I really wish he'd change it up and pull out a bunch of his older stuff, or at least do the newer songs that don't get concert versions.
The only time Al can apparently really justify changing his setlist substantially is when he releases a new album and tours to support it. Since he hasn't released anything new in the past year and a half and he hasn't announced plans to change the setlist, it's safe to assume this one will be the same as the second DVD. Al has recorded some new songs for his next album. There's a chance he could debut one of them this year, but that's unlikely to happen since this is still "The Alpocalypse Tour" and not another "inbetween albums" tour like in 1995 or 2010.

Fun show with an amazing crowd. Sold out. Was lucky to find a guy who had an extra at the door. Crowd was energetic all night.
There was a new pre-show CD, which I didn't take time to take down. Enjoyed talking with the guys that I was able to get the ticket from. Will take those tracks down this summer, if it's played again. I'll have more shows to work with then.
BEST PERFORMANCE OF CRAIGSLIST. Tonight had the best performance of Craigslist that I have seen since Al has done the song. Amazing movement on stage. The stumbling was perfect. At the start of the song, Al jumped down to his knees, stretching his arm with the mic stand around his body. Later in the song, flailing around with the mic stand perfectly. Just an amazing, so energetic performance. Vocals were absolutely perfect, as well. The coffee shop was Coffee Ethic on the Square.
First time I had actually sat on an orchestra floor with the new lights set-up. On the orchestra floor, the new light blocks look more like lights rather than decorations, as they do from balcony seating. Also, the third block set was not viewable from my seat, so the lights in Yoda looked like Yo-Yo-Yo-YOA.
I tried to watch tonight's show more as a casual fan, so to not bother the guys I got my ticket from. It's interesting the different things that you can spot, if you take a chance to just step back for a moment.
Fun night. Can't wait for June.
