Amazing!
1 | Ben August 12th, 2008 at 11:13 amI have his living room show from April of that year. Really fun stuff.
2 | Sharpless August 12th, 2008 at 11:51 amthe original AD represent!
3 | theMike August 12th, 2008 at 12:04 pmThanks! I have the April show and love it. My favorite part of it is when Tweedy’s mom and dad request “Please Tell My Brother”. Very touching to hear that since his mother passed away.

Aquarium Drunkard posted a quality bootleg of Jeff Tweedy playing an acoustic benefit in someone’s living room. He even kicks it off with an acoustic take of Spiders(Kidsmoke) and breaks out an Uncle Tupelo tune….
5 | colourmeimpressed.com August 12th, 2008 at 12:12 pmOh man, thank you dearly. 🙂
6 | Joe M. August 12th, 2008 at 3:32 pmOh Lord do I hate sing-alongs… This could have been a classic concert, marred by the fact that a great vocalist, Tweedy, is competing with 30 far-from-great vocalists.
7 | Brian August 12th, 2008 at 4:18 pmI completely agree, why didn’t these people stay at home if they just wanted to hear themselves sing? Actually I spose because it’s a living room concert they did stay at home… but that’s not the point. Nothing worse than going to a show and you can’t hear the performer because everyone in the audience wants to sing along.
8 | Matt August 12th, 2008 at 4:40 pmOh, c’mon, these people are having fun! and shit, they paid like 400 each for the tickets too.
9 | mikey housey August 12th, 2008 at 5:17 pmThis is effing amazing! Thanks so much for posting.

12 | Jeff Tweedy — Living Room (1/14/06) « Musical Stew Daily August 12th, 2008 at 6:42 pmman, i’d really like to get this show! the files keep erroring out; i have another living room show, and if thats any preview, i know i want this one. is there any barrier to downloading these in firefox? please help.
13 | jonas August 13th, 2008 at 12:30 am@ jonas – tracks seem to be downloading for me (using frirefox)
14 | Satisfied '75 August 13th, 2008 at 12:43 amok, all good. thanks, guys! i’m excited about diving into this!
15 | jonas August 13th, 2008 at 10:13 amthe one woman singing along is beyond painful. this could have been an outstanding recording if the super-fans had just let jeff sing.
16 | chris August 13th, 2008 at 1:17 pmI don’t usually listen to/download live sets but these are too good to pass up.
17 | Josh August 13th, 2008 at 3:22 pmAnybody got a SBD patch? This Matrix not sound so good.
18 | Brian August 13th, 2008 at 9:01 pm[…] Krautrock Extended Remix thing that ended up being on A Ghost Is Born. And Lo! The Tweedman leads a 2006 two hour solo set with that very arrangement. Let it be downloaded and multiply. Thank you, Aquarium […]
19 | Songs About Knives » Blog Archive » Get Yr Tweed On August 14th, 2008 at 12:57 amthanks for the download, but i find this set very annoying because all the idiots singing with him. seriously, they couldnt shut up and listen
20 | Matt August 16th, 2008 at 11:11 amI feel the pain of the anti-sing-along people, though if you are going to sing along, it would be around a campfire, and this is about as close as you get. So I don’t have a problem with it in this context. It’s at the concerts that it bugs me (and that’s what Wilco/Tweedy shows have nearly become), since, like people, say, I’m there to see the show and not to hear others lend a hand. Too many times it seems like the sing-along amounts to nothing more than verbalizing your fanship–the more lyrics you know, the bigger fan you are. I guess there’s two kinds of people in the world…
21 | blair August 16th, 2008 at 8:49 pm@ Brian — no SBD exists because there was not P.A. That photo of Tweedy is from the event. Note there is no microphone near his mouth. Enjoy it for what it is or d/l the hundreds of other great Wilco/Tweedy shows and stop your whining.
22 | dude August 19th, 2008 at 3:10 pm[…] First off, early last week the folks at the fabulous L.A.-based music website Aquarium Drunkard posted a special live Jeff Tweedy solo performance from January of 2006. The show, one of three the Wilco frontman performed as part of the Letters to Santa charity event, was recorded in a living room before a very limited audience. You can download the entire 2 hour performance free of charge here. […]

25 | Wilcofan August 27th, 2008 at 1:06 pmthanks for putting this up. : )
26 | Ike September 19th, 2008 at 10:20 ambut I agree, fans sort of made it worse, but its still good.
27 | Ike September 19th, 2008 at 10:54 amcan you put this back up? i missed out and now they’re gone 🙁
28 | ben October 5th, 2008 at 5:09 pmDoes anyone know where to find this concert online? Imeem.com streams it, but I want to download it for myself.
29 | Wilcofan November 24th, 2008 at 11:20 pmCan someone help me out? I’ve been trying to download this for a long time and it doesn’t work. Is there another place that it’s available? I have the other Living Room shows but I’ve tried for literally years to find this one. Can it be reposted or is it somewhere else where I can get it?
