Happy 2/11

oof - the below is pretty bad Not sure what it even is

That's cool that the archive has some Tupelo shows.

Looks like Jeff had time for karaoke. Ha! Good on 'em Relix - karaoke with “El Jefe."

Just realized the last 10 or so posts in this thread are death posts -- starting with Phil's. Sad, sad, sad. Going through Weir tributes and such - Bob Weir gave a great shout out to Wilco in his What's In My Bag? from Amoeba https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1eFORZUush8

Yeah - a tough, tough one. I didn't realize he was going through treatment and such. Since 1989, I would at least hit one show every 2 years. None in 2025 for me, so I was looking forward to this year. At least we have all the music he left behind.

Ha! Yep.

It's great that he is performing Amar Bharati (this show and the To La Tengo one) -- one of my favorite tunes on his latest. Was hoping that he would play it in Madison.

I felt the complete opposite regarding Jeff in Madison. Thought he seemed totally engaged - I haven't seen him perform in a while and thought his voice sounded better than ever. No signs of winding down for me.

Jeff Tweedy in Madison, Wi. Woot-woot. It's been a long while.

Last Night - Tortoise with the Chicago Philharmonic at The Auditorium, Chicago, IL Ran into LouieB - which was a hoot/nice to catch up. Great Show.

My wife is heading to the show, tonight - too. Should be a good one.

Listening via Spotify -- enjoyable. Will be getting the vinyl. Also, just bought a ticket for the November 21st show in Madison -- last time I saw Jeff Tweedy in Madison was in 2005 -- the November 5th show - what a hoot that show was. 20 years ago - seems like 8,000 lifetimes ago.....

Saw them when they past through Chicago a couple of weeks a ago - a great show. Seem to have lost the heavy industrial feel of the previously shows I have seen (91 and 2008) - but a great show none the less. Enjoy!

O crap - sorry I forgot that. Where you rooting for Spain - just curious. I still get all mixed up when it comes to the UK -- it bugs my English friends in my village to no end.

Also congrats on the "Lionesses"

That's awesome.

I am guessing the Who and the Kinks (and other British bands) did the same thing during the 60's. Could be wrong though.

The Stones did the same during the 60s. It is interesting that record companies did that. Anyone know the reasoning?

I went to Night 3 at the United Center --- a nice time. First time since 98 seeing them play indoors. The stage lights were great. Sounded good, too.

I read Callait's Rumours book a while ago --- I thought it was ok - he had some great in-studio content. His book about Tusk (Get Tusked: The Inside Story of Fleetwood Mac's Most Anticipated Album) - really fits the 'glorifying his excesses and sexual conquests'. If you thought his Rumours book was bad - definitely skip the Tusk book.

Bah - us heads have been dealing with shorts and kilts (not to mention - pink guitars and fake snakes) for many decades. At a Halloween 2015 show, JRAD poked fun of Weir's 80's attire: (sorry for the digression - back Wilco)

Hoping to catch Sinners this weekend. Though the 5 yards of mulch just delivered may put it off. Just read that Buddy Guy has a role - the NY Times has a great piece with Buddy, regarding Sinners.

Not yet --- Middle of season 2. Really great -- but man it is tough to follow at times. Just keeping all the characters straight and such. Really, really cool show.

Last night we finished up Adolescence on Netflix -- e-gads. A great four episodes. I watched the show with my 15 year old son -- it was his idea to watch it. After the first episode, I told him please don't murder anyone --- I guess I assumed it was already understood, but I just want to make it clear. I have never been on any social media (other than this board and another board, I guess) -- so it is somewhat foreign to me. Honestly, I just don't get the point of it. The show definitely brought out good conversations with him, myself, and his mother
