Hehe, love it!
4 words that Al said to me that blew me away:

"How's Problem Child doing?" - 7/12/11

So awesome!

Great choice of song for Al to do--high-energy. As a Harrison fanatic though, the relative lack of post-1970 material is kind of a bummer. FWIW, there are some amazing songs in his catalog after the Beatles and All Things Must Pass that never get any recognition. Check 'em out!

But that's another topic for another time. Nicely done, Al!

Here is the Finale - Handle with Care. Al was standing next to Dhani Harrison, Brandon Flowers and Wayne Coyne. Very cool! Between Al and Wayne, the amount of hair on that stage was amazing. :lol: I loved it when they started jumping. :D
The camera work is unsteady at the beginning of the video, so if you wanna skip to 1:00, when the song starts, it's better.

I really loved his performances. He did such a good job with both songs, and the big group finale with a Wilburys song made it all the more fun and special. Great to see, after this and the Simpsons live show, that Al is getting serious respect and high-profile gigs as a rock musician.

I posted the link to the picture Al took from onstage upthread. No response? How can I link it directly from twitter? It's just so cute.

I've seen that picture well before seeing the performance video, so I reacted even more well before you posted the link :lol: . But yes, it's cute :)

Thanks for doing that. Yeah, I saw that pic as soon as he posted it, which was probably right after he took it! Such a goofball! Just thought I'd share it here for people without twitter.
