Doug C Posted November 9, 2017 Author Share Posted November 9, 2017 Pretty sure he "retired: last summer....Actually, this is likely his last tour. The final show is Saturday night at the Moore Theater in Seattle. I considered flying out, now I'm ruing the decision. You are correct that he announced in the summer that he's retiring from touring, but the final shows were this fall. Thanks for putting my hopes to see him in bold, though.

chuckrh Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 has anyone gone to any of the shows? i heard something about him only playing 6 songs @ the first show. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Doug C Posted November 10, 2017 Author Share Posted November 10, 2017 I doubt he's playing many songs. I'd guess that the KCRW show, that you can watch on the above link, is a good representation, length-wise. He's a trooper (or is it trouper? Trouper looks odd, but theater troupe? Haha). The, I think, lithium-induced palsy in his left arm is non-stop, he sits and has lyrics in front of him but he sings well and is into it. The shows include a showing of "The Devil and Daniel Johnston", plus other bands/musicians. I'd take 6 songs any day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nalafej Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 I caught the first show backed by Tweedy. They played for roughly an hour. They did 18 songs. It was great. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chuckrh Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 I'd go but I'm not well. Getting around is a challenge right now.I'm hoping to rally & make the Mogwai show day after Thanksgiving. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
