From Deep Purple’s “Smoke on the Water” to Alice Cooper’s “School’s Out,” Weird Al and his band covered a different song for the encore each night for Yankovic’s recent “Ridiculously Self-Indulgent, Ill-Advised Vanity Tour.” Now he’s put together a video of all of those cover songs, 77 songs for 77 cities. It’s nearly half an hour long and there’s no footage, just the music, but it’s totally worth a look/listen (if for no other reason to appreciate the effort).
