General Weird Al Concert Chat

Post by **TMBJon** » Sat Mar 28, 2009 2:41 am

Thought there should be a thread like this for generic blather about Weird Al live performances.

My question: Does anyone know the largest venue in Los Angeles that Al has ever played? Specifically, has he ever played the Hollywood Bowl?

I'd say The Greek Theatre. I'd like to know what the biggest venue overall/anywhere was -- with Al as the headliner? He played at the stadium in Miami but that was part of a Hurricane Andrew relief benefit.

I wonder what was the largest live audience Al and the guys have ever had?

Drats! I remember him answering that question in one of the 273927503 interviews I've seen him in.

Not sure *how* many, but he mentioned being part in a larger event of some sorts (that I can't remember either).

LOL, I'm so helpful!

Edited to add: No, really, I remember him mentioning a ridiculously large number, like 70,000 or 90,000

Yes it was the hurricane relief show. And the largest headlining performance is the Greek.

The thought just came to my mind, but does anyone else expect clips from "Al's Brain" to make their way into video clips? I'm sure it would be changed into two-dimensional footage, but I expect at least some little snippet(s).

Also, what else do you think could be included into video clips?
What do you think will be cut out?

I think a lot of those mock interviews are getting a little long in the tooth. I would like to see brand new stuff in the videos.

Al often includes clips from famous cult movies, or notoriously bad movies. I would really like to see a clip from The Room.

You're tearing me apart, Lisa!!!

If he's showing clips from bad movies, why not show one from Death Bed: The Bed That Eats People?

Based on what he said in the Ustream video, I'd say no. It sounds like it belongs totally to the OC Fair.
