Cal Poly shows

[TMBJon]

Does anyone know if there are any recordings of the shows Al played in college (with Joel Miller, etc)?

I have heard recordings of Beverly Hillbillies/Miss You and The Elements (from Driven), so I assume that someone out there has a recording of at least one of these concerts. I consider that to be the holy grail of Weird Al live recordings. Anyone have any information about them, or the source of those two mp3s that are floating around?

Didn't Bermuda play one or two at AlFest?

[TMBJon]

No?

No?

I think Kristine meant Dr Demento, who played some early stuff, but I think all from his radio show? But it's the same era more or less I guess

I'm not talking about the recording of Belvedere Cruising we've heard a zillion times. I'm talking about a full length show of the songs he did at Cal Poly with Joel Miller.

It's all a blur...

I know a tape of Belvedere Cruising (a LIVE performance, not the demo tape we've all heard), and Beverly Hillbillies / Miss You recorded live at Cal Poly was played on Dr. Demento on the KMET broadcast. These are the only 2 songs that were broadcast from that tape, to my knowledge. I'm sure there's more of that tape out there somewhere. Mr. Frump from the Biography special for example...

As far as I can tell, that Coffeehouse tape came from the personal private collection of either Al or Joel Miller. And they've never let an uncut copy slip.

Incidentally, I saw Al perform at Cal Poly about six years ago, and I walked around the campus that day...apparently the old Coffeehouse is now a pizza joint.

And yes, the men's room still has AMAZING acoustics.
