awesome, awesome show. i'm starting to lose count of how many times i've seen Wilco, but it's easy for me to know that this was my second time seeing JT solo. and tonight (weather permitting - i live in Waterloo, and it's snowing like mad) will be my third. the performance was really good, musically. Hummingbird and Poor Places as acoustic versions - so cool! Thanks for requesting Magazine Called Sunset - that was a major highlight for me. Jeff's between-song (and sometimes in-song) antics/banter was pretty funny. i can't add too much more than what has been said. personally,

I had a lot of trouble with today's jumble, but eventually got it: http://www.uclickgames.com/jumble/online/daily/tmjmf/2011/03/22 the only ones I got immediately were the second word, and then (once I got finally got all the other words), the answer to the riddle.

I'm generally good at jumbles - they usually jump out at me right away. But this one took me a while. But finally I DID get it.... it is... scroll down .. ... ARTFUL

Jeff Tweedy in Toronto coming up in... 3 (and 4) days! I can't wait!

don't worry, it's not 6 days. it's 5 days!! yup, saturday minus monday = 5. but seriously. this is amazing news. and my birthday is 3 days!

Once again, this week, like last week I was teaching a class until 10:30. So I checked the presale, just in case there was something left (last week there wasn't - I had to buy from TM), and it came up row G. Pretty good, for half an hour late! So I bought them. Yay! Two nights in a row in Toronto!

an interesting idea.. i don't usually go to shows alone, but maybe... i'll see if i can find someone in the next couple of days, before the onsale, and if i can't find anyone, i guess i'll just get one ticket.

ok, i'll go! next question. who do I go with? My girlfriend's going with me the first night, but she doesn't want to go two nights in a row. I'm sort of new to where I'm living so I don't have many friends yet (who have similar musical tastes to me). maybe it'd be weird, but is there anyone on here who wants to go to the 2nd Toronto show with me?

man, another Toronto show! do I go? I live 90 minutes away, and I have to get up early the next morning. I'm already doing it once for the 22nd, but should I do it two days in a row? I'm leaning towards yes.. someone convince me (I'm easily convinced)!

well, the press release I read wasn't so specific, like with the "out in 2011", and "massive tour" stuff. That is awesome and I, for one, appreciate you posting this!

I pretty much feel the same way as you do, realrival. It's very good. I like every song. And it's a lot of fun. And "You and I" is probably my favourite on there. I wouldn't say I was disappointed with W(TA). And when I saw them for the W(TA) tour, somehow it was my favourite Wilco show that I've been to. So I really like where they're at now, even if I like their older songs a bit more than their newer songs. I feel that Wilco is far from past their prime, like a lot of people think, and I'm really excited for their next album.

got 2 tix in centre orch row V. i was contemplating giving them up to try again for something better on the balcony. but i thought "a bird in the hand...", since you just never know with onsales like this. so i just bought them. if anyone got some good balcony seats (first couple of rows) and wants to trade for some row V orch seats, let me know! edit: that's for the toronto show.

good luck everyone!

i'm really excited about this toronto show. I didn't get tix during the presale because i was teaching a class when they went on sale. when i got to it after class, they were all sold out. i'm crossing my fingers for something good for the TM onsale.

awesome! i was thinking of going to that show. last minute, the day of... i was trying to get someone to go with me. but it was a weeknight, i couldn't find anyone to go with, AND the roads weren't too good that day (lots of snow or maybe even freezing rain). i hadn't planned to go, because i had already seen them a week before in edmonton. but since the edmonton show was so awesome, it made me want to see them again. i didn't end up going to that london show, but i have seen them around 5 times over the last few years, so it's not a big deal. plus, i'm sure i'll see them again soon eno

ok, the dates are back up on wilcoworld. phew! still not too much info.. clicking on "info" next to the dates doesn't do anything. oh well, i'm sure we'll have ticket info etc soon enough!

weird, those dates were up on Wilco's site last night, but now they're gone...?

awesome! i'm going to the toronto one for sure! i haven't been around on this board too much lately... lurking a bit every once in a while.. but anyway, "hi, everybody!" i first joined this board in 2005ish, and i was thinking of going to see JT solo in Calgary. i asked some people here "i have never seen Wilco or JT - is it worth the drive for JT solo?" (i was coming from Edmonton - 3 hrs away), and people were like "yeah - Wilco play everywhere all of the time. you'll have many chances to see Wilco - but Jeff doesn't do THAT many solo shows. this is a rare chance!" i forget who it

I got into Wilco in late 2004/early 2005. The first chance i had for any sort of live experience was a Jeff solo show at Calgary folk fest in June of 2005. I remember talking about it on this board and people saying "GO to this show - Wilco shows will come, but the Tweedy solo shows are a lot more rare". so yeah - i took their advice and they were so right! That's the only time i've seen a Jeff Tweedy solo show, but i've seen Wilco a bunch of times since then. so here's my list.. 2005: June, Jeff Tweedy Solo at Calgary Folk Fest 2006: June, Edmonton, Northern Jubilee Auditorium 2007

i'm also hoping someone does, especially if they play Broken Arrow - then we'll have a soundboard recording of it to listen to!

actually i think that was Walken. Yeah, I remember the big reddish hollow body hanging by his strings. and those rocky riffs being played on a telecaster in the second half of the song. yes, that was pretty awesome. another thing about this show - i took my sister, and it was her first time seeing Wilco. she isn't a fan like me, but i told her she has to go. she was VERY impressed!

I looked at my watch at the start and finish - start time was 8:35ish, and end time was 10:50ish.

The other encore song was Via Chicago, right after Broken Arrow. Wilco the song was awesome. I thought it was a perfect start to the encore too. When they came back, before they played anything, Jeff said, "now you won't be able to get rid of us" (which met many cheers). Wilco will love us, indeed! and we love Wilco! and yeah, that was a weird version. To anyone who wasn't there, there was an interesting/weird thing during the end of that song, but Jeff said "We're still working on that... don't tell anyone in Calgary - shhhh". and there was a bit of a screw up with the weird thin

Remember the Mountain Bed Via Chicago At Least That's What You Said How To Fight Loneliness Wilco (the song) Hummingbird I Am Trying To Break Your Heart ^^ these were all granted! and these were not: You And I Either Way Far, Far Away and also, a total surprise (another internet request, Jeff said), Summer Teeth!

I went to the concert tonight and it was amazing. This was my 4th time seeing a proper Wilco concert, and it may have been the best. Really good song selection, and sound quality, and energy. Jeff was his usual funny self. I didn't write anything down, but I'm sure someone will post the setlist soon. Setlist was a lot of the usual songs, plus some not-as-usual songs (at least in my experience). personal highlights: Remember The Mountain Bed (Jeff mentioned it had been requested it on the website, and I actually requested it!), SUMMERTEETH (another internet request according to Je
