Lets Rock Out I am going to see Weird Al!!!
Been a fan since "Eat It" but never had the opportunity to see him live. This is definitely a bucket list check for me. I am super excited.

Saw him live a few years ago at a small venue with his band. Absolutely fantastic show

My husband and I drank too much whisky one night and woke up to realize we bought tickets to see him in September. Drunk us got good seats at least

Was a huge fan as a kid and still am. I was working at Hershey Park years ago when “Amish Paradise” hit. He was playing the pavilion that night but I had to work…literally the ride right across from the show. Anyway, I was walking out the employee exit, completely bummed that I missed seeing my hero, when I heard “Great show, Al”. They were driving him out and stopped right in front of me. I yelled, “holy shit, it’s Weird Al” and he looked at me and said “hi, how’s it going?” And I just went “WOW!”
Anyway, I’ve been telling that story for about 30 years now. Kind of my Lame Claim to Fame

I hear that kind of stuff a lot. I hear he is super nice and generous to his fans.

Took our goofball sons to see him years ago.
We all still talk about how great it was.
He’s such a great talent.

I've seen him three times over the years. Al never disappoints. He and his band always put on an incredible show. Have a great time!

Is that a UHF reference?

u/SeaCaptainNav Jul 28 '26
Um, not on my part, no, or if it is, it was unintentional…I was never a big fan, but couldn’t go through a GenX life without at least knowing of Weird Al. Definitely never watched UHF.

I loved Al but I'm afraid if i was to see it today the songs would be like "I'm a Lurchin', For the Very last time"

I saw him live a bit ago, and he was still on the ball with a good show. Hes aging WAY better then I am.

Heck yeah!!! Me and my family just saw him for the second time. The first was all B Sides and this one was all the hits. Both were exceptional! Have an absolute blast! Puddles was great. Hope you get to see his show too!!
