they started at 8 o'clock in portland and played for 35-40 minutes. jeff came out at 9.

 

i really liked the crowd also, after being worried at the thought of not being able to hear or see jeff if people were loud and jumping up and down. we could feel while listening that the crowd loved jeff, and the great enthusiasm -- loud and lengthy whooping and clapping -- between songs and at the end of the show was delightful.

totally agree with all of the recent comments... crowd was very respectful of the performer and the uniqueness of the setting... lots of goodwill between the audience and jeff, i thought... sang along where appropriate and enjoyed the clarity of his voice and wonderful guitar when not joining in.. and my 15 year old daughter loved it... her "second" show.. she saw wilco in newport when she was 8 or 9 but doesn't really remember... a great time for us and a great road trip to see jeff.

highlights for us.. via chicago/remember the mountain bed/iattbyh opener was killer.. that "blue light" guy was right in front of us.. hilarious... haste ye back/"salted milk" exchange... is there a seal in here? all awesome.. you are not alone was fantastic... several songs cast a spell including the new one... magazine called sunset got everyone going... shot in the arm, of course.. and the finale featuring walken (with fantastic guitar) and acuff-rose minus any amplification was inspired.

jeff never disappoints... and this on the heels of the 3 hour, 37-song "an evening with wilco" tour shows such generosity as a performer that you just don't see.. amazing, really. can't cherish these shows enough... seriously

just downloaded and formatted in itunes... sounds fantastic. much love to the dude who put in the effort.. thank you! rock on!

great, great show.. it seemed like the outtasite final song was spontaneous with jeff going around to call it out to everyone else.. i'd like to think it was in response to the crowd vibe being so positive, but who can know such things.. i'll just go forth and assume that that's what it was.... great booked to the pines theater show which i thought, perhaps given the venue, was a little (just a little, mind you) mellower and folkier.. last night it just seemed that the guitars came out to play. spiders seemed to rock harder this time around... imho. all in all.. great trip through town... wish i could go to shelburne (the venue looks awesome) but too far to roundtrip. enjoy!
