I wouldn't, but maybe you can get a pass for being the first list replied! I know, so many tough choices, that's why I like this better than just "list your favorite songs.".

I didn't see this thread here in the searches, got the idea from other bands' forums, thought it would be fun to see here too... What are your favorite songs from the studio discs, track-by-track, in sequence? for example, Track 1 = One of (I Must be High, Misunderstood, Sunken Treasure, Can't Stand It, etc.) Track 2 = One of (Casino Queen, Far, Far Away, Someday Soon, She's a Jar, etc..) I treated Being There as two discs rather than a 19-track album, and included Mermaid Ave I & II. So many of these were toss-ups and could easily change in my mind from day to day, though tracks 2,5

Every Night Is Friday Night (Without You) - Old 97s (Killer Carslon! Nice avatar....)

I didn't, as i will be out of the country for Ed's northeast dates and for the Wilco fest. Sorry to miss them both, but I'll be quite happy where I'll be. And, I won't miss spending nearly 200 bucks on EV either. In 2008, I had to eat my 2nd ticket as I couldn't get anyone to go with me - most people were happy with the one show they scored tix to... The last couple EV/PJ tours, it took me about 45 mins of server madness to finally luck out. Congrats to to you for scoring a pair, it's just gonna get harder and harder each time out.

Saw Neko & Mavis last night in Tarrytown. Fantastic show. It was just Neko and Paul Rigby as the opening act. It was a real treat to see the acoustic show, even if it was the usual selections from Fox Confessor and Middle Cyclone. Mavis was great. Similar set to Solid Sound. Neko joined in for The Weight, she sang one verse in addition to backup.

Pearl Jam - Ain't Talkin Bout Love http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AcNjoM3kr8M They usually only do "serious" cover songs. Nice to see something fun and light, and totally unexpected. This is what they Call "OT, OTO." One time, one time only.....

I taped all of AD and Tweedy. Also am not an uploader/downloader. I will send a DVD with all the wav files to someone who is committed to uploading. I'm no wizard at sound editing, so the crowd noise will come in loud after each song .If someone wants to take a stab at editing it, I'll send to that person... PM me, serious responders only please. Thanks, Rob

They could do Paramount in Peekskill or Bardavon in Poughkeepsie, which are larger than Tarrytown. But I don't like seeing Wilco at venues where people sit the whole night.

I thought your other post said you did tape the Tarrytown show... I'm guessing you went stealth after this. Sounds like you ran into someone who think s/he is the sole protectorate of their workplace. Clearly, the posted signs and spoken announcements did not mention any ban against audio taping, which often is mentioned in the music hall announcements. The same thing happened when Wilco allowed photography, even SLRs. Some staff would say it's OK, others at the same venue would later tell you you couldn't, no matter that you had an approving email from Wilco's manager in your hand.... Sigh...

Highjacking an older part of this thread...I'll second that, No Code and Yield in particular are my two favorites. Any and all of their first 5 albums are great. Binaural, Riot Act and Avocado have their moments for sure, but they have this overall downward feeling and I rarely feel compelled to play 'em start to finish. Backspacer "brought back" Pearl Jam for me Not they they ever went away, but it started to feel like Yield was gonna be their last great studio album. Backspacer was instantly likeable with a mix of upbeat sounding, kick ass songs and songs with the broader appeal of Ed's solo

Hmm, I didn't see any of that in my section. But it does happen and I think that is reflective of the world at large, not just Wilco world.. People talk and text at all sorts of shows and times and places they shouldn't.

Oh yeah, John's references.. I chose the greek place for dinner instead. I wonder if anyone at HF recognized them. Haha... And the town really does go back to 1692, even a little further. Jeff mentioned the Castle too.

I wonder if they ended early enough to accommodate the masses taking Metro North to NYC. Seemed like a lot of people were leaving immediately after CA Stars and before the house lights came on, not even bothering to see if there'd be another encore. I hope Jeff or some form of Wilco comes back here!

Sure, but not for a few days as I won't really be home to photograph it & upload it. Maybe someone else can beat me to it.

The bird posters are awesome. But Tarrytown got a real treat. It's a tribute to Capt. Sully's Miracle on the Hudson, a huge guitar floating on the icy Hudson River with little people sliding down a ramp and holding onto lifejackets in the water. Very cool.

4 in 5 nights this week for me: Alex Dezen (The Damnwells ) Sunday JT Monday Old 97s Weds & Thurs

Sure will! I hope the weather is nice enough for me to walk there! It is a great venue indeed, even the folks in the back row of the balcony will be pretty close. Here's a a few pages of photos I've taken over the years there.

Maybe he really did mean Santanic, as in , "like Santana." I haven't enjoyed any of the openers I've seen, except for Mavis this August, and Ben Kweller (opened for Jeff in 2001). At first I thought, "who is this ugly guy with bad hair and skinny jeans, looks like he's from Long Island, doing Vanilla Ice... this is terrible." By song 2 or 3, I was hooked, and went to every show he played in NYC that year. -Rob

Most shows there don't sell out ASAP so usually their site is pretty cool in that you can pick the seat you want. I've often got front row side section as most people pack up the center section before the wings. For this show, people might have been better off going with their "quick pick" option. I have a feeling tix will be available for this show as it draws nearer, once people sort out who among their friends also got tix, and some leftovers will materialize. Good luck!

That was the photo they used when they photography ban was announced. As if to emphasize, "This is annoying to see this all night, don't do this too." Now if camera makers would just go back to making cameras with viewfinders and not make people rely on LCD screens, we wouldn't have this problem. -Rob

Agreed. Wilco followed the same procedures at Irving Plaza in 2004 (slightly larger venue) and getting in was smooth. The only time this procedure didn't work for me was when Wilco played Roseland, but apparently that was a venue-specific problem. (And Wilco have not played there since, thankfully. Bowery & Irving and much better anyway.)

Was there a way to order tix without the 8.50 mailing surcharge (Tarrytown show)? That's an obscene amount of money to mail 2 pieces of paper. Perhaps there was a will-call option but in my haste to get tix , I didn't see it. The default must be set to the mail option. Anyhow, I am super happy to have scored at least 2 tix (tried for more, no luck) as I live in Tarrytown!! I can walk there! -Rob

Stopped off I-76 in PA this summer and pulled into this place: And later I made a t-shirt from this logo: My gf spotted this one somewheres around Philadelphia this weekend. I like the font on this one too: Lastly, I spotted a Wilco office or factory about 10 years ago while taking a bus ride from downtown San Francisco to the SF airport. Didn't get a pic of that one though. -Rob

Excellent, thanks so much for uploading the show Mike! -Rob

I also taped the show (both nights actually, though my night 1 is incomplete.) I recently sent my files to someone who knows the digital trading world better than I, and hopefully that recording will be uploaded in due time. Until then, here are some samples from both nights, in MP3 format. -Rob File Name: Wilco-2010-0403-30BoxFullOfLetters.mp3 Size: 4.71MB | http://www.sendspace.com/file/zp9b3z File Name: Wilco-2010-0403-22-NotForTheSeasons.mp3 Size: 8.84MB | http://www.sendspace.com/file/ouwn4f File Name: Wilco-2010-0402-07-ViaChicago.mp3 Size: 7.78MB | http://www.sendspace.com/f
