NB: You can get $2 off the cost of tonight's Jay Gonzalez livestream by using the code JaysNight29. I assume that applies only to newly purchased tickets.

Pre show music courtesy of Badfinger. A good start

Strange days indeed. John Lennon to open.

Drinking from his "chalice".

Now a couple of originals starting w/ Louisa for his abuela.

Hat tip to son Billy

Jay going all experimental like, drawing music. Really. Trust me.

Jay taking on the challenge of his "bittersuite". This should be pretty awesome.

Oh, btw, that drawing stuff was pretty cool.

Jay going nuclear, breaking out the kazoo!!

Bittersuite was excellent!

Now we're on to Squeeze. "Tempted"

Wow. Digging deep for Ronnie Laine's "Poacher." On ukelele. Fantastic.

New song which may or may not be called "I want to hold you"

Followed by 2 more new ones. Lovin' these new ones, very much looking forward to the album.

"I've never felt bad about feeling good." Spooner Oldham said it, Jay's singin' it.

Guitar/keytar combo. Insane. Impressive as hell. And it sounds great.

Bossa Nova. Of course. Why not. "Brazilian Sugar." Yeah it's about what you think it's about. Teetering on an R rating

Now he's playing an instrument I've literally never heard of, a puerto rican Cuattro. Just amazing.

I can't even. Video duet w/ Katey on Sounds of Silence. Wondeful. Hysterical. Magical. You have to see/hear it to believe it.

Red Kross. Todd. The hits just keep on coming.

"The medley portion of the program. Feel free to leave if you want to beat the traffic."

"I have trust issues."

"American Tune". Damn. Wow.

Lou Reed...Warren Zevon...and more. Cat has a very deep bag of tricks and it sounds so so good.

"Cruel to be Kind". Great closer. Great show.

I was thinking we'd get an hour or so with lots of covers and maybe a few originals sprinkled in.

We got old originals. We got new originals. We got a wide range of fantastic covers. We got two hours. He played more instruments than DBT usually even has on stage at a Rock Show. (Anybody got an instrument count?)

I'd hoped for all of Bitter Suite never expecting we'd get all of it. But we got all of it. Then he went into Tempted by Squeeze. At some point during Tempted, I noticed that I was smiling. Just sitting in a room alone watching a computer and smiling.

It was cool to see Jay's personality. I'm used to seeing him on the side of the stage hiding from the spotlights shredding a guitar solo. It was nice to see just Jay.

And lots of respect to Jay before the show turning down Badfinger's Day After Day when he was ready to start, then changing his mind and turning it back up because he wanted to hear the rest of the song---because some songs you don't just turn off before they're done.

If he does another, I'm definitely in.

Jay's show was basically punk rock meets yacht rock meets jazz and latin standards meets experimental art.

What's not to love?

I've seen Cooley's two and this one and all three were different and wonderful in their own, individual ways. I would be happy to tune into many more from these two.

Jay played for a really long time, which given that the world is currently enjoying an unprecedented economic downturn and record levels of unemployment, was really appreciated.

In these harsh circumstances it never hurts to over-deliver and over-deliver he certainly did.

Last night Brian Fallon and Patterson Hood chatted and played some music. It's on youtube. Hopefully, this link works. If not, you can easily find it thru google.

Hey, is this legit? I've seen nothing about this anywhere.

As far as I can tell, yes. Pretty sure patterson posted to FB about it at some point.

No idea, and if it is I missed it, but I do note that the performance date is listed as June 6, 2030. Also, 20 ticket limit? I'm not concerned about it, but it just seems weird.

It already happened. ~65 minute set.
