I wonder if he's under some kind of performance contract through his record company? It was a live broadcast show with eventual DVDs to be sold. My guess is that Sony would have forced them to cough up a part of every ticket sale and DVD sold, even if he really wanted to do it.

Oh well, he's not the reason why I bought the ticket (though I wouldn't have minded a song or two at all).

I wasn't expecting him to sing, but I was expecting him to riff on more than just one short.

Would have loved a performance, but Al DOES need a band for his songs, and I'd imagine it's harder to book the whole package.

He is now.

So it's great. :)
