Weird Al Yankovic - Warfield - 2010-08-10

Dare To Be Stupid (jeffreyk)
In hopefully what proves to be the first of a series of surprises I have in store for you, I'm happy to report that I managed to take a break from my critical faculties and back in August attended the show for one Alfred Matthew Yankovic.  Most of you know him as "Weird Al."  I've been a fan of his for ages, ever since I saw his "Eat It" parody back in the '80s.  I also appreciate that Weird Al was one of the first musicians to embrace the Internet, and presently maintains a Twitter feed well worth following.  I took my 12 year old son, and had an extra ticket since the oldest didn't want to go since he had been having problems with his ears ever since we flew to Florida on a vacation the month before, so I offered my ticket to a quite appreciative co-worker whom I knew was a big fan.

 Of course, Weird Al was great, and the show was really entertaining.  There were quite a few of linking segments mostly featuring "Al TV" clips with his faux-interviews which you can find online.  This gave him a chance for him and his entourage to change outfits, which as you can see from the above snaps, they did quite often.
Anyway, without much further ado...my recording, taped from about a dozen rows or so up in the center of the balcony. .
