I’ve seen only one of those – Weird Al. He puts on a good show.
I got to Flaming Lips before I even recognized one, but after that I knew more than I thought I would. Not that I could tell you any songs they did, but even knowing who they were was a plus for me. My last two live concerts were Electric Light Orchestra and Michael Buble. Not even in the same ballpark!
I knew most and had seen alot.
