  1. Me and my band had the honour to open for them on a couple of dates last november in France. They blew our minds, I still can't believe it. Pass The Hatchet, I Think I'm Goodkind live is such an intense experience.

    Among my best memories of those shows, was to witness the soundcheck where they did a couple of tracks from Zuma (Don't Cry No Tears and Barstool Blues). We were the only one apart from their roadies in front of them so it felt like a private gift for us.

    Also my amp blew up during our soundcheck so they offered to use theirs as well as their bass amp. they are the sweetest guys.

     

    Oh and to finish they did in one encore a cover of Sun Ra (something about nuclear bombs) I'd love to hear this again so if anyone knows which song I'm taking about, point me to the right direction please.

  2. So I'm getting into Uncle Tupelo lately and I've been reading on the net how Anodyne is such a great Album when A.M. is no so well rated. I was wondering if it was an opinion shared on VC. Feel free to elabore on this I'm curious about your opinions.

  3. Awsome show. Before someone post a full setlist, I can tell you we got the usual suspects + I'm Always In Love in the encore and the first outing for this tour of Either Way in the main set. No song from Being There :ohwell No Pot Kettle Black :ohwell

    Glenn is so impressive to watch. He must do some serious workout to keep with the energy demanded by each show.

     

    From Memory it was something like that (I'm sure I mess up the order and might have forgotten a few songs):

  4. I think it's pretty cool for them to do that. I was a fan in the 90's and I'm always pleased to see them trying things, be "artistic".

     

    The thing with the Pumkins and Corgan is that deep down is a folk pop songwriter. I believe it's were his true talent is (Mayonaise,1979, The Tale of Dusty and Pistol Pete,Let Me Give the World to You, or all those great acoustic Zwan songs that were so much better than the released L.P.) but he thinks he has to appeal to all those emo kids and the people that goes to see the Good Charlotte, My Chemical Romance , Linkin Park and so on.

    As he got older he became pathetic as he attemped to "Rock". I know "teenage angst has paid off well" but the new L.P., if he goes for the rock thing, will be a laborious and ridiculous come back that might only satisfied the 90's nostalgics. And don't get me started on all his metaphisical nonsense. I'm not really looking forward to this release.

     

    But anyway, this anouncement is quite pleasing. It's interesting to change the pace of 1 city/1 gig/the hits . It gives the feeling that the music still matters it's not just buisness and that's a good point for Mr Corgan.

  5. I'm amazed noone mentioned that already :brow

  6. Somehow, I don't think the French would really get Wilco.

     

    Why? Wilco is getting a lot press here and is a referrence to many musicians (me among others). They here playing a 2000 capacity theatre in Paris and I'm pretty sure it'll be sold out (thank god I bought 7 tickets for me and my friends).

  8. Ok so I've figured the basic chords for Get A Room.

     

    first part

    Bm D Bm D Bm D G Em

     

    second part

    G F/G E/G F/G

     

    Feel free to elaborate from this sketch. Also I was trying first to do Life Goes Off but is it me or it's not 440hz tuned?

  9. I was watching DVD project voulme 84 (detroit July 03) for the first time today. It was the first time The Late Greats was played. It's strange to hear it that slow. It's still a great song. At Least That's What You Said and Muzzle Of Bees were also played that day but it's not on the DVD. I'd like to hear them. Anyone's got an audio of those songs on that show? Or even from that period. Thanks.

  10. I don't want to be the guy who always asks for live mp3 but I saw on Wilcobase that they have performed More Like The Moon during 3 shows in 2003 and as it's among my favourite tracks, I'd love to hear how it was performed. So if anyone has a recording (obviously rare) of that, would he be kind enough to post it? I'm sure I'm not the only one interested in it.

    Cheers,

     

    Victor

  11. Anyone got a mp3 of The lonely 1 feturing wilco's current line up? I was listening to the bt version a few minutes ago and I'm eager to hear what they have done with sweet and subtle song.
