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

you're missing out!

Congrats - great seats! Hope to get lucky tmrw and get seated nearby

Did you get floor seats, if you don't mind my asking? I saw one pair pop up in row B and it was gone by the time I clicked it. Everything else was in the balcony.

agreed - and it's at the shittiest venue in the city. i too wasn't crazy about the single, but am in love with the album. halls of sarah and sleep all summer are my favorites for now.

I listened to the version on YouTube and tried my best at transcribing: I was naïve My shoes were untied In heaven everything is just fine but the phones are dead and so is the light and so are you and honey so am I but the earth still turns for the unconcerned Days pass below like train windows I was a sapling tree The birds look like me And so I beg my nerves to kick me something new And time to time when I watch you sleep Well I wonder how much freedom we can dream And I'm sorry when you wake up to me I just got tired Shining steady like a spider webs and empty stage Now people say “Wha

That's an interesting take. As the guy who Jeff questioned, I wasn't at all offended and didn't interpret the interaction the way that you did. The context was that some reviewer said that "Let's Go Rain" is a "throwaway" song. Jeff said something about how it's unfair that he's judged so critically at his job, and then he proceeded to ask me, a random guy, what I do for a living. I responded with some hesitation that I work in university administration. Jeff said that my work isn't judged the same that his is (that's true, of course), and that there's no Bob Dylan of University Administration

Fixed! Thank you both. And I agree that “New Wave Theatre” was a highlight. Pretty intense lyrics. It’ll be interesting to see what happens with the new ones— it’s tough for me to imagine them as Wilco songs. Anyway, had a nice time yesterday and even had Jeff ask me about my profession from the stage (I was so surprised he was talking to me that I asked “who, me?” three times before answering).
