  1. The show was great, but most of the ushers were very rude to my friends and me. One usher took us to the wrong side of our section, and when we tried to walk back up the stairs to get to the other side, another usher told us we couldn't go up that way. It was all very weird. It didn't ruin my night, but I was annoyed.

  3. FANTASTIC!! I was skeptical he'd be able to pull off the solo acoustic set, but he did a great job. Lighting should have been more stark during acoustic set but I'm just being picky. Great show, it also helps that he never wants to stop playing.

  6. Great show. Loved showcasing the new material, and Jeff's solo portion was fantastic (as usual). And how about Nels making an appearance for California Stars?!?!? Amazing!

  7. I concur with the two comments at 8:42AM and 9:41AM: My wife and I enjoyed the show, especially the blend of new material, hits-we-hoped-to-hear, and deep cuts. In fact, the two Golden Smog songs were new to us -- new, old, and deep all-at-once. I am also grateful to BAM for posting the video. We will no doubt run it several times while it lasts.

  8. Sublime. Jeff Tweedy is so versatile, the band was so tight, and the guy's just so cool, without having to try. I worship at the altar of Tweedy.

  9. First time to BAM and was very impressed, beautiful venue and what a great performance by master song-writer Jeff Tweedy. What an excellent tight band that covered Tweedy's whole career. I look forward to going back to BAM for more shows.
