Jeff Tweedy played a solo performance to open the new venue Brooklyn Made officially. Tweedy played an array of songs from Wilco’s vast discography, side projects, and select covers.

He started the show in the Bushwick neighborhood of Brooklyn with a live debut cover of Bob Dylan’s “Tonight I’ll Be Staying Here With You.” Tweedy then went on to play over 20 songs in a single set, throwing out classics including “I Am Trying to Break Your Heart,” “White Wooden Cross,” “New Madrid,” and more. Tweedy also played “Long Time Ago,” a track from his work with Golden Smog. Finally, he ended the set with “Jesus, Ect.”

Throughout the show, Tweedy threw some banter around, during which he announced that he had received his COVID booster shot. For the encore, Tweedy played five tracks and ended with “A Shot in the Arm.”
