I had a really nice time last night at the book talk. Those three songs were a real tease, though. Would've loved to have heard a couple more ;-) My favorite topic was one that I've heard Jeff cover elsewhere, but was especially well said last night. This is a crude retelling, but he mentioned something about a dichotomy between creativity and destruction, and how he wishes everyone had a creative outlet because it's much more difficult, if you're creating, to also be "destructing." I'm not doing the sentiment any justice with my retelling, but that really stuck with me. It was a real treat

I’m attending Boston show in a few days. Has anyone seen any mention of who is moderating that one?

Wilco will be playing at Azkena Rock Festival - June 22 & 23, 2019 in Vitoria-Gasteiz https://www.azkenarockfestival.com/en/

True, but it also means that I can't buy a ticket on the secondary market if I strike out. Not that I want to give scalpers my money.

Already nervous about pulling Largo tix. At 2pp and will call only, it's going to be tough!

Tix went up a few min early.

Anyone buying VIP? I'm really torn... It's the surprise pop up that is most incentivizing.

Jason is one of my all-time favorites. Agreed with TCP above that S:O's Magnolia Electric Co. and Didn't It Rain are the two I play most often, but I also really love Pyramid Electric Co. too. The Lioness is another gem (Lioness & Coxcomb Red are among my favorite songs). One of my biggest regrets was not seeing him live. I had tix to see a show in Cambridge, MA and couldn't find anyone to go with me and so I just skipped it. Never had another chance.

Jeff Ullrich bought that one I think. Marc was in attendance, as was Scott Aukerman (https://www.instagram.com/p/BCmcyEuGZ5q/) and a few others.

I've been tweeting at Marc for years asking him to interview Jeff and/or Ryan Adams. Maron can grate on me on occasion, but when he's invested in someone, he's an excellent interviewer. He's at his best when he deviates from standard interview questions, which I think is pretty often. Keeping my fingers crossed that this happens!

Looks like Jeff will be performing on Live from Here with Chris Thile on 10/27/2018 at the Lied Center in Lincoln, Nebraska.

Lots of cliffhangers this tour, Paul!

Would be fun for someone like John Hodgman to moderate (possible in Boston or NYC).

Section B Row 11. $173 for the pair after fees.

I don't believe that that's true. I bought a pair of balcony tix before lucking into a pair of VIP tix, and the balcony make no mention of a meet & greet. The VIP tickets, on the other hand, do.

EDIT: These are now sold. Jeff Tweedy Book Tour : LET'S GO (SO WE CAN GET BACK) Sec.: BALC, Row F, Seat 1-3 Wednesday, November 14, 2018 7:30 PM EST Boston, MA -- The Wilbur Face value: $113.00 (for both tickets)

Anyone know if Boston includes meet & greet? Seems like it doesn’t, but it’s not really clear about what the difference between VIP and regular tickets is.

Jeff did a little live session for a local MT radio station, Trail 1033, from The Wilma. He plays Some Birds (3:18), Having Been is No Way To Be (7:14), and You & I (12:14). https://www.facebook.com/TheTrail1033/videos/159860351608786/UzpfSTgyOTA0MTA0MjA6MTAxNTY3MzMzMzY0NzU0MjE/

They are two very different songs.

Loved the George Saunders piece. Psyched for this release! Curious that it's billed as Jeff Tweedy and not Tweedy (one assumes that's Spencer on drums)... Will be curious to see if the Tweedy band are in tow when Jeff (hopefully) tours this album. I wonder if all of the new songs we've heard so far are on the album. I've bolded tracks I believe that he's played live. 1. Bombs Above 2. Some Birds 3. Don't Forget 4. How Hard It Is For A Desert To Die 5. Let's Go Rain 6. Far From Away 7. I Know What It's Like 8. Having Been is No Way To Be 9. The Red Brick 10. Warm (When The Sun Has Died) 11.

Well, I’m creating this thread only for the sake of continuity. I didn’t see our resident setlist reporter in the audience last night and so I’m going to take a stab at this. Unfortunately, I didn’t have a writing utensil last night and so this is all from memory. The order of the songs is certainly incorrect, but I believe that I included most, if not all, of what was played. I will update this post if someone has the correct set list or once HQ posts it. Some show notes to follow later... New Song - Bombs above IATTBYH New Madrid New Song - New Wave Theater Passenger Side Hummingbird New

So many new songs! Exciting stuff...

MountainGerbil, that's some excellent advice. My father was really into Hi-Fi when I was growing up and so he put together a little stereo for me that I still use ~20 yrs later, with minor changes. I have just two comments: 1. While my stereo isn't airplay/bluetooth compatible, if you do decide to go vintage, you can always connect a device to your integrated amp via a 3.5mm cable. I have a very old NAD integrated amp, and so one of my inputs is the 3.5mm cord which I plug into my iPhone or old iPod. 2. This I'm a little less sure of, but I believe some turntables have a phono stage buil
