I loved him. I have to admit I didn't know anything about him before, but, after watching the Whiskey Bender doc you helped film on YouTube and listening to some of his stuff with the Chamber Strings, I"m a fan. You probably could have predicted that, though...his style of music is right up my alley.

Well said, my friend.

One of my faves!

HOLY CRAP! It'll be the highlight of my summer!

Well played!

Looking forward to it!

Every time I hear the end of "Until You Came Along" (Golden Smog) and the little guitar riff after "I was on my way home..." from "Sonny Feeling", I think of "In the Street" by Big Star for sure. I also think of Badfinger when I hear "Hate it Here", but that's probably a Beatles hook or two that they borrowed first. Regardless, all bands aforementioned are some of my faves, so no complaints here! "Casino Queen" too!

Amazing shots!

Well played!

Sounds cool! Gonna try to make this one.

So, how about that show, huh, guys? I'd love to see any pictures that anyone might have. I know there were lots of cameras going off in my vicinity.

Johnny, the posters were killer! Great to see you again, and hope that some of those shot surface sooner or later.

(with nothing but love for Paul!)

Hope it was a great one, concert buddy!

OK...I would have had an asthma attack right then and there with this four-song run.

Looked it up...here are the specs: VENUE CAPACITY 1500 (150 SEATED AND 100 STANDING ON BALCONY, 1250 STANDING) OR 1000 (150 SEATED AND 100 STANDING ON BALCONY, 750 SEATED)

That's seriously my favorite Wilco song. I request it for pretty much every show I attend, including the first night of the upcoming Chicago shows. It was great hearing Jeff do it solo recently at the Emanuel show, even after he has mentioned on many occasions how tough it is to play.

Strange but cool that my two favorite musicians share a birthday! Happy birthday, Jeff. I wish you many more years of health, happiness, creativity, and rocking out.

Yeah, I was admiring that too!

Check back earlier in this thread. A very good audience recording is already up...

Same. Like the first one a great deal. "Don't Let Him Waste Your Time" is a constant on my mixes.

I always knew Dingwalls was a small venue, but I just read online...capacity at Dingwalls is 487. Yikes. (On an unrelated note: Is there supposed to be an apostrophe in Dingwalls?!? It's like Schubas...it messes up the English teacher in me! )

Ha! It's funny to see the looks on our faces when those random girls came up! Too funny! Thanks for posting the pics, BCart!

Man, what a month to have my subscription run out! I checked two different Borders, two different Jewel stores, Walgreens, and CVS in the days since VC people have said they have found theirs and had no luck. Either they no longer carry Spin (most cases) or had the issue with Prince out (Jewel). FYI Chicagoans: Erin found it at the Book Cellar in Lincoln Square today here in Chicago. Go get it!
