Jeff Tweedy - I Gotta Feeling (a hilarious freestyle version of the Black Eyed Peas song)
This is incredible.
love Jeff Tweedy
I was there when Tweedy did this and it was anything but freestyle (though maybe that term’s a lot looser in definition than I am presuming). In fact, Tweedy said he practiced this song quite a bit to get it up to even this ramshackle (and surprisingly moving) version. As he says here “I really overestimated myself…or underestimated the Black Eyed Peas.” And later “Having spent some time with their material…they are evil geniuses.”
The bit where he deconstructs the song starting at 3:25 is still hilarious to me 48 hours later.
More observations of this night on my other blog.
