  1. Thought I would post the link to the Chicago Lighthouse charity which had a booth at Jeff's scholarship concerts. Looks like a great organization and the gal i spoke with at the concert last night was very artculate about the mission of the group. I have nothing to do with the organization, but thought it was worth passing on to the community http://chicagolighthouse.org/programs-and-services/youth-transition-services/-chicago-lighthouse-scholarship-program
  2. "What Light" was really well received and I have always loved the tune. Jeff was kind of surprised how well it was received (lots of singing along). What's the consensus out there on the song? I'd love to hear it performed more often...
  3. "random guy in crowd" here... that was a strange moment, and clearly Jeff is not into hockey enough to get the reference. I think the D-bag near you was going for a repeat of the "Single Ladies" vibe from last year with disasterous results...I sang a bit for him and he looked like he swallowed a furball. After the exchange above I said to him , I think a hockey game just broke out and he gave me a funny look and launched into his next tune... overall, except for a few douches, i thought the crowd was pretty great. And the guy Jeff sang dir3ectly to, in the front row, is a long time Wilco fan.
  4. Another great show, with a much more varied set list than last night. Started a bit late, so no banter for the first 4 songs. Can't remember whole set list but some highlights were What Light, Ripple, So Much Wine, Screen Door, Monday, One Wing, Sunken Treasure, Acuff-Rose (on a National guitar), among others. Nice to see our Wilco family tonight. Travel safe all!

    Schweet. Thanksh Schue
  11. He did seem a little out of it, defintely "into" the studio work, is my guess. Pretty much all of the songs were standards, though I loved hearing New Madrid done well and the new tune was realy good. When he came out the "it's just me" line was priceless. Also the "Chicago is the greatest city spiel was hysterical in that everyone cheered along, and then he slowly roasted himself with (paraphrasing) "I know because I have been to every city in the world... every single one... and they all have something slightly sucky about them, but not this one" hope thre's a Montessori benefit or two
  12. Such a great event. wish I could have seen it, but looking forward to more good things in the future
  13. Is the Dude heading down to the show? i should try to make it...
  14. That was an incredible night! I really can't get over it. Jeff and Sue's stamina, patience, generosity and grace were really impressive. I don't know how they do it. Thanks to everyone for putting it together. Loved hearing far far away, so much wine, elt, new madrid.... the whole enchilada...loved seeing people play with Jeff... The wish you were here sing along at the end was indescribable...Even with the amazing setlist, there were 20 more songs I'd love to hear...amazing artist, that jeffro
