“Weird Al” Yankovic Live! – The Alpocalypse Tour was shot this
summer at the venerable Massey Hall in Toronto during Weird Al’s
tour to support the release of Alpocalypse. His first
full-length studio album in nearly five years, Alpocalypse
(released by Jive/Sony in June) debuted at #9 on Billboard's Top
200 chart, Yankovic's highest-charting album ever. “Weird Al”
Yankovic Live! – The Alpocalypse Tour features hits off of
Alpocalypse like "Perform This Way," Weird Al’s parody of Lady
Gaga's "Born This Way," which garnered over six million video
views in its first week of release, as well as many of the
legendary artist’s greatest hits, including "White & Nerdy,"
"Amish Paradise" and "Fat."
