I don't care what anybody sais. Episode one did not suck!! Just my opinion, would rather them do Yoda too.
What a racket they're makin', Jack, they keep me up at night playin' their electric guitars!!

At the one show I've been to so far, they explicitly made an announcement at the beginning that no filming is permitted.

At least we can stream the shows in the summer. And I'm sure that one way or another (If you are tech savvy) there will be a way to save it. We'll just have to wait until then.

Yeah, video would be cool, but, It seems like a show that audio is enough. I'm sure we'll get a few videos thought the tour. There have already been a few short ones.

Without all of the theatrics of the regular show, video is not exactly a priority, I would imagine. I mean, they don't really employ visual aids at all during this tour. I think audio streaming only is perfectly fine, either way.

Also, recording audio of each show is as simple as pressing a record button on the soundboard. Recording video requires multiple camera operators and a switcher (plus editing later on).

I think a single hard cam would be fine.

Hope this is cool to post in this thread. I think it's awesome that Al and the band are doing straight covers of songs they enjoy. I'd like to make some predictions of songs that I think they will cover during the tour.

1. Beat On The Brat - Ramones
2. Surfin' Bird - The Trashmen
3. School's Out - Alice Cooper
4. Louie Louie - The Kingsmen
5. I'm Henry the 8th, I am - Herman's Hermits
6. Killer Queen - Queen
7. Radio Radio - Elvis Costello
8. Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting - Elton John
9. What I Like About You - The Romantics
10. Loser - Beck

That's just a handful of my guesses. Any guesses from you guys? :^)
