Oh, you know...the hits... "Smells Like Nirvana," "Fat," "Amish Paradise," "White and Nerdy," "Yoda." He didn't really do too much of his older stuff. A lot of the show was just sort of a medley, where he did one verse and chorus from one song, then went right into the next. And between costume changes, there were these "AlTV" segments shown on the big screen, which were pretty kickin'. They were basically snippets of interviews with celebrities where he made it seem as if he was the interviewer, thus putting whatever they said wildly out of context.

He opened with whatever his new polka-medley is called, then went into "Canadian Idiot" (parody of "American Idiot"). He said it was the first time he's played it in Canada, which was pretty cool.

And um...there was this drum solo that consisted of a couple snare hits and a cowbell. That was funny. For an encore he did a song called "We All Have Cellphones, So Come On People, Get Real" which was based on something Michael Stipe said in one of the fake-interviews. He finished off by playing "Albuquerque" in its entirety, which was probably the best performance of the night.

I highly recommend. Definitely the most entertaining concert I've ever been to.
