Yes, he did perform Since You've Been Gone, during the Al-Can tour, and during a couple other performances prior to the release of Bad Hair Day.Bruce the Duck @ May 05, 2009 05:17 pm wrote: The only "spoiler" for BHD was "Since You've Been Gone." It had been performed during the previous year's concert tour. I hadn't heard the song ahead of time, but I remember reading the lyrics online before the album came out.
Another tidbit you guys might not have known before - before In 3D was ever released (during some performances after the release of the Debut album), Al originally had Eat It as part of the Food Medley. When he saw how positive the reaction was on the song, he wrote a full version and released it on his next Album!
So in a way, like I said about getting our spoilers (pre-internet) either from word of mouth, or from the source itself, we got some of our first spoilers a LOOOOOONG time ago!
But also, who was to say that those were ever spoilers since nobody would have known whether they were just concert only songs or not, and whether they'd ever be released or not...(although Al rarely does concert only Original songs...)
I was one of the lucky individuals that got to hear Party At The Leper Colony when it was leaked at the Orange County Fair almost a year before the release of Poodle Hat! We all kinda suspected it was gonna be on the next album, though...
