“Weird Al” Yankovic

In October 1999, "Weird Al" Yankovic was riding high on a wave of success with his album "Running with Scissors," which had been released just a year prior. This live recording of "Dare To Be Stupid" captures the quirky essence of Al’s performances during his concert tour. Not only does this song showcase his signature style of blending humor with music, but it also emphasizes his knack for engaging audiences. Fascinatingly, "Dare To Be Stupid" itself was released back in 1985, making it a beloved classic that continued to resonate with fans. This concert, recorded at the Marin Veterans' Memorial Auditorium, reflects Al's status as a cultural icon—he consistently brings energy and a unique comedic flair to his live shows, ensuring that even long-time hits feel fresh and vibrant.
