That list is also really awesome. Thanks for posting it!
Thank you for the kind words! I hope that ZiggyBratwurst pops in to see the praise.That spreadsheet is awesome.
That’s correct!By going through the spreadsheet and u2roolz's notes, I've attempted to compile a list of new songs Jeff has performed:
“Save It For Me” (Episode 1 [recording], 13, 15)
“I’d Rather Be Alone” (Episode 2)
A Robin Or A Wren (Episode 3, Episode 39)
Grandma’s A Cyborg Now [Poem] (Episode 4)
“Baby You’re So Miserable” (Episode 5)
Guess Again (Episode 6, Episode 37)
“Natural Disaster” (Episode 10)
“Tell Your Friends” (Episode 29)
Half Life [Ode To Joy outtake] (Episode 30)
I left in Half Life, while it's not a new song for Jeff, it is new to us. If I missed anything or if any of the song titles in quotation marks have been confirmed as actual titles, let me know.
I’m positive that Jeff gave the name for Save It For Me because it was on the very first episode as a recording, so when he played it live he mentioned that and also gave us the title.
“I’d Rather Be Alone” was a title that I picked out after I listened to the song several times a couple of days ago. Jeff never gave the song title. In fact, I made a “private” YouTube video for myself for the tune. When I went to search for it to see if I did make it private, I was shocked to see a video already there with the same fan given song title. AND Monty also came up with the same exact song title too!
“Baby, You’re So Miserable” was a title that I picked out based off of which phrase I heard the most. The only thing that Jeff mentioned about the song was that it wasn’t about Susie because she’s not miserable.
“Natural Disaster” was a title that Jeff gave. He even mentioned that it had 3 more verses to it, but he didn’t play them.
“Tell Your Friends” was a title that I got from Nick Offerman’s comment which was his request that Jeff wound up playing before he ever heard of said request. That really surprised Susie that Jeff knew what Nick wanted to hear.
Jeff gave a “newer and more appropriate” title to Half Life which was Let’s Find What We’re All Missing. I guess I never went back to update my notes in here for that one and “I’d Rather Be Alone”.
Oh, and thank you for the kind comments over the past few weeks! Sometimes I just like to post my recap and listen to a Wilco show from Nugs.

I’d like to thank AdamCU81 for reaching out to me in a PM to let me know that Monty (VC screen name: ZiggyBratwurst) in a Wilco Reddit thread was trying to reach me. He was working on an Excel spreadsheet utilizing my recaps & Paul’s cover comments in real time and wanted to share it with all of us. So here’s an Excel spreadsheet that features the songs that have been performed on The Tweedy Show. It looks amazing! I’m having a bit of trouble uploading a sample pic, but I’ll fix that in a bit.

Thanks to AdamCU81 & Paul (bbop)!
A Very Special Thanks to Monty (ZiggyBratwurst) for putting this amazing spreadsheet together! -

As per the liner notes to the nugs release, this song was first attempted during the "A Ghost Is Born" sessions, and then re-tried during the "Sky Blue Sky" sessions. They never produced a satisfactory take.
Thank you for that information!
I just looked at my Nugs app again and I still have a blank screen for the liner notes.

I'm not 100% sure about those 2 songs where I put asterisks. As I was searching lyrics in Google, the feed kept pausing. I do want to go back and get those right. I have the lyrics queued up for those 2 songs, so I’ll match them.
Edit: Those were the correct tunes. And the feed was much better on the replay.

Strange! I had a recollection that that song was played about 6 times that summer. Well, 3 times does make me feel really lucky to hear it.Let's Fight by Wilco
Facts
Total Plays 3 times by 1 Artist
First Played in Concert July 13, 2006 by Wilco at The Playhouse, Fredericton, NB, Canada
Most Recently Played August 6, 2006 by Wilco at Lollapalooza 2006
That’s such a cool story! Hmm. From that story it sounds like it was a song that was never recorded and just tried out live the 3 times. I also think Let’s Fight is the last unreleased song to be played by Wilco in concert. Sky Blue Sky definitely had quite a few “b-sides”, so that made it even stranger that it never showed up way back then.I was at a living room show back in 2009 where different groups would perform with him. One group did Let's Fight but he had no recollection of it and he stood there and watched the group perform it.
-
I heard the song at the Pines Theater in Florence, MA which just happened to be 3 nights after this show in Fredericton. I really enjoyed the song when I heard it. I loved the music and the lengthy guitar solo which actually sounds like Jeff & not Nels. I could be wrong on that though.Guess I heard the song when they played it at Lollapalooza in 2006 - can't say I remember the tune, though.
Oh, and I remember watching that year’s Lollapalooza on my computer. Jeff was wearing a green suit. I don’t think any videos exist of that live stream. There are a few amateur videos though.
-
Nugs just released the July 13, 2006 Fredericton, New Brunswick show on their streaming service. This show is really cool because it has Let’s Fight.
One of my Tweedy Show comments was asking Jeff what happened to this song, but Susie most likely didn’t see it. I am curious though if it was ever recorded.

Signed up for this a week ago and I’m loving this. I don’t know if it’s because of the current pandemic, but Nugs is offering a free month trial. The 99, 01 & 03 shows are worth it alone.
Just resurrecting this thread to say that the 2004 NYC NYE show is missing the cover of Devo’s Gut Feeling/Slap Your Mammy. I mention it because the “liner notes” have been pretty good about talking about omitting a song due to an audio issue.
-
I think the “in the round” show that Jeff was talking about took place at the Cape Cod Melody Tent. [https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/wilco/2000/cape-cod-melody-tent-hyannis-ma-4bef0f12.html] It’s an infamous venue for its’ unique design with the stage being “in the round”. There are two other unique venues like that in MA: the North Shore Music Theater & the South Shore Music Circus.
I only knew of that Natalie Merchant tour when I was looking up on Setlist.FM how many times Wilco has played New Hampshire. They played up in Gilford, NH at a place called Meadowbrook Farm near Lake Winnipesaukee in 2000. It’s like a miniature Great Woods/Xfinity Center: outdoor shed that seats about 9,000. It’s now known as the Bank Of New Hampshire Pavilion and I had a funny feeling that Wilco would be playing there this summer, but that isn’t the case.
