| Weird Al Yankovic on stage with Sparks....was it "When You're A French Director"??…… Not on the play list but can imagine it would work. |

| Sounds unreal! Can't find the video as of yet. Really hope there are some to see, either just a few videos or (hopefully) a fan that recorded the concert in its entirety (it does happen, lol). Wish I could have been there though!! |

| I actually just saw this b/c I thought to look at fb (which I hardly ever do). Guess its on their main page, too (the fb link). Thinking about it, it would have been extremely WEIRD if Weird Al did "I Wish I Looked A Little Better" w/Sparks, instead of "Amateur Hour". It sounds just like a Weird Al song!!! |

Wow, they played Now That I Own the BBC! Love this track! I'm dying to see a video of this performance. Wonder if there is one. By the way, didn't they play At Home, At Work, At Play after Propaganda? |

I love that song, too! So dance-y and fun. I also thought it was odd that 'ATAWAP' wasn't listed on the setlist. I was sorta thinking that they did play it and maybe the setlist online is still getting tweaked (as I have seen before)? But maybe not?? Weird. |

They played BC tonight and not NTIOTB and didn't play Change in the encore.
A fantastic gig that was being filmed. Nothing held back. Unlike UK gigs there was no attempt to stop the crowd being at the front from the very start of the gig, not sure I'd have appreciated if I'd bagged front row seats ! |

Maybe another 'Weird' surprise?

| Def nice to see the videos, especially "Angst in my Pants" (for me at least). I keep wondering why the videos are so far away though? |

Thanks for the insider-info! Great news that it was being filmed! I guess maybe this might be in the big documentary coming out someday? Or do you think it will be a live dvd? They could/should do a live dvd from every tour (like Depeche Mode normally does), I would absolutely buy every one of them!! |

There were signs up saying it was being filmed as part of a documentary being made by 'Halfnelson Films UK' and that by being there you were consenting to taking part. |

It seems that B.C. was played both nights. There's no BBC on the setlist now.
Hope the Mexico show will be great too. It's a bit sad that the Hippopotamus-era tour is coming to an end... |
