Someone told Weird Al, "Never change." Whoever that person is, thank you.

You never thought you'd see a rock star with an accordion huh? Well here he is.

This may be the all-time least Church of Christ medley I've ever seen him do.

[@Nn-3]

That drum solo 😂

[@RJLupin-zu9xv]

Anyone here in 2023? He still has the exact same guys with him, and they've only gotten better.

2024 after Polkamania dropped!

[@sketchesforyou8020]

Christ, that is some fast left hand movement from Al.

[@ManImJustSomeDude]

The polka medleys on every album are my favorite. Thank you Al.

[@BreadandFaxes]

This performance is absolutely incredible. The technical prowess of the musicians along with the sheer entertainment factor is off the charges. This is why Al and his band have been together forever.

[@docthemetalfreak]

I remember singing along with this when I first saw it. I sang along with it again seeing it today lol.

[@mikek4288]

i just did too and remembered every word

[@wa2k99]

His best medley ever

Lo bien que toca esta gente en directo, 10 de 5

[@eileenh4772]

2024 here. Saw live 1993

[@shaunoleary7092]

Wow - that would have been very tricky to play live!

[@dysequilibrium]

Amazing, thanks for uploading this gem!!

[@rjgoniea]

I doubt many people saw this live. I remember watching the telethon in the 80's and they'd say what great talent they had coming up soon. But I never saw them because the local affiliate took up the majority of each hour with their local pleas for donations. This made little sense to me. People weren't tuning in to see local celebs beg, they tuned in to see Jerry, Ed, and the entertainment Jerry gathered for the show. Gotta hand it to Al here. This is as close as I've ever heard a live performance matching the studio version on an album.

[@calixa]

absolutely epic. had this on tape when i was 12 and just watched the new polka banger he droppped in 2024!!! what a legend.

[@theknightshiftvideo]

I remember watching this that morning! Thanks for sharing 🙂

DRUM SOLO! 2:33

[@robbymulvany2109]

I've always been bothered by al saying "beat" instead of "hook" during Ice Ice Baby. There has to be a reason why he said it

[@natethefighter]

I wonder if it's a reference to when Vanilla Ice was trying to defend himself against plagiarizing "Under Pressure"? Ice would say that his song has an extra "beat".
