O my god o my god!! Me and my sister were one of the first ones here and when I got out of the car I hear music and they were rehearsing so I practically ran over to try to see and I asked the lady if I could see and she said no so I just listened by the busses. When they were done he was going into the busses ans someone saw himbefore me and said hi and Al cane to the fence and said hi! I was so shocked I could not saw a word I just stood there with my mouth open. I tried to tak a pic but I videos me listening to the music so I just basically taped him walking away and then he just got out again to go in the little trailer waiting area like thing. I am just si flippen shocked I can't believe it!!!

Does anyone here remember if Al ever had a concert sell out?

Lots of times.. London for one that I know of, and Twitter often has ppl complaining they left it too late and none are left

This venue no where near sold out- it was a pitiful turn out but there were still a fair amount of people. No meet and greet tonight. The guy said Al had to get back to the hotel to work on the PTW video. Pity- I was actually going to try to talk to him this time lol. O well- still had an amazing time. Got lots of pics and some video with my camera but I never realized how bad my camera Is since I usually just take pictures of my daughter with it but they turned out real bad tonight. May have gotten a few good ones if I do I will put them on here when I get the chance. Loved the whole thing. Got to see new things like franks 2000 inch tv, ydlma, and the Internet leaks songs. When he went up in the crowd for wbul he went to the opposite side of where I was it looks like he was going to make his way over but had to get back onstage. Couldnt see exactly what happened but song guy got on front of Al when he was singing and Al pushed him to the side. I was close to the front but they were not the greatest seats. When we got there I went to get a shirt and my sister got water and went to our seats which we did not find out until almost dhow time that we were in the wrong seats. They were kind far from the stage but were a great view and were stadium seating. Our sears were fold out chairs that were really close together and I could only see Al through a couple of peoples heads. I had my camera flash on for a while since rhe pics came out better but I think it bothered them once it got dark so I turned it off. It looked like Steves instruments were not working during fat and tsb because during fat he was toward the back by I guess it was the amp and during tsb he had his hands in his robe not playing. There were quite a few videos in between that I had nor seen. I am sure there Is a lit more to say but its almost 1 and I dont want to type with this iPod anymore. Sorry if my kinda review is all over the place and lots of grammar, I need to get to sleep cuz my daughter will probably decide to wake up really early tomorow . I will try to type or just edit this into a more organized review of my night tomorow but for now good night.

Just got back from the show (I drove from near Indianapolis). It was a fun venue! Standard set list tonight. I noticed a couple small differences (or I may have not noticed this before). During Anohter One Rides the Bus Jon played some sound effects (whistles and other sound effects)
Al was in great form and put on a great show. The band sounded great as well. Regarding Steve, during TSB I have seen him stand without playing his guitar.
There were a couple small technical problems. During the polka, Jon's drums were not mic'd correctly. When they got it mic'd correctly it got a lot louder. Also Steve's mic was not on and they ran another cable to him. I was amazed how seamlessly they got the sound problems fixed. Also somewhere during one of the Al TV segments one of the projectors messed up and part of the image was blacked out. During CL it carried over but they also got that quickly fixed.
Overall a great show and a nice play to see Al! I had a blast.

I asked the lady if I could see and she said no

Did you just ask once? They usually back off when you grill them hard enough.

I liked the video slection during costume changes on this tour. I only saw Halloween 2 re-make in theatres and didn't like it half as much as the first remake, so I didn't buy it. At the show last week I was surprised to see the cameo Al did for the movie and was surprised I didn't remember he was in the movie at all. So I went and bought the movie on the weekend, much better than the first time I watched it.....mostly because of Al's 2 little scenes, was worth it. Gotta give huge thanks to Rob Zombie for having Al in the movie!

No i only asked once. They finsihed soon after I got there- I heard part of the polka and PTW.

I liked the video's. I had never seen the Halloween and a few of the Al-tv's which i though i had seen them all. I wish he came farther up my row during WBUL. He went quite far up into the opposite side- too far for me to push through.

I dont mean to double post but it would not let me add to my previous post for some reason:

Here are my pics from last night that I posted on facebook. I set the album to public. There are a few of me and my grouchy sister(who did not want to go and would never admit that she had fun even though i know she did). They are not very good but i did not have a good view of the stage

Most of my friends on my facebook are family members who are not Al fans so thats why some descriptions are like talking to a baby- they dont know anything about Al stuff...lol

I was at the concert last night as well - my first time at Riverbend/PNC Pavilion and my first Al concert. Had a blast though!

My favorite part was PTW with Al in the peacock suit. I have to admire him for being able to wear that thing on stage when it's in the mid to upper 80s with high humidity...

Took lots of pictures, some of which turned out pretty nice. I was in section 203, row j, so I was kind of far, but my camera has 12x optical zoom on it, so I made good use of that. Didn't take any videos due to being so far back.

I'll post pictures soon.
