World of Weird Al Yankovic

I end up seeing "Bob" about twice as often as "Why Does This Always Happen To Me?." I don't know if it's because he performs "Bob" more, or if it's just a coincidence. So I'm starting a roll call. I know a lot of the concert review topics already have this information, and I'll go back and research it if I have to, but I thought it would be more fun if you just reported in this topic on whatever concerts you went/go to, and I'll update the list in this post. Post the date and song. I already added the shows I was at.

Dave

July 18th was WDTAH.

It sure seems like it's a 2:1 ratio.

May 2nd = "Bob".

Well, I've only been to one show that you haven't been to... May 24th... and I'm remember it being WDTAHTM, although I will go back to my pictures to confirm.

July 5th - Bob

July 3 = Why Does This Always Happen To Me (With special guest Ben Folds playing on keyboards!)

Bob- June 30

I have a complete list of these on my computer at home Dave from all the shows that were posted about on this forum. I'll be on my was home from Columbus tomorrow, but I think this is a great topic. I had compiled a list because I had thought about this topic as well. I thought it would be interesting.

Going to the soundchecks early in the tour, though, it seemed that Al just decided Bob or Why on the spot. It seemed to kind of have to do with the type of venue the song would be best in, but now those venues have seemed to be reversed in the songs. So, I really don't think that there is a rhyme or reason to it. Saying that, though, it seems that Why has been more likely lately, but still around the 2:1 ratio.

"With Ben Folds" should have its own section in the first post!

Added May 2, June 30, July 3, 5, 18 - Thanks!

Ok, let me know when you can confirm it. Unless someone else does first.

Cool! I'm glad I wasn't the only one curious about this.
