Yes, Al did play a lot of keys during early concerts. There was no Rubén back then. What impressed me most was when he was playing a song on the keys, and went underneath the keyboard, still keeping one hand up there and playing. hehe!
ETA: The song was Buy Me a Condo, btw!
That's from the 7/26/85 tape. Right, Jared??

Yes you're right.
And Al did have a keyboard player, though. He had 3-4 keyboards!

Maybe one other keyboard. I don't remember more than two. But, I could be wrong again.
Anyway, he did cover a lot of keys. Btw, I never said there wasn't another keyboardist, just no Rubén.
Extra band members for the Stupid Tour:
Bill Anderson *listed as Will in the Archives, Bill in a photo* ~ sax, guitar, trumpet, harmonica, vocals
Pat Regan ~ keyboards.
That's it. Not exactly an orchestra.
Although Bill could almost be a band all by himself.

Yes, it was. Hehe, he's practically laying on the stage floor, and he's still got an arm stretched up to the keyboard playing.
Huh, I just now realized how difficult that must have been. Only a man with talent can do it though.

Especially when you're only playing 3 notes.

Way to kill it, Driew.
Besides, IIRC, he was playing more than three notes.

You're right, 5, over and over and over again.

I still thought that was impressive, no matter what!
You know I love you, Driew, but I bet you couldn't do that. At least, not with as much finesse.
