The European Tour 1988

[CatraDhtem]

The recent Australian tour thread and the Times Dispatch interview have made me start wondering something.



Imagine we're back in 1988. Al couldn't get a movie studio to greenlight "UHF," so he accepts Michael Jackson's invitation to be the opening act for Jacko's 1988 European tour.



What do you think that tour's setlist would have been like?



The Monkees gave Al about fifty minutes to do his opening set in 1987. As generous as that is for an opening act, I would like to think that Michael would give Al an extra ten minutes to let him do a full hour (after all, it would be Al's first tour outside of North America, and his recent success with "Even Worse" was due in part to a Michael Jackson parody).



Here's what I think such a show would have contained:



Eat It (good fake-out opening number for those there to see Jackson)

Lasagna

Melanie

Yoda

Another One Rides The Bus

Dare To Be Stupid

Like A Surgeon

Living With A Hernia

Alimony

One More Minute

I Lost On Jeopardy

Food Medley:

Theme From Rocky XIII, Addicted To Spuds, Spameater, Feel Like Throwing Up, A Matter Of Crust, Whole Lotta Lunch, I Love Rocky Road, My Bologna

Fat



I tried to keep in mind the eleven or so minutes needed for costume changes (which would be relatively light in this case). I also didn't want to make up new medley songs or include songs that the guys haven't normally performed live, hence the shortage of "Even Worse" tracks in my list.



Still, considering all that and the less-than-generous helping of originals, I think this is a good guess as to what Europeans would have seen, since it's a mix of songs from the then-recent "Even Worse" and Al's up-to-then hits.



Anyone else have any ideas? What about you European fans....what songs would you like to hear live if Al ever did a tour there?

that a pretty good idea for a setlist. Too bad UHf interfeered with it...it would have been alot of fun. But hey i, glad the movie was made. Heres my idea:



Eat It

Lasagna

Dog Eat Dog

Dare To Be Stupid

Living With a Hernia

Yoda

Melanie

I Think I'm a Clone Now

Addicted To Spuds

(This song's Just) Six Words Long

Food Medley: Theme From Rocky XIII, Spameater, Feel Like Throwing Up, A Matter Of Crust, Whole Lotta Lunch, I Love Rocky Road, My Bologna
