I recall that as being a damn good one, although my memory of the electric sets aren't so good. I know there's a Dark Star in there. The acoustic sets stand out to me for the very rare She's Mine (Pig) and the great gospel tune I Hear A Voice A-Callin'.

Indeed - both of those are very good. The Playin' from 6/29 stands out to me as the closest thing to the '74 spaceouts. The Wheel from that show is awesome as well. I would also mention 6/14 off the top of my head. The longest Slipknot ever? I dunno, but Jerry noodles furiously on that one - at one point it's just him and the drummers. You GOTTA get that. 9/25 & 9/28 are outstanding, too.

Oh, you NEED to get obsessed with this stuff, Mike. You can trust me.

I'll go out on a limb here, and make a VERY general statement - I prefer '76 to '77. For the reasons Lemieux mentioned - the setlists were crazy-unpredictable, and the jams were for the most part very dreamy. You can still hear a little bit of '74 in some of them. '77 is the just exactly perfect year, and that's really a good year to turn on newbs but it's straight ahead, all business (like I said, a VERY general statement).

What about Lawrence O'Donnell?

Wow, you don't hear these sentiments expressed everyday! (post-peter>peter era, darryl>steve). I've always preferred the '70-'75 years more than what came after, although Trick and Seconds are fantastic records. But I will defer to you HF because you have listened to a HELL of a lot more of the Post Gabriel than I have. Maybe we could hook up a trade sometime!

OUCH!

For the most part I've always found Steven's output on record to be rather tame when compared to live stuff that I've come across over the years. Manassas is a good example. The double LP is alright...but I taped a show on VHS many years ago on Night Flight that was a German TV show (Beat Club?). That thing SMOKED imo.

I love this post. Welcome, man! I can't tell you how many people I turned into Deadheads by dragging them to a live show. There's nothing like seeing the band live - you get the 'adult dose' in that regard. Btw, I ended up turning all of my family (wife 40, kids 24,21 & 18) into Wilco freaks. Now the problem is trying to locate 5 tickets (or more) instead of just 1!

Yeah, that's all I got. I wish I wouldn't have clicked on this thread, but like a NASCAR wreck I couldn't NOT look.

Oh, this is awesome! I don't think I have any Hopkins JGB stuff here. One of the books I have around here discusses Hopkins and his insatiable appetite for coke and hard booze. But, what a player! His fingerprints are all over some of my very favorite LPs - Beggars Banquet, What About Me and Beck-Ola just to name a few.

I remember that Sound and Vision tour. I was front row, got Belew's guitar pick. A look at my ticket stub - $27.50 + $2.50 convenience charge. I also remember seeing The Who on their "This is it, we're never gonna be back EVER" tour in '82. $17.50. At the time the most I'd ever paid for a show was around 10 bucks. We thought, "Christ, do these guys think their God or something? 17.50? That's outrageous!!". You can't even park your fucking car for $17.50 now - hell, the service charges are more than that.

The 6/9 show might be my favorite from all of '77. no shit. And the Help > Slip > Frank on there is esily one of the best ever imo.

True dat. Vibes, Anthony - hope it all works out for you real soon.

This post sums up my feelings nicely. It might just be "as close as you can get". There's only the X Factor missing (and we know what, or should I say WHO that is). As someone ( I think it was the David Kemper) once said, "being in the room with Jerry is a pretty damn nice place to be".

Jesus Christ, if that isn't the biggest pile of shit ever. Between Coburn and Inhofe the Sooner state sure does have a lot to be proud of.

Indeed. He was SO cool at the end of that game - looking so calm. Reminded me quite a bit of his brother of about 4-5 years ago. And that scramble with the little spin around before he dumped the ball off for a completion. Man, that was the kind of thing his old man could do.

Well damn, I thought you might be the guy. I had a friend (now deceased, sadly) who was a photographer and he did get to take some wonderful shots of Jimi, and actually got to meet him. I have a Hendrix book around here that listed his shows and evidently they did play in Indy once (with the original CTA opening). As someone stated in another thread Jimi was quite impressed with Terry Kath. THAT would have been a show to see.

Yeah. I don't play it very often - hell, I have so much live stuff lying around here as it is! But when I do I always go for the Poor Places > Spiders. That combo was, and is, still my favorite thing they do live.

When you compare BW's original post with some other phan message boards his statements seem rather tame. I don't concur with BW but it's not like he (or she) was being downright mean-spirited and hateful. It's just an opinion, as disagreeable as it may be.

Chinese Apple, maybe the thread title should read "Hey bbop - how many Wilco shows have you been to?", cause that's something I'd really be interested in knowing. Or, maybe "how many Wilco shows have you NOT been to?". I keed, bbop. I think I've seen around a baker's dozen since '02.

I had a funny feeling that was the case!

I wonder if anyone here on VC ever saw Jimi play. Man, if I was just 10 years older...

I think so. But I'm a dreamer. Maybe we just need some of Owsley's finest in our water supply.
