Satan Your Kingdom Must Come Down is also not a Jeff composition, but a traditional song. I would say he is, at the very least, skeptical of organized religion in its modern form. I am just basing this on lyrics, interviews, etc -- no official statement or anything.

Anybody have an mp3 of the live "Theologians" that was on the "One True Vine" release?

I was watching this clip from Little Rock:

Is this a new guitar? Anybody got an ID on it?

What exactly does "active" refer to?

Good info rockinrob. Is it also possible to play the M1-A through an amplifier (hopefully one made specifically for acoustic guitars?)

Both of these can be played by putting a capo at the 2nd fret, but leaving your low E string un-capoed; essentially creating a drop D tuning. From there, it's not too difficult to piece together Jeff's picking. To me, the solo Spiders is phenomenal -- the whole song just takes on a completely different personality than the rocking live version. Incidentally, if anyone has an mp3 of it, I'd love to have a good version. I saw him open with it in New Orleans and Atlanta in January this year.

Thanks.

I was thinking about going with the Baggs M1 as well -- I have a Santa Cruz 000-12. Glad to read the opinions here. What sort of amps are you guys playing through -- specifically acoustic amps or just directly into PA?

Also Kalle, how's the 000-15? I have been eyeing those lately. They seem like a relatively good deal for a Martin 000.

Two framed Hatch Show Prints -- one from Wilco at the Ryman, and one from Tweedy at the Tabernacle (both gifts from my wife); two ice cream cone shirts for my 5 and 2 year old sons; and of course all of the music in various forms.

Analogman, I noticed the equipment too. Weird to see no Vox behind Jeff. Limited pedals for Nels and Jeff too. But it was good getting an up close and clear view of the Barney Kessel.

If you were in Atlanta in June and heard them open with "Maybe the sun will shine..." in the pouring rain, then you were pleased like I was to hear Either Way last night. Great song. Also, great trousers from Nels!

Thanks to both of you for your help!

After he talks backstage with Fred Armisen and before taking the stage in San Francisco in the movie, there is footage of Jeff backstage playing a few lines from a song with the lyrics "...perfume in the night...it's not even half as nice as you...I set my sights on one whispery kiss..." My friend and I were trying to figure out what song this is, and better yet, if there is a recorded version out there. This seemed like the best place to find out. Thanks in advance for the help VC.

I'll go with 1/29/07 at the Tabernacle in Atlanta. After seeing him in New Orleans three days before, my wife and I changed our plans, got my parents to keep the kids, and went to this show on a last minute whim (thanks to StubHub.) Great venue, great crowd, great setlist, and Mr. Tweedy was in top form. Incidentally, if anyone knows of or has a recording of this show, I would love to have it! Thanks.

He has been playing a Santa Cruz OOO -- In fact I bought one in January and it is unbelievable. However, he has been playing a Breedlove OOO on this SBS tour recently. I saw them in Atlanta at Chastain, and he used the Breedlove -- and I have seen several pictures and videos from the last couple of months in which Jeff has been playing the Breedlove. The two look extremely similar, except the Breedlove has a little more elaborate inlay on the slotted headstock. Also, the Breedlove website now has a welcome message to Jeff Tweedy, and they even say they are working with him on developing a new guitar. Can't wait to see what this turns out to be -- probably need to start saving $ now to afford it!

Cheers.

Anyone get a photo of the "Sellout" T-shirt -- sounds pretty funny.

14th row in the pit. there's no city curfew we have to worry about like the folks from Iowa had to deal with last night is there?
