Just a complete hunch, but wouldn't it be cool if for 2019 Al kept the no costumes, no props, no videos format, but ditched the stools and just did a regular, stand up rock show? Different sets each night, parodies, covers and originals. Perhaps bring back some older favorites that haven't been performed except in the medley in a while. This is what I thought Al was originally hinting at when he first started talking about doing something different for the new tour a year or so back. Walk out on stage, play I'll Sue Ya straight into Smells Like Nirvana then slow things down a bit with Wanna B Ur Luvr........

I'm with you 100%!!
I think you should ask Al to have a meeting with you and then pitch this great idea. :great:

I'm still putting my money on it being a full-blown acoustic show. It just seems like the next logical step

I've been wondering if Al might ever consider doing full album shows. 2019 does happen to be the 20th anniversary of Running With Scissors.

I'm wondering if it will be kind of like the Vanity tour, but with parodies. Since he generally doesn't ever do parodies in full ever again after he quits doing them in full, that WOULD be differen't again. (I would love to see Like A Surgeon: Original mix) It would be SUPER awesome if that was the case, if he threw in a few originals that he couldn't do this time for background reasons, IE Franks 2000" TV, Since You've Been Gone, Germs, ect.

We'll see. :)

Looks like somebody on Reddit leaked the new tour. While I can't confirm it, it looks like people are corroborating it. I will put it in spoilers here, so DON'T CLICK IF YOU DON'T WANT TO POSSIBLY SPOIL THE NEXT TOUR!!!!

Spoiler:
mistermister98 on reddit says: "Inside scoop: it’s a tour with an orchestra. You heard it here first."

Spoiler:
Notice how last year he did a show previewing the Vanity Tour in a bitesized format for the 501st Legion. Another time he did a brief orchestral arrangement set at an arts benefit show
