Bandita

I guess I am just used to this setting as I was raised in the general area and know how these benefits go.

I'm sorry to the person who said Beacon was depressing. It's actually a very nice little Hudson River town and I always enjoy driving up that way hugging the Hudson and just taking in the view.

I don't think the show was silly at all and I found it nice that Jeff was aware of his setting and the presence of so many children.

Where you in row Y on the left side? I saw quite a few people with strollers and pregnant! Rock on!

 

It was funny he wouldn't play Handshake Drug as being inapproproate then he plays Ruling Class

I was in N on the left. There was a couple with a small baby a few rows ahead of me but the baby didn't make a peep the whole time. He was much better behaved than some of the folks I see being described in this thread!

Nice! Was thinking to look for the bus but I was so tired and my baby was kicking!

Great that you got to meet him!

I'm not much at writing reviews but this was the 1st time I have seen a Jeff solo show and I had a great time.

His banter was mostly family friendly as this was a benefit show and there were a lot of children in the audience.

Really small venue and I thought the sound was great.

He made some jokes about being invited to play a show at a High School.

Some banter about his Dad, one where he said his Dad showed up to his wedding with a cooler of beer.

Some jokes about people whooping for acoustic music.

Mess up with the Harmonica at the beginning of Via Chicago.

I really enjoyed this a lot more than when I saw Wilco open up for Neil Young, I enjoyed the more intimate setting and his banter.

The encore with Pete was really fun too.

I'm sure someone else can be more detailed than me but I am wiped right now!

So, if anyone saw a pregnant gal in a gray top with her Mom, that was me!

I'd say Metro North.

Show is sold out now.

I called Clearwater....They said Pete Seegar will be playing along with someone with a children's choir and, of course, Jeff Tweedy....Can't wait...front row!!!

Excellent, I can't wait!

I haven't received my tickets yet either.

Where are you? I am from Hyde Park.

Other side of the Bear Mountain Bridge.

Wife and I are looking forward to the show as we have seen Wilco a bunch of times but never Jeff solo...

 

Anyone know what the lineup is like? I thought I read somewhere that there will be other bands playing...anyone know if that is true and who they might be? I would have to assume Pete Seeger will be there...Or, will it just be a solid Tweedy solo show....

Just says "special guests" so I assume there will be others?

This is a pretty out of the way area, probably another reason for lagging ticket sales. I am just happy that it is close to me!

Depending on where you are coming from in NYC, the Palisades Parkway may be easier to use than the Thruway since Beacon is off 9D.

Really is a nice little pretty area for a day trip, hopefully it will be a nice warm Spring day!

Depends on where you are coming from. I would say about 1.5 hours or so. It's a nice area and there are plenty of hotels/motels. Try in Fishkill.

BTW, there is a sort of seating chart on the Clearwater site but basically it only shows blocks of colors by price range, not individual seats.

Hi all-new to the board. I am so glad I came to visit today and saw this show posted! Just saw Wilco open for Neil back in December at MSG! Just got 2 75 dollar tix, there seemed to be plenty still left on the Clearwater site! Anyway, I live in this area so if anyone has a question feel free to ask me.
