A Hole Without A Key

The heat is broken in my apartment and it's hovering around 45 degrees in here, but the sweet tunes and good cheer warmed me heart and soul tonight-- thanks guys!

OKAY ALRIGHT OKAY ALRIGHT!!!!

This one is gonna be rocking, hopefully with horns. Always better live.

KILLER HORN SOLO!

Man, they're leaving few stones unturned for tomorrow night! But does this count as an album song?

Because he can't do the laundry, supposedly. Lol!

This song really lends itself to the horns.

Word.

Aw stars

27 nothings? A conservative estimate maybe, if the crowd is into it.

I had to work last night so I couldn't get there until a little after 7, but I still got a good spot on the main floor in the closest section. Just a little off to the side. But hey, it was a nice view of Pat Maybe I lucked out.

Nels = God. It's now official.

I'm literally crying a little bit. I'm going tomorrow, but they'll never play Hotel Arizona a third night.

Nels has nice wah wahs, apparently.

This thread moves so fast it's hard to keep up. But then, I'm slow and easily distracted by good music in my ear.

Lol, now you're pushing it! Diamond Claw would be amazing though.

Holy crap, how does everybody KNOW! That was a smooth transition.

Aww, Reservations. So nice. Everybody called that one.

Hi there, This Wilco show seems to be the hottest end-of-summer concert going in the Windy City. As such, and due to a series of unfortunate events, I wasn't able to snag tickets. I was really hoping to bring my friend to her first-ever Wilco show, but alas. If you, the good people of Via Chicago, have any (2) extra tickets to the show, I will gladly pay face + fees + my endless gratitude and affection. Thank you so much for your time, I really appreciate it! Jenna (jenmtimme@gmail.com)

Well, I tried to request "Far Far Away" (that's a little less obscure, right? ), but I'm a pretty soft-spoken gal and Jeff couldn't hear me. Those around me, who were much louder than I, were screaming for "Airline to Heaven," so that's what we got in the end. Works for me, I think it's a great song too.

So I guess I was that arrogant self-professed "biggest Wilco fan" who "needed to hear him play a YHF demo song." Just wanted to clear my good name and say that I was not being intentionally obscure with my song request, though I think most fans should understand that without me having to explain. When the opportunity arose to request a song (any song!), a million choices ran through my head. By the time I got my chance, there were already a bunch of great songs on the list, so I went with "Venus Stop the Train." Could I have been more "mainstream"? Yes, of course! But this was a once-in-a-lif
