Autumn Defense

Glenn Kotche

Nels Cline & Chris Lightcap

Yuka C. Honda

Freehold, N.J. on Sunday 12/11

They will also be appearing at the Ardmore Music Hall (Philadelphia suburb) on Thursday 12/8, but that has not yet been announced.

Thank you for that information!

 

I just looked at my Nugs app again and I still have a blank screen for the liner notes.

The liner notes are now linked to the nugs.net show page.   Those notes include information on the song "Let's Fight".

Nugs just released the July 13, 2006 Fredericton, New Brunswick show on their streaming service. This show is really cool because it has Let’s Fight.

 

One of my Tweedy Show comments was asking Jeff what happened to this song, but Susie most likely didn’t see it. I am curious though if it was ever recorded.

As per the liner notes to the nugs release, this song was first attempted during the "A Ghost Is Born" sessions, and then re-tried during the "Sky Blue Sky" sessions.  They never produced a satisfactory take.

like, is there a Dick Latvala (Dick's picks) for Wilco?

That's exactly what this is.

Not a popular POV around here, but that remains my all-time favorite lineup. Jeff, John, Glenn & Leroy, with Mikeal coming aboard in 2002. Jeff didn't want to have to be lead guitar and front man--which is understandable--but man, it was great watching him play lead all night in those days.

Jeff plays some absolutely fabulous lead guitar during the 2003 Philadelphia show.  That is one of the reasons it was chosen for release.

I was fortunate enough to be among the ~ 20 people (mostly KCRW-FM staff) in the audience for the 9/14 afternoon audio and video taping for KCRW-FM.

Essentially, the band was set up exactly like it was for the three evening shows.  Everyone performed in their "street clothes" (including the normally dapper Nels, who was in jeans), which I thought odd since the performance was being filmed.

Both the band and audience members were asked to remain silent between songs, most probably in order to facilitate easy editing between the performances and interview segments.  While everyone in the audience complied throughout, after a few songs the band (mostly Jeff) couldn't help but make a few wise cracks.

All of the songs played were also played during the evening shows, using the same arrangements and equipment setups.

The complete setlist was as follows:

Update...the afternoon show sold out pretty quickly, so they added a 2nd (7:00pm) show, which is already halfway sold out.  This really is an amazing space to see a show in, so if you are at all interested in going, I suggest that you get your tickets quickly.

Last night: The Autumn Defense in a fantastic house concert in Towson, Maryland

Tomorrow afternoon: The Autumn Defense in Freehold, N.J.

The Autumn Defense will be playing an intimate "concert in the studio" in Freehold, New Jersey at 3:00pm EST on Sunday, November 11th.

Details here:

http://www.concertsinthestudio.com/upcomingperformances.html

Both Pronto and Nels Cline have played this venue in the past year. This will be A.D.'s only east coast public appearance in 2012.

bump - the show is this Friday!

I just wanted to let fans in the Philadelphia and surrounding areas know that The Autumn Defense will be playing a special intimate "acoustic duo" show at Milkboy in Ardmore, PA (20 minute SEPTA ride from Center City) on Friday, May 13th. Tickets will be going on sale shortly.

Not to mention, that was one of like 3 shows where "Just A Kid" was performed. and "Sunken Treasure" was pretty incredible too, if I recall.

You can thank me (and my then nine year old daughter) for "Just A Kid". We were at the afternoon soundcheck and "Kid" was the only Wilco song she new (thanks SpongeBob) so we both yelled for it. They smiled back at us, took a few moments to discuss, and then played it. John was not there yet, so Pat played bass.

I ironically couldn't make it to the show that night (I go all over N. America to see these guys, and then they play Philly on the one night when I can't make it), but got the report that they played "Kid", which was surprising considering that it wasn't rehearsed with the proper lineup.

I taped the first two shows (Toronto and Ontario) of the tour at the request of their soundman. When I send them to the band, I will ask if it is ok to share with the public. Both recordings are straight off the board. The 1st night is missing the first two songs and the 2nd night has some flaws that I should be able to correct. I will keep you "posted".
