zoesdaddy Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Great performance as usual! It would be great if they would have performed You Are My Face instead. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Central Scrutinizer Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 I was underwhelmed, approaching whelmed. She seemed completely out of place, not knowing where to stand, where to move. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

newbornghost Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 The band was in the pocket and understated +1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zuma Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 It seemed like Feist's mic wasn't turned up enough...anyone else feel that way? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Speed Racer Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 She seemed completely out of place, not knowing where to stand, where to move. Feist always kind of comes off as the opposite to me: she always looks confidently in place and perfect wherever she is, with the goofy charm of making everyone else seem suddenly awkward. I love it. She's like an incredibly sexy and adorable housecat, sitting right smack in the middle of the newspaper you're reading. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
davewil Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 It seemed like Feist's mic wasn't turned up enough...anyone else feel that way? Agree. I also wish Feist sang a verse by herself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thejokeexplained Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Watching this performance is exactly the reason i prefer live music to recorded. After two weeks of heavy rotation listening to the recored i never fully appreciated the guitar parts until last night. Nels work at the end of this song added so much to the vibe of this song watching him play it live. Great job Wilco! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Al.Ducts Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 The organ work was phenomenal during this performance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I love it. She's like an incredibly sexy and adorable housecat, sitting right smack in the middle of the newspaper you're reading. Ditto. One could easily get the horn from watching that performance too often. And I could be wrong but it seemed like John was giving her pins and booty some attention also.

DAngerer09 Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 And I could be wrong but it seemed like John was giving her pins and booty some attention also. haha. I caught that as well. Feist is good lookin' Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mr. Heartbreak Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 I thought it was excellent, better than the studio version. The point where Jeff's voice goes up an octave or three didn't sound strained, as it does on the disc (and, unfortunately, on all too many songs on the previous CD). He sounded better than he has on most of the performances I've seen on late night shows, including Conan. I thought Feist was understated but sounded great and looked like she was having fun. Overall, I'd give it an A. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dmait Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 I have a new appreciation for the song after seeing it in Keyspan. As good as it was, though, I thought she missed a chance at the end to make it really special. At the end during the outro, Jeff gave her room to really belt out and go beyond the record, but she instead stopped singing altogether, looking somewhat uncomfortable. It was a (minor) missed opportunity that would have really catapulted an otherwise fine version to extraordinary. Too bad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nobody Girl Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 It seemed like Feist's mic wasn't turned up enough...anyone else feel that way?Yep. I could barely hear her. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 It was nice to hear them both nail "misconstrued" - that moment on the record irks me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
