Found the chat here as well predating my fb post saying the same, lol. Regardless of connection, I like the song and album even more

Venus?!?!?!!!!! Paul, you are a hero of the people

It's been a while since I've looked, anyone know where to find audience recording these days? bt.etree.org doesn't have much 2018s, I'd love to hear these benefit shows if recordings exist

@bböp - have you seen them before? They perform with (and the audience too has) the sort of intensity and energy I'd usually only ever expect from a band just starting out with something to prove playing like everything rests on killing just this one show. Glad I could fulfill your hopes of a video of that song's performance!

Friday night at Thalia Hall in Chicago, The Hold Steady covered "I'm the Man Who Loves You":

Which should've been a bit less of a surprise after Craig Finn's tweet earlier in the day:

Overall an outstanding show as well, THS knows how to entertain and the audience was VERY into it!

I'm not able to make it tonight, staying home sick My ticket is yours if you want it PM me and I'll put you in touch with my friends who are going to the show. Luckily I made it to Wednesday in Milwaukee...

I asked "What time" but they didn't hear me/respond. Probably had to line up at like 11am anyway to get in

So, who's all going to the Irving Park & Cicero Sears tonight?

For anyone who was confused about the band playing the first chord of "Hard Day's Night," someone in the band must've heard the clip this week of Randy Bachman speaking on his radio show about how he got to hear the original master tracks from Giles Martin and revealing the combination of chords (minus piano, strangely) that the band were playing on the original recording. Check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AvxPc5MPEuQ

I'm not going to be able to make it to the show on Monday, I'm offering to sell my 1 ticket for face value, $63 after fees. Section DRC LC Row F. I have the hard ticket in hand, and will give it to family who are going to the show and can meet you beforehand. Or if you're going to the Milwaukee show they could exchange with you there. Please email zspaul@gmail.com

Ah, cool. Looks nice. Hopefully Charlottesville gets a good one too.

I have two extras for Friday in Hartford. Mezz section G. Hard tix from presale. PM me if interested, selling for face, of course. We can meet up at the show

I have 1 extra for tonight's show, Row R on the Left. Face value + fees: $32.50. PM me

I'm definitely one of those Pronto converts, they played a really solid set. I was impressed with Mike's versatility on guitar and vocals and now hope he might have more features in Wilco in the future. Speaking of a partially-rowdy crowd, I'd like to note that during the two new songs they were all perfectly silent. Looking forward to two more!

Still no link to verify any of this?

I'm not sure I have anything to add to the comments about the show. It was pretty epic being there for 16 of 25 hours. Definitely doing it again next year and not driving from Ohio the same day or drinking a pitcher in the first hour.

I found a recording of Robbie Fulks' version of Beyonce's "Irreplaceable" online for anyone who - like me - wanted to hear it again. http://lovinlivemusic.googlepages.com/robbiefulks

When I saw these posters I thought it might look cool to just get two giant sheets of plexi-glass and sandwhich the posters between them. Probably pretty cheap too from Home Despot

I even recognize someone I met from an entirely different forum!

Hi!

Here's their setlist:

In no order:

Roses

what's the world

iattbyh

can't stand

spiders

Too far apart

elt

ashes

shot in arm

pot kettle

side w seeds

altwys

airline to heaven

either way

I just thought that perhaps some other folks here might be interested in the details as well. You just wait until the bootlegs arrive for the obsessing to begin

And another video from the show, from the Beatles Medley, "Don't Let Me Down":

But I'm glad the awesomeness is coming through on the video, too, though!

More video!

4:29 video of the end of Everyone's Got Something

Oh, mobile recording truck, please be so kind as to bestow your gifts upon us all sooner rather than later.

Well put, Hodie. And it was nice seeing you and others that night as well. To me, this kinda feels like just two long days with Brion shows each night, like yesterday wasn't really a "day" if that makes any sense at all. See you tonight!

Overall I thought it was a very fun night. Frustrations with drunken fans aside (and, of course those should've been expected at a NYE show) Jon put on a spirited performance that had the crowd going all night (a crowd that, I'm sure, was comprised of only maybe 20-25% max who knew anything about him). He made up a Springsteen-style song on the spot with John and Pat and a crowd-member on drums and it was absolutely spectacular. I bet Bruce himself would've been flattered and impressed.

I should also note that he's playing again at Martyr's Wednesday night at 10pm. Tickets are sold out online, but the site does note that a very small portion will be held for tomorrow night at the door.
