    Worth waiting for. Just a killer show from the outset. Where does he get the energy? His band have been with him forever, and there's apparently nothing they can't do. Great film vignettes. Terrific set list.

    Brilliant show. I was expecting it to be good, but not that good. Brought 5 people with me who would never bought tickets without me pushing it and we all came out delighted.

    Mimicking the Happy video, Al began the show by singing Tacky outside the venue, with a camera tracking him and the footage projected on screen. He walked into the venue, worked his way through the loading area and out onto the stage, where he concluded the song. Then they did Lame Claim to Fame and Now That's What I Call Polka, by which point you'd probably arrived.

    Here's the full set list...

    Tacky
    Lame Claim to Fame
    Now That's What I Call Polka!

    He started Tacky on the streets outside the venue, as shown on the screen including interactions with randomers, and made his way into the venue and onstage about halfway through the song.

    Given the nature of the streets surrounding Vicar St. I was somewhat worried for his safety!

    Just wanted to add to the praise for this, a great fun gig with one of the best gig entrances I've seen, plus one of the best encores. I brought a friend who didn't really know his stuff at all and they ended up having a ball. Great fun.

    On the subject of the entrance, I think most people who appeared in the background as Al walked toward Vicar St. were his people e.g. the two "hookers" were the cheerleaders for Smells Like Nirvana, but there was a guy wearing his hood up who appeared briefly right at the very start and gave Al a real WTF look that appeared to be genuine! Thought that moment was just brilliant.

    Amazing gig, his energy is incredible really. That bizarre weird 'sound' melody halfway through Yoda was one of the most impressive concert feats I've ever seen :P

    Where else in your lifetime would you ever hear Smells Like Teen Spirit music in the same show as American Pie. What a day it was to be alive :pac:
