on a private stage in michigan
yes, the michigan theater sucks if you're more than twenty rows from the stage. no, it is not the most conducive environment for jeff tweedy/wilco fans.
this was proven true last night as mr. tweedy held ground for 2+ hours (including 3 encores with 13 songs total) at the m t. it was an intimate evening of wilco and billy bragg/tweedy material.
jeff wasn't so talkative, but on the other hand, the crowd seemed to know not a lick of any of the material. this was surprising given the generally wilco-friendly population in ann arbor and their stellar hill auditorium show last year. they were mostly pin drop silent (good for a performer i suppose), but not very enticing for sing along situations.
highlights included: spiders (kidsmoke) opener, heavy metal drummer, mountain bed, i am trying to break your heart, was i in your dreams, summerteeth, and a multiple song duet with opener glen kotche on drums.
