Red at Austin City Limits Festival
So, screen-recording any of the live-streaming music from the ACL Festival was/is strictly prohibited, which I discovered as Jesse was taking the stage today in Austin 😒 So I went janky old school, streamed his set on one phone while holding up another phone, and recording it that way.
Janky is the operative word here 😅 I was literally using both hands to hold the recording phone, for an hour, so there are definitely some wobbles. I won't be putting any of this up on my YouTube channel, because it's too wobbly, and because I'm still kinda stinging from last year's copyright strike I got for putting up his Farm Aid set (which, incidentally, is why I'm not a fan of Nugs 😠).
But I did want to get at least this much up for you guys. This was about 11 minutes into his hour-long set. This is where he says he's glad to be back in Talarico country, and AFAIK, this is the only time Jesse has ever mentioned a current politician by name, in a favorable light. The crowd very much appreciates it.
They then go into the song Red.
If I can, I'll get a couple more songs up here for you guys - the slower tempo Whirlwind was a standout, IMHO - but it's gonna be a crazy few days for me, so it might take me a day or two 🙂
