As great as that would be, I'm guessing it won't. With how much Al cracks his voice through-out the song, it might be hard for him to sing in concert. But after saying that, I hope he plays it.
He could take "you're Pitiful" down a couple of keys when singing it live. Lots of singers do that. I know Bono does that with some of the U2 throat-killers e.g. "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For".
Albuquerque involves a lot of talk-singing, which is really hard on the voice.

Man, I was just starting to get psyched up for seeing everyone again, now it's such a letdown with no new tour this year.
OE suggested he might do a signing when TWAS DVD is released, so that would be something. Let's keep our fingers, toes & eyes crossed.
I'm marking August 15th off as vacation time, just in case.

Let's hope that Jay Levey suggests he do a signing too.
Preferably a better-publicized one than TUVC in Santa Ana. Just putting a poster in the window of the store ain't enough, you store-manager guys!

The whole delaying-of-the-tour thing actually really stinks personally for me, as I'll be taking a bunch of time off in May to go on my honeymoon, so it'll be really hard to get a lot of time off to tour chase... not to mention the expenses of said wedding/honeymoon/new place to live/etc keeping me from buying tix to every
show my car will take me to.
But I'll get to as many as I can...

...ain't it grand to have friends who are Al fans who wouldn't miss their tourchasing buddies though? I think I have ideas for a great wedding gift...

It's settled then. You're going to have to postpone the wedding.
Besides all the obvious reasons, I'm upset there's no tour this year because I
did plan ahead and not take a lot of vacation days last year so I could save up my vacation days and money in anticipation of taking a lot of days off
this summer for tour chasing. So now once again, another year of the same.

Sort of off topic, so mods, please feel free to merge this with another topic:
Since there's no tour in the immediate future, didn't there used to be a topic about other artists and songs to explore? I really need some new music to listen to and can't get Dr. Demento!
I don't mind a little profanity or off-color subject matter, just nothing with cruelty to animals...I was completely creeped out by Dick's Automotive.
One of my favorites to recommend is Tenacious D's "Tribute"
There's also Da Vinci's Notebook, an a capella group, which has been described as "Bobby McFerrin" and "'Weird Al' Yankovic" colliding on stage.
Beastly Boys "Squirrels" is another favorite, as is "Car Phone" by Sheeler and Sheeler, and most things by Ray Stevens or the Frantics.
Any suggestions for beating the summertime ennui?
