Thurston delivered the goods better than in many a collaboration I've listened to, while Jandek was nowhere near as riveting as four years ago in the same room as a true leader.
Later that night I saw Baby Dee. Portland is definitely a town for weirdos.

played 3 collabs tunes. around 1 hr tot, verrrrry noisy set
glad they played loud, to keep the audience noise down to minimal.
1st was the best, IMO, just blistering TM and the J was playing good detuned/slack string/reverb rhythm gtr.
2nd was TM starting out nice, J had NO IDEA what to do, so just played single chords and notes. Finally he got back to what he did right on the 1st one.....
3rd was pretty good, I think Thurston figured out what J was wanting and or capable of doing and set him up for good space for J to do his (same sort of)thing inside of.
Saw J outside and also the next day downtown. PDX is a great town, enjoyed some wonderful cuban and vietnamese foods.
