  1. What a great evening in my hometown! I was born and raised in South Bend, was at Coveleski Stadium (The Cove) for the first game ever there. I just had so many great memories returning. South Bend has fallen on some hard times in recent years. Most of the industry that was there has moved out, the west side ethnic neighborhoods are half boarded up. I haven't lived there in a decade, but I think it really meant a lot to the city to have Wilco come and play for them. It's not often that I come home and see everyone I grew up with in such high spirits. Thank you Wilco! Friday was the highlight to my summer. Oh, and musically, it was one of the best (non residency) Wilco shows I have seen. Great mix of old and new, great banter, great everything!

  2. I know this is a bit early, but if anyone would like to trade their two 100 level reserved seats for 2 GA floor seats, let me know. My lady friend is only about 5 ft tall and I feel bad dragging her to another GA floor (I'm 6 ft 3 so it works out ok for me). Hopefully someone can work this out with me and make everyone happy!!!

  3. I'm halfway considering taking a few weeks off work and heading to Spain for these shows. I've never been there and this seems like a great chance to get out of the states this year. I am hesitant to go solo. Hopefully I can try to convince at least one person. Anyone else considering this trip solo from the US?

  4. Saw Ryan Adams after he cleaned up, and it is one of the best shows I have seen/heard.

     

    Not to threadjack, but Ryan Adams fans hold the audience in contempt these days. A whiny bunch they are. I love seeing his shows but if I get yelled at 1 more time for standing up during the end of his set I'm gonna flip.

  5. Anyone hear any rumors flying around? If I'm not mistaken, Wilco did not play a NYE show last year, correct? Is it possible that they're done with the whole NYE thing?

  6. What's worrying is this vein of mediocrity seems to have caught on for quite a while now and I just wonder will the next album be more of the same...

     

    Kick Nels Cline out for a start and we might see some results...

     

    Dude, maybe Tweedy should just start drinking heavily and getting all fucked up on pharmie cocktails. That's pretty much the equivalent to what you just wrote.

  7. no they are not, they are an American band who has clearly been influenced by radiohead

     

    I've never heard any sort of Radiohead influence in Wilco's music. I'm curious though, where do you hear this?

     

    As for the comparison, Wilco is not nearly as big of a band, or as innovative as Radiohead. Don't get me wrong, I love both Wilco and Radiohead, Wilco more, but I just don't see the comparison.
