Missed alot of the thread, but stood, oh about 5 feet to the right of the
Ottawa crew... Tweedy was actually quite tolerant for the whole show...as
they were buggin' the shit out of him from the end of the set opener to the
end of the second encore... I felt bad for him. Heck, he was even trying
to be kind to them (he mentioned earlier in the show that they had
travelled quite a bit to get to the show, etc...) He looked a little
vulnerable up there to boot (as he really didn't seem to know what to do
about them). So, as Tom had mentioned, Jeff finally snapped and just
stopped the number as the threesome demanded quite loudly that they should
speed up "New Madrid", scolded them proper and launched into a blues tinged
slow burn rendition...Funny.
So, to address your last statement Bill...I agree. He was more than
justified...
