We still perform Eat It, although it's been in the medley for a while.



There have been a lot of songs that we played on a tour or two, and then stopped. Just check the set lists section at weirdal.com (under "Archives")



But we've also brought songs back, such as Dare To Be Stupid, Rocky Road and I Lost On Jeopardy, so I couldn't say that anything has been permanently retired. In fact, a few more songs are being un-retired for the upcoming shows in July. :)

"Unretired songs" is one of the reasons I'm coming out for all 6. The thing that would thrill me the most though would be "new, never heard songs."



Any chance of that happening?

Nah, I can't see any new songs being performed in July...Al seems to be making little or no effort to put an album out this year...Remember, he's married now and his priorities are a bit different this time around. He might decide to give new music a rest for 20 years or so and make a humongous Kiss-like comeback in the future...



Please prove us wrong, Bermuda, and say he's done something for the new album...

Al being married has nothing to do with his priorities about his life's work.



As for the July shows, yes, there are different songs in the set. We already played the fair twice on the last tour, doing the same show, so we'll be updating it significantly!





As for a new album, please keep an eye on weirdal.com for progress reports as they occur.
