JAK2112 Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 I was there, and it was fantastic! Jeff and Spencer were great during the YLT set, even when Jeff seemed a bit shaky on the song structures (Mr Tough was a good example), he still found ways to add a lot. And Spencer really shined throughout the night, picked up songs really fast with Georgia, and even played the keyboard riff on "Just What I Needed". Jeff & Spencer's opening set was really great. Towards the end, Jeff started taking requests from the crowd, but when he tried to play "Gun" after a few people yelled it out, he couldn't remember how to play the verses. Tried to get it right for a minute, before giving up, saying "you guys made me actually forget one of my own songs." As best as i remember (should have written it down!), this was the setlist for Tweedy. If anyone else was there and catches something i missed, please chime in!
