I know what you're talking about, and I sometimes wonder if it's the music being made now or just the fact that no music can ever sound as good as it does when you're a kid, and the good music seems so, well, important. Perhaps as we get older and jaded it's just impossible for music to ever sound that good again -- or to be that important. Wow, that's a depressing thought.

 

Anyway, as an example, when I was 19, and "Being There" came out, it felt so vital and important to me in a way that I wonder if that exact same album if released today could have that same impact on me now over ten years later. I honestly couldn't tell you if 19-year-old me would have felt that same way about "Sky Blue Sky." Perhaps. 29-year-old me, though, really enjoys it, but not with that same fervor of which only a younger man is capable.

I think this is a great way to look at it!

Was an awesome show! The venue seemed perfect for AD, it was an old small dark wood dance hall, and had great acoustics. No more than 50 people there, and the crowd was very quiet and respectful, the entire atmosphere was perfect for the show! I was there with my special girl and it was just a great night

I didn't write down a setlist, but a few I remember them playing, in no real order:

Circles

Bluebirds Fall

Canyon Arrow

Feel You Now

Sun in California

Tuesday Morning?

(at least 5-6 others)

I'm not sure where to post this, but I was just wondering if anyone still had a link or had the movie itself on their hard drive of Wilco playing "I'm a Wheel" on Leno. I lost a bunch of files and was trying to find it today for old time's sake and realized it was no more =(

Many thanks to any help finding a copy

^^

There is something about this damn band. I love it.

I still can't believe there is no Mountain Bed. =(

But the DVD is still fantastic, I sat down last night and throughly enjoyed it =D

I keep my distance

Because she falls in love with everyone

Smoking grass and taking Christmas trees

She falls in love with me

I'm polite to her

I reached my soft hand out to her

I've known her for a very, very, long time

-venus stopped the train

It looks like preorders just shipped today, I got my tracking number from UPS =o

This song has been growing on me. The first playthrough I was kind of dissappointed, but it's been cycling through my playlist and now I can't help but sing along enjoy it. It's definitely a little bit different style for Wilco, but hey, AM -> Being There -> Summerteeth -> YHF -> AGIB... Wilco is constantly changing yet always having that wilco-ish sound. I love it @_@

I drove 14 hours to the Asheville concert last October, and it was the best hundreds of dollars I've spent in a while

Solo show at The Fillmore anyone?

updated with review

I've always wondered about the modern day application of the encore break. Is it just a planned rest period for the artists, to build to a killer end? Is it really an avenue of escape from a bad crowd? How do artists gauge how long to wait, how much applause is worthy? Has there ever been a band that was standing off the stage and said, "hmm, not loud enough, good night." ?

I was pondering this as I screamed at the top of my lungs for the black keys in san fran this past saturday, and it made me wonder @_@

I'll be at the San Fran one

set list:

encore:

strange desire > the flame

grown so ugly

the fillmore was absolutely amazing, it was open dance floor and my friend(capn_j) and i got there early and i was able to end up maybe ~8 feet from the stage, slightly left of center. the opening band was called "beaten awake" and was from the same town the black keys were from. they sounded like wilco+mmj+black keys, and they were decent, but from the first song the black keys were just amazing. all of the magic potion songs they played were at least 3-4x better and more intense than the record's versions. dan/pat were on fire and it was hottt-t-t-tt. it was my first time hearing them live and the intensity and raw energy of them live just blows away their sound on the albums. i had a blast and hope i have the priviledge of seeing them again

I'm going to see the black keys this saturday at the fillmore in san francisco' date=' and I was wondering if anyone had any tips for getting the most out of a fillmore show. Where to park, where to eat dinner, best time to get there...etc. It will be my first show there and I want to get the most out of it

 

 

Thanks![/quote']

No remember the mountain bed, but still looks awesome!

I have a good friend of mine who has been listening to Wilco since YHF, and one day he had me download one of their live shows, I didn't really take to it, but one day for whatever reason I was feeling down and put the playlist on random album, and it ended up on the Wilco set list. For whatever reason it just clicked, and eventually I started going through their albums in a kind of reverse order. AGIB -> YHF -> ST -> BT -> AM -> UT/Side Projects. I now own all of their albums, the dvd, loose fur, and the wilco book. I was fortunate enough to see them live in Asheville last fall, and I think it only deepened my appreciation of their music even more. I have about 35 live shows on my computer and Wilco is pretty much a staple of my daily musical journies...

just fyi - this is full band electric rig, not his solo set up

Ahh sorry about that, wasn't paying attention @_@

This is the shot from the Wilco Book of his 3 pedals, it doesn't look like much to me although I don't know much about guitar gear @_@ There was also commentary on this picture from Jeff Tweedy and Matt Zivich(their stage tech):

These three things control time. Mix will give you a mixture of dryness to delayed sound. Time of delay can be varied, from short to long. Feedback is the length of the time delay after the fact, until complete decay. This is one of my resistive network designs--they don't make sounds, like most people think; they actually just extend control over other areas.

 

-Matt Zivich

Used to be labeled Angst, Regret, and Forgiveness. Who changed my settings?

 

-Jeff Tweedy

Hope this helps some of y'all!

When I downloaded my songs off the wilco store, they were in .aspx format, how do I turn it into mp3?

Agreed AWATT

+15 to bjorn for using wilco lyrics to backup jeff tweedy's actions

Just because Tweedy is healthy and drug free doesn't mean he doesn't remember what it felt like to be in that sort of pain. Where as a lot of artists get wasted and stoned and write their songs in a haze of pain and numbness, I think Jeff Tweedy is unique in that as he has gotten healthier he will be able to write even more meaningful songs with his lyrical mind. He truly does have a gift for lyrics and the merging of language to song, and I don't think that's going to go away anytime soon.

If there is one man I have faith in to keep putting out high quality music, it is Jeff Tweedy through Wilco. His new health and happiness only gives him more leverage in his songwriting. Who is to say that happy songs can't be artistic and at the same level as his previous songs?

it's a .flac file:

has anyone ever attempted cce on piano like bennett does for one of the kcrw radio shows? In my opinion it's one of the best versions of the song, didn't know if anyone had figured out what he was playing on the piano..
