There was a hint at another residency sometime. But not in Chicago.

Also at more of the "Evening with Wilco" shows, thought Jeff said they were really tiring. The shows this spring came off the heels of another tour and Jeff said they were hard to do.

The PA was requested by Jeff. I think he prefers it. I think it really helps the experience.

Maureen's basement was perfect acoustically and shape-wise so that no one was far away, which is hard to do anyway with 30 people.

Tremendous show -- Jeff was so "on", I suppose he should always have time in the studio before doing one of these .

Maureen's hospitality was fantastic and as always, Wendy, your super organization really paid off. So great to see old friends and so many new. "The Proposal" was really wonderful and as Jeff pointed out, it was good that "She's a Jar" had already been played.

One thing I did notice was that there was not a single song from YHF played, and only one from AGIB. Next year I vote for the drone!

Hang in there Crow. Just remember you are loved here

It was a letter to season ticket holders, right? He can't call them all. Obviously he's a goober.

It was a letter to fans, but mostly it was a letter to LeBron.

Posting that letter in that state was pure folly. Even if factual, all that comes through is the emotion. And he will always look like the sore loser with emotion.

Oh and Gilbert's letter? email 101 teaches us that you never send a nasty gram without sleeping on it first. And then, only send if they recipient doesn't have a phone. TALK IT OUT!

This whole thing was disgusting. why not just sign a fucking contract and announce it via the team like most people do. Instead, an hour long wank-fest (which I did not watch).

I think many many more people woke up as heat-haters than heat fans. I hope to god they lose. Sorry BB.

At the time I thought it was one of the best of the night, but then I kept thinking that as each number came up ...

There was more of a sense of frailty and less sweetness than on the record I would say, obviously in part because it was stripped down, but more emotion came across then the slicker (soft rocking?) recording. But without that sweetness it was still of itself very (more?) beautiful in a slightly different way and worth future requests for sure. It would also be my favourite from the latest were it not for Wilco (The Song).

Thanks Andrew -- cannot wait to hear it solo!!

I am curious about One Wing. My fav tune off of the record. Never heard it solo (yet). How was it??

We finally did it. This is called the hardest trophy to get in sports and I can see why. Congrats to the boys for coming through in a big way.

And if you haven't see the cabbie you're missing a treat.

And here they are arriving in Chicago at 4 am

Tweedy at Hawks game

Was trolling the Blackhawks site yesterday -- came across this, and not sure if anyone else posted it. Looks like Michael was in the shoot the puck contest too. This must have been the game where the hawks were down 5-0 and came back to win 6-5.

Bump. Game 6 should be verrrry interesting. Fingers crossed!

I love that Roses and Flowers are back to back. And How to Fight Loneliness plus In a Future Age. Awesome....

Two wins away!

Think of it as hazing without any actual pain

Bump. So so excited for this. My prediction: 'Hawks in 6.

Big exhale here. 3 of the 4 were crazy close wins. On to the Finals!

Jeff not addressing the audience until the 7th or 8th song is typical. He has always seemed (to me) to be busy setting the scene for a rocking show. They do feed off the aud vibe, but if they hated it, they would not have played for 2.5 hours. Be happy - let it go

 

no way I can root for the Habs, or the Flyers. Hawks ? I guess it will be them.

Welcome to the light side!

If the hawks win tonight, stick a fork in the sharks.

caught the last period -- two zip hawks and it wasn't at all nerve wracking. Though, since I am on the road I am stuck watching ESPN waiting for highlights. Do they even know hockey exists??
