Recommended Posts

Complete setlist, presumably as played (note: the Wilcoworld setlist for this show seems to be incorrect with respect to order; I did see a printed setlist for this show and if there were no changes, then this was the set as played):

------------------------------------

Family Ghost

Twilight Override

Walking The Cow [Daniel Johnston]

Cold Hard World [Daniel Johnston]

Enough

 

Number of Twilight Override songs played (out of 30): 17.

 

“Special” song(s): No real surprises here, other than perhaps both special songs being by Daniel Johnston. You knew they would play at least one Johnston tune in Austin, and both of these tunes were on the live record that half of the Tweedy band members performed with DJ in Chicago in 2017 before he passed away. It would have been interesting, at least in my mind, if they had decided to pay tribute to another famed Austin music personage, Lucinda Williams, by playing her song Sweet Old World back to back with Johnston's Cold Hard World, but alas, this scenario only existed in my dumb brain.

 

Support report: Macie Stewart , playing solo electric with what looks like the same GIbson hollow body that Sima Cunningham has been using during her opening sets. Haven't seen any clips from Macie's set, but presumably it was mostly comprised of songs from her album Mouth Full Of Glass as has been the case throughout this tour.

 

Venue vibes: The Paramount is a venerable old theater — over a century old now — in downtown Austin with a capacity of just under 1,300. I assume it was reserved seating throughout, though I suppose they could have had general admission seating on the floor and reserved in the balcony or something like that. From a few photos I saw online from the show, it seemed like at least the folks on the floor stood for a decent portion of the evening so that's always a plus.

 

Bits of tid, including Banter Corner:

 

  • According to Wilcoworld, the band also taped a three-song session for local radio station KUTX at some point before the show that consisted of Enough, Lou Reed Was My Babysitter and Stray Cats In Spain. In addition, Jeff was interviewed the day after the show for a taping of the local Austin PBS program Overheard WIth Evan Smith. Presumably both will be available to watch/listen to online at some point.
  • Obviously I wasn't able to be there in person for this one, so hopefully anyone who was can chime in with any other pertinent details. I'm sure Jeff had something to say, for instance, about playing the Johnston songs on his home turf.
