  1. Nah you don't need anything just go on wilcoworld.net and you'll see it and you can listen right from there!

    Thanks... From what I was reading about wirecast, and if I am understanding this correctly, it allows video in addition to the quicktime audio. I am grateful to hear the show, but would love to see it too.

  2. Just wondering... do i have to have that wirecast program to listen to the webcast? cuz i dont have the necessary system requirements.

    I am confused on this also. Wirecast is only for Macs from what I see. Anyone with information on this please chime in; it would be greatly appreciated.

  3. I can't seem to download this song, but it sounds like most of the new songs Wilco is playing. I personally love the rockers. I would love to go to a Wilco show and not hear a single ballad or down tempo song. Bring out the ROCK!! (not Pete Doherty's) I dig well-written lyrics, and of course it's nice to have them together with great music, and Ashes of American Flags is a great song, but doesn't exactly rock my world, especially live. AM haters better move on, from the looks of this new album (I'll still be around)!

  4. "...That's it. Mr. Tweedy is a bringdown, a chronic ebb-tide personality. He might be depressing to watch if he weren't so irritable, and so good. Tetchy at the sound of acceptance, he fought with the audience members who threw it at him, mildly berating song-requesters. (One, yelling for the Wilco song "Radio Cure," was answered by a curt explanation that the easiest way to get him to play a song was to be quiet. The fan then yelled, at the same pitch, "Sorry!" It was an indie-rock moment.)"

     

     

    THANK YOU!!!! Someone spoke the truth. I may be incorrect, but I think you are referring to the solo show in Raleigh most recently. I literally felt sorry for the people who were unfamiliar with JT's typical response to vocal audience members. Berating is to put it mildly. However, I must say he gave an apology to one fan that he most particularly lashed out on. I did laugh at all his comments though, and thought, "he is an American heckler assassin."...It was a bit of a buzz-kill, but his talent surpasses that.

  5. The first word that comes to my mind is AWESOME. Was it just me, or was he on the way to playing Passenger Side when someone yelled something stupid, and Jeff said he couldn't remember how to play it?

  6. I know all of Wilco's records, but I haven't heard any of Tweedy's side projects yet, and I know he plays a lot of those songs at his solo gigs. I don't see any Jeff Tweedy torrents available: can anyone hook me up with one his shows? Would love to listen to for the drive, and get familiar with some of his songs that I have not heard.

  7. I'll be there...does anyone know yet if GA/Lawn tickets are allowed in the orch. pit? I just know i'm gonna get the urge to dance.

     

    Yes, indeed. I spoke to a woman at the venue when I first heard tickets anounced and she explained the premium seats were actually past the the orch. pit because these are the seats where you can see over people's heads in the orch. pit. Lawn is allowed right up front. That way you can jam to "too far apart" right up front. :)

  8. I think it's time for some new friends.

     

    I can relate; I live in Charlotte (2 hr drive) and can't find anyone to go with, and I have 2 tickets! Most commonly heard phrase since I moved here: "Wilco?" (much less Tweedy)... There was hardly a soul out and about last night - Kenny Chesney was playing.... Might have a SEC 200 E seat for someone who needs a "miracle."

  9. I love this song and that line... beautiful. The lyrics in the liner notes of the CD are: "I'm a notion." It sounds like it too. This song makes me think of being a total libertine and having no preconceived ideas of one's own death, therefore "a cherry ghost." Also defiant enough to be in control of one's own time to leave.

     

    Ahh, I think I'll just roll another one for the road; it's Saturday! :cheers

  10. Interesting comments. As I was listening to this CD, I thought, IMO, how fantastic it would be if just one night preferably in my city, Wilco, played the entire track list, in the same order, of AM as their main set. I guess as something of a Wilco history lesson to the new fans. This album is just so underappreciated.

    Yes!

     

     

    Before I read your post, I had the exact same thought! In it's entirety! I expressed on another thread recently, my disappointment at the same old setlists at the Wilco shows I have seen this year. I've made a few shows and have not heard anything from AM, and two songs from SummerTeeth (the obligatory Shot in the Arm and always pleasant Via Chicago).

    AM is an awesome record. Though different and maybe not as literate as later records (though I love, "I'm like a songwriter; you're the reason I've run out of metaphors"). IMO the rockers are great and I would love to hear more songs like Walken on the next record.
