| Played near Buffalo last night. Great show.played over 2 hours and figuring most of the band is in their 70s and it was over 90 degrees and humid. I was impressed played all the hits and was clearly having fun. The audience was certainly a unique crowd. But i have no room to judge |

Al has an extremely talented bunch backing him up on his shows. From a musical perspective, they're top-notch- they all play multiple instruments at virtuoso level, and to affect a realistic parody, they learn all the fine nuances, and know how to set up their instruments and equipment to make the myriad of sounds and textures that the original songs held. And they change outfits. And the MAKE UP CREW is FANTASTIC... not only do they make those costume changes in the blink of an eye... THEY put on outfits, come out on stage, and add to the show. On Smells Like Nirvana, those cheerleaders (like the ones in the Nirvana video (Smells Like Team Spirit) are the make-up crew, and yes, one of the girls intentionally grows big hairy armpits, because that's what Al had them do in the video. When Al blasts out from backstage with the accordion, yes- he's playing that million-mile-an-hour accordion part. The knee-slide rarely falls short of the front edge of the stage, and in many cases, he overshoots a little. My wife and I were front-row and caught him, and it was a good thing- the front stage lip at the Adler Theater is about 5ft above the walkway, he would've taken quite a header getting launched over the lip. He is an incredible entertainer, extremely intelligent, and when not in stage-face, he's a genuine down-to-earth nice guy. ------------- Ten Amendments, Ten Commandments, and one Golden Rule solve most every problem. Citrus hand-cleaner with Pumice does the rest. |
