yermom Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 I'm currently working on my degree in Early Childhood Education and the Montessori method has intrigued me for a while now but once I saw that Jeff and Sue send their kids to a Montessori school I became even more intrigued. How mega-fan of me. Back on topic-- I'm very jealous of all who attended the show. I hope you all had a great time and I can't wait to see what all you have to say about it!

bobbob1313 Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 I can confirm "Radio King", "Either Way", "Love And Mercy". There was also one song I couldn't identify. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blindgonzo Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 YAY! Hope everybody had a fantastic time. I would have killed to be there!!! Well, not really. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kidsmoke Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Ah, jealousy, jealousy! Tell me more! I taught years ago at a Montessori school.....a great school to support. Jeff & Sue are so smart to send their boys this way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pecan_Pie Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Jeff supporting alternative education makes me a very happy person. Since I ... alternative educate. Greatest thing since breathing I swear. Montessoris are really great. I think the ones out by be are actually funded by the public school... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lessthanIthink Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Before the doors were open, Sue walked through the line and took requests. She wrote the song and the name of the requester on large sheets of paper which were taped down on stage as Jeff's songlist. For the most part, Jeff announced the names of the requesters from the stage. I've never seen anything quite like this before. I didn't keep a setlist, but here is some of what was played.

Preferred B Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 A certain trusty fellow has the complete setlist, and I'm sure he'll post it in the next day or so if nobody else has one. What a super show. I think lessthanIthink remembered most of the songs, but there was also "The Auld Triangle" (!) I was thrilled to finally hear "Pot Kettle Black" again. And "Less Than You Think," of course. Oh, and I thought "You Are My Face" was terrific live. I can't wait to see it played with the full band. Also thoroughly enjoyed Jeff's "German interviewer" impressions. All of his impressions, actually. I keep trying to think of new ways to say "Jeff and Susan are a couple of wonderful, generous people" but I guess that pretty much sums it up. Evonne, everyone thought of you afterward at Clarke's when the side of bacon arrived. I believe you have photographic evidence! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wendy Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 I cannot believe I drove through a white-out blizzard for 2 of my 3-1/2 hours home tonight. Freakish, I tell you, and not a lot of fun. But it was a really fun night at The Vic (and afterwards at Clarke's too!) It was cool to be on the floor of the Vic for a change - I usually like the front row balcony seats at the Vic, but this was a seated show and Allison had saved me a seat in the center of the 2nd elevated area on the floor, along with Edie & Scott, Erin, Morgan, Kristin, and Aaron. Down the row was Warner and Chandler taping. Being seated was perfect for this show, and the audience was wonderful. I don't know how full the balcony was, but the main floor was pretty much full in case anyone wonders about the turn-out. Jeff sounded great, bantered great. Although you will be able to hear it all for yourselves on the recording, here's two things: Jeff said that his confidence had been blown earlier in the day by his son. Jeff was practicing in the basement when his son came downstairs and asked, "Dad, are you okay?" to which Jeff replied, "Yeah. Why?" And his son says, "Well, because you usually sound better." And one more -- Jeff commented on his own scholastic record as a kid. He admitted he hadn't been a great student, but recently he came across one of his own report cards, and it showed that he flunked creative writing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tjr Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Great show last night. Thanks to Sue for posting here and letting us know. The Vic seemed very full to me. I can't get "Pecan Pie" out of my head. Thanks to Aimee, who was talking to Sue in line when I called, I was able to get my song request in via cell phone ("New Madrid"). Thanks Matt for getting in line so early yesterday... Loved hearing "Love and Mercy" ... Awesome poster too! Best birthday in a long time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Edie Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 I have to leave quickly now, but want to say how much fun this show was. Music and banter all first rate. Glad the cell-phone thingy worked out to my call-ees (never am sure if it'll sound any good or not). It was really great seeing everyone; would've hit Clarkes afterwards but we were both tired. Also, Scott really enjoyed the show. Not sure if he is 100% converted or not, but would go up again. That's really how it starts, isn't it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Blossom Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 What an absolute blast! Jeff did a great job juggling the "hardcore" fans, the Montessori school crowd and the miscellaneous. As did his wife. He made many funny jokes about the teachers being present in the audience stuff like "Oh, I'm so embarrassed now I'm never picking up or dropping off the kids again..." (You had to be there?) Just fun and complimentary towards his children's educators. There were a few requests which he just couldn't do -- for whatever reasons -- and he asked for a substitute. Yes, the parts about being interviewed in Europe were HYSTERICAL. Jeff did this impersonation of some german guy who is very intellectual and analytical and says his questions in a way Jeff is not sure if it's a question or a statement. And the Spanish woman/interviewer who insists Jeff's songs are "sad, very very sad," and does great "facial olympics" after each of his answers. The songs which were sung and requested by the hardcore fans who stood in line outside, phenomenonal. And, what a blessing to have your favorite artist gift you like that! Lucky lucky. The entire evening was great, nobody acted like an ass, great singing along and clapping ALL THE WAY THROUGH JESUS, ETC. (that was me, heehe) OK: finally, adore the poster. What beautiful detail in that tree and what a great funky hippie feeling it has. Can't wait to frame it as a constant reminder of an intimate musical evening with Jeff Tweedy.

lessthanIthink Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 The poster is "totally awesome". I'm still in awe about last night. Jeff and Sue went above and beyond for this event. Incredible. The balcony was full almost to the top. With seats downstairs, I was torn. The front of the Vic's balcony is one of my favorite places to see music anywhere. I managed to recruit the legendary Lou B to sit up there. We were howling during some of the stage banter. My Highlights: Pot Kettle Black - It's such a great song, and it works solo acoustic. Please bring it back into the Wilco rotation! The Good Part Your are My Face - Last night, it hit me over the head what a great song this is. Less Than You Think - Solo acoustic, it's still chilling. Very cool. When the Roses Bloom Again Perfect crowd. Rowdy between songs, but SILENT when Jeff was playing. Woo-Hoo! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
