Knoxville 1/30/07


Recommended Posts

Good times! Jeff was in rare form and seemed to be enjoying the experience, even though at the end it was getting a little monotonous with the requests. However, he seemed to take it in stride. Love the Jeff Leppard story and the lot shirt....."Pour some Tweedy on me" :P I always love going to shows at Bijou. The sound is so crisp. Probably my favorite theatre with the Tabernacle right behind it.

 

I tried to remember the setlist, but with all the banter it was kind of hard to keep up. In no particular order and leaving out a few

 

Be Patient with Me

Mtn Bed

Spiders

Radio King

ITMWLY

Cars Can't Escape

How to Fight Loneliness

A Shot in the Arm

Pieholden

IATTBYH

Heavy Metal Drummer

Theologins

Jesus

Immigrant Song Teaser

Hesitating Beauty

New Madrid

Someone Else's Song (no PA)

A Rose (no PA)

 

In closing, I had "that" guy behind me.....that guy who sings along to every song, even when Jeff doesn't request it. It was fine until the no PA tunes and finally a girl said "Seriously dude". :thumbup All in all, it was a great night. My first Tweedy solo show after many years seeing UT and Wilco.

 

almost positive he played 'chinese apple' and another one i didnt recognize (maybe new?) anyone?

Great show. I was very pleased with the audience. After hearing Mountain Bed and Spiders I was happy. Someone Else's Song and Acuff Rose sounded great unplugged. How long did you guys have to stand by Jeff's bus after the show to meet him?

SarahC - My wife and I sat next to you. Neither of us was annoyed. Glad you got to meet him and had a good time. We certainly did.

 

She said you mentioned wanting to be a music teacher of some sort and how that seemed to fit you. Said you were real nice.

Me and Becca were there for about 5-10 minutes tops before he came out...

Hey! You guys were cool! And thanks. Your wife was really nice too!

 

All recordings eventually surface. I know the taper. He mentioned uploading it to Etree, but would rather wait for the VC tracker to be fixed and upload it here.

:w00t :w00t :w00t

i hope the tracker gets up soon! do you know if he does "old school" trades? i can't really do the torrent thing...

I talked to the guy right before the show started, he said he'll get it up here or etree eventually but that he was still processing some old shows in his queue, so it might be a while.

 

Way better than either Mem or Nash. Great show. Pieholden, Cars cant escape, and Immigrant Song were the highlights

Great show. I like the Bijou, my first time there.

I caught Atlanta and Knoxville so I'm dragging a little today.

Two unique experiences in their own right.

 

So you guys keep talking about the gal from Mich......well

how about the gal who yelled, "You are in Knoxvvviiiiiiillllllllllleeeeeeeeee,

Tenerssssssssseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee." Jeff stated, "Please tell me that

wasn't a real accent." LOL. From row 5 floor I couldn't see her in the balcony

but I thought she was the gal I heard screaming out all night (play She's a Jar).

She would have been in the balcony left, or stage right.

 

So these the same gals, 2 different?

 

Whats up with caps off sold cokes and water but beers sold with the pop top

still on. "Reminds me oof my Dad.......Y'all drinking beers out there."

LOL, someone even offered Jeff a beer and he replied something like,

"I guess you haven't read the many rehab stories. " Handled it well.

 

All in all a great 2 nights,and awaiting some Wilco dates. Australia anyone?

You forgot 'Wishful Thinking' :D :blush

I still can't get over the fact he actually played it! I think I will be giddy for days. Oh, that and "Pieholden Suite". Thank-you to the people from B-Ham for that one! :)

 

Wow Sarah... So awesome he played Wishful Thinking...

I'm so jealous ;) he didn't play it in B'ham or ATL... :(

Next show I go to I'll do me a sign like yours and see if it helps...

 

What did the folks in B'ham have to do with Pieholden Suite? Just wondering...

>What did the folks in B'ham have to do with Pieholden Suite?

 

Young gal, coed perhaps on about 6-7 row DEAD center requested it (might

I add in a sweet voice)...said she came all the way from B-ham to hear it played.

Jeff commented on why she came all the way from B-ham since they just played there

Sat nite. She said she went to the show there as well but he didn't play it there so she

hit the road to Knoxville. He granted her wish. Cute gal, cute moment.

More like...."You are in Knocksveal, Tennasay". Yes, she was yelling all night, and I might add that she was sitting in my row along with her crew. I overheard her say it was her first Jeff solo/Wilco show. I believe they around the ripe age of 21 or 22.

 

Must have not completely cut and pasted my setlist from Word, because I have Wait up and Ruling Class listed. However, I did totally forget the Wishful Thinking, Chinese Apple and Airline though.

 

Anyone listening to the webcast?

i know its early to be asking, but any idea when the show will be up? because i don't think i'll be on the computer for a while after sunday.

if/when the show get out, i will send you a snail-mail copy, PM me your address if you'd like.

granted, i can't download so it might take a while for me to get a copy too.
