questcequecest? Posted March 22, 2011 Report Posted March 22, 2011 oooh. my first snowblink show!seeyas there!!
deranger Posted March 22, 2011 Report Posted March 22, 2011 has anyone seen a Jeff Tweddy solo show or footage of one? massively annoying sing-along.
PassedOutGuy Posted March 22, 2011 Report Posted March 22, 2011 I absolutely love everything he does solo. The video's ive seen are so much fun. Can't wait for tonight.
Booche Posted March 22, 2011 Report Posted March 22, 2011 massively annoying sing-along Sing-alongs have their time and place. I assume Friday will have at least one or two and it fucking better. No one I went with to see Wilco in Ottawa complained about the crowd singing along to Jesus Etc. That shits waaaaay different than drunken clowns who dont know when to shut up. Deranger, you probably would have complained at a Dead show when the crowd joined in during NFA.
deranger Posted March 22, 2011 Report Posted March 22, 2011 First off, I agree that sing alongs always have their time and place and aren't at all always annoying. God only knows I've "sang along" shit loads. Jesus Etc sing along was annoying but more because I got the impression Jeff Tweddy was a) tired off singing it tired of the subtle crowd sing along, so he made an obvious crowd sing along. Second, I'm basing this on that small fundraiser or contest show that was posted online or on their website, that Jeff Tweedy played solo, where the entire audience tried to sing along to literally every song. It was a small room and a small audience but man was it annoying hearing the room try to sing with him. It wasn't drunken clowns and I have no doubt that these shows will be awesome, but for $45 a piece, I would be pissed if people attempted to sing with more than say a few songs. And I always sing along to NFA.
Jay Funk Dawg Posted March 22, 2011 Report Posted March 22, 2011 a friend of mine has extras... let me know if you need any jay.cleary @ gmail.com
Jay Funk Dawg Posted March 23, 2011 Report Posted March 23, 2011 Wow that was a great show... the banter was so funny! The crowd sang happy birthday to the road crew guy Steve, then Jeff said something about - you Canadians.... ... love to sing happy birthday.. what a riot!
PassedOutGuy Posted March 23, 2011 Report Posted March 23, 2011 "STEVE!!" What a great show... second song Spiders (Kidsmoke) got me!
Jay Funk Dawg Posted March 23, 2011 Report Posted March 23, 2011 I had a bit of tear hanging on to my woman for Jesus, Etc. " Our love, is all we have. "
afro poppa Posted March 23, 2011 Report Posted March 23, 2011 Great show, Tweedy is such a showman..we were either laughing or in awe of his talent. I wish I was going again tomorrow...so good.
Mr. Photogeek Posted March 23, 2011 Report Posted March 23, 2011 Great show...weird venue, but the sound was really good from our seats. I was on the fence about going at first, but I'm really glad I went. Here's a video of the mic-less encore (not my video, found it on youtube):

afro poppa Posted March 23, 2011 Report Posted March 23, 2011 Thanks for the set list. That song Open Up Your Mind was amazing, are we sure it is new? I know I didn't recognize it...
Kanada Kev Posted March 23, 2011 Report Posted March 23, 2011 Fantastic show!!! Soooooo happy I didn't miss this one. Acoustic Kidsmoke was killer Bob, I agree.Thanks for posting that vid of Acuff Rose. I'm so glad the audience didn't f it all up and you could almost hear a pin drop. Wish I could go again tonight.Thanks for the set list. That song Open Up Your Mind was amazing, are we sure it is new? I know I didn't recognize it...Yup, that's a new one. He performed it (twice) at the George Stroumboulopolous taping the other day. You'll be able to see it when it's broadcast this Friday night. He didn't say the name of the song on the show, sorry.Bob, Bri and Mellie, it was great having preshow beers 'n' wings with ya. Nice bumping into TimmyB and a bunch of other skanks too. Sorry I was brief but I had to run and then found a seat by the bar. We had to bail right after the show to get back to the babysitter.
Jakis Posted March 23, 2011 Report Posted March 23, 2011 Great show! Can't wait for round two tonight! Highlights for me were spiders, muzzle of bees, I'm always in love, A magazine called sunset, shot in the arm and acuff rose.
PassedOutGuy Posted March 23, 2011 Report Posted March 23, 2011 (edited) Thanks for that video... loved being no more than 10 feet away from him as he belted it out. What really got me last night was how respectful the Toronto audience was during the songs. Completely silent in there which is rare in a TO venue. Great to see ya kev, b,Jake and thanks for the ride over to the venue Pete. Good times. Whose got my heady free kickdown for tonight? I so wanna go back! Edited March 23, 2011 by Guest
