Other highlights were,
the song from yiddesh-gems 1 "The Torah," with a slide show playing different photos of the different countries which were being sung about. when the song reached "in miten veg der Malach geit zet er a Yid a meshulach gait der Tallis kotten lang un breit... they showed pictures of different Crown Hights celebrities like Charlie Buttons (who got the biggest applause of the night:-) ), Sydney and I think Zalmen Der Shikur, aswell as others. A.F. read the lyrics of the song from a sheet, which is understood, nobody expects him to know it by heart. At one point when he had to turn the page, he missed out on a word or two of the song.
They had different style hats on the stage floor, styles representing different countries. A.F. did not wear them. At the end of the song he said he'll do it "next time." basically reminding everyone that "my name is not Lipa!"
"Machshavot" the new single was nice.
"Ritzeih" from the album Brochoh V'hatzlochoh was very nice.
There was a nice medley of oldies.
When he sang Hop Cossack he walked off the stage into the crowed. At one point of the nigun he danced with an elderly chossid. I don't know the name of the elderly Jew but it was a classic. A.F. Remarked "my eldest fan."

There was a hilarious video of A.F. with Itche Kadoozy and Jone. I'm sure the video will be on the web soon.
The highlight of the evening was when they played a music video of a new song which will be on his up coming album (which BTW A.F. said "will imy"h be coming out in time for shvuess." the song is based on a Gemoro which says that when Hashem sees the Yidden in pain (in Golus) two teardrops fall from his eyes into the Yam Hagodol and it shakes the world. So in the song we ask Hashem that since the only one who could wipe away the tears is the one who created tears, we ask you Hashem to wipe away the all the tears forever. It's a beautiful song (though there are parts that don't have much of a tune) and a nice video. After the video A.F. said "tomorrow I'll find this video all over the internet!" so he asked everyone to please not do that.

Overall the concert was a very nice experience.
