Hey friends!  Earlier this month, you heard us talk about how updating the archives here on the site led us to realize that it’d been far too long since we did a Frank Zappa music show.  Similarly, we were reminded of a show that we did two years ago and meant to be the start of a new, annual tradition.  Unfortunately, we sometimes have the memory span of goldfish and totally forgot about it last year.  But this year, things will be different.  With this being Easter weekend, we proudly present to you our second ever “Easter with Al” music special.  Set out another plate, because Al is coming for dinner!

• Frank’s 2000-inch TV  (Alapalooza – Oct. 1993)
• Traffic Jam  (Alapalooza – Oct. 1993)
• My Baby’s In Love With Eddie Vedder  (Running With Scissors – June 1999)
