thejokeexplained Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 I thought the crowd was cool. I enjoy the people who yell out things because it gets Jeff going. I was laughing my ass off at times. as a taper and someone who generaly goes to shows for the music. The ones that laugh and encourage shout outs can at times be more annoying then the ones that do the shouting out. I missed Acuff-Rose The lights around me came on and I figured it was over. Bus to catch? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
redstripe Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 i took some pics during the encore, they are decidedly meh. will re-size them and post later... the guy who laughed was more impressed than anything. he also had a running commentary going about much he loved 'this' song.

petemoss Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 I love when crowds are quiet and respectful during acoustic shows.The only downside is hearing the whisper-singing of the people around you at a pretty loud level. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dude Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 *Jeff came out pretty promptly at 9 p.m. and played until about 10:35. Thought we might get one more new song, but maybe he'll do a different one tomorrow night. I was just as glad to get a second listen to the one I'm calling "Open Up Your Mind." It's definitely got some interesting, very poetically crafted lyrics, and a folky feel to it. This was the one he played at the Rahm fundraiser? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ViaBuffalo Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 as a taper and someone who generaly goes to shows for the music. The ones that laugh and encourage shout outs can at times be more annoying then the ones that do the shouting out. Bus to catch? 1.) I think everyone goes for the music but 99% of the shout outs and laughs came between songs so who cares? I think the give and take between Jeff (or any singer for that matter) and the crowd makes the show more fun as long as it isn't over the top annoying. The only dude that was a little annoying was the dude in the front that kept shouting "Crank it to 11" or whatever. But from my vantage point he only did that between songs. 2.) Had to drive back to Buffalo. Had class at 8am. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lizish Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 I could listen to that finger picking outro to Acuff Rose all day long...so good. Thanks for posting.

dmait Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 An extremely tepid review of the show: http://www.chartattack.com/reviews/2011/mar/23/jeff-tweedy-better-with-wilco-than-without# At least the commenters criticize the writer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sunday reporter Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 So I have been "outed" as the "Acuff-Rose" back-up singer. Never been prouder. Should have sung the whole song. Or maybe not. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

spideyspence Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 What a show. Sorry took so long, here is a picture of Jeff's setlist from the first night. So jealous of those who got to go to both shows. Take it easy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kidsmoke Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 That's adorable. Yes, welcome to Via Chicago, Dave. I thought your backup singing was nifty. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sunday reporter Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Do "nifty" and "Tweedy" go together? Might prefer "essential to every future performance of the song". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
