bböp Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Well, it appears that the first of the annual Living Room shows Jeff does to benefit Letters To Santa went down last night somewhere in LA at the home of Jeff Ullrich, who is a co-founder of Midroll Media and, by extension, Earwolf (one the biggest comedy podcast companies). Incidentally, I think this must have been the show that went in the Internet auction — for in excess of $150k. Anyway, I obviously wasn't there and have no inside information other than what's publicly available, but some easy Internet snooping revealed that folks like Marc Maron, Scott Aukerman and Lauren Lapkus were in attendance (Lapkus posted a brief video clip of Jeff playing Remember The Mountain Bed...tsk tsk). What's the likelihood we ever see a complete setlist?(C'mon...surely someone on here must've been there. Haha!) Maron's tweet:https://twitter.com/marcmaron/status/706367213687582720 Aukerman's tweet:https://twitter.com/scottaukerman/status/706359087605223424 And here's a link to presumably the poster for the show; I believe Arden is Ullrich's kid:https://instagram.com/p/BCYgNKLSxhh/ Ain't social media grand?

lost highway Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 I wonder if there's any chance Jeff dropped by Marc's garage for a podcast. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Magnetized Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Wow, here's the setlist. they definitely got their money's worth--great songs and some long ones too! https://www.instagram.com/p/BCnpfXoDyE-/ I wonder what Mississippi was? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

uncool2pillow Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Would love to hear Tweedy on Maron's podcast. Not sure he'd like getting as personal as Maron gets. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
randomname Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Maybe Mississippi was a Bob Dylan cover? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Albert Tatlock Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 I really really wish it was a cover of this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f35JyHY38a0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Magnetized Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 There's a brief recap of the LRS on today's episode of Marc Maron's WTF podcast. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bböp Posted March 7, 2016 Author Share Posted March 7, 2016 Nick Offerman was also there, apparently. Wonder if Jon Hamm made it. https://twitter.com/mikemccawley/status/706578126977929217 Kind of funny (no pun intended) to think of Jeff performing in front of all of these comedians. Hopefully the banter was up to snuff... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jw harding Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Tweedy covering Mississippi by Dylan would be a rock n roll cream dream. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

anthony Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Pretty cool to see the tuning's used in the setlist. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Magnetized Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Marc Maron did a short writeup about this living room show on his blog http://us1.campaign-archive2.com/?u=c6e3c362af0fe1f2bf727ac27&id=012fbb5937&e=922550416e For those who don't want to read the non-Tweedy content, here's what he had to say: So, the other night I was invited to someone’s house for a party. I don’t usually go to parties but this was a friend and business associate and… Jeff Tweedy was supposed to play an acoustic set in the living room after dinner. What? This seemed like a pretty highfalutin party to me, almost awkward in my mind. A guy just pays to have one of the best songwriters and musical artists of his generation play in his house. I had to go. Turns out I was wrong about the whole thing and it was an amazing evening. The host was Jeff Ulrich, who is the mastermind behind Earwolf, Midroll and Howl. He is an unsung hero in the evolution of podcasting. He sold his company a while back and is now transitioning into the great unknown and moving away from LA. He has been a great friend of our show and podcasting in general. He created a platform so many of us could use to monetize our shows with advertising along with a network of great podcasts and the new Howl app. Jeff is from Chicago and he bid at a charity event for an evening with Jeff Tweedy and got it. All the money he paid went to charity and we all got to hang out and watch Tweedy do a 30 song, two-hour-plus set spanning his entire career. It was amazing to hear all those songs acoustic and just see what a pro he is. He’s also hilarious and self-effacing and it was some of the best between tune banter I’ve seen from any musician. Amazing night. And because Jeff Ulrich reads these I want to thank him and wish him nothing but the best. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
