Mavis Staples - the legend. In great form.
Decatur Square Downtown in Decatur
Setlist included: You are not Alone, Respect Yourself, Let’s do it again, Freedom Highway, Slippery People (Talking Heads) Jeff Tweedy - a very sick mr Tweedy cancelled his book signing earlier that day but pulled himself together to play a 90min set. He was down to last pair Iron Maiden undies. Chatted a lot between songs. Super funny. Poked fun at the VIP people up front for sitting. “Their wallets were heavy” ;) Several songs from his new album WARM. Guaranteed “my wife doesn’t st like this one so I changed the lyrics..” :) was the standout for the new ones. He played a song he wrote for Mavis while noting considering how bad he felt he would probably not be able to come back out to join them. Name escapes me now.. Setlist included: Guaranteed, New Madrid, I am trying to break your heart, California Stars, Passenger side, I’m the man who love you, Heavy Metal Drummer, Let’s go rain, Jesus Etc., I know what it’s like, You are not alone?? (written for Mavis) ended on Misunderstood
