World of Weird Al Yankovic

9/15/00 - Tennessee State Fair

I saw Bermuda talking to some people before the concert, but I was too nervous to ask for a picture or anything.

I'm catchin ya, though I don't know that it will ever happen...

after this leg, i'll be at 33 shows - in 10 years

June 30, 2000 at Meadowbrook. My son Marshall went with me. He was 10. He had made a t-shirt that said "Weird Al Rules" on it, and also had these nifty animal footprints all over it from these cute markers we had. We were in Row UU, practically on the lawn! I remember being very impressed that we could still hear all the sound effects for "Fat". There was a railing seperating the folks in our section from those in the pavillion. I remember Al came up our side of the aisle during OMM, but was still too far away to even notice me, even though I was standing right by the rail, and stretching my arm out like "I'm here, Al!" (I didn't actually say it.) I had a wonderful time, but we had to leave right away, as hubby arrived early to pick us up, and did not want to wait any longer. Thanks for freeing me, Al.

I don't remember the exact date but it was at the Mann Music Center in Philadelphia during the Poodle Hat tour. My entire family was there, along with a large group of friends whose kids were also fans. We had a great time tailgating in the parking lot before the show. The show was just amazing. Our seats were right behind a low wall that enclosed the pit. During WBUL Al came out on top of that wall, stopped in front of me and sang "you're absolutely perfect, don't speak now you might spoil it." A night to remember, not just because of that but because my husband was actually there - the man does not enjoy concerts so it was a pretty big deal that he agreed to join us.

it was 71 in 10 yrs for me, the closest i get to an exact date is #39 in 99 then #65 in 2000, as it was in nov.

Holy cow... lol

Halloween, 1999--- Portland Maine.

It was my first concert of any kind, and I was lucky enough to get into the orchestra pit right against the stage.

Al couldn't go out into the audience, and during One More Minute, he came to the edge of the stage, fell to one knee and took my hand while he was singing.

I got mashed by the crowd in the orchestra pit but it was the coolest thing ever!
I got to meet him after, and I asked him to autograph my forehead. Hehe, maaaaan I took so much crud from other students at school the next morning for it, but it was so worth it.

I've been sung to twice at shows lol. During the Poodle Hat tour, Al was singing WBUL and he sang to me that 'my eyes were even bluer than the water in his toilet', hehe.

I've been to 6 concerts so far. It's hard to see him when he so rarely came up to the Northeast.

Pittsburgh, 1996? I think, maybe 97. It was the first year of a two year tour of the same show. It was outside. I was pretty close to the stage. There were folding chairs all over, but everyone moved them and stood up. I kept mine, stood on top of it (cause I am very short) and no one said a thing!! Al actually made eye contact with me twice!! He tried to toss his undies at me, but they didn't go far enough and I suck at catching. (I spent my youth learning how to avoid dodge balls thrown at my head, not playing catch lol.) It was awesome, as I had not been able to see any concert I had ever gone to, being so short! I was blown away!! What is cool is that year I had just finished roaming around like a gypsy performing and was finally home. One of the shows I did that year ended up being in the same theater as Al performed in this year. ooooo It's like a shared a dressing room hehe. but um 10 years apart

The only odd thing I saw, was some girl had a guy on a dog leash in the front row rofl.
