Very relaxed and talkative Jeff Tweedy at the Barbican last night. (3 February 2018)
Performing solo with acoustic guitar and harmonica, he opened with a powerful 1-2-3 of Via Chicago, I Am Going To Break Your Heart and Ashes Of American Flags.
This led into a set drawn from the repertoires of most of the bands he's been involved with through the years, with - obviously - a heavy emphasis on the Wilco songbook. All the interpretations went down well with the sold out crowd although it was a little strange hearing Impossible Germany without Nels Cline's solo.
Mr Tweedy even threw in a couple of new songs, the second of which expresses a wish for the world to be swept away in another flood. He turned this into a singalong.
The encore started with a truncated version of Remember The Mountain Bed and finished with A Shot In The Arm six songs and an impromptu Q&A later.
Slightly shorter than a Wilco set but he was doing all the lifting himself.
