Yeah... bummed he did not show on Thursday, but it was still a friggen awesome show. Adding Yo La Tengo my list

I would if I lived anywhere near there...at the very least you'll see a great Yo La Tengo show!!!

I'm about 20 minutes away .. it would be silly not to try.

I am going Thursday night ...just in case

Already got my tickets. Looking forward to it.

I doubt you come off as badly as you imagine, Barb, but I know the feeling! I think part of the "problem" is that Jeff is so fully attentive to whoever he's talking with, and with that direct gaze...it's almost a bit unnerving! Few people are good at really giving someone undivided attention, but Jeff does. Your brains probably aren't actually leaking out your ears though, because gentleman that he is, I'm sure he'd offer you a tissue if they were.

 

I'll bet he comes across a lot of people who are thrilled to meet him but are struck dumb in the moment!

 

patrickhayes, very classy of you to restrain yourself and let John have his bits of privacy. He's such a sweetheart that I'm sure he would have been happy to speak with you, but he must really appreciate the probably all-too-rare moments when folks just let him be. I heard that Avila Beach show was a really special one, with a great relaxed vibe. Probably just what the band needed before their big Hollywood Bowl show.

 

Thanks!!!

I really cannot offer any advice for not looking like a loser. I've met Jeff a few times, and each time I come off looking like a total ass. I am a fairly intelligent, witty woman -- but turn into a babbling idiot in JT's presence. It's like my brains leak out my ears.

"This I learned without warning" I heard as "Silent without warning", which took a lovley song about the complex father-son relationship, and turned it into a song about farts.

This is a lot harder that whihc Wilco song I don't like. Given some thougth, Boys. I do like maxwell's Silver hammer.

Wow --- so glad my sister completely blew me off when she got a better offer -- even I said on Monday let's do something this weekend and she said yes. If she was not so selfish and put her family way down at the bottom of her list, I would not be able to watcc this live stream. (I'm a little pissed at my sis and just needed to vent. Thanks all!)

Regarding the crowd,I was in the pit between John and Pat.. there was some stage stormers who kind of got in the otehrs way. Then there was a little fight...(at a Wiclo show?!?!?!?!?). Then all calmed down. By the end when the pit filled up, it was pretty cool. The floor was moving which was cool. But there were a few tense moments early on.

I laughed at Jeff walking around at the beginning.

 

I've had dreams exactly like this... where I'm the bald guy... except not bald\

Looks like pretty soon Jeff will be the bald guy -- patch in the back keeps getting bigger and bigger.

I haven't even watched this yet, but... doesn't Jeff sound bored and/or ticked off almost all the time?

 

I was at both those shows .. and some of the request may have threw him, but did not impact the performance one bit. He was awesome! And the fact that he worked the cobwebd outta a few of the old ones showed - to me - that it did matter.

Waaaaaaaaa!!! I will be in CA that whole week for work. Killing me. KILLING ME!!!!!! AHHHHH!

Bummer -- don't have an ipad... and since I will be traveling all over the Northeast following the boys, don't have the fund to get one.

Totally disagree -- Glenn is number one by a long shot. His cuteness has absolutely nothing to do with his job. Then John , then Pat, then Jeff (really, most gorgeaus eyes I've ever seen on a man) then Jeff, then Mikael, then Nels

Good for you. If there were no scalpers, there would not be the need for scalpers. I justcan't belives that site like Stubhub -- which had tickets for anywhere from $65 to $1000, does not put some kind of increase limit? I saw tickets for the Central park shows -- which were $45 for GA -- up to $500. Why is this legal? If I sold them on the sidewalk, I'd get arrested. Sigh.

Great interview!

I love him....seen him a bunch of time w/ the Minus 5, Robyn H, the Baseball Profect and John Wesley Harding. Lots of fun (he also is the roadie, too!)

Not to flog this topic any further, but I think the brown hat is an intentional mismatch. He seems to have a cultivated slob look most of the time, and you can't clean up too good, ya know. Glen looks uncomfortable but stylish indeed.

 

Whenever I post a snap of JT on Facebook, I have a flurry of comments about "that homeless guy." "Who's the homelss guy with the guitar?" "They let a homeless guy in that nice place?" "Hey, I think I gave the guy 89 cents in the subway."

I'm gonna tty and get tickets... assume it's 10 am CT?

I think the hat if for the ever widening bald spot on the top of his head.

Of course last year The Black Keys won Best Alternative Album over Arcade Fire, and then an hour later Arcade Fire won Album of the Year. So yes, the Grammys are weird.

 

This year Best Rock Album will NOT be awarded during the TV broadcast, but during the pre-telecast ceremony. You can catch it online starting at 1:00 Pacific Time on Sunday afternoon.

I was wondering. At least I don't have the waste my evening watching...

I keep getting a message that the item is not available. What up?

You know what they need? Jello. There's always room for Jello.
