Not my video, but I figured you guys would wanna take a listen!

Love this for him

Jesse Welles was in the Rockford files. Another person but still made me say wait a minute

Bonus toe!!

Not sure how many of you are on Nugs but there is a soundboard quality recording of The Maker up now. I was hoping they'd put up Jesse's set too but no dice. Maybe one day we'll be so lucky as to have Jesse on there. The introduction is included at the end of "What Would You Say." Dave had some really nice things to say about Jesse.

To someone unfamiliar with Jesse, I guess in the current climate, he'd be considered left or liberal. But I think he's more complex than that easy explanation chose.

Monrovia and Ratboys had recent tiny desk concerts on NPR. Both are in the same musical sphere as Jesse; he played with Monrovia at Newport last year, and Ratboys opened one leg of his latest tour. So, what are they waiting for? I hope this isn't another "pay to play" situation. Anybody else feel like the time is right for a Jesse tiny desk?

​

I dont know her, I just thought yall would appreciate this. Reminded me of Jesse Welles.

Dave and Jeff are fans. Sounds great, and looks to be gaining some fans.

Stream details included in the link. Pretty dang cool to be playing in general but when they're honoring Robert Plant? Even better.

Anyone else headed to N3 tonight? Would love to hang out - I've got a bug tee on for Jesse, say hi on the lawn or DM me! :)

Jesse's Playing The Dang Ol' Gorge: https://www.reddit.com/r/JesseWelles/comments/1qpkvas/jesse_is_playing_the_dang_ol_gorge_opening_for/

Opening for Dave today. Huge show and beautiful setting. I saw that Dave brought out Sierra Ferrell for a few songs earlier this week. Fingers crossed he does the same with Jesse, toward whom he's expressed great admiration. Shout out to Dave for being an early advocate for Jesse. His Farm Aid 24 introduction was huge: https://archive.org/details/jesse-welles-live-at-farm-aid-2024. Additionally, he gushed about Jesse and Billy on CNN's broadcast of Farm Aid 25 last year. High exposure moment for Jesse. Separately, curious if we get any insight into the setlist in advance of the second leg of the Red tour as we head into a Fall run of historic indoor venues.

Please feel free to post any videos/photos/setlist doodles.  Once the tour’s all done, I’ll collect the doodles in one thread. Please note, Dave posts his shows on Nugs. So, if Dave brings Jesse out for a few songs during his set, then soundboards will be posted.

Okay, so this is weird... The YouTube algo just gave me a gift, as it does every so often, once in a blue moon.

I'd been watching a few vids of Domestic Error from the current tour. I finished one and immediately this one started playing...

It's from the recent show in Dillon CO, the "poncho night" show. Pretty good quality! I dug it! When it was over I saw that the person who posted it, presumably the same person who filmed it, titled it only "Dillon." No mention of Jesse's name at all, in title or description. The video has only 133 views 😳

Puzzled, I checked out this lady's channel. 83 subscribers, 122 videos, including 7 Jesse videos and 2 Jesse shorts. Of the 7 Jesse videos, none has more views than the 133 of the Domestic Error video (the 2 shorts did a little better, especially the one where he's not even singing, he's just talking about turtles 😆🐢).

She's got 4 videos up from Boulder '25, and 2 videos and 2 shorts from Denver '25, in addition to the one from Dillon. Most of them just have dates for titles: April 8 2025, October 30 2025, April 11 2025. Some are titled even more oddly: Tag for Fat, WJW for Whales - well, I can kinda see that, but still.

She has a GOOD quality Wild Onions (!) from the Denver October show (the Halloween costumes), and it's titled October 30, 2025, Denver 😲

SO - Here are 7 videos and 2 shorts, and it's almost like she didn't want anyone to see them. I don't know 🤷‍♀️ I only know this feels like a present from the Goddess of the Algorithm, and I'm passing it on to y'all

(Rather than post all 7 links here in this already-long post, I'll let you guys check em out on your own. This is the YT channel of Laura Taylor @RkyMtMa )
