You forgot to add:
-Susie gives these recaps (and it's author) a shoutout!!!

😃

Yeah, that was definitely meta to consider putting it in the recap. It was certainly a surprise and greatly appreciated. Thank you, Susie!
 

What’s weird is that I checked their IG page before tonight’s episode to see how last night’s episode was numbered taking into consideration that last week’s health update episode was some sort of anomaly, so I snagged Paul’s comment idea to name it 124.5. So when I saw that last night’s show was numbered 125, I thought “somehow we’re on the same page.”

34 minutes ago, TCP said:

There was an impromptu Tweedy Show tonight. I missed the first 15 minutes or so, I'm assuming since Spencer was at his drums they played something. Sounds like everyone is doing well though, they're still waiting on their test results though. Then Jeff and Spencer did an instrumental Reincarnation followed by an instrumental Waltz #2 by Elliott Smith, which was awesome.

Sorry, I'm no u2roolz but this was my best attempt at a recap.

Ha! Thanks for the nod. 
 

I was answering a birthday text from a friend that’s a waiter and his parents both came down with Covid during Thanksgiving week. Out of nowhere I surprisingly got the notification about the show, but didn’t have my second iPhone next to me to take notes. I stepped out of the show a few times to answer the texts and when I went back in it would pick up where I left off, but then jump to real time. I never heard the Elliot Smith mention. 
 

It sounds like they did 2 instrumentals and gave an update on how everyone is doing which I’m glad to hear sounds good so far. I want to go back and watch it uninterrupted.

Anybody care to share how they think the sound quality is on the nugs app?

 

Just got an email that they are running a great deal and thinking of trying it. 

I love it! No complaints here. It sounds excellent with ear buds and through cat speakers.The upside is having access to all of the shows plus the Front Of House series at your fingertips. If there’s anything that I really want to purchase & download, then I can still do that. 

I’d have to check the Solid Sound shows to compare because I bought & burnt those.

What’s the deal? I tried it out for a free 30 day trial back in April with no bullshit or drama meaning there wasn’t a situation where any Wilco show was off limits or you couldn’t skip ahead etc like on say Spotify.

I have a bit of bad luck history with the show that they dropped today: Jeff solo in Los Angeles February 2006. I made plans to have a family trip to hit up LA during the first week of February. It was from Super Bowl Sunday to Sunday February 12. Probably a month or so after my trip was booked, 2 Jeff Tweedy solo shows were announced in LA. I was upset that I couldn’t make night 1 because that was the night that I was going to be flying back home. The day of the first show the northeast got a 1-2 foot blizzard stopping all flights for the day, so now I’m stuck in LA an extra night last minute and Jeff Tweedy is playing 20 minutes away from my hotel! The second night is available today and I hate to say that I was on an airplane when it was happening. Lol

"C.H.I.N. U.P. Initiative which is an idea that he woke up with. Common Human Initiative Unified People"

 

Isn't that missing an N word, if you pardon the expression. My copy writer suggests:-

 

Common Human Initiative Needing Unified Population 

 

Also, Chain Gang was one of only a handful of records in my house as a young kid, so that's nice. 

I believe the N is coming from “Initiative”. I went back to watch that part again and that’s how he said it, so it probably looks like this: 

Common Human Initiative Unified People.
