"I am an American Aquarium Drinker" = I am an alcoholic So "I assassin down the avenue" = I drink and drive... It seems to me to be pretty solid as an interpretation, although it is of course debatable... But this seems (to me) to be the best explanation. edit - Also, I thought that in I'm The Man Who Loves You the solo is played by Jay Bennett? Isn't AGIB creditted as "Tweedy's first guitar solo album"? This has always confused me actually so it would be nice for clarity.

I loved this show! After getting lost going there, ending up in the ghetoo, getting pulled over for being white, getting lost again (and thinking the cop's directions were just to fuck with us), and then finally arriving, all I could think was 'They better play a good set list.' And boy did they. Sky Blue Sky songs are so amazing to see live, I couldn't stop (literally) giggling the whole time... people were giving me weird looks. haha! Their encore was my favorite part. It went from a pretty typical but great show to just an old fashioned concert, with the whole band just rocking out. This

going w/ 3 friends. can't wait

I shit my pants when I heard Wilco. At first I thought it was Nick Drake for some reason... like, I heard it and I was like 'What is that? I recognize it.' and didn't even think of Wilco since they're never on anything... it definitely made the episode better. I agree with the above post that dumping the body was dumb as hell... I hate both of those characters anyway though.

I hope the next album is more freak-out-guitar. I love Wilco, and SBS, but some of my favorite stuff by them is the weird stuff (YHF, AGIB). SBS is a nice break from all that, but man... I really want to hear them tear it up.

I can't believe they havn't released a DVD yet. I wonder what they're waiting for.

I've always loved Jeff Tweedy's lyrics. I'm a songwriter myself, and a major part of my writing goes into lyrics, which I think is why I like Wilco so much. Jeff Tweedy has commented a couple of times on how he writes songs, and I think it's in 'Learning How To Die' that he says a bunch of the lyrics on Being There were just made up as he went along, never really written down, but would just evolve with the song. This struck me as odd since I write songs the same way, just coming up with lyrics on the spot, and then later editting them to get a meaning across. This way of writing, I've found,

Thanks a million for the fast posting of the recording. Just starting this now, and I'll seed as long as I can. Can't wait to listen. Thanks again, and hopefully I'll see some of you guys at Eagle's Ballroom! Can't wait.

God damn! I'm killing myself right now... I had a chance at a free ticket to this show, but it would have required driving down there (6 hours) and back (6 hours) and then working for eight hours and so I figured 'Nah. It'll probably just be a typical show...' and I'm seeing them on the 9th of Oct... but now I wish I had taken the chance. That's a perfect setlist. I think I speak for all of us when I say that the sooner we can get a recording, the better. What was Spiders like (someone said it was different?)

hahaha no way is that Jeff singing. He sounds nothing like himself! Haha thanks so much for sharing this it's good to hear Wilco mess around.

Wow I didn't know there was another set (Engineer set) of YHF recording! Kickass. Thanks for uploading.

I'm pretty sure he's thumbing a B during that second part, if you play it open. He does it on the 9th fret of the D string, I think. It might not be a B though, but he's definately thumbing some note.

It sounds like they mean D on the A string, which would be played x57775 as a bar. A lot of music notation programs automatically put in those chord diagrams, so their addition of 'on A' could have been put in before the program started adding diagrams and they didn't think about it. Honestly though, it's weird. This is just my best guess, since 'on A' always means 'on the A string' when I hear it.

That's awesome. I was singing one of their new tracks from Sky Blue Sky while at work and my manager asked me 'Was that Wilco?'. I've already been in love with her for the past like two months (not real love, just playful kind) and so I proposed to her right there and then on the spot! Haha. Wilco has this great way of being subtely there, yet when you find out about it you can share this great relationship with someone. I think maybe it's becuase of a certain characteristic that's found throughout all the people who really LOVE the band. There's something universal in the listeners, the real

Man, almost a year later I realize I came off as prick when I posted in this thread about my girlfriend at the time. Anyway, any girl who would swoon to Far, Far Away is cool in my book. I took a lady to see JT solo and she cried during Sunken Treasure and let me just tell you--that is one of the most attractive things possible. That being said, nothing will ever top Reservations. It may not be as warm and cuddly as most of the songs, and it doesn't translate into guitar, but the lyrics are so straight-forward and beautiful--especially in the context of an album filled with conflicted fee

I'm in.

Yeah, I heard one of my friends mention that Wilco was on the radio. I have no idea why, of all the songs, they picked 'What Light' to be their radio track? I like the track, but it's definitely not what I would have thought they'd choose. The only reason I can think of is that it's short, whereas tracks like Impossible Germany (which is my favorite on the album, maybe Side With The Seeds) is too long. I'd be interested to hear what stations are playing it, my friends didn't remember. Is there a website for that kind of stuff?

I like that setlist, sounds like it was a good show. Hopefully I'll get to see them next year in Europe, it will be like a home-away-from-home kind of thing.

Someone needs to get this stuff on Youtube so I can see it, lean back, grin to myself and nod.

Can someone please re-post the Jeff Tweedy cover of Neutral Milk Hotel? The link's down.. I would kill for that track. Thanks to everyone who's posted, I love this community!

A great performance, although we sat way too far away for it to be all it coulda been. The drum solo was awesome, though, as was most of the performance. Unfortunately, my two favorite live songs weren't played. Muzzle of Bees I can understand, but why didn't they play Via Chicago?

For me I started getting into that whole "indie" / Pitchfork Media scene--listening to Modest Mouse, Postal Service (before they became super-popular and when I thought they were indie), Nick Drake, The Shins, etc. All those bands that are psuedo-popular now but never played on the radio. Anyway, I had always heard 'Man you've got to listen to Wilco they're the best!' but I never gave them a shot until one day I took YHF off my brother's computer and put it on my iPod so I could listen to it on the way to school. I listened to it every day for at least a month, then I moved on to A Ghost i

I just hope they do Via Chicago on the 25th. I love the live version of this song, it would really make my night to hear it in person. Also I hope they do Muzzle of Bees because I want my face melted off.

bumping this for Was I In Your Dreams solo tab

Damn it! I knew I should have come. Two shows in one week would have been amazing... too bad they're so damn expensive. Looking forward to the recording once it gets posted. Glad you guys had a good time!
