Yeah, I'm DEFINITELY making it to this one. I'm also definitely going VIP if I end up going to this alone. This will be my third time seeing Al at this venue.

Since this show is tonight, I'd like to announce two things.

First, I am going to be the official YNN correspondent for this show and oddaustin just agreed to also participate in this with me. Sometime after this week, you should expect to see a video review of this and the Grand Junction show co-starring the two of us.

Also, I will be live tweeting the set list tonight and Thursday. (LOL remember when people used to do that?) Of course, this is Mountain time we're talking here so you guys may have to wait a couple of hours later for live updates than you've been used to for following this sort of thing. Still, I invite anyone who's interested to make their own separate post in this thread and continually update is as my tweets come in and if nothing else I will also post the set list here. My Twitter handle is @Killingworth27 and, of course, I will be using the hashtag #VanityTour .

As for my personal wish list for the show, I really hope he does the Grateful Dead/Unplugged version of DTBS tonight. I've seen him do the original album/DEVO version each of the last two times he has played at this venue and I'd love to just see him pull off the hat trick tonight. I'd also like to see him do something from Polka Party tonight as it is the only album thus far that I haven't seen him do any live songs from. (I've only been seeing him live since 2010, so sue me.) Speaking of which, I'd also really like to see him do some originals from SOL since that was obviously the first album of his I really got into. I'I'd also really like to see him play One More Minute and Velvet Elvis.

According to Casey's tweets, they performed "It's The End Of The World As We Know It". That song was one of my prediction/wishlist songs for covers, so hopefully a video of that shows up somewhere! From JW's instagram, sounds pretty good. Still reminds me of Hardware Store (I've always thought that is what they were originally going for before making it a true original)

JW is the part of CID Entertainment and part of Al's crew. He hosts the VIP events, both this tour and during the Mandatory World Tour.
