I actually saw them open for Wilco a few years back in Rhode Island. It was pretty sweet!

Black Joe Lewis and the Honey Bears

so sick!

Just caught the show in Austin last night. We were on the side of the stage right next to Linda. She F-in ROCKS! The show was a lot of fun (I think my ears are still ringing). Pretty cool to be 10 feet from Peter Buck.

Go to the website and then click on the 'Shows' link. Click on your show and there will be a pop-up for requests. And every show I've been to cameras have been okay, and I know they are okay with the band, but I think ultimately it's up to the venue.

In John's interview today with David Fricke he said it's self titled "Wilco". I guess there comes a time for every band when they release a self titled record. And the show was great today (last few songs really made it awesome)! They all seemed super loose and having a lot of fun. Jeff was smiling like the whole show. Real nice day overall in New Orleans.

First, one quip which hasn't been mentioned is the Walken/ITMWLY set closer, either first set or first encore. I think it's got to be about 2 years straight where they play those songs successively (I'm looking at Residency set lists as well and it's the same). Sure, they are fun rockers but when I hear those first notes of Walken I can always know that the set is about to end, anyone else a bit annoyed? Second, I noticed after making a request the other day that some of the most requested songs are IG, Jesus, Hummingbird and other songs that are just about locks to make the set regardless.

haven't seen the dvd yet but did catch a screening tonight here in NOLA and was generally happy to see my favorite band doing what they love best... play kick ass beautiful music. I do have some nit picky quips with the film as a whole but overall am glad that us fans get a document of a great band at their live peak (arguably). My biggest knock on the film is how they would jump around from the banter after one song to a completely different point in the set with different clothes and instruments. Anyone with any kind of eye can catch that stuff and to me it's just annoying. I also think t

I've been perusing over all of the recent set lists and this one has to take the cake. It reminds a lot of the kind of set lists we were seeing last year after the Residency shows.

Show was spot on for the short amount of time and I totally agree with the above statement with the ducks (seagulls?) flying overhead, and I think Jeff noticed it too, i caught him look up near the end of the song in appreciation of the surrounding area (cypress trees, sunset, birds, 10,000 people) and it was one of those 'everything is alright with the world' moments. The Glen Rockstar was the best I've seen yet as well, and I've gotta say as much as I am tired of hearing the Walken-ITMWLY combo (especially to close the set), those songs just never really get old and Wilco always finds a

I remember a few years back they played the Midnight Special music on kazoos or something like that, it was pretty sweet

See, and I was pretty sure they didn't. I heard it at shows last year, tho. I've got the recording and they definitely come onto that music.

Always nice to have a bit of positivity. It's the shorter set that gets me as well. I'd be with you with the leaving early to avoid the rush but I'll be with my sister who has decided to let me choose all of the shows to see for the weekend, and in return she does still want to catch a bit of Jack. I guess that's not asking too much.

I know it's been run by already, but I still can't get over the fact that Wilco is stuck behind Jack f-in Johnson. How does that happen. Taking my Wilco bias out of the equation I still don't see how it works. For a headliner you want someone who is going to rock the crowd into the night (ie: Radiohead, Tom Petty) not sing us to sleep with a lullaby. Just don't get it.

there are definitely too many overlaps for my liking but I'll be able to see the majority of bands I want to see. Also, tickets came in just now via UPS. Sweet!

Definitely true. If you are in the lawn you can bring any food item you'd like, including booze. People sometimes go all out there.

Nice sound for a live show. Video's a bit shaky, but I still got the feel from the show. Man, i just can't believe that they're still just getting better and better. I truly feel that with this level of musicianship the sky literally is the limit. Go Wilco!

I was at the New Haven gig and feel a bit biased toward it, but IMHO the IG solo from the latest ACL show is the most tasteful and satisfying solo to date.

Just the other day I ran this orange/yellow shirt (traditional tibetan wear) that I had picked up in India last year. I knew I should be careful washing it, but I finally decided to throw it in. I figured as long as the water was on cold it would be fine. Open up the washing machine an hour later and anything that was white (yep, i don't separate whites and darks) was now a funny yellow color. Oh well, a good lesson in non attachment, and a good sign of how much of a doofus I am when it comes to washing clothes

Everything in the area is going to be through the roof for pricing. This is in the thick of the tourism season up here and because of Tanglewood and the BSO everything is expensive and goes quickly. There are a ton of Bed + Breakfasts and Inns and variety of places to stay, but from what I know, all are a pretty penny. If you've got the money, I'd check out the Apple Tree Inn which is the only accommodation that is within a 5 minute walk. Also, motels in Pittsfield will be cheaper than anything in Lenox, Stockbridge, or Lee. But to tell the truth, I've never stayed anywhere here so I don

I believe it was MTV/VH1, to be used at a further date. Maybe we have a behind the Music coming up on Wilco. Ha.
