I took care of it, thanks for the setlist!

Thanks for all the recaps on this tour, Paul! I love how thoughtful these reports are.

Not as good as a bbop report but here’s an overview — https://m.inlander.com/spokane/concert-review-jeff-tweedy-show-nearly-devolves-into-disaster-despite-his-best-efforts/Content?oid=13075773

I watch this a few times a year. I completely agree. The six-piece does a great job capturing all the layers of that recording which has Jeff on a 12-string baritone acoustic, Jim O’Rourke on acoustic, Leroy plays bass on it. Jim, John and Mike all put down piano parts and the electric parts are Jeff in pure “SG/prunes/custard/and migraines” mode.

Oh man I completely forgot about that song. There are some rough patches on Sky Blue Sky and Wilco The Album that have been dunked upon here plenty and I don’t have much to say other than I agree (Shake it Off, Leave Me, What Light, You Never Know, You & I, Sonny Feeling). But the one I really don’t like is a B-side that eventually became a great song (it was re-written as Summer Teeth) and that is Tried and True, which has always been nails on a chalkboard to me.

Not quite what you are looking for but the audio for these are available on the Wilco Live Archive in the Alpha Romeo Tango boxset compliation.

I’m pretty sure that is a Martin with the headstock logo worn off. Those vintage nylon Martins are a real treat to play.

A new Wilco song called "All Lives, You Say?" is available for immediate download with a charitable contribution. Proceeds will go to the Southern Poverty Law Center, in the memory of Jeff Tweedy's father, Robert L. Tweedy (1933-2017). "My dad was named after a Civil War general, and he voted for Barack Obama twice. He used to say 'If you know better, you can do better.' America - we know better. We can do better." - Jeff Tweedy https://wilcohq.bandcamp.com

I think it's a Gibson ES-175 (https://loviesguitars.com/product/1979-gibson-es-175-natural/). Richard Thompson played one in the early days of Fairport Convention. I really like the newish arrangement of that as well. The xylophone is a nice touch.

I think this arrangement is becoming my preferred version.

Paul is my favorite member of the Wilcos.

Paul, did it seem to you like Nels' had a monitor go out on Art of Almost too? I can't remember if we talked about this after the show, but in the section right after Glenn's drum roll that transitions into one his signature face-melting solos it seemed like he was struggling with a few of his pedals. Wilco is the first LOUD rock band I've seen at the Clay Center. I was innocently thinking coming in "oh Tedeschi Trucks sounded great here, I bet Wilco will too." Not taking into account just how loud something like say "You Satellite" is. From my perspective, Star Wars sounded great, and t

I grew up in Charleston and I went to high school about two blocks away from the site where Wilco played last night. And I spent the first three years of high school watching the construction of this Theater/Science Museum. I never would have imagined that the band I was growing further and further obsessed with as YHF and Summerteeth became glued into my Mazda's CD player would one day be playing there. And we've gotten two shows in four months! All right enough of me, Setlist time (feel free to chip in with corrections, Paul, I'm going to try to do it from memory.) EKG (intro music play

I told Paul he could take a night off tonight, since the Wilcos played in my hometown for the first time in 21 years. For the unaware, Mountain Stage is a public radio program that broadcasts from the Capitol complex of my home state of West Virginia. Four or five acts do short sets that are edited later for broadcast. Wilco headlined and did about a 35 minute acoustic set much like their show ending hootenannies. Here's what we got. 1.) Misunderstood (Mike was on acoustic, John 12-string. Jeff and John did harmonies on the eight nothings.) 2.) Joke Explained (Mike played a multi-color

From everything I've read, Tweedy used SG's for almost all of his electric parts on AGIB. I'll have to dig through my stuff to see if I can find this long magazine feature with Jeff from 2004 that detailed the Ghost guitar sound. --Mike

This old thread is being closed in favor of the new RTT thread, titled "Today".

I think the worst band name I've ever heard is Barabbas. Their gimmick was shouting to the audience "who do you want?" and the audience shouting back "Barabbas!" It's immortalized in 24 Hour Party People. --Mike.

I think Coomer said that they were going to go with that name but their wives/girlfriends hated it. So much of my knowledge of the Wilcos are things from the Kot book or old articles I half remember reading.

Something was wrong with one Jeff's Jazzmasters and he threw it towards the amp of the song.

Yes, JP was part of the stage crew in the early years of the band and would occasionally join in with an extra guitar or tambourine during live shows.

Another great A Hard Day's Night moment is when John sings "I love you so" on I'll Be Back. The "one sweet dream" part of You Never Give Me Your Money is perfect as is the "out of college, money spent." That song showcases everything I love about McCartney. Awesome, it's one of my favorite shirts

Paul's bass in the intro for Dear Prudence. The transition from the end of Paul's middle part of A Day in the Life to John's last verses. Particularly the end at 3:16-3:19. The mellotron on Strawberry Fields. The backwards guitar solo on I'm Only Sleeping (listen to a re-created solo before the tape was run backwards here: http://www.kristiangoddard.net/Blog/Beatles_Playground.htm).
