I know what you mean, Kaley. I'm still blown away that the whole band is always on point with costume changes and whatnot.

Honestly, Al could just sit on the stage drinking tea and reading the newspaper and I'd be happy. As long as he still enjoys performing, it's all good.

And all I know is that if I'm still around, I will find a way to get to at least one show (and hopefully meet him again). I still get upset that so many factors and people kept me away from his shows and him all these years.

Sometimes with costume changes, depending on the venue, Steve told me sometimes "we don't make it".
What a racket they're makin', Jack, they keep me up at night playin' their electric guitars!!

I'd be interested to see an instance when they "don't make it". I can't recall a time that they were late on stage missing a cue, other than Steve during the beginning of "Skipper Dan" a lot of the time.

I've seen Al run to his mark for SLN and just barely make it. Usually the band is there with plenty of time.

Yeah, I'd be interested to see that, too. Wouldn't it be crazy if there was an instance where they were still wearing a piece of the previous costume and had their pants and shirts not match or something like that?

And yeah, I noticed that Al was usually the last one in place during the songs.

Definitely. He barely got there in time just when the line "I'm Wreck-Gar! I dare to be stupid!" was on the screen when I saw him.

I'd be happy if he brought Let Me Be Your Hog out again.

Yeah, they better. Not like it isn't always kept in their back pockets.

I could see a few costumes SLN, TSB, W&N, WC etc

With the new idea I'm revisiting the set list I made a few months ago.

1. Tacky - Tacky costume
2. Original (FWP or LCTF) - Hawian shirt
3. Foil - Foil Hat
4. Canadian idiot - Canada Suit
COSTUME CHANGE
ACOUSTIC PART - White shirt with black pants
5. You Don't Love Me Anymore
6. Good Old Days
7, CNR
8. Gonna Buy Me A Condo
9. Dare To Be Stupid
10. medley - Eat It, I Lost On Jeopardy, bedrock Anthem, It's All About The Pentiums, I Love Rocky Road, Perform This Way, Addicted To Spuds,
Living With A hernia, Fat
11. Amish Paradise
12. Like A Surgeon
ACOUSTIC PART ENDS
COSTUME CHANGE
13. White & Nerdy - W&N hoodie with Red bandanna
COSTUME CHANGE
14. Word Crimes - Stripy Suit
COSTRUME CHANGE
15. Smells Like Nirvana - Kurt Cobain outfit
ENCORE
16. The Saga Begins - Jedi Robes
17. Yoda

Very few costume changes much like an old show. Here are some songs that could be made Acoustic:

You Don't Love Me Anymore, Good Old Days, CNR, Gonna Buy Me A Condo & Dare To Be Stupid were performed acoustic in the past.
Bedrock Anthem, It's All About The Pentiums, Addicted To Spuds & Living With A Hernia could be made acoustic.
Perform This Way & Fat have to complicated of costume changes.
Amish Paradise was performed on MTV unplugged
Like A Surgeon the way I had it thought out last time would be too hard to set up so it can stay acoustic.
