Hi Meg - do you still want my tickets?

I paid $69.50 each. How about $120 for the pair?

I have tickets I can no longer use. Please let me know if you'd like them. 

I've now written review of the show on my blog Carnival Saloon and also posted a couple of MP3s from Jeff's previous London solo gig at the Shepherd's Bush Empire in 2005. Do leave a comment if you want to hear more from that set:

Carnival Saloon: Jeff Tweedy @ Union Chapel, London 30/06/10

You really didn't recognise Simple Twist of Fate and New Madrid? Get yourself a copy of Bob Dylan's Blood on the Tracks and Uncle Tupelo's final album Anodyne immediately. The Ruling Class is from the second Loose Fur LP, Born Again in the USA.

Terrific show.

Thanks for that - have to admit he played a few I didn't recognise (New Madrid, Ruling Class, the Dylan cover).

 

I fully agree with "After the last few Wilco shows in the past couple of years have left me feeling a bit uninspired, this fully recharged the batteries. Ta!". I've seen Wilco 6 or 7 times in the last two years, and it's getting a bit formulaic. It was so great to hear some older songs that I've never heard before. Loved the acoustic Spiders and Muzzle of Bees.

 

Only downside was the support: some "comedian" with basically no jokes other than taking the piss out of the front few rows.

 

Set order. I'm pretty sure this is right for the start:

 

Someone Else's Song

Remember The Mountain Bed

Be Not So Fearful [bill Fay] with Bill Fay brought up on stage for a duet

Spiders (Kidsmoke)

I'm Always In Love

Laminated Cat (requested by two people, I called it 'Not for the Season' because that's what it's called on the '...Break your Heart' DVD. He took the piss out of me)

Someday Some Morning Sometime (?? I think)

Via Chicago [request: he asked the woman if she was depressed)

Simple Twist of Fate [bob Dylan] (request "some asshole called David asked for "any Bob Dylan song"")

Bob Dylan's Beard
