Jeff - Listening to your music and seeing you onstage always makes me feel such joy when things can be rough. I do wish there was something we could do to return the favor for you now. Thinking of you and your family and looking forward to seeing you soon.

Sincerely,

Ashley

I think it may be this list they were referencing... not bad!

Some celebs were in the audience I guess...

Wow - Those photos are fantastic. Thank you for sharing... mine were from up in the balcony and really grainy. I made a vacation of the trip from DC and took along my sister for the show. Loved Toronto and surrounding areas. Jeff's comments about politeness up there are so true. I really never heard anyone beeping their horns downtown and we kept commenting how quiet it was despite the crowds.

As for the show. I loved the new song and the way Walken is shaping up. First time to hear Impossible Germany and I thought it was sort of akward sounding or something.

I was expecting the sound at Massey Hall to be amazing (I think I read that somewhere) but thought at least from the balcony it was a little muddled? Loud? I donno.

And although I can usually find the humor in Jeff's bantor I was actually sad after this show b/c of it. Maybe it is because I traveled so far and was trying to introduce my sister to it. I've just seen so many other shows where he seems so thrilled to be with us.

The energy was low but the seats and slow song opener and dark room as others have commented really influenced that.

Whoever suggested eating b'fats at Frans - thanks. It was super yummy!

I haven't called this the best Wilco show I've seen, because I also was at the 6/09/04 show at the 9:30 Club - and that was a great, great show. Jeff running onstage, looking happy to be alive, the cracks about Reagan's funeral, hearing the new line-up live for the first time (for me). It was incredible.

 

The Charlottesville show Sunday night is right up there, though. It's a really hard call which was better, so I won't make it. I'm glad to have been at both.

I feel EXACTLY the same way on this.. I've seen ten Wilco shows and these two were my top two. I could have stayed at the Charlottesville show for maybe 12 straight hours.. the weather and sound and crowd came together so perfectly. I am still glowing.
