Sorry that you don't have a job. I think things are a lot better but still very tough.

Great setlist...

Wow. the number of people on public assistance go up during the worst recession since the '30's? And this is Obama's fault? YES, you are right. He only doing what all sane economists suggest. Without such a measure consumer spending which makes up 70% of the economy would have weakened even further ('cos get what? people spend their unemployment checks), unemployment would have increased even further and the economy would have gone into a deadly negative spiral with no bottom in sight. But let's suppose Ron Paul had been in power. He would have vetoed aid for the unemployed, help for the

Great review of the show here. If you get a chance, read the comments. Only in Canada would someone apologise for their behaviour after a show. Very funny. http://www.straight.com/article-600321/vancouver/wilco-leaves-hungry-fans-happy-orpheum

To me it sounded good on the floor but definitely loud. I know what you are saying though. Thought the mix sounded less clear as the night went on.

Loud rocking show, same opening 4 songs as Vancouver, same four final songs as Vancouver. On at 9.00 and ended just after 11.

8th Wilco show part of a brilliant weekend in Vancouver. Up in the balcony which didn't quite have the energy of the floor. Loved the new songs live especially 'One Sunday Morning' which was gorgeous. Being selfish I would have loved to hear a couple more. Rocking encore. For me the show sagged just a tad in the middle. Probably heresy but I would have swapped any of 'I Am Trying...', 'Handshake Drugs' or 'Impossible Germany' for something played less often. 'Spiders' acoustic is dull to these ears too. Given the wonderful acoustics of the Orpheum where you can hear every note of the guitar pe

"From the shotgun shack to the superdome" Er, cringe....

Thanks for sharing. Anybody get a bit of a Television vibe off this particular song? I can definitely hear parts reminiscent of "See No Evil" and "Venus De Milo". I'd love to see a more energetic band support Wilco. Looking forward to seeing White Denim in February.

Think there is a decent chance that they will play Coachella in April (weekends of 13/14/15 and 20/21/22) and do some SW dates in between and around this.

Come on, when we were younger we all did the same thing. Coming from Europe I still find American audiences strange - in Scotland it was every person for themselves. If you could push and shove without getting a slap you earned the right to be upfront.

http://3voor12.vpro.nl/tv/#/41396395/45343471/4 Just linked by Wilco via facebook. "One Sunday Morning" kicks it off! Doesn't look like it's the full show but still fantastic.

That is one incredibly rocking encore! Great start to the set too. Like others glad to see some staples spend a little time on the bench. Is there any other current band with such a rich back catalogue and such a fine new album?

Lengthy and interesting interview with Michael Stipe from Salon.com on the end of the band http://www.salon.com/2011/11/14/michael_stipe_why_r_e_m_called_it_a_day/

Agreed.

Really fun, odd and cool!

A shocking rip-off - $125 to get those six songs. Yet another example of U2, Inc. taking priority over U2 the band.

Indeed - what a purple patch for the band. I know they struggled to make "Achtung Baby" but I am yet to hear a bad song from that period. The B-sides - "Salome" and "Lady With A Spinning Head" are fantastic too.

Hope you'd agree it's a great song. For me one of those ones that lodges in your brain really quickly for all the right reasons.

Agreed. Love the vocal harmony in the chorus and backing vocals near the end. Is it trite to say that this is better than anything on the last two albums? It's effortlessly good and catchy.

I thought the acoustic version was really good too.

I am sure I am not the only one who has noticed an inverse relationship between Bono's hyperbolic blather prior to every new record and the quality of its contents in the last decade. I think my favourite chestnut was describing "How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb" as U2's "Who's Next" before it came out. U2's "Face Dances" might have been more accurate. There was a definite artistic progression with every record from "Boy" through "Pop" (maybe with the exception of "October"). Since then they've played it safe. "No Line On the Horizon" had some interesting ideas but isn't any great leap fr

I'm afraid the answer is probably no. They are my generation's Rolling Stones. Artistically they haven't been relevant (despite all the Bono-driven hyperbolic hype) for well over a decade. They only continue to exist to make hundreds of millions of dollars by touring. Nothing wrong with making so many people happy by doing that. But maybe a little more humility and perspective would be refreshing.

I have had it for some time. I like you love this record. Great songs poured out of him from his eponymous solo debut through "Stanley Road". Was lucky enough to see him play at the Albert Hall in late 1993 and late 1994. Both tremendous gigs and the first one is my top five all all time. He was reveling in his return to form and the critical and public reception to "Wild Wood". If you can track it down the CD single of "Sunflower" has a stonking live version of "Bull-Rush/Magic Bus".

"The Running Down A Dream" documentary might be the best music bio I have ever seen. Really interesting and devoid of all the usual cliches. When I got the netflix envelope with two DVD's totaling 4 hrs I thought I'd never get through it. It flew by. "You're Gonna Get It" is my favourite Petty album. Not an ounce of flab on any of the songs.
