Got my vinyl set, today --- looks good. Looking forward to digging into this weekend.

Why did you have to ruin this thread by mentioning them???? Ugh. (just kidding - kind of)

What's up with the Where's Wilco (Waldo motif) in Chicago - October 9th, 2022 ad on Nugs?

When this thread started - my wife was pregnant with with our oldest kid - of course I stated, bring the kid back in 09. The below was taken in 2010 - the kid would have been 9 months old. Pretty sure this was his first Wilco show. July 10, 2010 - South Bend Show (with Yo La Tengo) - A great show. Kid slept through most of it and now he is a teenager.... The person with the t-shirt couldn't stop laughing when we crossed each other's path. My wife happen to send me this pic this morning.

How was the show? I was out of town last week -- definitely would have hit one the shows, if I was in town.

My wife will be catching this show this coming Friday in Chicago with some friends -- it's been on the books forever, it seems. Glad it finally happening.

Looking forward to the show.

Margo was the 'artist at large' at the Sacred Rose fest --- she sat in on a few when Jeff and Nels were playing in Phil's band - but not on U.S. Blues.

Well, that stinks all around ---- especially if it is coming from management. The band has had a record in the can for while and nothing yet ----- perhaps management should focus on getting their client's actual studio recordings out in a timely manner and less on who tapes a show and the few hundred who actually takes the time to deal with torrents and downloads it.

It nice to see them still playing US Blues after the Sacred Rose debut -- who would have thought that 20 years ago??? Still not buying that Jeff can steal somebody's wife, though.

There you go -- Now I do remember reading that. Wonder who is driving the new 'no taping policy' --- it's not like their record company can get a record physically out in a timely manner. They are not uploading shows on Nugs, too often. Perhaps the Roadcase people? I never believed that audience recorded shows hurt concert attendance - actually I always thought it helped to promote actual attendance. If I were Wilco - I would keep the taping policy unchanged - so at least their music can get out there in a timely manner for those who want to hear it.

Yeah - something official would be great. Be a shame if they totally got rid of it. It's not like they ever had an official taping section/area or anything --- so I guess they never had an official taping policy, other than - one could tape if they wanted to. (Maybe they did have an official taping policy and I missed it). I just know when my buddy asked Jeff for permission to tape a show at Lounge Ax in the 90's - he just covered his ears and tilted his head from side to side and walked away. From then on, we assumed that was official taping policy.

Did Wilco make the 'no taping policy', official?

Sounds like a great trip, chuckrh --- enjoy!

Ha! - been listening to the show this morning and didn't notice that.

Wish Wilco would start adding more shows.

Great shot of John.

Enjoyable show on Friday --- the only tune that didn't work for me was U.S. Blues -- it made me chuckle when Tweedy sang the 'steal your wife' line --- how can anyone believe that Jeff Tweedy would steal somebodies wife. 'Airline to Heaven' was great to hear. Nels, though tough to hear in the mix from time to time, added a lot. I though the highlight the band was Karl Denson -- even his singing on 'Shakedown Street' was great. We took off during 'New Speedway Boogie' to catch an Uber -- so I am bummed to have missed the Franklin's and Via Chicago. I figured they were going t

Sacred Rose Fest ---- Phil Lesh and Friends and others.

A buddy needed to unload two tickets, so I took it as a sign to head to the festival (I swore off festivals a long while ago) - looking forward to seeing the show. Should be an interesting one. Phil did put together a great band.

Awesome story - thanks for sharing. Dale was one of my favorites growing up, too (and I am a AL/White Sox fan). Still remember buying his rookie card in the early 80s. Dale was on every APBA or Strat-O-Matic team of mine. (card playing/dice games)

Last night went to a jazz show ---- ran into LouieB -- which was nice -- it's been a long, long while. Great Show, too. At Elastic Arts in Chicago:

Just received a used copy of Somewhere in Time on vinyl --- this was the last tape I bought from Iron Maiden before I went off to Grateful Dead land - I did buy a knock off tape of Seventh Sign at a flea market when it was it released ---- anyway it's been a long while since I listened to it - I forgot that "Deja-Vu" is a kick ass tune.

Was this the first time you were at Thalia Hall? The venue has turned into my favorite venue in Chicago. It's been a few years for me - actually it was a Sleep show - a few months before covid hit. A great venue to catch a Bob Mould show.

Guessing there are some Highland Parkers on the board - hopefully they are all safe.
