notary Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Jeff called this one a tough night, which, about 1hr 30min into the show. it most definitely became. Like last night, much of the banter came at the expense of clappers (at one point he challenged then to try to derail his performance with their off clapping. They tried, they failed.) An amusing story involved Jeff getting scolded by a Northhampton do-gooder for idling the tour buses. He was told he could look up the regulations, which he did, and concluded they were legally in the right since they needed the bus's power to "run his dialysis machine...and football squares." It was clearly in jest, but this incensed a member of the audience who yelled out something about the environment not being a joke and scolding him for saying 'the environment would just have to take a hit.' Anyway, the heckler seemed to infuriate Jeff, who pointed out he was joking, and told her to "Sit the f(*k down. After a few more songs, though, he seemed to get more upset than angry. The exchange came up in between every song until the show ended. Lots of variation from last night's show, which I also attended. A live debut (?) of Please Don't Let Me Be So Understood, The work in progress is back (Why, Why, Why), as were: Born Alone, Give Back the Keys, Hesitating Beauty, Not for the Season, Radio King, Please Tell My Brother, Passenger Side, Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RaspberryJam Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 The brilliant Laminated Cat that came right after the tense exchange definitely benefitted from Jeff's anger. that's unfortunate.i hope the concert was enjoyable overall - jeepers, on a Saturday night at a rock n roll show, people should always remember to bring: - their tickets- a sense of humor. That's funny, because after a while, that's essentially what he said, that we are all on the same team, and if you can't bring your sense of humor, don't bother coming out. The show was very enjoyable. I've seen the new TWEEDY 3 times and the latest was by far the best. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And as RJ pointed out, everything got played a bit more intensely after the incident. 'Don't Let Me Be So Understood' had teeth, despite the fact that they were playing it with sheet music and Jeff was reading the lyrics from a page. The twit in the audience--and in the lobby after the show I overheard a group of her friends describing her as just that--is not alone. At nearly every show I've been to in the last 10 years there's someone who thinks buying the ticket makes them a participant in the show, and not a spectator of it. Audience involvement is fine, when it's asked for/encouraged. Jeff was clearly thrown by it--he went back to the topic after at least five songs--but not enough to hurt his playing.

bböp Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Hey notary (or mods, if you can)...you might want to change the date to 9/27 on the thread title. It may save some confusion in the future. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lost highway Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 If yelling at a rock singer in the middle of a concert is where you place your environmental activism..... you don't know where to place your environmental activism. That's the kind of self-righteous shit that is responsible for zero progress and gives the green movement a HORRIBLE name. On a brighter topic, I'm surprised they're already playing a new song. If they keep this up Tweedy will end up recording again with a bunch of people not named Tweedy. I wonder when they'll take a live crack at "I'll Sing It". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Atticus Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 this incensed a member of the audience who yelled out something about the environment not being a joke and scolding him for saying 'the environment would just have to take a hit.' That person has to be a member of Via Chicago. Identify yourself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
linclink Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 OK so the set list here indicates not only the title of the work in progress song "Why Why Why", but also that there was a live premiere of "Please Don't Let Me Be So Misunderstood" as well!! That leaves only "I'll Sing It", "I'll Never Know" & "Pigeons" as having not been played live (joining "Sunloathe" from "The Whole Love"- still not played by Wilco...he has done it solo acoustic)...https://www.facebook.com/wilcohq/photos/a.127996970420.136900.8290410420/10152739084605421/?type=1&theaterTweedySeptember 27, 2014Northampton, MA | Calvin Theatre01 - Nobody Dies Anymore02 - Honey Combed03 - Flowering04 - Summer Noon05 - World Away06 - New Moon07 - High As Hello08 - Desert Bell09 - Why Why Why10 - Love Like a Wire (Diane Izzo cover)11 - Wait For Love12 - Low Key13 - Fake Fur Coat14 - Diamond Light Pt. 115 - I Am Trying to Break Your Heart16 - Radio King [Golden Smog]17 - Please Tell My Brother18 - Hesitating Beauty19 - New Madrid [uncle Tupelo]20 - Born Alone21 - Jesus, Etc.22 - Passenger Side23 - Laminated Cat (aka Not For The Season)24 - I'm the Man Who Loves YouEncore:25 - Please Don't Let Me Be So Understood26 - Only The Lord Knows (Mavis Staples cover)27 - You Are Not Alone28 - Give Back The Key To My Heart (Doug Sahm cover)29 - California Stars Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Caty Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 For those of you that have heard "why, why, why" - do you think it's going to end up a Wilco song? A TWEEDY song? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Magnetized Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 That person has to be a member of Via Chicago. Identify yourself.Ha! Considering the overwhelmingly negative reactions, I seriously doubt that's going to happen. I've been known to go a little bananas but I don't have the guts to do this. And for the record, I was not at this show. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It may save some confusion in the future. Thanks for catching that, bbop. Made the original post at 1:30 in the morning.

notary Posted September 29, 2014 Author Share Posted September 29, 2014 For those of you that have heard "why, why, why" - do you think it's going to end up a Wilco song? A TWEEDY song? Having heard it twice, I'd say it would have fit nicely on a few Wilco records; easily on The Whole Love. I've taped the Northampton show, but haven't had a chance to preview how the recording came out (given my seat I don't have high hopes). If it's passable, I will get the show up soon. If it's not...I'll get that song out there at the very least. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
roadhse ma Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 For those of you that have heard "why, why, why" - do you think it's going to end up a Wilco song? A TWEEDY song?Caught it in Boston Liked it a Lot !Hope it comes out faster than the next Tweedy album so IDE vote for Wilco Quote Link to post Share on other sites
