  1. Sweet heavenly sweetness... i think this will be year 4 for me?
  2. It is undeniable the Abba had the best fart solos during their concerts. I was privledged to witness the 24 minute fart solo during their ill-fated cover of Dazed and Confused in 1978. Never should have lit that lighter near the end.
  3. look for a 64 minute version of "It's Just That Simple" on the next non-Tweedy Wilco tour
  4. Burned is one of the most under-rated NY songs fer sure
  5. Never made it to a LR show but hope to one day. Love the time of year from T-giving to Feb when there's a few acoustic shows to attend in town. Sue and Jeff really do well for their charities by doing good for their fans. I love all the recordings, but they are incredible privileges and not rights. The real concern taken away from this thread is Sue's lack of an avatar. We'll have to form a committee and get her one for the holidays.

    UIC Night 2

    The proper is etiquette is the slow sneak. Slowly moving up closer and closer until you are finally playing the drums. It was a weird crown last night. I was about 30 rows back until the first encore break and then moved to the back to hear the sound and it was pretty good back there. Actually an older, more appreciative crowd in the back genuinely excited by the last two songs... had a few very nice young college-aged folks near me asking me about Far Far Away and Nothingsever... it was nice but man all of a suddent I am an old man at rock shows, Oof
  9. Ageed that the show was great. I was half way between the soundboard and the stage and just rocking out. BUT never felt so underdressed at a Wilco show! omewthing about that scene was notwhat I am used to.. maybe it was a all the daters or the folks all dressed up but kind of a weird vibe for Wilco. Band performed great. Thought there was a weird bit of tension before ITMWLY about the gong, but loved hearing Kamera and Far far away. Tremendous!
  10. Probably one of the greatest Senators of the last 100 years. I'm a NEer and I had the honor of watching him work to take care of those who needed help, to help reach the America that can be. I saw him speak on the floor of the Senate and met him during a campaign once. If you like things like weekends, racial and gender equity, the freedom to date whom you want, and conceive when you are ready then you probably should thank people like Ted Kennedy. It's terribly sad that we have lost a serious dedicated and reliable man who could have sailed away into a life of higher priveledge but instead st
  11. Nice to meet you too! Glad to hear that you had a good time in Chicago. That was an awful fun show. We are lucky in Chicago to have the shot at these kind of shows a few times a year, at least lately. Looking forward to the next one!
  12. Thanks for putting those up! What a fun night. Nice to meet you and your hubby! Bwahahahahaha
  13. And Jeff continued "Do you have one called Airplane to Heaven?"
  14. I think I was right behind you (sitting next to he VA couple).. same experience. Spoke with Sue briefly at the end after talking with Jeff. Dorks unite!
  15. Great time last night at the temple! Interesting song selection... A few other notes to add: big thumbs up to The Dude for the lyrical assist on Pick up the Change. Jeff was trying to remember the end of the first verse and came down to the front row, got the lyrics from The Dude and returned. Dude, almost snapped a picture of you and Jeff conferring but it did not come out.... Before skipping Jesus etc, Jeff said something like "not going to do that one right now" Crowd: "play it" Jeff retorted: "You don;t even know what I was going to play" Crowd "Jesus Etc!" and one guy shouted "Capo o
  16. My tix are at will call... does anyone know what time the meet-n-greet is? Before? After? During?
  17. I will be partaking of the snacks if not the beer. Since no one took me up on my offer to paint chests I am doing the full body paint. And I will be hollering "Forever Young" from my seat all night. Forewarned is forearmed!
  18. Section 114 Row T, the good news! Probably will have to be in North Carolina on that date, the bad news
  19. was at Pitchfork on Friday for YLT which was great but again too short... sounded good from up front. Wish they would come around more. Great version of Spiders performed in Brooklyn with our boys
  20. looking forward to it! Did you ever get the 2/13 or the 2/14 show? Bummed that it has not shown up yet...
