06/2/07 Westbury, NY Westbury Music Fair

The concert rocked. The cellphone song was one of the highlights (next to Albuqurque), but I was dissapointed that there was no money flying from the sky. And I didn't get to meet Al, but I can always try again come next concert.

The cell phone song almost killed me. I seriously laughed so hard I began to choke on saliva while waving my cell phone.

And him yelling at the couple who were leaving during SPOILER Albuquerque... priceless.

That was awesome - does he do that in every show during that song? Or was that pretty much ad-libbed?

Anyways, I enjoyed the show - I'm not as familiar with the new album, as much as the older songs - but it was still a lot of fun. He seems to have Taylor's facial expressions down too! And thanks to the tech who got me a copy of the setlist!

That... was.. great! I agree, the yelling part was hilarious! I waved my cell phone! And I clapped! Aaah, I am so happy! The only part I did not like was that they only had Eat It in the medley. I felt gypped!

GOOD FOR AL!!!!!!!!

That couple getting up during Albuquerque, I had to tap the woman on the shoulder. Funny as, well, you know, whatever. And thanks to these forums with people talking after their concerts, I knew about the encore. During the 'band introduction' at the end of "Fat", people were just leaving, and at the time I was at the back telling people that were walking by "Not over," several times. They didn't seem to care and/or believe me, so they kept walking -- their loss.

Before the show I saw Jay Levey and his wife (I would strongly assume it was his wife) as well as Ruben, Jim, another woman and another guy. Should have asked them to sign something, but I didn't have 'something'. Besides that, Jay sat two rows in front of me, and to the left (Section H, Row C Seat 1, with his wife in seat 2).

Al yelling at the couple leaving was hilarious! They had no choice but to stay after that! All the people leaving worked out well for us. Adrian leans over and says to gather my belongings quickly, and next thing I know, we're sitting in the second row!

The confetti cannon went off right in front of us. We got covered! I'm still picking confetti off myself. And Al came over, did a double-take, and gave Anne and Jackie some confused stare, trying to figure out if we were there all along.

The funny thing about the cell phones is that someone pulled out a cell phone and started waving it during "You're Pitiful" and next thing you know half of the people in the audience are doing it. I think Al even laughed at one point. It was hilarious on it's own, but even funnier knowing what was coming in the encore.

The reason there was no dollar bills during "I'll Sue Ya" was because the venue wouldn't allow it. It was against some fire code to use an automatic feeder, so they couldn't do it. I'm not sure how they would have anyway because of the layout.

This was the longest line I ever remember at Westbury. Adrian said we were waiting over an hour and a half, but it didn't seem that long to me. I amused myself by taking random pictures into the darkness of everyone until Anne repeatedly broke my camera. >:)

We hung around the venue way too late, and took goofy pictures of us in front of the old BHD-era picture of Al and mocked Filthy Elvis. We were there so long, we were the last two cars there. Even the bus left before us. I think the bus driver has a sense of humor. He circled the venue twice before leaving. Okay, I guess that doesn't sound funny, so you probably had to be there, but trust me, it was hilarious!

Wait, as opposed to what? I don't get what you're trying to say... do you mean that Eat It was the only song you liked in the medley?

That was awesome - does he do that in every show during that song? Or was that pretty much ad-libbed?

I'm pretty sure people don't leave every time, so I think it was ad-libbed. Unless Al planned to do that if he saw anyone leave.

[algonacchick]

Lemmy, I think what he's saying is he'd rather hear the whole song. It's been in the medley forever, though.

[Lemmy]

Ah, got it.
