World of Weird Al Yankovic

How many of you have been to a concert from the 1980's?

I saw him every time he got close (pretty sure, been a while) 83,84,85 & 87. Then it was a few years till I saw him again.

No...



but I would have!



If I wasn't still in kindergarten.



Oh, and knowing about Al would have helped, too.



Smegabyte *born in the 80's*

being the ripe old age of 4 (5 and the end) at the most I might have.. but wouldn't remember :nervous:

I was also a child in the 80's, and did not really know who Al was then. My earliest memory of Al was seeing the Fat video on TV when I was about 7 years old. I didn't become a fan until 1993, and my first concert was actually 8 years ago today (August 14). *sniffle* Ah, the memories...



C-type

I was born in the 80s, too. But I would have gone!! :biggrin:



*Me

I saw the guys when they opened for The Monkees in '87. I was going as a Monkees fan, but was pleasantly surprised when the newspaper mentioned that Al was the opening act (I believe my reaction was, "Oh look. That guy!"). I liked Al then, but only in passing....I wasn't a "fan" by definition yet.



I didn't know too many of Al's song at that point, just pretty much whatever was made into a video (I believe we rented "The Compleat Al" a day or two before just so I would know some of them for the concert). I remember being a little disappointed that only about a third of "Eat It" was performed in the medley.



But otherwise, I remember thinking it was a great set and I had a greater respect for Al as a performer. It only took me another six years to become a die-hard fan.

I would have...But also due to being born in the 80s...



..Yeah.

I would have been there in a heartbeat!! But, I was born in 1987, so you do the math.

well, I surely was old enough to see an AL concert in the 80s, but I never got around to seeing him till 92, for the OTDE tour. although I have been a fan of AL ever since I first heard eat it
