saw beck in august and it was just as boring as i'd expected. while he was once relevant, i knew he'd taken a turn for the worse (and http://www.lermanet.com/beck/ explains exactly why), but i never expected to see him just standing onstage, looking bored (or confused?), mindlessly droning thru half-assed (and sometimes half-performed) versions of his singles, while his (subpar) band did the bulk of his work for him.
but that's neat that wilco were there. at least some talent was under that roof last night.

When I wrote that, the date wasn't on wilcoworld -- now it is. Huh. They're listed on Ticketmaster and Livenation, too, so... could be interesting!
-
Uh oh. Does this mean no Wilco for Toronto night 2? (OK, clearly it does. Shit.)

That's actually Jeff. According to the linear notes Nels isn't on that one.--Mike
According to the credits, Nels did not play on "Patient". In fact, I distinctly remember him mentioning that when he introduced the song (the only Wilco song) on his podcast.Oh yeah! I need to reread the liners more often. I'm often surprised to see who played what on "A Ghost Is Born".

IS that what I'm referring to above as the 'marching robots' music?

I often read these comments saying that Nels overpowers SBS, "does every song need to end with a big Nels freakout" (particularly w/ "One Wing" being unleashed), and I just have to point out... there are really only 2 songs on SBS that end with a huge Nels solo (IG + SWTS). He does a very beautiful, tasteful solo in the middle of "Either Way", he does a solo that most people mistook for Jeff on YAMF, does another very sparse melody in "Patient With Me", and has a brief run in "Hate it Here" (which also has a Jeff solo). ...and that's it. Jeff does the solo on the title track, and the end of Walken is more of a collaborative effort. "Thanks I Get" had a (not very good, on the studio recording) Nels solo, and I think "Carried Away" has one but that's obviously overshadowed by the drum solo.
I actually found Nels quite restrained on SBS..I wonder if some people think of "Impossible Germany" AS the album. If anybody was being showcased, it was John! His basslines are just solid across the entire album.
-
what was that 'marching robots' type music that opened the 2006 shows (or at least the ones i saw)?
-
Start planning your trips, folks.
I'm delighted to see how many west coast Neil shows there are, not so thrilled about the opener.
-
Neil's bass player supposedly mentioned to somebody on the summer Europe tour that they might be playing Vancouver in the fall, so it looks like we may be in luck... I wasn't planning on seeing Wilco again this year since I was at all five residency shows, but THIS would be worth a cross-country trek for. Neil's sets on this tour have been insane.

this was also posted in one of the many threads as a correction to whats above:

(1) I have a tendency to voice things alternately too thick and too thin (harmonics screw with me). I think I struck the right balance here but trust your ear. (2) I flip back and forth as to whether the ghost notes (the ones in parentheses) actually exist so I'll let you decide. (3) Of course you should finger the entire G, Bm, and C chords (to the extent possible) but pick just the notes listed. (4) This is only the first two bars of the intro, there might be some subtle variations (especially with voicing) in later iterations. [G] Just climb a[Am]board The [D]tracks of a [D#dim7]train's arm [Em]In my fragile family [Bm]tree [Bb] [Am] And watch me float inches a[D]bove The [D#dim7]people under me D#dim7 can be played: e--2-- B--1-- G--2-- D--1-- A----- E----- And if you want to be cool, you'll then slide up to this chord (which is also a D#dim7) e--5-- B--4-- G--5-- D--4-- A----- E-----

sorry., i was thinking of the loose fur version only!

Man, I wish I could get this part down -- it makes the song.

Should be a slide, not a hammer-on.

The lyrics that come with the album (ahem) confirm 'life'.

I'm gonna stick this here too cuz I know how I hate coming across old threads w/ no resolution.. I gave this one a shot over here:

howdy folks, i gave the live version a shot over here:

please let me know what you think... (hey, my first tab for this site, i believe!)

Now that we have a confirmed source for the tuning, I figured I'd give it a try. It's a general version but I think it's fairly accurate if you can let your mind go beyond dashes and digits on a computer screen and just try to adopt that Tweedy shake to every note I've tabbed. I think there may be a little more going on in the chords of the verse, when he's even playing, so comments or fixes would be appreciated. Here's a start, at least...
"I'M THE MAN WHO LOVES YOU" by Wilco
This is based on any given live version circa 2003-2008.
This is Jeff's part only, tuned to Open E (low E B E G# B E high), with a capo at the 1st fret.
This is an often debated issue but supposedly Jeff has confirmed this tuning for the live versions.
This tab is written relative to the capo, so 3 is really the 4th fret on the guitar, if you ignore
the capo, but the 3rd fret if you consider the open strings 0.
I used this version as a bit of a visual guide for folks, to indicate timepoints in the tab
that are relative to a performance:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VO5xr9xrjjs
I also referenced the Residency night 4 FM broadcast.
I kind of cheaped out on the chords during the verse and chorus, so there's definitely room
to clean this up. Should be a good guide for the solo bits though!

F---------------------- he's basically just punctuating each note, this

3rd VERSE
The riff played during the last verse (instead of "writing this letter to you")
is something like this:

C--5------------------------------2---0-2-4-2-0-5--
F--5------------------------------2---0-2-4-2-0-5--
FINAL SOLO:
K, Jeff really digs into the vibrato bar on this one, I'll try to sort of guide it out
but it's a lot of feedback manipulation and general intended sloppiness, with not as
much consistency during performances as the first solo, so y'know.. just rock out.
3:07
F----------
C--8^^^^^-- just attack that note, pretty much same as the beginning of the middle solo
A----------
F----------
C----------
F----------
3:12
F--------0-2-3---------- just pick the shit out of these notes like in the first solo
C--0-2-3---------------- only with even more fury + attack
A---------------(0-2-3)-
F----------------------- repeat as necessary
C-----------------------
F-----------------------
3:16
F-------------------
C-------------------
A------------------- repeat
F--------10-12~~~---
C-------------------
F--10^12------------
then pretty much get crazy, stay around the 10th and 12th frets. i don't want this to be one of those
tabs that cops out and says "get crazy and just stay around the 10th and 12th frets", but that's what
i'm gonna do based on the variety of different things jeff does during different performances of the song.
so polish up that pitch shifter, treble booster, and vibrato bar and shake some shit up!
At the very end of the song he slides up the fretboard slowly while furiously tremolo picking
between these notes:
F--3---16--
C--2---15--
A----------
F----------
C----------
F----------
Any thoughts?

But HEY!!!! what happened to "the good part". that song gets stuck in my head so easily!!! Maybe soon enough we'll get some EP, or maybe some goodie that comes along with this dvd that will have all these songs on it, that'd we wonderful.
It's on the "War on War" single.
-
I'm gonna bump this topic to hopefully open up some more discussion on the D tunings quoted by Tweedy (and to point out that in another thread, Tweedy was cited as using open E capo 1 for "Man Who Loves You", which is probably for the live version, w/ open D minor for the LP version?).
Obviously Kamera, Radio Cure, and Pot Kettle Black are in "D" tunings -- does anyone have concrete reasons to apply a specific tuning to any of these? Is the F# an obvious burden on any of these, making it clearly DADAAD, or do any of them clearly need the F#, making it likely open D (DADF#AD) ?
-
he was doing a 'walking' (well i guess 'running') motion with his fingers as he sang the line, and looked pretty amused/disgusted as he sang that entire verse.
he acted 'hate it here' out a lot, too!
-
When I was able to talk to Jeff at the 2007 Living Room Show, he told me that the tuning he uses was EBEG#BE with the capo on the first fret.
FINALLY! It's clearly not in standard when played w/ Wilco, nice to have this confirmation. Considering they play it EVERY SINGLE NIGHT, it shouldn't be too hard for this to get properly tabbed.. (I suppose I did just hear it 5 nights in a row, but the Residency Sickness is still lingering in my head and might impair my aural judgment...)
Thanks for posting solid info from a legitimate source.

caught em in seattle, LOVE that they're a quartet again. new dude fucking tears. he soars. he chars. etc.
their encore was "offend maggie" (instrumental) > "holy night fever" > "my purple past" so i guess they must be changing their sets on this tour? i was sad to miss 'snoopy waves'.
