Being nitpicky and all, she probably could hold her instrument a little higher. I hate saying it, mostly because I have the same problem, except 1000000000000000000000000000000x worse.
I don't know how she held her instrument, but she KICKED ASS!!! Brought the only standing ovation of the evening. I wish she was in the Wilco Ensemble.

Go see my son's band, The Morning Pages. (check out www.zealousrecords.com)
They got an invitation to play SXSW this year, and they're really excited about it. Unfortunately, I have to be out of the country on that weekend or I'd be there, too.

Oh, and I think it was the drummer from the Roots who was always on the cell phone. That was a great story.
I could never tell one drummer from another. Damn!!

What did he say about the SPRING TOUR.....any dates in the south?
Y'know, we spent very little time talking about Wilco or Jeff's professional life (except for his anecdotes about band members -- I loved his his description of how Glenn is constantly on his cell phone). To my knowledge, no one asked him about his tour or even about the new record. For us, it is all about playing the music. I know... we're weird. But trust me, you'll get the answers to those questions from next week's show.

lets not get carried away will not be be on the album. last night was great sooo much fun. im very good at re-telling stories, but i think someone who was there should re-tell the nintendo wii idea he had.
Aww, c'mon, Jack. You should tell it. This was after we were well into the night and ignited the only Jeff/Sue "confrontation".

Wow!!!!! It will be long time before the smile leaves my face.
What an amazing night listening to and playing music with Jeff and all the great musicians at the Old Town School of Folk Music's Wilco Ensemble. Everyone played their heart out. I have played with this group for two years and I have never been more proud. The music was INCREDIBLE!!!!!!. Thanks to Chandler who set up and worked the sound and made us sound so good. Jeff and the group were relaxed and had a great time. Thanks to Ken and his family for hosting and making this possible. Thanks to our fearless leader Bobby G for bringing the rock week after week. Thanks to Jeff and Sue for caring enough about their fans to want to hang out and play with us and driving into the a bad winter storm to do it.
Here is the set list I have. Any corrections are welcome We divided into small impromptu groups and individuals. Jeff played and sang on everything.

One correction....
B5 also did "No Sense In Lovin" (my personal fave). Jeff said it was so long since he played it that he had to pull out the disc and re-learn it. Spencer caught him and said: "What?? You have to learn your own songs?? That's pathetic!!" Jeff told him: "Just wait... it'll happen to you."
We also did "I'm A Wheel"
Jeff also left a capo. I know it's his because it has the number "12" painted on it, and no one in the ensemble would keep track of their capos that way. I'll bring it to Edie's show on Saturday.

You saw most of what I saw. I dug the Ryan Adams set (I know the steel player) apart from the rant about eggs. From where I was at, everybody knew the words to Hickory Wind, and it was the audience reaction that caused Ryan to give a nod to Gram at the end of the song. I actually liked the way he wove the Dead tunes (Wharf Rat; (S)he's gone; Franklin's Tower) into medleys with his own songs. But I can see how people who didn't come to see a Phish concert might have been kind of bored. Lookin' forward to Sunday.

Just drop me an e-mail to feedback@wilcobase.com and I'll get your setlist posted. If you want, I'll link any photos you want as well. Just include links for the photo pages.
I promise it won't take a year to get posted like last years show.
Rob, I will do that ... and, trust me, we have some great pictures.
Check out our thread (1/28/06) elsewhere on this site, for a preview. Morgan, this is one reason why I don't keep a blog.

Hey, Edie, you rule!!!
We'll have to figure out how to get our stuff posted by these guys.... once we can all agree on exactly what we played.

Oh, and good luck and great
and 
for the show tomorrow night in the NW 'burbs.remember, if a slot turns up at the last minute, I am SO there!
Edie, I should have just told you to come on out. Jeff and Sue were so cool about the whole thing
It wouldn't have mattered to have one or two more. And the show absolutely rocked I'm sure there will be more about that later. Great to see you on Wednesday.

It was more like the White House.
Johnny and Jenny, I know I told you, but beautiful poster. Puts the rest this year to shame. So nice to meet you.
And somebody PLEASE post the photo of Jackson (from Ft. Wayne) and Jeff
