Backstage at Largo 

Friday February 25

 

Orphan (Spencer on thigh slaps. Macie Stewart & Sima Cunningham on backing vocals.)

— Jeff explains that they are backstage at Largo at the Coronet Theater. 
— Jeff gets his “game face” on, as do the rest of the band. 
— Jeff can’t reveal who’s next door in the backstage area because it’s a surprise for the audience. Susie says that the surprise was ruined on social media by using the surprise guest’s initials. Jeff jokes “how do they know it’s not Norm Oscarberg.” 
— the band members give Susie their names & ages. 
The Losing End (Neil Young cover. Spencer on thigh claps & backing vocals. Macie, Sima, Liam & Sammy on backing vocals. James Elkington on an unplugged electric guitar.)

It Must Be Love (Labi Siffre cover. Spencer, Macie, Sima & Sammy on backing vocals and thigh slaps. James Elkington on electric guitar.)

— Jeff hopes that the show gets picked up, while they’re out in Los Angeles. 
 

 

We were all treated to a very surprise stream of the backstage rehearsal. I sure hope that Norm Oscarberg was a hit tonight. 
 

 

Norm was terrific, and he even had a surprise guest of his own, his former castmate Jason O' Hara!

Largo night 4 encore
Monday February 28

 

— an usher comes over to tell Susie that there’s no filming. She tells him that she’s his wife. 
— the audience shouts requests at Jeff.

Save It For Me (with Sammy on backing vocals.) 

Smothered In Hugs (Guided By Voices cover sung by Sammy.)

— Jeff asks for requests from the audience. He jokes that they’re shitty requests. An audience member asks Jeff why he asks for requests. Jeff says to kill time, for human connection and to see if people know his songs. 
California Stars 

— Jeff says that he knows someone who makes wooden butt plugs. Jeff quickly admits that it’s one of Nick Offerman’s bits. An audience member screams out that they wouldn’t want splinters which leads to a brief discussion about splinters. 
Radio King

— Jeff talks about the DeLorean at the birthday party next door to Danny’s house. 
I’m The Man Who Loves You (dedicated to Susie.)

In case anyone missed it, Susie will be streaming tonight’s show at Largo @11:30pm EST.

That was a pleasant surprise to experience the whole show this evening. Wasn’t expecting that. Thanks to David Handelman for giving me the heads up! Thanks once again to Susie for streaming it to all of us! Oh! And a big thanks to Brian F. for taking a pic of Monday night’s setlist which had some of the new songs’ working titles. That helped me out on the third song of the evening. 

I’ll go skimpy on the notes, since it’s later than usual. Plus, Paul should have a great recap coming soon.

Hi Friends - I have finally updated the Tweedy Show mp3 archive (over 2,000 song files). All files have been meticulously logged and tagged so they can be easily filtered, searched, and sorted - in iTunes or similar. 

 

Please email me at wilcovault@gmail.com to request the download link (please keep private and only share with friends/family). 

 

My long term goal is to do a similar treatment for all the files in the Owl and Bear archive! 

[u2roolz]

Probably not a secret any longer, but The Tweedy Show returns this evening at 9pm CST. Can you believe it?

That was exactly the balm my soul needed. I've spent the past two days re-arranging closets and furniture, and was losing my steam to finish the job, but I put on the Tweedys and sailed through the rest of my work happily. I'm still glowing. I love this family.

Pretty sure she was referring to former SA drummer Jamey Barnard, fwiw. Sadly I never got to go to Lounge Ax (top five regret!), so I wasn't familiar with the wooden animals!

 

Anyway, here's a short bio of Souled American for the uninitiated. Clearly an influence on Jeff.

Sorry for the late reply, but I wanted to do a thorough check. I only see the July 8, 2022 & December 31, 2020 episodes on the Stuffinourhouse Instagram page. The page appears to be missing an icon to click on that’s on the Instagram App. It’s that little TV icon that hosts “all”of the past episodes. Maybe this is to force people to download the app? Edit: I should clarify that this is how it looks on my iPhone. Perhaps the webpage is different on a desktop. 🤷🏻‍♂️
 

The app is the first picture.

Thanks for posting this recap! VC was down due to some glitch at GoDaddy, nothing wrong here at the site. Maybe the weird weather was involved?

Thank you to Susie for filming the show tonight. Unexpected, but always welcome. And catch Paul’s recap for Banter Corner. Or just watch the concert. 

[tweedynerd]

@u2roolz - "Nothing New" and "Evicted From Your Heart" are two different songs. I don't believe "Nothing New" was played tonight at Largo (night 4) on the Tweedy show.

Yeah, I made an edit which didn’t save for some reason. Then I edited it yet again to mention that “Nothing New” is listed as Having A Hard Time on WilcoWorld.
 

The title Nothing New is claimed to have been seen from a setlist for the show on the 5th. That’s where the issue came from. I took a look over at Setlist FM to look into the new songs to see if anyone saw a setlist. 
 

I deleted it all figuring no one would ever see it. Lol! It got confusing. Guess it’s always best to check WilcoWorld over Setlist FM. 
 

edit: I guess it could be any song, actually. As far as I remember, Jeff uses a list of songs (in no particular order) to choose from during his solo shows. So maybe it is a new song that he hasn’t gotten around to playing yet. Or Setlist FM is wrong.

Just for the record, I went with Having A Hard Time for the title of the song in question because Wilcoworld actually posted the setlist for the first Largo show on Jan. 5 before I finished my recap/setlist post here. I originally called it "It's Nothing New" as well, but changed it in deference to what Wilcoworld had. I hear that someone may have seen a song listed as "Nothing New" on a physical setlist at the show, which is almost certainly where the confusion stems from. So until Jeff clarifies it or the song is released with one title or the other, we won't know for sure.

 

Either way, I wouldn't completely trust Setlist.fm on anything. It's a nice resource to have, but I'm sure there are also errors on there as with any Wiki-type database that anyone can contribute to or change. Very occasionally Wilcoworld has an error, too. Nobody's perfect, but I would tend to defer to Wilcoworld on song titles unless Jeff himself clarifies it either during a show, on the Tweedy Show or on his Substack.
