What Wilco Song Should the Jeff Tweedy band play?
DiamondClaw replied to nalafej's topic in Just A Fan
Just my opinion of course, but if this is the lineup they're going with, I would move Liam to lead guitar (and keyboards) and have anyone else cover bass (Sima, Macie, heck even Sammy). I know there aren't any Nels/Impossible Germany style workouts in these sets, but lead guitar is still more important for a good Tweedy band show. -
What Wilco Song Should the Jeff Tweedy band play?
DiamondClaw replied to nalafej's topic in Just A Fan
I'm happy Jeff gets to play with this group of friends and family he's comfortable with, but I'm disappointed Jim Elkington isn't joining them. He's a phenomenal guitarist and adds so much to the sound. -
Wilco — 10 August 2025, Chicago, IL (Salt Shed [Fairgrounds])
DiamondClaw replied to bböp's topic in After The Show
Great show as always. Thanks for the recap, Paul. A couple musings from my spot. I ended up, somewhat unintentionally, in the posh Premium section for this show. It was my first time up there, and it did offer a very cool vantage point of both the stage and the stunning Chicago skyline. Plus a bit of A/C which, hey, I did not complain about. It also came with the chattier casual fans, who were there for the previously mentioned summer night out social gathering. At this point, you have to just accept that and take it for what it is. The Salt Shed is an incredible venue, full of areas to explor -
First listen I like "Out in the Dark" and "Enough" the best. "One Tiny Flower" is a little too hazy and strummy. It does remind me a little of Cry All Day from Schmilco though, a song I like.

Looks like he's (finally) going to make the official announcement in a livestream tomorrow afternoon.

With all these tiny breadcrumbs and little info leaks, I'm surprised a full announcement isn't out already. A triple album though? Wowza.

Wow, there's a blast from the past!

Wilco — 30 May 2025, Buenos Aires, Argentina (C Art Media)
DiamondClaw replied to bböp's topic in After The Show
I watched several YouTube clips from this Argentina show and all I can say is wow! The enthusiasm from the audience is just incredible. The chants to the "Impossible Germany" riff and the "Either Way" solo were especially invigorating to hear like that. I can't believe Jeff resisted playing what would have been an epic "Spiders." -
I agree "Insignificance" may be the best overall, but "Simple Songs" is super underrated. Also, I've been alternating two of the instrumental ones, "Bad Timing" and "The Visitor," just about daily while I work. Gorgeous pieces of music.

Just wanted to say that listening to this podcast (which was great!) made me go back and revisit some of Jim O'Rourke's solo albums. My goodness, what absolutely amazing records those are.
-
That makes two of us! Plus three versions of "Muzzle of Bees," two versions each of "Panthers" and "Diamond Claw" (both personal favorites of mine), "The High Heat," something called "Improbable Germany," and a whole bunch more. This track list is a dream.

You called it, TCP! I just saw the tracklist and I am floored. https://ghostisborn.com/

Intriguing! Any reasons (that you can state publicly) for this prediction?

Me three! They come on at 11:15 tonight — I'm getting my coffee ready now.
