Last night, January 4, Jeff Tweedy launched his residency at Largo at the Coronet in Los Angeles. The run, billed as an intimate solo concert series, preceded the release of his latest triple album, Twilight Override. Whereas recent concerts have drawn extensively from the new arrival, Sunday’s show was a diverse assortment of material that spanned different eras of Tweedy’s career: pre-aughts Mermaid Avenue, Wilco, Loose Fur, Golden Smog, and a heavy pour of solo songs from across his personal discography. 

Sunday’s performance in the City of Angels was set into motion by a feature off Tweedy’s new LP, the set’s third disc to be exact. “This Is How It Ends” christened the onset of the residency kick-off, and was succeeded by a featured track off Loose Fur’s 2003 self-titled debut, “Laminated Cat.” Tweedy positioned the new number “Caught Up in the Past” next, before the spoken word entry of “Parking Lot,” “There’s a version of me that hangs out in parking lots/ In my brain or my subconscious/ Whatever…”

Continuing with his tour de aughts, Tweedy pulled the title track of Sky Blue Sky (Wilco’s first studio record to feature Nels Cline), before fetching “The Ruling Class” from his Loose Fur days with Glen Kotche and Sonic Youth’s Jim O’Rourke, and Golden Smog’s “Please Tell My Brother.” According to Setlist.FM, “Wedding Cake” represented a debut, one of the darkest tracks off the new LP, “My blood’s in the sink/ It’s not what you think/ I’ll be OK.” 

Next, Tweedy pulled out fan favorite “Impossible Germany,” before embracing the notion of love, aging, and fading dreams on “One by One.” The move functioned as a preview of the Solid Sound Festival’s impending 25th-anniversary concert of Mermaid Avenue, the album featuring lyrics by Woody Guthrie and set to music by Wilco and Billy Bragg. Before concluding the set, Tweedy added another feature of Twilight Override, “Stray Cats in Spain,” and set ender/Cousin’s favorite, “Evicted.” 

Upon his return for the evening’s encore, Tweedy brought with him sons, Spencer and Sammy, both heavily featured on their dad’s latest LP. The family band seized another from the Mermaid Avenue batch, on “California Stars.” After, they jumped to a present-day release on “Lou Reed Was My Babysitter,” and ultimately ended the night after Yankee Hotel Foxtrot sweet spot, “I’m The Man Who Loves You.” 

Tweedy’s residency ensues tonight. The concert is sold out. For more information, visit wilcoworld.net/shows.
