My first Al experience was amazing, he had a great set. After seeing that show I have tried to get my hands on every concert ticket in my area. I had good seats, but I had never been to a concert before, so I didn't know about encores, so I left at the end of fat. That was dumb, but I have not made that same mistake since.

My first WAY show was last night!! I'm still giddy from it all. :D

But technically my first Weird Al experience was the SOL Virgin Megastore signing. *sigh* Memories... :inlove:

Mine was last night too and it was pretty much perfect. I met plenty of WOWAYers and I got tour merch. The seats were close (For row N anyway) and it was an overall amazing experience. Totally worth doing again.

My first Al concert was 2 months ago, 10 days ago. It was in Westbury, NY. IT WAS THE BEST 2 1/2 HOURS OF MY LIFE!! :whoot:
My dad and I had to drive about 2 hours to get there, but it was worth it. I got a yellow "Weird Al is my Homeboy" T-shirt :P
I was so sad when it was over... I cried 'cause I didn't want it to end. We went home without waiting to see if Al would come out, just because we were so tired. Unfortunately, we can't go to another show this tour because none are close enough :(W

My first Al concert was this year - at the Del Mar Fair. We got there early and I searched for any sign of Al or the band wandering around - to no avail. My daughter and I snuk up and watched them setting up before they opened the seating but were kicked out. My two sons ate dinner and waited to go in but, Bug (my daughter) and I were so excited, we raced in, found our seats, ran down to get a t-shirt, ran back to our seats and went nuts until the concert started.

It was an awesome, amazing, incredible experience! We sang and seat-danced and cheered and laughed through the whole thing. It was over too soon. Sigh...

sorry but i am a little late, my first concert was this year on aug 9th. it was a blast, when it started i was screamin like there was nobody else there.and i was looking back and forth from al,jim,and steve. every time i looked at jim,when there was no lights i could see the outline of his costume, and i could tell which song was comeing up.when they did WBUL and al came into the crowd there was this little kid who was walking right by al,it was so funny, and i was surprised that al did see him.anyway,i caught some streammers and confety,but no luck on getting the SLN cup or yanko bucks.then after like 2 and 30 mins the show was over. i had passes to, so i went back stage and i met al, but none of the rest of the band. and i got my SOL cd signed and i shook al's hand and i put a glove on it, to save it, but my mom made me wash me hand, but i still have the glove it is in a zip lock. that is a night i will never forget in my life. :D :D :D :D :D :D
big day!!!!!!!!! :D :)

My first Al concert was this past June in Lubbock, Tx. My wonderful sister and brother-in-law got us 3rd row tickets after I begged to go. It was an awesome show and I loved every minute of it. :D

Awesome show, good mix of new and old. Even my wife thought it was good, and she was reluctant to go. My sister called me the week before and gave me a heads up, and I knew he wouldnt be any closer. I would go again.
