I was pleasntly surprised by last night's set. The past shows I've seen of them (on the SBS tour & some of the KT tour)...all of the songs in the sets fell into a rhythm. You could usually feel what was coming next. Tonight, I was completey surprised by each song they played. It also seeemed like the most positive & upbeat shows I've seen in a while. Also, after the show we got to talk to most of the band. Jeff said that would love to do the "catalog" shows again in a year or so...maybe even somewhere else other than Chicago. They all said they loved playing last week. John also said

What does this mean??? Are these shows being webcast somewhere??? Someone please let me know!!!!

Ryan Adams just cancelled a few dates a few weeks ago & word on the street (whatever that means) was it was to do SNL. I have yet to hear that anything is confirmed yet. Who knows? I feel for you in the UK. I am sure they will re-book some gigs very soon. I'll cross my fingers for you.

I couldn't believe how tight the security was on the floor. I don't think I've ever been to a concert like it. At no point in the show was there an attempt to rush the stage. I had 6th row center & they were probably some of the best seats I've ever had. I could see everything perfectly. As much as I love being as close as possible, I was completely happy not having to be smashed into the person in front of me just to get a good view of the show. It was a great experience!

You are correct....I'm the Man was inbetween Walken & Hummingbird. I must have been a little tired last night when I posted. The set list is now in order!

Here's the way Pittsburgh played out....direct from Jeff's set list... Face Germany Far Far Away Heart Pot Kettle Handshake Shot Seeds Via chicago War Jesus Too Far apart Walken I'm the man Hummingbird On & on Misunderstood Cars can't escape Spiders Hate it here HMD Red eyed/I got you Outtasite (didn't play) A good time was had by all & Jeff was in great spirits after the show. He signed my set list & told me he had to go to the bus & eat a Primanti Bros. sandwich.

when i saw them last year at wvu, there was no opener. jeff even commented that they don't do very many " an evening with wilco" shows, but he liked it. i agree as well. i don't want to bother with anything else but wilco. of course, i just saw andrew bird last week & it was amazing. i wish he was playing pittsburgh again.

Amen!

Please...tell me you are kidding.

Has anyone heard who might be opening on the last dates of the US tour...Pittsburgh & Charlottesville? Or do you think it will end up being "An Evening With Wilco" sans opening artist. There are only 2 US shows left (not including the Voodoo Festival) before they head to Europe. Just curious...

I don't mean to complain, but it annoys me when a presale is announced but fans are never notified via email. Isn't that why we submit our addresses to the site...so they can contact you when something significant is happening. I would say concert tickets would fall into that category. I just feel like we are expected to check the site everyday. That's just not possible all the time. Anyway, I just wanted to get that off my chest. I feel better now. -Chris

Is Political Science a cover? If so, by who? Just curious...

I talked to the band after the WVU show & they told me that the new album should be out in April. John told me they had like 13 songs recorded & are going to be recording a good bit more. Some of the songs they've been playing live from the summer & fall tours should make it onto the record, but he didn't specify anything in particular.

Their set list also showed that they planned to close with Misunderstood & California Stars. They probably just didn't get to them because they already played a full 2 hours.

Seeing IATTBYH (the film) actually got me into Wilco. I was never a fan of their studio albums. Plus, I had a few friends that kept telling me they were greater than sliced bread. Needless to say, it sort of put me off. Once I saw them perform live in the film, I finally realized how wrong I was & how amazing they are! As far as I am concerned, they are at their best live...& the film helped me realize that. That's my two cents...
