I'm hoping for plenty of deep cuts that have never been played live--or at least not for quite a while. Here are some that I'd love to see (including some true flights of fancy)

Nature Trail to Hell
Cable TV
Christmas at Ground Zero/The Night Santa Went Crazy medley
One More Minute
Melanie
Dog Eat Dog
Fun Zone
You Don't Love Me Anymore
Traffic Jam
Callin' in Sick
Everything You Know is Wrong
Your Horoscope for Today
Albuquerque
Hardware Store--very unlikely due to the insane bridge, but imagine the round of applause they would get every night if they make it through

Think I have said it before somewhere. They could hum random tunes on a bus and I would pay to listen.

I got into Al when his Mandatory Fun album came out and I've seen him twice!
I'm going to see him again this spring and I'm really hoping he'll sing Generic Blues. I'd also love to see him sing Condo.

He's probably all set, but, I wish there was a way he could know how much a fan would love to see him sing these great songs.

I guess what I'm really trying to say is, no one sings the Blues like Al.

I'll take a stab at ones I'd like to see Live. Listed Chronologically.

I'll Be Mellow When I'm Dead (always like this one, and I think it is probably one of the better songs that highlights his accordion skills
Such a Groovy Guy
Buy Me a Condo
Nature Trail to Hell (in 3D) (personal favorite of mine)
One More Minute (want to hear the band on background vocals)
Slime Creatures From Outer Space
One of Those Days
Don't Wear Those Shoes
Stuck in a Closet with Vanna White (for the guitar work)
You Make Me
Velvet Elvis (always loved how much he nails that Police sound)
Good Old Days
Everything You Know is Wrong
Since You've Been Gone
Germs (I imagine this one is tough to do live, or at least difficult on the voice)
Your Horoscope for Today
Albuquerque (I know this has been a lot on recent tours, I still would like to see it again)
Hardware Store (yeah, right. Just can't see this one ever being done live. Way too difficult)
Party at the Leper Colony (always like the lyrics in this song, very clever)
