well, "C@GZ" *maybe* not ever since 9/11, but why not "UHF"??? Ah well, then, got a new Q for "Ask Al" when it restarts ...

I bet he wouldn't Trigger Happy either after Columbine. Oh well.

How about "Pentiums" as a polka? Bet P. Diddy couldn't do that!

I don't know what my final list would be, but I know it would include Trigger Happy, Good Old Days, and The Biggest Ball of Twine in Minnesota. And of all the unreleased material there is, I've always wanted to hear Dead Car Battery Blues, so throw that in too.

Someone on another board (I think it was Cid?) suggested that Al and Bermuda recreate "Another One Rides the Bus" in true original fashion with accordion case and all on stage at a concert. That's the best idea I've heard in a long time!

that would be too cool, but the song is part of the medley, i guess if they took it out and did the full version it wouldnt be awful

Is there any song that is played at ALL the concerts, or does it change all the time.
