While I do care about how Tweedy felt about the crowd, I was mainly frustrated about how the crowd interfered with my enjoyment of the show. I go to hear amazing music, not yapping and yelling. I know I wasn't alone in my sentiments. The guy next to me was really bothered by it. He even grabbed a guy who was making noise during the hushed "Acuff-Rose."

Pick me up in OKC?

OK fine, I concede. He was joking. Yeah, his tongue-in-cheek description of the incident cracked me up. He said it would be on the album after that.

Then why did security come and chase the people back to their seats? I still enjoyed the show, but I thought there was a lot of inappropriate behavior in the crowd.

I'm not surprised by the reaction here. I felt the same way. People seemed to show up expecting the same show that Wilco put on at Cain's in '05. I was ashamed to be part of a crowd that seemed to think rushing the stage at a Tweedy solo show was acceptable.

It seemed like the crowd had cabin fever after a week of icy weather and decided to unload its frustrations on Jeff. I'm sure he felt helpless at times. He called for security once and I doubt he was joking. I had been in Vegas all week so I was considerably more mellow. This was my first solo show, so all I have to compare with is bootlegs. But it seemed like the crowd took song requests to an obnoxious level. Next time Oklahoma, less yelling and more singing please.

People in Tulsa unfortunately missed this article.

Thanks so much, Dave. This made my day.

Ha, not sure if that was me, but I did say that. I was representing OKC. Even those I talked to who live in Kansas drove a considerable distance to be there. Maybe Wichita isn't a great place for Wilco to play. Or maybe it's perfect because it's a central location for all of us.

I'll be at the Wichita show alone, too. Driving up from Oklahoma, since the band is inexplicably skipping the Sooner State this time around. Looking forward to seeing you guys.
