I hope Maine is still on that tour list. I never really go to concerts unless it's Al.

The medley always seems to be a crapshoot as to what will pop up and what will go. It's probably going to be a toss-up between "Gump" or "Springer," probably to make room for either "Trash Day" or "Complicated."

I'm kinda hoping for a new concert-only parody in the medley, but I wouldn't gripe if "Free Delivery" remains as the token unreleased song (or, if not that, then some kind of rotation of older songs like "Chicken Pot Pie" or "Green Eggs and Ham").

If I ever get to hear 'Stop Draggin my car around' live, I would be as happy as could be. I LOVE the big accordion part in the middle.

That's a possiblity. On all the recent tours he's made sure to keep at least one song from the debut album on the medleys. Actually, I think it'd be cool if he put one of the classic unreleased parodies in the medley, like "Pacman" or "Baby Likes Burping."

OR how bout a return of "Feel Like Throwin' Up!" Kid Rock just did a cover of the original a couple years ago so it'd be a perfect time to bring it back!

They're examples.

Not very good examples.

Thanks for saying that, Jeremy.

to you, Driew!

Shame on you for thinking Al would ever be on the back burner!

Now that we know what kind of venue the House of Blues is *thank you, LadyKatia*, I see the chances of Al playing there this tour to be very good.

Well yeah...

Oh come on, the people of America don't give Al enough respect, you know that and I know that.

Well, I stil don't think he'd be on the back burner at the House of Blues. He's played there before, and the fans come to see him. New Orleans may love Al more than you think.

I dunno, you sound so pessimistic. It kinda makes me sad.

That was a big dissapointment for me on the Poodle Hat Tour. Nothing against "Free Delivery," it's a favorite of mine and an audience favorite, but I was hoping for some new concert-only stuff too. The rushed atmosphere to finish and release PH before the tour began was the reason for that. Hopefully things are planned a little better this time around, and Al and the band have some time to think up and rehearse a few concert-only parodies.

I also hope he continues the "request" song bit.
