Last Saturday, Jeff Tweedy picked up the European leg of his ongoing solo tour in support of Twilight Override, the new triple album released in late September. During his most recent live appearance on Wednesday, Feb. 11, the musician, known for formidable lyrical truth-telling, took a different approach by covering Queen\u2019s curvature-calling \u201cFat Bottomed Girls\u201d for the first time.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Prior to the arrival of last night\u2019s debut, which came during Tweedy\u2019s four-song encore, the songwriter and guitarist touched pieces plucked off four of his solo albums, including Warm (2018), Warmer (2019), Love Is the King (2020), and his latest, Twilight Override. Also mixed into the 21-song main frame were tracks from his Tweedy family band\u2019s 2014 delivery, Sukierae: \u201cWorld Away,\u201d \u201cLow Key,\u201d \u201cFlowering,\u201d and \u201cDiamond Light, Pt. 1.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The concert\u2019s encore started with his latest delivery\u2019s title track ahead of \u201cFamily Ghost.\u201d Ultimately, it was the group\u2019s take on Queen\u2019s \u201cFat Bottomed Girls\u201d that stole the show. Like the original, Tweedy and his kin-represented collaborators went with the traditional instrumentless revival of the opening lines: \u201cAre you gonna take me home tonight?\/ Oh, down beside that red firelight\/ Are you gonna let it all hang out?\/ Fat bottomed girls\/ You make the rockin\u2019 world go \u2019round,\u201d met with Tweedy\u2019s guitar push into the composition.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Tweedy was all smiles while launching into the rock classic lyrically led by Sima Cunningham. In addition to the concert\u2019s namesake, he was also joined on stage by his sons Spencer and Sammy, as well as participants in Twilight Override and subsequent touring members James Elkington, Macie Stewart, and Liam Kazar.<\/p>\n
