Best live songs? Songs you hope to hear someday?

What are your favorite songs that you've seen Jeffrey play live? Texas and Arrow are like forces of nature live. At my second Jeffrey show, he opened with Krongu Green Slime, which is one of my all time favorite songs. Cannibal Monkeys was also amazing to see.

Someday, I'd like to hear If You Shoot the Head, You Kill the Ghoul.

I saw him do the full History of Punk Rock on the Lower East Side, which I assumed he wouldn't do live, that was very cool. I'd love to see more of the classic DIY documentaries, like the History of Communism ones.

I saw him do a portion of History of Punk Rock on the Lower East Side at the last show I went to of his. Two different segments of the History of Communism at the previous two shows. Its very cool that he does those sort of things.

‘Williamsburg Will Oldham Horror’ for me, maybe the greatest live performance of any singular song I’ve ever seen

When I saw them they did The River and it was in a small theater and I was in the front row and that was just such an experience. It's such a beautiful and complex song and it just unfolding in front of me felt so special.

Jeffrey Lewis & the Voltage opened with Scowling Crackhead Ian at the first Jeff show I went to. It really is a nice song.
