We sat in a corporate booth at the outdoor theater. No rain or bugs. Free food and drinks.
Al puts on a hell of a great family friendly show. My only disappointment was he didn't do his first hit single to chart "Ricky" below.
Two hours of hilarious fun. The show sold out some time ago.
After the concert we watched the fireworks across the river in Omaha: http://studio.omaha.com/?ndn.trackingGroup=91341&ndn.siteSection=omahalanding&ndn.videoId=29320159&freewheel=91341&sitesection=omahalanding&vid=29320159

Storm troopers on stage below. I bought her the Al Star Wars shirt.

25. S'all good OS. Nothing but love and respect here.
Have fun at Al's show. 25 years ago my band did a short tour with Al. It was supposed to be a one-nighter but Al took a shine to us and took us along for 6-7 shows. He was total class, payed us real well and was a joy to be around. A true gentleman.
