Not sure whether this little recap is kosher, since this benefit show was technically sort of semi-secret, but since there was a professional-looking photographer walking around and people were taking photos and videos with their phones that will probably wind up on social media, I guess I'm going to assume the hosts won't mind a little bit of commentary after the fact...
Basically through a series of happy coincidences and helpful people, I got lucky to be able to attend this lovely Sunday afternoon concert by Jeff and Spencer that raised money for a local radio station in southwestern Michigan. The show actually was supposed to take place the previous evening, but had to be postponed by a day because of the torrential rain that deluged this part of the country. Just how that change might have affected things, I suppose we'll never know. But in general, the setting — the "stage" Jeff and Spencer played on was literally the front porch of someone's home and people sat in their own chairs or blankets that were loosely arranged according to where there was shade (i.e. not right up against the “stage”) — seemed perfect for a languid summer afternoon.
Not that Jeff and Spencer, who haven't played all that many live shows strictly as a duo, lacked energy. Though their set was — ahem — fairly low key, they nonetheless turned in a nice 80-minute set of material from across Jeff's career and even performed a couple of new songs (only played once or twice previously on the Tweedy Show). Those were obviously a highlight, as far as I'm concerned, as was getting to hear Spencer's backing vocals on a number of tunes.
Hints, which was the working title given when the song was performed on the Tweedy Show episode in early March featuring John Stirratt and Glenn Kotche, seems like a good candidate to be on the next Wilco record. It's the one that has the chorus that goes, "There is no middle when the other side/Would rather die than compromise/Adjust your eyes to the light/Let them roll with pride..." Although it seems almost folkish on the surface, I could see it almost taking on a War On War-type urgency in the live setting when the rest of the band's contributions are factored in.
Though I wound up sitting a little bit further back than I would have preferred, opting to stay within the shade of a tree and not fry in the sun (stupidly, I forgot to bring a hat...rookie move), Jeff looked to be in relatively good shape and ready to get back on the road. At least from my vantage point. And his banter was certainly getting back to being show worthy, if not there already.
Early on, Jeff announced his intention to play mostly songs from the last few records he has put out under his own name (as well as "Tweedy," which he acknowledged was kind of an awkward band name but left open the possibility of another record under than moniker someday.) He said he doesn't get to play them live as often as he would like, so that's what he planned to do. "You're sick of Wilco," he said to the crowd of about 60. "Plus, it's a benefit so it doesn't have to be good. You'd be kind of a jerk if you complain. I kind of like playing benefits for that reason." Later, he looked down at the group of potted plants at his feet and labelled them "my fanclub." Quipped Jeff: "It's the best audience I've ever played to, hands down."
After playing the relatively sedate Having Been Is No Way To Be, Jeff joked about the juxtaposition of that song with the Frisbee being thrown around on the lawn before the show. "I saw a frisbee out here earlier and that's exactly the kind of song I think of when I think of frisbee," Jeff said. "Frisbee Proximity, that's my new album."
Jeff also clearly was relishing getting to perform with Spencer, telling the audience how he never had to persuade his son to play along with him, that it was just something that Spencer did naturally from the time he was little. And then one day, in Jeff's words, he looked over and they were on stage together. He mentioned that his younger son Sammy had started singing with the Tweedy band as well, leading Jeff to joke to the audience members that if they didn't have kids yet, that was as good a reason as any to do so, to essentially "grow your own band." (Though, to be honest, I think Jeff's better half might argue that she was the one who litchurally grew them inside her body. But I digress.) At any rate, Jeff then looked over at Spencer and deadpanned, "Not you. Not yet."
It wasn't a perfect show, in the end, as Jeff flubbed the opening lyric to You Are Not Alone, which might have been an unplanned number, and then decided to end the show there on a slightly awkward note, as he acknowledged. But for all the enjoyment he and Spencer had already given this small gathering on a pleasant summer afternoon out in the country, you would indeed have been a jerk to complain.
Here was the complete setlist, as played (all songs with Jeff on acoustic guitar and vocals and Spencer on drums and backing vocals):

Assuming travel and everything works out, the wife and I will be back in for Portland.
It really sucks that Vancouver and Calgary are both shows that got cancelled. Hopefully the band is planning a long overdue Canadian tour for 2022.
If I'm not mistaken, you Canadians aren't even letting us regular folk from south of the border in yet (unless you're related to a Canadian or have some vital purpose, I guess)...

I am extremely out of practice at show recaps and, who knows if anyone even checks good ol' VC anymore, but this was certainly a very pleasant way to spend a late spring/early summer evening. Beautiful weather, especially once the sun retired for the evening; a crowd with a lot of familiar faces; and a slightly reconfigured band whose members were clearly enjoying making music with one other and for a real live audience — all combined for a show that felt almost normal again. Whatever that is.
Of course there still being a global pandemic, it wasn't totally normal. After all, we were in a parking lot of a soccer stadium in some distant corner of Chicagoland, relatively socially distanced, sometimes wearing masks and basically huddled around our cars. As Jeff himself suggested at one point, hopefully this will be the last drive-in concert that anyone ever attends. But as the Tweedy band — James Elkington (electric guitar), Liam Kazar (bass), Spencer Tweedy, (drums), Sima Cunningham and Macie Stewart (the latter bringing the added dimension of her violin as she joined her Ohmme bandmate filling in for Sammy Tweedy on backing vocals) — played on and gradually more and more people began to gather close together toward the barricade in front of the stage, the show started to feel a little bit, maybe, like how things used to be.
When you compare this show with the other drive-in concert put on by Jeff and Co. in September, it almost felt like the two could serve as bookends to the entire COVID experience (at least in the United States). While the show last year was still a delight, especially given the dearth of live music in 2020, the mood was decidedly somber with a chill in the air foreboding the coming of winter and strict enforcement of mask wearing and social distancing indicating the still-uncertain future of the pandemic and the breaking news just before showtime of the passing of Supreme Court justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg casting a pall over the proceedings. By contrast, this show outside SeatGeek — which hosted the Chicago-area stop of the AmericanaRama tour nearly exactly eight years prior, albeit inside the actual stadium, then known as Toyota Park — felt rather hopeful overall with the sunny, warm, breezy weather making it feel like summer and the vibe more like a tailgate party than anything else.
One of the few things that the two shows shared was the inevitable and requisite — they were both drive-in shows, after all — honking of car horns by the audience. To be honest, although a passing train honked several times during the first song, it wasn't until maybe a third of the way through the main set when Jeff commented about the horn honking that the car horns began to blare in earnest. And for me, one of the highlights of the show came in the first song of the encore, when Jeff was joined by only Elkington for a beautiful duet performance of Even I Can See.
That, of course, was a song Jeff wrote for his wife Susie, who had to miss the SeatGeek show because she was escorting Sammy to his summer job as a musical director at a camp. Regular Tweedy Show watchers, of course, already knew that Sammy would not be at this drive-in show and that the band wouldn't play Save It For Me (which had closed the first drive-in show) without him. So the absence of half the Tweedy clan marked another difference between the two drive-in shows, though Jeff did acknowledge the Tweedy Show on more than one occasion and thanked those who have watched for spending time with their family for more than 180 hours and counting now.
With Sammy missing, the aforementioned addition of Stewart to this Tweedy band lineup added a different and welcome dimension with her violin really adding a nice twangy element to the mix. Stewart and Cunningham, of course, already have a sister-like vocal chemistry with their partnership in Ohmme, which was on display with their backing vocals on such songs as High As Hello, Low Key and the show-closing California Stars (on which Kazar also joined in vocally).
Will write a bit more perhaps when I've gotten at least a small amount of shuteye, but for now here was the complete setlist as played (full band on all songs, unless noted, with Stewart and Cunningham adding violin and tambourine, respectively, in addition to backing vocals):
Love Is The King

-- Jeff plays a lengthy melody on his guitar that is unknown as of press time. 🤷🏻♂️
I’m pretty sure Jeff said this was “Charlie,” a theme composed by Georges Delerue from the Truffaut film Shoot The Piano Player. Well, he didn’t say all that; he said it was “Shoot The Piano Player: Charlie.” But anyway...
And thanks for not mentioning that I got sent to my room for saying “C” word. (Not that one.)

Looks like this is the same recording that has been available for quite some time now, both on CD and streaming services:
https://www.deezer.com/en/album/11684506Edit: I see that the new vinyl has a couple of extra tracks (Grindstone / Anodyne / High Water / Whiskey Bottle). Interesting..
Fwiw, it looks like there are multiple versions of this show floating around. At least one, maybe two, different audience recordings and then the capture of what was broadcast on WXRT radio back in the day (which wasn't the complete show). The latter seems to be the one that has been widely bootlegged, like just about every radio session by a noteworthy band. Anyway, I'm hoping that since this is the "official" release of this show (with Jeff and Jay's authorization, presumably) that they were able to obtain the complete WXRT recording — I'm assuming off the soundboard — and get it mastered for vinyl.
Incidentally, I had been wondering if this was the final Uncle Tupelo show at Lounge Ax and indeed it was. The band would play its final shows at Mississippi Nights in St. Louis just over a month later. Anyway, this show that's coming out looks like it was the third night of a three-night stand, with support from The Handsome Family. Some more info on the run, including a scan of the setlist from this final Lounge Ax show, here (note: this site also notes the multiple recordings of this show).

I actually haven’t cracked my copy of the vinyl yet, though the warpage is a little disconcerting. But yeah, there was a two-page spread in the magazine with blurbs from Jeff and/or the contributors, so they probably just reproduced that...

Anyways, I now see a show that pops up under the apps new show listings. It’s a show from July 21, 2009 in Royal Oak, MI.
That Royal Oak show they just released today was, in my opinion, the best show of that year. It was a one-off and the band was on fire that night. Fwiw. -

So after I'd insisted that "I Wish I was Ian Dury" had been played live, and Jeff was unsure, of course I had to tear my cd racks apart to locate a recording. At first I got nowhere because I was scanning for Ian's name in the tracklistings. But then I remembered the title that had been floating around back when we didn't know the real one...as Paul said, "Turn Around and Come Back to Me". Once I remembered that, I found a show easily. The Blue Note, Columbia MO, on 10-6-95. I think it was played several times that summer & fall.
Another fun factoid for the clients! How's this for full circle? Wilco's very first show as Wilco was on 11-17-94, at Cicero's in St. Louis, MO. Tucked in among their set was a little crowd-pleaser called "Reincarnation"!
Somewhere, Roger Miller is grinning.
Yeah, I had forgotten in the moment that he played "Ian Dury" a handful of times way back in '95. Oops...and thanks for the correction, Donna. Anyway, it appears maybe only four times, though? I found this interesting little post that the Glorious Noise site did about it just over a decade ago now. I remember somebody tried to request it at one of the Vic shows once a while back — or maybe just inquired about it — and Jeff didn't seem too interested in playing it then. Guess pandemic times are good for something!
And unfortunately, no further word on that mystery song near the end of the show last night yet. It sounded too composed to my ears as well to be just an improv, off-the-cuff tune, but I've obviously been wrong many times before.

Picked up the vinyl today via RSD. Casino Queen is really killer. I would love to see classic rock artists put together a volume II.
Did I miss you at Laurie's? Anyway, I love this project! Classic rock artists would be interesting, but I most enjoyed some of the tracks by younger artists that either attempted a deeper cut, tried to do something different with an arrangement or at least put their own stamp on whatever song they chose. That Parquet Courts mashup, for example...I'm not sure if I like it or if it went overboard, but I admire them for trying something different. I think Jeff has half-jokingly said he liked this project because it showed that at least some younger musicians/bands still like him/Wilco, and I'm not sure he would get — or even need/want — that from the "classic rock" contingent? But who knows?
Speaking of Wilcovered, I happened to catch this cool cover of Love Is Everywhere (Beware) the other day on a KCRW session by a Dutch artist that I hadn't heard of before, Nana Adjoa. Check it out at the end of her short set, if you're so inclined...

And it’s good to be back on here, even if VC looks different on my phone now! Did this new layout just start today?

Well, it's been a minute since I've been on here — and certainly since I've written one of these — so please forgive the rustiness in advance. Anyway, I'm sure that most everybody who would probably even care about these thoughts either watched the show for themselves via live stream or was there in person so obviously it will be interesting to hear some different perspectives.
After months and months of spending virtual evenings with the Tweedy family via The Tweedy Show on Instagram and getting to hear just about all of the songs that would eventually comprise Jeff's forthcoming “solo” record Love Is The King, it was a pleasure to finally be able to see some of those new songs performed live on stage for the first time, and with the backing of a full band to boot. (And not to fear, nearly all of the significant characters — including Basil — from The Tweedy Show were in attendance, either on stage or in the front row!)
Even if the setting wasn't the warm, cozy environs of the Tweedys' living room but instead a chilly evening at a drive-in movie theater out in the distant reaches of Chicagoland with all of the requisite elements of pandemic life — mandatory face coverings, social distancing and other limitations in the name of safety — I think it's safe to say that just about everyone who made it out to the McHenry Outdoor Theatre was glad to, as Jeff said, leave their troubles behind for a couple of hours and bask in the power of live music again. I know I was. Not even the very sad news about the passing of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, which broke just before show time, could entirely dim the show's glow.
Since it was the start of Rosh Hashanah, it wasn't surprising to see the evening begin with Mi Sheibarach, a Jewish prayer for healing adapted into song by Debbie Friedman that has become a fixture on The Tweedy Show with Sammy Tweedy singing the lead vocal and accompanied by Jeff and Spencer Tweedy on guitar and backing vocals, respectively. Especially in light of Ginsburg's death, I thought it was an especially poignant way to start.
From there, the full Tweedy band emerged with Spencer on drums, James Elkington on electric guitar and pedal steel, Liam Kazar on bass and backing vocals and Liam's older sister, Sima Cunningham of Ohmme, on backing vocals along with Sammy. The sextet ran through a few tunes from Jeff's earlier solo albums Warm and Sukierae before getting to the first LITK song, the lilting love song Guess Again. By the end of the night, the group would perform over half the record; to me, the twangy Opaline and the show-closing Save It For Me were particular standouts, with Jeff commenting about the latter that it was the "most meaningful" to him right now because it was the first song that he wrote with Spencer and Sammy during the quarantine and making the album had helped them all get through those tough times.
Another highlight, for me at least, was the band's performance of Pops Staples' Friendship during the cover-laden final third of the show. Of course, the message of the song is touching in and of itself but also the arrangement of the song with Sammy taking the first verse, Spencer the second and Sima the third kind of reminded me a bit of The Weight in that it allowed them to each get their own moment in the vocal spotlight.
So what was it like to actually attend the show? I think that might depend pretty significantly on your vantage point within the parking lot. There were four tiers of tickets sold, from VIP tickets in the first two rows to "back lot" tickets at, well, the very back. This was my first time at a drive-in concert so I don't really have a point of comparison and I wasn't able to check out the view from way back, but I can't imagine it was very good even with two giant video screens flanking the stage. Someone else will have to chime in with their take.
I will say that even in the very front there was a sizable gap between the stage and the first row of the audience — probably at least 30 feet. So you can definitely insert a Too Far Apart joke here because, even at the front, it felt like there was a lack of real connection between band and crowd due to the sheer distance between them. (I think Jeff even made a brief comment/joke about feeling less of a connection than usual and how "the cars aren't giving me a lot" and then calling himself "pathetic" for asking for some validation from the assembled autos). And being outside, socially distanced, in such a relatively big open-air space really prevented any real crowd roar that made you feel like you were part of a larger whole the way you might inside a club or theater. I definitely missed that element of the live music experience. After the band would finish a song, you would hear what Jeff might call "a smattering" of applause or whatever, but it wasn't quite the same for me.
On the positive side, I thought the sound quality was pretty excellent throughout. From where I was, the venue's PA system was nice and powerful — again, I can't say for sure that was true further back in the lot — and actually the distance we all had to stand back from the stage almost certainly helped us hear everything better. Elkington's guitar (and pedal steel), I felt, really stood out in the mix and definitely enhanced many of the songs.
You knew at the very least that the sheer novelty of the drive-in show concept would result in some funny stage banter, and Jeff didn't disappoint in that regard. I didn't jot down any particular zinger in its entirety — I said I was rusty! — but he did joke early on about how we were going to "have a honkalong" at some point and "separate the Subarus out." "I don't know why," Jeff said of the Subarus. "Just because I'm assuming there are too many out there." Later he remarked about how he had had a daydream about orchestrating a honking part of a song before deciding that would be a stupid idea. Instead, he discouraged people from using their horns during the show to display enthusiasm — until the end when they should "just go fucking nuts."
If this was the last time we'll get to see and hear Jeff perform live in 2020, then to use one of his favorite expressions, it certainly could have been worse. After so many months without live music, the fact that we even got this nearly two-hour show deserves a measure of gratitude. Was it everything I could have asked for in a concert? Probably not. Was it more than acceptable, especially when graded on the pandemic curve? For sure. Was it exactly what I needed right now, heading into an uncertain future? Most definitely.

Yeah seems like Calgary is postponed too.
Yeah, guess they finally had to scrap the rest of the run. Thankfully I made it back to Chicago and can now just look forward to a couple weeks of record sorting or something, since everything else here seems to be cancelled too.
-
Just got a message from the Missoula promoter (Logjam Presents) that the Wilma show is now postponed. WTF? Doesn’t seem like the band has acknowledged this yet, at least on their social media. Hmm...
-
The official word just came down, at least via Twitter (and linked to the same message on Wilcoworld, except the one about the Calgary, Missoula and SLC shows still currently scheduled to go on):
Wilco's upcoming tour dates in Seattle, Vancouver, Portland, Las Vegas and California are postponed.
Every effort is being made to reschedule dates later in the year and we'll be in touch with more information shortly. Stay tuned to wilcoworld.net for updates. Take care of each other and stay safe.
Calgary, Missoula and SLC shows are currently scheduled to go on.

All March shows after Salt Lake City have been removed from Wilco World: https://wilcoworld.net/shows/
Through the end of March, anyway. Seems like they’re gonna try to get the next three in, then reschedule the rest and/or see if LA/Vegas can be salvaged. That’s probably about all they can do. Hopefully some sort of official word is forthcoming ASAP.
-
It is kind of curious to me that I’ve received e-mails from seemingly every entity under the sun, but yet haven’t heard a peep from either the band or the venues/promoters about shows that seem almost certain to be postponed at the very least...

Well, a Wilco Wednesday in Winnipeg certainly proved to be a worthwhile way to spend an evening — especially when the Canadian audience finally woke up (and wisened up, IMHO) near the end of the main set by getting on its feet, which occurred when a woman's whine to Jeff actually worked.
More on that to come, though I don't want to steal too much thunder from our resident VC Winnipegian(?), who should certainly feel free to chime in with his insights.

Just for you, mate.
