Yes - my New Haven tickets arrived at least a week ago.

I thought a thread was deserved to capture all the good the guys do for people and communities in general. Today's example: John is creating a playlist to support The Finley Samuel Special Needs Trust Fund. More here: https://www.youcaring.com/finley-samuel-490892

It has been 4 days since a Just a Fan post by anybody. Ouch. I did some digging to provide this update. Nels has European tour dates with Julian Lage lined up in February and March: Feb 16 Cankarjev Dom Ljubljana 17 Pardon To Tu Warsaw 19 Alter Schlachthof Wels 20 Jazz Club Ferrara 21 Pflegidach - Pflegi Muri 23 Moments Bremen 24 Blue Note Milano 26 Grand Theatre Groningen 29 Carambolage Bolzano March 02 Bozar Brussels 03 Bimhuis Amsterdam

According to setlist.fm, Jeff guested on Get Me, Tarpit and Cortez the Killer. I would be surprised if he didn't also guest on TV Eye and Heart of Gold, but not surprised if setlist.fm got that part wrong. http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/dinosaur-jr/2015/bowery-ballroom-new-york-ny-33f2fc2d.html

I had seen some less than stellar performance video of a recent show. Really sad that we all are not surprised. Nobody was able to get through to him.

Wilcoworld now lists shows that I don't think we've mentioned on the board: Northside Festival in Aarhus, Denmark June 17,18 or 19 29 Oct New Fall Fest in Dusseldorf, Germany 30 Oct New Fall Fest in Stuttgart, Germany 10 Nov Le Guess Who Fest in Utrecht, Holland It will be interesting to see what else pops up in June/July in Europe to fill in the holes.

It was definitely that one. You are right. I just checked the lyrics. Now that first song, I wonder what that was...

Via Chicago Then another song I'm not sure of...feel like I've heard it before though. "Let's find [fight] each other tonight" Then the living room auction...2 shows went for $30K each. Online one is a steal still going for 25K https://www.charitybuzz.com/catalog_items/private-concert-in-your-living-room-with-jeff-tweedy-of-926400

Anybody watching the stream? Opened with a song I didn't recognize. "happiness depends on who you blame" Now doing Screen door http://letterstosantachicago.com/

You are right, I've been to about 20 legit solo shows over 13 years. My favorite shows occur most frequently when a performer connects with the audience. That happens more often than not when the songs resonate and are familiar with the crowd, when there is an arch to the set and when there is plenty of uptempo material. The really deep cuts tend to be slow and unknown to all but diehards. Jeff's audiences can be up for the adventure of a few slower less familiar numbers, but that willingness fades with each song along those lines. The willingness wasn't there Friday - $140 tickets change the

I understand your point and agree with you and was quiet myself during the set, but I guess I see why 2 reasons other people quickly become bored with it: No opening act advertised to me indicates that the audience should show up around 8 if they don't want to miss Tweedy and the performance was all the way to stage left so those on stage right had a really bad angle to spectate and frankly the songs were boring. .

I wasn't clear, I'm talking about the behavior during the openers set. I agree with everything you say regarding behavior during a headlining set.

I thought it was a good show and the crowd seemed like a typical Jeff Tweedy solo show crowd to me. Jeff's guitar playing was impressive to my eyes. Clearly struggled with lyrics as already mentioned which is a bit of a bummer. The song selection was a good mix of hits + deep cuts like Ruling Class and Pecan Pie. I was hoping he'd bust out This Ain't No Lounge Axe or some Star Wars but I enjoyed the setlist much more than I do the annual Vic shows. I like seeing how Jeff organizes and manages that setlist. While I was not one of the numerous talkers during the openers set, I can't really bla

Tonight is the first Jeff Tweedy solo show since the release of Star Wars. I don't think we ever found out what he did at the charity thing a few weeks ago. Jeff also has a performance on Monday night. What songs from Star Wars will he play? I'll guess Taste the Ceiling and Magnetized. King of You would be cool solo too.

Wilco: 5 November has been announced in Weissenhauser Strand, Germany. It is the Rolling Stone Weekender.

I'm not an expert, but if Blurred Lines was a rip off this seems like the same deal.

Stained Radiance w/ Nels tonight

Tweedy now has dates in Tokyo and Osaka too. March 30 & 31.

What do we think...passive aggressive "high road" response to Jay's recent comments?
