It was a late show, but worth it. Doors opened at 8, so my wife and I got down there about 7:20 to try and grab some seats so she (and I) wouldn't have to stand. There was already a line stretching down 7th St. past the Entry door by that check cashing place! We still managed to snag a couple of stools on the main level where they've refinished things (where there used to be stairs going down to a long bar to the left of the stage). We knew we wouldn't be able to see well there but we could kneel on the stools if we really wanted to see.

It wasn't as good as his solo show at the Guthrie a few years ago, but there were some surprises. Glen Kotche opened up with some weird but cool percussion stuff and then played a few songs during one of the encores. The big surprise was when Tweedy's kid, Spencer, rocked the drums on "I'm the Man Who Loves You" on the second(?) encore. He was really awesome for what, an eight-year-old? And Kraig Johnson got up and sang "Pecan Pie" and danced a little (which my wife was quite pleased about). He played songs from across the spectrum- "Gun" to "Passenger Side" to "Spiders," but it seemed to lack a little adventure. Plenty of good banter and good songs but there was some extra ingredient missing that kept it just short of a great show.
