I hope he does more "concert-only" songs during the next tour. Or at least one. Hoping he hasn't moved away from doing that completely.

In re watching the Alpocalpse tour, one thing became clear. Aside from rock-rap songs, like Pentiums, and maybe Amish Paradise if it's placed at the beginning, there should be no rap in the medley at all.

I love Al's rap parodies, but they really mess up the flow of the medley. The medley works better when it's all rock and the songs can smoothly go from one to another.

Alimony is my favorite parody off of Even Worse.

Alimony would certainly be great in the medley. It's made to be performed in concert.

Here would be my picks, in no particular order except for the first song.

Amish Paradise
I Love Rocky Road
Living with a Hernia
Alimony
She Drives Like Crazy
Livin in the Fridge
Jurassic Park

That's as classic as I'll go for this list. But I'd also like to see "Pretty Fly for a Rabbi" return.

I don't think Amish Paradise will ever enter the medley. It is too big of a fan favorite for Al to remove it from the set. I, personally, would LOVE to see Syndicated Inc. Return with the accordian solo!

I actually wish he'd do Syndicated Inc. in its entirety. Somewhere right in the middle of the set.



The show is too long to go without a bathroom break. :good:
