I've heard that it might be general admission but the tickets I got Friday were for the "orch pit" and had rows+seats. The orch pit as they call it though is actually the main section w/seats at Chastain... which is quite huge. The view of the stage and sound will be great even from the lawn though, lets all just pray for good weather!

I went ahead and tabbed out the last 9~ minutes of the song for you: e |======================| B |======================| G |======================| D |======================| A |======================| E |======================| Just repeat that measure several dozen times after the intro.

Wilco is not a noise band, and simplicity in music is definitely not a bad thing. Not that the songs are even that simple if you really listen to everything that is going on in them.

Wow what an insightful review! Thanks for writing that, glad I checked this thread.

Arcade Fire's music could never contend with Wilco. I can't think of another band still making music today that has 4 or more members, all extremely talented. Wilco has 6 and if you count every generation of the band you can add several people to that number.

I've got Being There and AGIB, my gf has YHF and also Minus 5 - Down With Wilco.

I didn't like Hate It Here or Shake It Off at first but now I have the feeling they are quite SBS

Sky Blue Sky sounds kind of like Far Far Away because the first few notes of the riff in SBS are the same as the beginning of the solo in Far Far Away. Other than that the songs are quite different. *shrug*

You guys do realize that Nels has played a lot of styles other than jazz (like... every other style) over the course of his career. And its not like he plays exclusively jazzy stuff on SBS, which is what I was afraid of.

I got the leak but I plan on buying SBS on vinyl... I assume it will be released. Have every other album besides AM on vinyl, gotta keep the collection going.

It'd be nice if people would stop trying to compare and contrast the different iterations of Wilco's sound and, well, band members as well. Their catalogue is what it is and all of the songs represent solid musicianship. That said, Nels Cline does a great job on all the songs. I was somewhat worried that a lot of his guitar work would have the same kind of sound. But luckily I was quite wrong - his playing is all spectacular, whether its a supporting riff or an all out solo. You can't compare his playing to that of Jay Bennett. Nor can you really compare how much either guitarist added to the

Do people really give a shit about Pitchfork or think of them as a reputable voice in the music world? I always have thought of them as a complete joke.

Wow I never thought I'd see Wilco compared to Yes and the Doobie Brothers. I can understand not liking the album but are you sure we're listening to the same thing?

There were a lot of pleasant surprises all around. I was slightly worried that a lot of Nels solos and misc guitar work would sound similar but he has proven he can tackle pretty much any kind of sound. He does a great job with "Please Be Patient With Me" for example. I love the studio cut of Impossible Germany, Nels really gets to show off. The biggest surprise might be the piano and organ work. All the new members of the band really show their worth on this album. I didn't like Walken at first, its not as high-energy as some of the live performances I've seen. But after listening to the

I could use a PM link too if anybody would be so kind Thanks in advance.

I'm also waiting patiently for "In A Future Age." What a killer performance In the mean time I've figured out how Jeff plays "A Family Gardiner" for Scott McCaughey (its in one of the intros right after Satan your kingdom must come down): Its capo 5, the chords are: some sort of modified G, don't know the exact name e-0 B-3 G-0 D-0 A-2 E-3 Anyway we'll call this G*. The chords go G* -> Bm -> G* -> C/G (332010) -> regular G (320033) -> F -> G* You should be able to figure out how the chords are picked through by watching the DVD. He does something a little differe
