Quite a trifecta there (sadly followed by *both* Cali and Jesus…d’oh!) I know a couple of people who were VERY excited by the acoustic Cold Slope>King Of You, which I imagine was interesting to hear. And it’s nice to see Acuff-Rose on the list again. I remember when he used to close a great many solo shows with that one at the edge of the stage, sans PA. Miss those days.

Thanks for the recap in my stead. Sounds like an interesting one. It feels weird to not be out there, though I must say I don't miss not experiencing the awkwardness created by "I'll Fight" guy. Fwiw, that new song with the repeated "You're in love again" is called Now And Then, at least according to the good folks at Wilcoworld. Jeff played it a few times on the solo tour he did in October. Interesting about having the actual setlist that he was executing and that he did an actual encore, although it's nice that Sammy and Spencer sang with their dad on AROAW. Wonder if they'll join on at leas

I've got to catch a flight home pretty soon, so I won't get a chance to sit down and write much about this one until I get back, but I figure I'll at least just start the thread with a few words and the setlist and then circle back. But suffice it to say, as one friend actually did during the show tonight — and which Jeff apparently overheard — this was a Wilco run that we didn't want to end. You mean the band can't just keep traveling around to cool cities playing multi-night, multi-set, no-repeat shows with 30-plus songs all the time? Well, that's not fair... But as with any goo

I doubt that the weather conditions had anything to do with the setlist Wilco put forth on the middle night of its "Winterlude On The Road" stint in St. Paul, but Mother Nature played much nicer to those of us waiting outside for an extended period of time for the doors to open. Certainly veterans of upper Midwest winters would have hardly batted an eye. But whatever your tolerance level for cold and snow/ice, this Saturday night special by Jeff and Co. was almost guaranteed to send you home with some warm rock 'n' roll feelings in your heart (and perhaps also a little sweat on your brow).

Haha, point taken. Thanks for checking out these inane ramblings, whenever you do so. I will admit it was much balmier (read: only about actual freezing) on Night 2 versus Night 1. But I was only going by Jeff's comment that it was like "a thousand below zero." Well, that and my numb toes...

For the final stop on this "Winterlude On The Road" series, the Wilco Express rolled into the familiar confines of the Palace Theatre on a frigid mid-December weekend in the Twin Cities (is there any other kind?) and rolled out the first part of what figures to be another epic trilogy of no-repeat, wide-ranging shows that have characterized this brief but fruitful tour. As always, it will be interesting to find out what the next two night have in store. Unlike the previous two stops in Austin and Tulsa, Jeff and his bandmates have brought a Winterlude-esque experience to the Palac

I'll have that TA now... Or maybe just a cuppa (TeA) to ward off the chill of Minnesota?

That makes more sense. Thanks for the clarification!

Well, Wilco Wednesday certainly didn't disappoint. That was the kind of barnburner of a show we hoped for when Wilco announced that it would play two nights at the storied Cain's Ballroom as part of this brief "Winterlude On The Road" tour, and while Night 1 was a fine performance, Night 2 really saw a little of everything — from wild jams and wonky notes to reinvented tunes and fan favorites, from a rowdy audience member apparently getting removed but ultimately being allowed back in to an adorable young fan in the front row literally receiving the microphone off of Jeff's stand from the fron

Coming off a remarkable kickoff to this brief "Winterlude On The Road" tour in Austin last week, in which Wilco performed 98 different songs over the course of three shows, it seemed only natural to wonder what — other than the venue and the days of the week — would be different when the scene shifted to another favorite old stomping ground: Cain's Ballroom. Would the band play anything that it hadn't in Austin? Which songs wouldn't make the cut, given the two-night run in Tulsa (versus three in Austin)? Would the energy from the audience be the same? Would Jeff put on a jacket again? You know

Yet again, I had to Google to understand what you were talking about. To quote the esteemed Scott McOi, I'm not bitter. #NotAtAll #JustALot

Anyone else notice that April 26th date as part of the Moon Crush Pink Moon weekend in Florida has disappeared from both Wilcoworld and the Topeka sites and seems like it might get scrapped? When you Google "Wilco April 26 Moon Crush," this is the first thing that comes up. It's a link to Wilcoworld, but it goes to a dead page: 26 April 2025 | Miramar Beach, FL | Moon Crush Pink Moon Apr 26, 2025 — Wilco - Tour - going to cancel 12/2 ~ 26 April 2025 | Miramar Beach, FL | Moon Crush Pink Moon. This was the announced festival, as reported by Relix back in August.

Approximately 15 people will be counting on you!

I shall be in attendance and endeavour to scratch your proverbial itch as much much as possible, O Tatlock. Not sure if Jeff and Emmylou will wind up doing anything together — here's hoping — but one of Jeff's performances is already listed as "Tweedy Creek," so we can safely guess that there will be some interesting stuff to come out of the presumed collab between Jeff and Nickel Creek.
