Has he actually played the bowling song recently?

Someone on a blog somewhere said he played it for the first time since the album and people were booing by the time it got to the chorus so he stopped.

Other then that, has anyone seen him play "Almighty Malachi" recently?

I know he does a new one line bowling song telling the person who shouts it out, so I'm not talking about that.

Someone requested it at the Moravian show a few years ago, and he said "maybe as an encore, but i forget the how to play it so maybe it'd be cool if someone came up here and played it later." or something like that, but it never happened, he either forgot, or was BS-ing. That would have been cool though. ;D

Stephen played most of "Malachi..." at the early show at the House of Blues in Atlantic City this past July. I doubt you'll ever hear it live again.

I was there, at the HOB when he played "the Bowling Song" and I LOVED every minute of it!! People started booing, he stopped, and I was sad. He also played "Mixer At Delta Chi", at the later show, which is a rare one.

That sucks.

Another song I'm curious about, Special Olympics. Has he played it recently?

Most people shout out either "Bowling Song" or "Freebird" because they want a few seconds of interaction with Stephen during a show. I actually like the version that's on Superhero and never heard the original until I stumbled across an Opie & Anthony clip from 2 yrs ago on YouTube. They played it on the air to embarrass poor Stephen! If that wasn't bad enough, they added sound effects to it! I do have to admit that, while I would never shout out such a facetious request (the Foxwoods crowd was pretty sedate on that subject, by the way), I love his now infamous response:

"You want the Bowling Song? Here you go: Why don't you bowl my nuts into your mouth?"
