Should Weird Al produce a concert hits album?

Anyone who has been to any of Weird Al's concerts knows that he has performed songs never released on an album or on a seperate single. These are what I refer to as the concert only songs. Does anyone else think it would be a good idea for Al to release these songs to the general public for once?

It would be nice to hear the laundromat song on a crisp clean studio release, but then Weird Al would lose his concert bait. So yeah, it would be great but I doubt it will happen before Al decides not to tour anymore.

He did a Live DVD, doesn't that have any of his concert-only songs on it?

No, the video didn't include any concert-only songs (at least the VHS didn't).

He can't release some of them because of the licensing and royalties involved. It's the same reason "Yoda," which is one of his oldest songs, didn't appear on CD until his third album. That, and it would take away some of the novelty of his live shows (which I have yet to attend, stupid scheduling conflicts).
