Scranton was the only show I caught this year and I came home with one of your posters. It was a nice one, good job. I really like the Tweedy solo posters too, btw. Very cool.

She's great and, yes, I know. I'm one of them. I simply wrote her name in (unquoted) reply to the vibe that was coming from this thread when I was reading it that Wilco, and/or Tweedy, do not appeal or relate to diverse enough crowd.

Mavis Staples

Legit question. Ask them and find out..... http://www.gatewaymastering.com/default.asp ...let us know if you hear anything.

Huh, what's it say about my life if your post is the highlight of my day? Just a bunch of average Joe's here on the internets, I guess.

Happy news about your expected baby, Hi-Rose. Good luck seeing Wilco, hope you get to. If not, maybe you can take solace in that I think you've just named Wilco's next album...

Ooo, either one of those would be good.

Tonight's the Night! Live Rust style!

That was great! I actually logged on while it was playing because I wanted to say how I thought that maybe JT's comments may have been misconstrued, but then he started bantering about rednecks before they played "Casino Queen", and that was feakin' hee-larious. His expression was very funny. What's the deal, indeed. I am now listening (not watching because I'm typing) to Neil sing "Sail Away". I am very happy at the moment. Join yer local CSA, Co-op, go to the public market, whatever have you. Eat up and enjoy.

Nice! Thanks Wendy!

I've been out of town working all week and therefore missed all of this. I love that they came out with BBN at Farm Aid, I bet Neil likes that song. Anyways, I'm intrigued by what these comments from Jeff were. He's a polite guy and I'm wondering if it was apparent to the crowd in general that they were directed to anyone in particular. I happened to be working in Maui (beats working in Toledo) and I was driven through Wille's town where he owns a house, past his street. Very cool.

However much I envy you, thank you all for the reports. They make me smile widely and I too am looking very much forward to the Them Crooked Vultures release. Everybody's gotta rock hard once in awhile. I really do wonder what sort of backstage banter there was between these two bands, if any. They couldn't really be more polar opposites, but they are both two of my favorite bands (QOTSA, that is. JPJ goes without saying as a favorite.)

Nice setlist for a festival. Non-Wilco question...does anybody know if Them Crooked Vultures were surprise performer at the fest? Did anyone see them? And if so, how were they?

My wife and I were watching "Ashes..." last night and lo and behold, there was the ubiquitous bbop down front at Tipitina's. How do you do, bbop? We met at the first MSG show last year, I introduced myself after I recognized you from a photo on this here fan site. I thought it was funny spotting you in the film and since I enjoy reading your reports and appreciate the dutiful setlist updates, here's your official thread (is there another already, perhaps?) We were at the Ryman show up in the balcony and were fooling around with our 7yr old son, asking him if he could pick us out of the crowd a

I've seen them a dozen times since '03 including 2nd row at the Chicago Aud, Radio City, the Ryman and up close in my own hometown of Ra-cha-cha last year and this last one ranks with the best. 2nd only maybe to the Ryman show last year (and only becuase of venue prestige.) These guys brought it on Sunday and I thought the sound was fine (from row S, at least.) I agree that At Least...was a barn burner and Hoodoo was something that I've never seen before, and I felt like I was witnessing a great and lost artifact from a beautiful and psyche wrenching plane of consciouness (call me gushing.) Ha

David Dye - World Cafe, today he played Bull Black Nova. You heard right. He's played Wilco (The Song) recently and I believe I've heard You Never Know, as well.

Ha, that is funny. I can see it. Witty fellow, that Tweedy. Those guys are living the life, I'm telling you. Playing with all these musical icons is becoming commonplace for them, but they do show their respect and admiration. Who's left for them to play with for crying out loud(another thread)? Nice report bbop! Doug (guy at the Garden)

They will get by.....

I'm just chiming in to say how much I enjoyed that song at that Ryman show. Great rendition with the Total clarinet playing Pro and very cool lighting design. I was sincerely hoping it would make the DVD (we saw the cameras and knew one would be released ultimately...given Sunken Treasures' success and all.) I have that visual burned into my brain.

Sorry....had to do it. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

Trump hearts Neil..... http://www.rollingstone.com/rockdaily/inde...s-donald-trump/ When asked what he thought of Wilco...Trump replied "I think they really brought the rock, very marketable. Which one was Roger?"

nudie! I just read your post. What a great story! Thanks for sharing it.....thanks also for the brief new album report. I love how approachable those guys are. Also, your kid deserves a beer when he's old enough(?) for saying what he did to Noel. Great stuff.

Thanks for the review Paul! That's the show I was expecting when I bought our tickets for 12/15, before they up and scheduled the second 12/16. Oh well, I ain't complaining. We got the rock, too....and I can see it pretty clearly in my mind's eye anyways. Very, very fun. KORITFW, doug

That city never sleeps, so they can afford to start a little later than the others on this tour.
