But the Alpocalypse Tour was weird in that it was kind of just a continuation of the Internet Leaks Tour with a few changes made.

A possible, if not likely, new section for the Yoda Chant - the opening chant from "Frozen". It's not as memorable as some of the other songs from the movie, but I know a lot of 8-10 year old girls who can sing from memory every song in the movie, including that opening chant. If Al's daughter is like them, he might already have that song stuck in his head.

We all know Al loves irony, and I think having the chant be longer than Yoda would certainly be..ya know..ironic..so I say being it on. Make it as long as possible.

As it stands, I think the chant is close to the length of the studio version of Yoda. I could be wrong though, since I haven't really timed it lately.

I would LOVE to see Al add the beginning piece from Quantum Jump's "The Lone Ranger" which is a Maori place name I think.... Taumata­whakatangihanga­koauau­o­tamatea­turipukaka ­pikimaunga ­horo­nuku­pokaiwhenua­kitana­tahu

I love it as is.

Although, I was talking to a couple people at the Philly show, who've never seen Al live before, and they were telling me that it was the weirdest thing they've seen. I was like "Well, it's gotten longer over time. It was shorter." And then tried explaining it, but. :huh:

Should stay as is, adding a bit more each tour so there's something new but so it doesn't get too much longer. Was close to saying scrap it so we can hear more old stuff but that would never happen nor would the show be normal without it.
What a racket they're makin', Jack, they keep me up at night playin' their electric guitars!!
