brgriffi Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Is it just me or does Jeff really not like the crowd in Champaign? I saw Wilco play at Foellinger back in feb. '05, and both times he just seemed to be making fun of a lot of people in the audience. I've seen him elsewhere and it wasn't exactly the same dynamic. I think he just gets kind of annoyed at the "idiot college kids," but he takes it in stride and just gives it right back to them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think he just gets kind of annoyed at the "idiot college kids," but he takes it in stride and just gives it right back to them. Yeah, this is exactly how I felt. You could see he was slightly awkward... he would pause before saying some words and it seemed to me like he was avoiding swearing. I totally think it's the college kid attitude. Especially on Halloween weekend when everyone is already being a dumbass. The crowd gets less into the music because they're too caught up in the audience being loud. That's what I thought. It was still a great show regardless. I've heard other Tweedy recordings and he seems to be more conversing with the crowd instead of... I guess arguing would be the word. Either way, he still put on a good performance and show and I love him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Most concerts I've been to in Champaign...Crowds are lame. Pearl Jam was pretty good but Pumpkins, 5 or 6 Wilco shows, recently Blue Man group...The crowd is just...lame. Corgon said that once back in 95. He said he didn't come to school here cause U of I was lame. Of course everyone cheered. I actually think he enjoyed himself more this time around. He was quite comedic and interacted positivly for the most part. There will always be a few jerkos in the audience. There's always one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

chicagobones Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 loldoctor, good recap. glad you liked the show. hoping your friend also enjoyed it. mikesquires-are you the same from the whitesox interactive board? the dude who loves honcho overload? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brgriffi Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Well, as I'm watching the DVD, I think Jeff has seen much worse crowds. He really laid into the people that wouldn't shut up in Portland. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shoesgetcold Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Jeff gave Champaign another jab last night as he compared the clapping of the Milwaukee crowd saying something to the effect of even if you guys are not great, you are soooo much better than Friday's show in Champaign.Personally I think Champaign smells when the wind blows right and the kids are lame. And there is no comparison between Foellinger and Pabst. That said Champaign is a nice place to visit for a show as the people were all generally nice and you never know when you might run into Borat. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tweeds and Weedz Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 i am from chicago and i think champaign is a pretty nice place to go see a concert, its a change of pace from all the shows in chicago...the crowd could have been better it did seem a little hesitant but id rather have a crowd be too quiet than be too obnoxious so you cant hear....great show i hope the one at auditorium will be equal or better Quote Link to post Share on other sites
