PigSooie Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Great show. Tweedy talked a LOT. He went on for ten minutes about shit (yes feces). I enjoyed the talk, but I have never grown out of that. He finished the show in front of the mics with you know what (think Ryman). There were no posters, or t shirts for sale. Glenn came out, and played the encore with Jeff. The crowd was great other than some jackass yelling, "Play something we know!." Jeff's mood changed right after that. It was toward the end of the show, but it was obvious Jeff wasn't pleased. All in all it was a great show. Goodies to come. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PigSooie Posted January 17, 2007 Author Share Posted January 17, 2007 did he play gun? I don't know. He played some songs that I haven't heard before. I'm not really up to date. Sorry. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Binaural Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 How long did he play.. encore? how was glenn's opening set? everyone sit? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PigSooie Posted January 17, 2007 Author Share Posted January 17, 2007 He played from about 9-11. The encore was probably 15 minutes. I thought Glenn sucked, but his stuff isn't my thing. Everyone was seated until Jeff played Acuff Rose. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PigSooie Posted January 17, 2007 Author Share Posted January 17, 2007 passenger side? shot in the arm? theologians? thanks for the report The only one of those he played was Theologians, but I can't remember if Glenn was up there, or not. Hopefully, this works. Sorry it's cut short. My memory card ran out of space in the middle of the song. AcuffMvi_0393.Avi.Zip by Bigupload.Com Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jakobnicholas Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 So we know that: - Jeff talked about crap.- Played for 2 hours.- Sang Acuff Rose, California Stars, Theologians and Heavy Metal Drummer.- Jeff also "played some songs that I haven't heard before. I'm not really up to date. Sorry."- You think Glenn sucked. If only all concert reviews could be so thorough. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

wskitche Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 The show was awesome. Started with sunken treasure > patient with me > moutain bed after that (i think), played wait up too. Glenn was uber badass. Talked quite a bit about shit. Jeff told us that his kid pooped something that looked like a "baby's arm holding an apple." We even played a game involving feces. All told, a scattastic night. Said his wife would find out about all the shit talk on the internet (hi) and he would be chided(sorry). He finished off with Acuff Rose unamplified. In my quest to stay on the bleeding edge of the internet, ive put a movie up of if for a pal and you folks might as well get it too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Speed Racer Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Welcome to the boards, and thanks for the partial setlist! As a new member, we usually require you to know ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING, including the color of Herr Tweedy's boogers, but this time we'll let you slide. Seriously, thought, thanks for what you gave us. 'Lost Love?' Uh...geez. I'll go cry by myself now for missing that, and think fondly of your magical experience as I smash my face into the kleenex. Welcome aboard! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hoodoo Man Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 That was a fantastic show! I could have used some more songs, but I was too busy laughing to have any reason to complain. I'll do my best to add something so here goes: Glenn opened his set with "Where The Wild Things Are", then a song he said he adapted for drums. He played "Mobile" and I believe next was "Monkey Chant For Drum Kit" (I'm really not familiar with the song titles so some are just close). But for this song he unleashed boxes of radioactive crickets from what I could tell. One of which he had trouble wrestling back into it's box at the end of the song. I know he did a song called "Promises of What Might" or something along those lines and at least one more song from his new album. I really enjoyed his set but I believe a lot of people were getting kind of restless towards the end of it. Percussive music is certainly an acquired taste, but I give the crowd credit because everyone was very respectful and let Glenn do his thing without interruption. Jeff as stated before was VERY talkative. He said it was the easiest show he'd ever done because he only played about 4 songs and talked the rest of the time. The highlights of the banter was the poop talk, poop band name game, favorite sides and his re-enactment of him decking the meth head who jumped on stage in Springfield. Jeff was at the top of his game with his banter. He couldn't shut up and kept the crowd laughing the whole time. He also compared himself, negatively of course, to Glenn. While Jeff was in Mexico laying on the beach being lazy, the talented, beautiful Glenn was building a school in Guatemala. To the music: I apologize for not know the order, but the show was interrupted so often by Jeff's banter, that I lost track. Sunken Treasure, IATTBYH, Jesus Etc., ITMWLY, Theologians, Ruling Class, Laminated Cat, Wait Up, Acuff-Rose, Lost Love, Remember The Mountain Bed, California Stars and 4 new songs. One of the new ones must have been Patient With Me (which was outstanding). One had the lyric, "You were wrong to believe in me". Sorry, but I haven't heard many boots of the new tunes. I do know that he did not play "Walken" so that wasn't one of the new ones. I think he may have played "Lost Love" for Jody Stephens. I don't know for sure, but I believe he was in the audience. But Jeff said he recorded "Lost Love" in Memphis, or at least played it with a guy from Memphis (Jody). So I don't know if that will be a regular in his sets or not. Jesus ETC was a request from the audience. He was about to play something else and said he would try to play Jesus and see how it went. It was incredible! I thought his playing and singing was great. His voice got stronger as the night went on. The only song he really fumbled through was "Wait Up". I could tell by the smirks/frustrated smiles on his face that he was not happy with his playing on that one, but it was enjoyable all the same. He kind of chastised somebody for giving him a "WHOO" when he punched the echo on that song because he said he felt like a special needs person who was being cheered for doing something simple. The mood never really got heavy. Jeff teased the audience and complimented them just as much. I don't think there was anybody who didn't enjoy themselves. Except for maybe that one dude, but that wasn't too big a deal. Acuff-Rose was mesmerizing. The theater was so quiet while he played. It was a definite goose bump moment. This was an incredible opportunity for us fans who don't get chances to see Jeff solo. I'm glad he decided to hit a few more cities and am grateful for one of the best shows I've ever seen.

Preferred B Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 One had the lyric, "You were wrong to believe in me". Whoa, was that a new song, or "You Were Wrong" from the first Loose Fur record? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
