    Jeff Tweedy, Boulder Theater, Boulder CO, 1/7/2011

    in After The Show

    Posted

    Great show last night. My first, and definitely not my last, Jeff Tweedy show. I was up on the general admission balcony, and I must say that there wasn't a bad seat in the house.

     

    I have to say that I did not enjoy the Handsome Family (opening act). They are no doubt talented musicians, but their lyrics were extremely awkward in my opinion. I felt like there was little depth in what they were saying (a song about insects mating...). Was I the only one who was thankful when they finally finished their set?

    Thankful doesn't begin to describe it. Maybe I'm just old and crotchety? Or maybe they are quite bad, for the reasons you described so eloquently and accurately. Their between song 'banter' was painful and I kept waiting for some sort of redeeming quality in the music/lyrics. Even the electric guitar player, who was obviously quite talented, couldn't counteract the mess the other two were making. This is all just my opinion, so who cares? But I just had to say it. Yikes...

    Boulder Presale Password?

    Once upon a time, weren't pre-sale passwords emailed to those who had signed up for Wilco HQ updates? Maybe things have changed... Anyway, I would really appreciate a password PM so I can book a flight to see the show with my brother. :cheers

     

    Check this out - I saw Jeff solo in Nashville 4 yrs. ago or so...a member of this forum, through this forum, gave me a ticket for free...I bought him a beer at the show - he wouldn't take any money for the ticket. Incredibly generous of him. Thanks, man! :worship

     

    Thanks,

    I didn't think I'd be in town for this, but since I will be I gotta take a shot at tickets. Two would be splendid...three phenomenal (my wife should really see Wilco live sometime).

     

    I'm at whrrides@yahoo.com. Much obliged, Wilco faithful! :cheers

    Migraine Sufferers?

    in Tongue-Tied Lightning

    The first migraine I recall was during a basketball game in 7th grade (MANY moons ago - the only available decent hoops shoes were Chucks). The whole left half of the backboard was 'gone' when I looked at the hoop. :stunned Weird and scary at the time. For years , these episodes of partial blindness and visual distortions (chrystallines, M Christine?) would always culminate in crazy-bad pain and finally vomiting after a couple hours, which would end the whole episode. I, too, now only have visual disturbances which typically begin with a small blind spot and sometimes develope into elaborate flashing light shows...all of which is over in 20-30 minutes. I have no idea what my triggers are...

     

    Wilco in Denver on Sunday!!! (I wanted to end this on a good note!) :thumbup
