Was indeed. He was great. He had a difficult time due to there being some idiots in the audience who wouldn't shut up. He coped well and put on a fantastic show. Hope he will be back with the full band next year

Yeah I toddled along and thought he was superb but didn't expect anything less.He played stuff from all corners of his career & there wasn't a duff song on offer.The most surprising aspect of the show was how he
handled requests & hecklers with a supreme dry wit & there were many laugh out loud moments for everyone.Hell he even namechecked Stiff Little Fingers
during Heavy Metal Drummer.I'd say the next time we see
Tweedy he'll bring Wilco with him.Well I'm hoping...

It was a great gig. He really attempted to crowd-please, i felt, with the setlist. Reckon we were lucky to get him in such fine form and he seemed very appreciative of the crowd despite the few attention seekers - you'd think with an older crowd there'd be less. I mainly wanted to hear Sunken Treasure, and having started with it everything else was a brucie-bonus. Thought the Mermaid Avenue songs really stood out. 'One by One' was just beautiful. Im pretty sure he said Wilco would be back next year but he didnt answer the question 'When?'. I'll definitely be travelling if they come anywhere in Europe, i was really pining for some feedback and droning last night.
