    Wilco heard while you're out and about

    in Just A Fan

    Was anyone watching SportsCenter just now? Weird to hear Jeff's name mentioned. One of the anchors seems to be a pretty big music fan and has a standard line of "What [blank individual] is to [blank band], [blank athlete] is to [blank team]." Anyway, toward the very end of the show, he used Jeff Tweedy and Wilco for some hockey highlight, I think. Haha. Maybe it's happened before...

    It's John Buccigross & he's definitely a fan. His other go-to is the "rocking the suburbs" line.

    Jeff Tweedy — 12/6/13, Salt Lake City, UT (Kingsbury Hall)

    in After The Show

    Posted

    My first solo show since a fall 2005 run and was quickly reminded how special it can be.

     

    Highlights:

     

    - 5 AGIB tunes!!!! (Shocked after seeing none on the first two set lists)

     

    - ALTWYS > IAIL ....not sure if the segue was intentional but there was so little clapping as ALTWYS abruptly ended after the 2nd verse, whatever, itwas sweeeet :)

     

    - Mountainbed (of course). I'm always reminded of probably my favorite Wilco show ever (6.8.04, Irving Plaza), when some dude shouted out "Mountainbed" & Jeff replies that there's no way he's playing that as he just got out of the hospital & there's way too many words

     

    - Bull Black Nova for however he was able to make those sounds come out of that guitar

     

    - Shakin Sugar/Alone!!!!!! I've felt for years & years like a question no one ever asked

     

    - Ruling Class plus the banter on how it's been vetted/accepted by the theological community, again bringing mr back to the solo shows from 2005 (Messiah College & the Loose Fur encore from the free TriBeCa NYC shows)

     

    - New Madrid....after a bit of banter about how he still doesn't have the rock star thing down, he throws in the "they all come from Salt Lake City" followed by a "maybe I am starting to figure it out" or something to that effect

     

    My first time in Utah (the 25 degrees sure beat the 17 below in Park City my previous two nights) & was amazed how quiet & respectful the crowd was (at least from the vantage point), minus a couple of random hecklers from time to time. I've never been to any show back east where you could hear a pin drop for most of the show.

     

    I do selfishly wish that the crowd stayed standing for the encore & that Late Greats etc... were more singalongs as I did travel 2000+ whatever miles for the show but no real worries as I believe we got such an inspired effort out of Jeff in part because the crowd was so great for much of the show. (And cuz my pops paid for my flight out here ;)....he was a fan before as well but as a fairly decent ol guitar player came out of tonight blown away by Jeff's prowess.

     

    Damn, I got to get some sleep, I'll let someone else fill in the banter highlights (abyss guy, cricket, those are the lyrics, etc...). Great, great night, sucks that 24 hrs from now ill be on the red-eye back to JFK :(

    I'm going down with my best in October, plain & simple. Verlander could have walked the bases loaded there & still would have been given the chance to get out of it.

     

    I'm not surprised he got yanked because he's been a 7 inning pitcher for his career but I'd take 75% Max over 100% of any Tigers reliever.

    When's Prince Fielder stepping down? Brutal performance. Can't believe Leyland didn't swap Victor & Prince in the lineup at some point.

     

    I'd also be sick if i was a Tigers fan that Scherzer couldn't give you more than 110 pitches in the biggest game of his life. You just knew their bullpen would blow it. No way Verlander's coming out of that game.

    Tigers pen is always shaky & Sox been clutch late all year. I despise the Sox but never ever count them out.

     

    I did find it comical that Gillette was half-empty when Sir Tom performed his late magic yesterday, though I suppose a good many didn't want to miss first pitch.

    Walt was ready to turn himself him after the chat with Walt Jun umm Flynn didn't go as he would have hoped but seeing Gretchen/Elliott talking about his blue meth still being out there set him back on his course of vengeance for the Nazis.

     

    Yet another brilliant, heartbreaking episode.
