  1. Great show. I had seats on the left side in the second group of seats, but managed to get to the front row for the last few songs after timing it right and getting by the security guard. After the setlists disappeared, me and my friends hung around until a roadie threw one of Glenn's sticks to some guy. He missed the catch and I was able to snatch the stick off the ground before it bounced away. So that was pretty exciting.

  2. I had a similar experience. YHF was actually the first Wilco record i listened to; I was into anti-war songs for some reason so the title "War on War" caught my eye. The open-ended nature of the lyrics interested me as did the folky nature + weird noises combination. It followed into Jesus, etc. next so i came to enjoy that song as well. I didn't listen to the album except for those songs for a while, and eventually got into the most accessible tune, heavy metal drummer. It was when i returned to the record later and listened to it all the way through that the subtle beauty you speak of became apparent to me. Every song is so good but they also form such a cohesive whole, lyrically, thematically, and musically. It definitely took time to grow on me but now YHF is without a doubt one of my favorite records of all time.

     

    Its annoying in a way because it takes time to appreciate the album and most people are not willing to invest that time.
