10/10 recap, thanks Vince!!

He's back!! Appreciate the reviews and I like the new format.

God dammit, why do I have to be so good at predicting things? I was hoping I wouldn't want to go. The US is so expensive and the whole Trump thing makes going to the US very unappealing. But to hear Jeff, John, and Pat sing "I'll not say which seaman" or Nels taking the solo in She Came Along To Me... that opportunity only comes once in a lifetime.

For the record: I hadn't seen that post when I made my Mermaid Ave prediction. So if I'm right, please shower me with praise.

Here's my realistic wishlist: Uncle Tupelo reunion with Jay Farrar Mermaid Avenue night with Billy Bragg Here's my slightly more realistic wishlist: Mermaid Avenue night without Billy Bragg I think it's been long enough that doing another covers night would be fine. Maybe combine with a theme and do 90s cover night? Let's hear Jeff do Teen Spirit and Jeremy. Another acoustic night would be fine too and they have some new acoustic arrangements which would work now.

These are good suggestions! Totally forgot that Cold Water got released on the Parks and Recreation record a few years ago, I remember Jeff doing it on The Tweedy Show in 2020ish when it was "a work in progress".

This is an interesting compilation, I wonder if they'll do more? Exciting to see some unknown stuff is on it. A Jeff Tweedy Christmas song??! The previously released stuff is interesting too as we haven't had a successor to Alpha Mike Foxtrot but there has been a number of b-sides for both Wilco and Jeff in the past 11 years, so it's nice to see things being compiled, even if there's some stuff missing. A lot of these things might have passed some people by. But there's a lot else that could be there.... Presenting TCP's Most Wanted for dbpm16 : Wilco's Dig A Pony cover I'

Almost died reading that 😵

The pedal steel Stan in me would love to have heard some of James' pedal steel live, plus maybe some of the Love is the King faux-steel guitar arranged for actual pedal steel. That said, this line up is great on paper. Sima and Macy are fantastic. I'm excited! In answer to Jef's question, I'm going to choose the lame answer and say none. This is Jeff's first tour with the Tweedy band in a decade, and I missed that tour. I have a lot of Sukierae, Warm(er), Love is the King, and now Twilight, songs to check off my spreadsheet. Yeah, I have a spreadsheet, no laughs please.

Vancouver does love a hockey riot. I believe they also rioted once back in the 90s when Guns N Roses canceled a concert after doors opened. But both times the Canucks almost won the Stanley Cup, Vancouver rioted after game 7. The second time, in 2011, they did a huge downtown block party with giant screens to watch on. I remember a lot of people being worried about what would happen when they lost. And then they did lose (one of the great heartbreaks of my life) and next thing you know, department store windows are being smashed. My hope is that next time they go to the finals they win/lose in

Great recap Vince! Despite the shortened set, it's a show I wish I could have gone to, alas, Uncle Neil was also playing Vancouver a few days after the Edmonton Wilco show and I had to draw the line somewhere. Sorry, a little late to this but... The arena's name is the Pacific Coliseum, which hosted the Vancouver Canucks from their inception as an NHL team in 1970, till the end of the 1995 Stanley Cup Playoffs (where they were defeated by some team from Chicago, ew). They then moved to what is now the Rogers Arena in downtown Vancouver, hence why the 2011 Stanley Cu

Great recap, glad to have you back for this one. It was definitely a weird feeling walking into the same exact lobby as I did the night before, despite driving three hours north. Same thing after walking into the actual auditorium. I sat two seats over from the equivalent seats in Calgary and at times it felt like this was just night two of a two night run. Random thoughts: The Edmonton crowd definitely seemed a bit more excited and engaged. I think this might be the first "standard show" (as in, not an SSF theme night, or a no repeat residency, that sort of thing) I've

Post is updated! I swear I tried to keep it as concise as possible 😅

Hey everyone, our designated reporter was strangely absent last night. I did hear a rumour online he's been spotted at a show for some band from Manchester, which sounds fun. But somehow, I've been assigned the responsibility for the recap for last night's gig... hopefully I'm up to the challenge. First, let's set the scene. In a year when the United States president has openly talked about annexing Canada and then imposed extremely unfair tariffs in a blatant attempt to pressure the Great White North to joining the union, it's more important than ever that America's greatest rock

Did you enjoy Folk Fest? Sorry about the smoke!!
