Ask Ian Anderson from Jethro Tull, who was hit with cheese thrown at him by an audience member.

Who brings cheese to a concert?

Change the thread title to North American dates - they added Toronto June 30, at Massey Hall.

Fingers crossed for Detroit and/or London, Ont might still be added.

An intimate beauty.

Seems like lots of people are upping their shares , but if anybody else still needs to hear it, send me a PM.

I think I responded via PM with a Rapidshare link to about 3 pages of requests in this thread, so lots of those people that said they would like to hear SBS already have a copy (allbeit a 128 bit copy. Want better? Buy the release).

Did I miss anybody with those pms?

Is this going to be Wilco's Abbey Road?

OK, 'Shake It Off' reminds me of a School House Rock song. I think it was one of the number/math songs.

Quick Google: School House Rock - "Naughty Number Nine"

Either Way was pretty.

After last year's fantastic show in London, Ontario, I sincerely hope they return for another. And how about one in Detroit rather than out the burbs and school towns I can't really make it too without taking time off of work. Ann Arbor? Pass it this year. Instead do a couple (wishful thinking) right downtown at the State Theater. That would rock!

Impossible Germany. I hope this doesn't jinx it for Sky Blue Sky.

Jeff's book too.

I taped the show with my MD recorder. Sounds pretty good. Working on it today and will hopefully have it torrented soon...unless another source pops up.

Best news I've heard all day! Thanks friend!

And if anybody is interested, here's a couple tiny vids I took with my little digicam. Two vids that total 8 MBs. One is 24 seconds of I'm The Man Who Loves You, and the other is 17 seconds of the girl they pulled up on stage telling everybody to yell because 'It's good for your soul!'

Note: brought to you in high tech MPEG1 format - damn you HP!

Anyone take any photos to post??

Comin' up!

But first, WOW was the London show ever good! Best of my 3 Wilco shows yet. Everything from the choice of tunes, the skillful performance of the band, and of course the energy of the crowd just made for a prefect night!

We spent pretty much the entire show over to the left side of the floor slightly closer than halfway and hopped up on to the wooden rail. The view (and sound - eventually) was very good (sitting on the rail boosted us up a couple inches as we're short people) and it provided easy access to both the bar and bathrooms - both of which never got too busy, which I was thankful for!

The M's were OK, but as everyone else noted their sound was garbage. Vocals were muddy and drowned by the music. But by the time they got through the C.H. was nice and busy. Looked like a 3/4 full house to me at that point.

Wilco of course, were smokin' hot! Totally brought out everything you could want in a performance - fun, energetic, and wild! Jeff was quiet for the first half, but opened up later on. New song right off the bat. Then what I remember thinking was a short set before the first encore. Then a 5 (!) encore! Woo hoo! That was neat. They brought some chick up on stage to help get the crowd screaming for Kingpin - "It's good for your soul" she said. And she's right! Another 2 to finish it off. And I got to say, at about 2 hours or so, I wanted more! It's not that I was disappointed, mind you. Based on that show, I'll be going to see every Wilco concert I can possibly go see.

Anyhoo, here's some London pics. Sorry they aren't better. It's a cheap cam and blows for dark pics. Click for biggie:

And five more:

Thanks for the fast update. Looks like a great set.

Hoping for similar stuff in London, where I promise I'll be doing my best to be rock showesque. Even if I have to drink a beer or two!

Grabbing it now. Thanks!
