Brian's "Weird Al" Yankovic Page

There are already several good general "Weird Al" Yankovic pages out there, most noticeably Jon "Bermuda" Schwartz's. Jon has been Al's drummer since the start of the band, and his page is the definitive source for information about Al. He also has links to most of the other "Weird Al" pages. Another page I highly recommend is Marty Lick's Al-oholics Anonymous page. He has an incredible amount of information about Al.

Because there are so many general "Weird Al" pages, I decided to make my page just pictures that I've taken at concerts and other cool stuff I've got. I've been to five concerts now, at Green Bay, WI (10/28/95), Rockford, IL (7/14/96), Waukesha, WI (7/20/96), Rosemont, IL (8/15/96), and Peoria, IL (8/17/96). I'll identify the concerts below.

Update, 4/22/00

This page has not been updated in over two years, but look forwards to some new information in the coming months. I'm currently finishing my final year of college, but once that is done, I will be devoting time to these pages, and will put up some new pictures from more recent concerts. Stay tuned.

Update, 4/22/00

In response to many emails I have received, I have added a brief bit of information about how I received the above backstage pass. I hope you find the information helpful.

My ticket from the Rockford concert, signed by Jon.

My ticket from the Peoria concert.

Here are a series of pictures taken at the concert at Waukesha, WI on July 20, 1996.

Al and the band do their thing during "Like a Surgeon." This picture was taken by holding the camera over my head and aiming at the stage, so please excuse the fact that I missed most of the band.

Al sings while Bermuda plays in the background during "Like a Surgeon."

The fans are transfixed by Steve Jay's playing during "Like a Surgeon."

Al putting his foot behind his head during "Like a Surgeon."

Al sings while Jim West, Bermuda, and Steve play in the background. This was the only date of the Bad Hair Tour that I attended that Jim was at.

DRUM SOLO!

GUITAR SOLO!

The band playing during "The Biggest Ball of Twine in Minnesota."

BASS SOLO!

Gee...Al's a nerd...

The band playing during "Smells like Nirvana."

At that point I ran out of film. :( ... Hopefully I can get the KEYBOARD SOLO! next time I see them at an outdoors concert.

And now, for something completely different...

['Fake Al' Yankovic]I met an authentic "Weird Al" Yankovic impersonator at the 1997 Decatur Celebration. He signed autographs and sang a couple of Al songs.
