If only you had an American girlfriend, you could start saving up your pennies to visit her and maybe by next summer you'd be able to see him in Albuquerque...

Hmmm...this year was my first Al show, but I thought he kept Dare to Be Stupid in the set every tour, along with some of the 'bigger' songs like Amish Paradise, Smells Like Nirvana, Fat and Yoda. Then again, I was just assuming it.Orthography Enthusiast wrote:No, I don't think they're likely to be in the set next year. Usually the back catalog songs that get put into the setlist are in for one tour, and officially this tour is in support of "Essential" so it makes excellent sense to have them there now... not so much when the new album is out and Al will have the new parodies he wants to make known. I also don't think it's a slap in the face of any size. Set lists change, that's just the nature of following an artist with many successful years behind him and who's still producing new material that people want to hear. Al's not an oldies act. Not getting to hear DTBS and BH live is a huge disappointment, but really, a whole tour offers a reasonable opportunity to hear them, even if not everybody is able to. Be glad you're not Scottidog, who had to go 6 years between Al shows. And hey, this tour isn't over yet.
Dare to Be Stupid will most likely be dropped. The rest of those songs have a VERY good chance at being in the setlist next year.HappyGilmore wrote: Hmmm...this year was my first Al show, but I thought he kept Dare to Be Stupid in the set every tour, along with some of the 'bigger' songs like Amish Paradise, Smells Like Nirvana, Fat and Yoda.

I figured those 4 would likely be kept. I read an interview where he said if certain songs were dropped, fans would likely riot.Driew_La_27 wrote:Dare to Be Stupid will most likely be dropped.
