  1. I wonder if he does it all as an act vs mood etc. heard he mentioned it in NJ last night that folks say he is moody. Might just be a fun stage persona etc.... Like the way he always says something good or not bad and then clarifies it that only 60 70% of you are bad comments etc....

     

    You figure he wants folks to listen so that is enough to get you uptight when he has chatterboxes..... Also if he obstains from drinking watching obnoxious drunks try to ruin a show for fans or the band is probably hard not to comment. I sure would...... In Richmond he mentioned about someone paying a shit load for the show just to talk.

     

    Also looks like he has lost some weight. Friend mentioned that Adrien Grenier (Vincent Chase Entourage) would be perfect to portray Jeff in his life story movie.....Jeff is looking younger these days....IMO

  2. I smelled some weed around the time I started hearing him, so there's probably a connection.

     

     

    I doubt that was the problem. Maybe too many beers.

     

    Saturday in Durham Jeff was in great mood interactive etc. Richmond he was not happy with all the chatter. Why shoul he be. Wilco spends time trying to recreate their music live and would appreciate the audience listening to the perfection not talking about NCAA or who you laid last week.

     

    Not sure why american venues dont make it strict like broadway or movies and kick people out if they talk or disrupt someones elses enjoyment. WILCO should add it to their introduction with a little more emphasis on Shut up

    or leave.

     

    It has been a pleasure not having everyone documenting with camera phone or shoot and point holding them up all night etc. Again think of your neighbors.

     

    As an artist it must be hard to get up and perform to a bunch of talking heads. I am sure bands prefer the discipline of European fans when asked to listen.

     

    Roger Waters Spit on a dude during a Pink FLoyd tour and they quit touring after that due to people being inconsiderate. Neil Young walked off stage in Baltimore after asking people to stop taking pictures and that was in the 70's. I was worried in RIchmond they might not play as many songs etc to make a point but Wilco is above that.

     

    Hats off to Jeff for trying to make everyones evening of music even better.....

  3. also did One Wing after side with seeds.

     

    WOrds can not describe this show.....INcredible. Place was on their feet for the entire show. Sound was sweet and the show flowed better then any other Wilco show I have seen. Jeff was in a delightful mood. Lots of banter with crowd especially when he ask someone in audience to turn their tshirit inside out and then brought him on stage to show the ugliest T shirt ever made. It was an artistic portrait of Jeff.....said it was so bad he missed a lyric due to shock of seeing it... Also winner of raffle was standing front row center so he handed her the prize.

     

    Best part of show not allowing cameras or cellphones. It was so nice not having people taking photos all night with camera phones...

    Thanks WIlco....

  4. They put the link up 15 minutes early, but as far as I could tell, the tickets did not go on sale until 12. I scored tickets at 12:01 to the Durham show. I tried again a few minutes later to see if there were any left and they appear to be sold out.

    I kept trying richmond for like 1/2 hour... Figure chances slim to non but I worried the scaplers got them early...

    Glad u got one. if u here richmond ticket floating around hit me up

  5. It will be interesting in more bar settings if crowd will listen to Jeff and shut up. I remember in Myrtle Beach they had to rock out due to the Bar noise at house of blues....Is National the only bar stop on tour most of the venues seem sweet like DPAC etc.

  6. In politely declining a request for an Uncle Tupelo song in Miami, Jeff pretty much said that Wilco is going to play Wilco songs. So people shouldn't be getting hopes up for anything but the Wilco catalog. :pirate

     

    I have no problem with DAT>>>>> just wondering if they might play a few old ones since acoustic set is in....
