Bob.

And the show started late because of the sun. As always, with an outdoor show, depending on the direction the stage faces, the setting sun makes it impossible to see the video screens. They held off as long as they could - I think they would've liked to have started a few minutes later even, but with the early (1030p) curfew, 815p was the latest they could push it without having to cut more than "I'll sue ya."

YMMV.

What does YMMV mean?

Edit: Nevermind. I looked it up. Not sure why you added that, though.

Your Mileage May Vary?

Anyways...I loved the show, the zoo was AWESOME....didn't care for paying $5 to park, but what are ya going to do? Also didn't care for my lack of sun screen application-I'll be paying for that for a few days to come. I also got blisters on my feet! GAH!
Hope you enjoyed my review!

Ok-a bit of a real concert review, 4 srsly.

*warning, post made after sleep deprivation and overexposure to the sun. I am not responsible for the words below...really*

My brain was beyond mush by the time I heard Fun Zone, so things went by in a daze...too much sun, and brain frying by the guy trying to score free tickets for like his whole family for no real reason. *brain 'splodes*

I am falling more and more in love with White and Nerdy every time I see it live! Jim West's Herky Jerky Nerdy movements just make me giggle. As does Donny Osmond. And of course, that Al guy and his segway skillz!!! TOO MUCH!!!

Al had just made eye contact with me(for REALZ) as he was making the one ARMED comment in Albu-quirky. He recovers so quickly, that you almost believe he did it on purpose? Maybe he did??? Reminded me of a time long ago when he sang a completely different line in my direction during WBUL. Once again proving my Al Lyric Confusion glare(patent pending).

I enjoyed the Merrillville show and this one very very much. It will be great to see the guys in Michigan very soon WITH my SO this time, instead of solo.

Yep, the one-armed hermaphrodite and the list of donuts (see my sig) have to be my favorite parts of Albuquerque. But I think the audience participation for the whole show (Amish Paradise, The Saga Begins, Albuquerque) had to be my favorite part of the whole show. That was great.

And about the "do you think he does that for every show?" question, when me and my friend were leaving I asked that. I said, "It could be one of two things, 1) He really did mess up on the lyrics and recovered nicely, or 2) He does that for every show just to keep people on their toes.

But yea, I was a little disappointed when he cut ISY, my favorite original from SOL, but it's ok. I mean I would rather him cut Bob, but can't do anything about it now. GREAT SHOW AL!

Did he sing something in place of ISY?

No Yankobucks?! lol

EDIT: I just read earlier posts. My bad. That stinks, though.
