Loved the show. My first one. So when are you coming to New Mexico? Several of us flew out to SF just to see you. Next time we should pool our money and fly you to see us (note that we don’t sing as well).

You have written and sung a variety of *very* good songs. Here are a few of my favorites that spring to mind: “Re Your Brains”, “The Madelbrot Set”, “I Feel Fantastic”, (that’s the one I’m going to listen to right now), “Creepy Doll”, “Skullcrusher Mountain”, and all the ones that Steve Eley or Mur Lafferty have played on their podcasts.

Furry cows moo and decompress.

Also, I’m calling a request for a studio take of the updated version for “The Aftermath”, who else is with me?

You are fucking awesome, dude! Keep up the amazing work.

I’m sure you’ve gathered – from the uproarious applause at the show and reassuring comments here – that you never lost the audience, but it still sucks to feel out of sync. Good on you for coming back strong, black hole and all… no small feat.

Thanks again for a fantastic show, and come back soon! SF hearts you.

I said to my buddy as we were driving home (you may remember him, he was the one who kept screaming “FIRST OF MAYYY!!!”) that I thought it was great that you were able to laugh at yourself and still keep the show rolling.

We had a lot of fun seeing you guys play last night.

Best,

Steve

Seriously, it was one of THE most entertaining shows I’ve ever gone to, Paul and Storm were hilarious, you were thoroughly engaging on every level, the whole package was just STELLAR.

I’ve already told everybody I know to be sure to go see you whenever you perform in their respective areas.

Be proud.

The occasional train wreck is all part of the fun, and in this case just made the comeback all the better.

Hey, his initials are U.S.

Um. Cool.

Interestingly, the list of artist interviews has two spaces for “Coming Soon”. I wonder if our JoCo has been holding out on us?

@Jason Scott: Thanks for linking my kids’ video! (Miss Pedantic Pants notes that we’re a community choir rather than a school choir. ) JC twittered the video a few days ago and gave the group a nice shout-out at last night’s show saying, “That’s currently my favorite cover version of any of my songs.”

I will be posting full audio of the show – probably tomorrow. (The kids squealed with delight when they heard the recording today!)

I’m glad the combination of my sister and Portal introduced me to your music.

Also, the cover of “Birdhouse in Your Soul” was unexpected and extremely pleasing. Thank you, sir, for a great show.

Amen. It was especially appropriate in a show book-ended by “Big Bad World One” (about not trying) and “A Talk With George” (about damn well trying). The moment in the THIRD pass at “The Presidents” where Jonathan *almost* wiped out again, recovered just in time, and went on to ecstatic applause was, if you’ll pardon the emotion, thrilling and inspiring. The closest comparison I can make is of watching a pro surfer snatch victory from the jaws of FAIL.

The successful conclusion of “The Presidents” late in the show was, honestly, one of the most artistically vulnerable, honest and satisfying moments I have had in decades of watching live music. We were all pulling so hard for him to make it, and when he did, it was beautiful. That was a golden moment and I’m grateful for it.

Oh, and by-the-way the show was such a great time! I brought some newcomers with me and they loved it as well. More new fans!

Keep on strummin’

My wife is tired of listening to me go on and on about how great the show was! The last number, Soft Rocked By Me, bringing in some James Taylor, Eagles, Alanis Morissette, and The Beatles was wonderful. I only wished it could have lasted a longer.

Looking forward to your next visit.

JoCo FTW!!

Yesterday’s concert was awesome! You and Paul&Storm did an amazing job for three hours and the few of us who went had a great time.

On the flip side, I made some purchases after the concert and I didn’t get my credit card back. By any chance do you guys still have it and possibly be able to mail it to me? If not, let me know so I can cancel it.

Thanks for the great show and can’t wait until you stop by SF again with a brand new setlist.

Of course the audience was supportive! We all love you and think you’re the best. And the update to “The Presidents” was well worth the wait.

Can’t wait to catch you in concert again.

It’s called a Zendrum.

Don’t get yourself down too much- everyone there had a great time in spite (or perhaps because) of it.

Also, the new Prez. lyrics will probably going to be outdated in a few days. Does that mean another re-write? Hm…

I snuck in my canon powershot to shoot some video and caught your second run through of the song. Actually I have the first one too, but my initial reaction was to *not* post it.

Loved the show last night. So glad Tom (@acedtect) introduced me to you!

Jade and Colleen did not bring any yummy PB cookies, because that would have been wrong. Thanks for not sharing them, I’m sure they would have been terrible

Setlist posted in show thread.

Oh, and totally off the subject, I’ve been wondering this for a while, but was reminded of it by the latest Spiff video: what’s with the last verse of the recorded version of “Shop-Vac”? Why does it sound like there’s radio interference — was that intentional, and if so, how come? Is there a joke I’m missing?

Besides, if you are still filming your DVD it’s great for the blooper reel. That’s all I ever watch on DVDs anyway.

I don’t know, some people would flip out over hearing their song on the radio, but I would die hearing it come earnestly out of school choruses.

Audiences never care about perfect performance (only music critics do that). Live music is about the audience and performer having a collective good time: if the band is having fun, the crowd will too.

Last night was a fantastic show, hairy legs and all.
