Drastically different?!?!!? Come on, drastically different would be 10 constant songs (songs played every night) and 25 or so different songs from night to night. When in reality on on this tour, it's about 25 songs played every night and 10 or so that change. (Not a scientific statement. Just based on a quick review of recent setlists on the current tour. My numbers are probably off) Drastically different is what the Grateful Dead did in Boston in 91 (I think). They played 6 nights and only repeated 2 songs, total. So if you saw all six shows, every song was played only once except f

I agree he seemed to be having fun and was in a good mood. I sometimes think that people are oversenstive on the whole "cranky" thing. Like they're sitting there just waiting for the first little thing so they can go, "Yep, the crowd sucks and Jeff is cranky again. I told you he'd be in a bad mood". Yes, he made the comment about not understanding how people would pay to go to a show just to talk through it, but I took it as more of a funny comment than a bitchy one. I have to listen to the recording to make sure it went down like I thought it did, but I was really surprised by a lot of t

OK, I'm a total dunce when it comes to understanding anything more than the most basic lyric. Anything more subtle than say, Birthday by the Beatles, leaves me stumped. So please be gentle with me when I ask what is sarcastic/mean about that song? Me no understand. Thank you, friends Wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you I'm so grateful for all the things you helped me do. All the ladies and gentlemen Who made this all so probable Thank you, friends I rejoice to the skies Dear ones like you do the best i do As far as can see my eyes All the ladies and gentlemen Who made this all so

Dude, that is awesome! I love the wailing solo he does in the middle and I'm really impressed how he remembered the words and for the most part delivered them at just the right pace. Somehow or another, Wilco needs to see this. I could see it as bounus track or hidden track on their next dvd.

Based on the venue, I'd say a fair number of the audience will be sitting. But on the other hand, Wilco has more than a few songs that really are sitting songs, like Radio Cure. You have to be a pretty hard core fan, and even a harder core dancer to remain on your feet for that one!

I'm confused on the concept. If he's already a huge GD fan, why not just make him a Wilco compilation that covers all of their periods/styles? You could lay it out like a Dead show too......First Set - short songs, country songs, pretty straight forward. Second Set - long songs, weird noises and jams, etc.

I had tickets pop up for me twice, but when I went to the next step, I was logged off for security reasons or whatever it said.

Agreed. I'm glad their doing a presale but this method sucks. They should do what the Grateful Dead did.....go old fashioned mail order. You send them money, and the send you tickets. And very cool looking tickets too!

Really?!?!!? I'd be dancing the jig if I had a chance at 12th row seats.

Did anyone get tickets for DC (Bethesda)???

Thanks folks! My wife happened to be in Charlottesville, VA for work when U2 was there. She went to the show, and I, being a devoted and attentive husband, downloaded it for her. Now I want to check if he sang the Wilco lyrics at that show too. I kind of doubt it as in the little I heard, Bono did some ad libs about Thomas Jefferson and Virginia. Anyhow, thanks for the info. I'll post again if Wilco lyrics made it into the set.

A few months ago I (think I) remember someone posting about seeing a U2 show where Bono changed the lyrics to some song and inserted some Wilco lyrics. Did that happen? What (U2) song was it? What (Wilco) lyrics was it? Thanks

Here's "my" version of Someday Soon. I put it together from other posts in this forum and elsewhere on the www. Corrections and suggestions are always welcome. For the "Intro" riff, there are lots of little chord changes, like lifting your pinky on the B7, or your third finger on the A chord. I don't know the names of those chords but if you listen to an acoustic version and play around you can get a decent approximation. Someday Soon – Jeff Tweedy (Wilco) F#dim7 can be played: e---2--| B---1--| G---2--| D---1--| A------| E------| Intro: E E E (walk up) > A | B7 | E :|

Jerry Garcia played one for a while in the 70s

I guess I wasn't clear in my question. Over on Dime, there are 2 sources for the 18th and 2 sources for the 19th. I'm asking if anyone has downloaded each source for each night and if so, which is the best source for each night. For instance, this source for the 18th uses Neumann mics (he thinks, see the note on the page), so it probably sounds pretty good: http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=272506

Dime a Dozen has 2 sources up for each Chicago show from last week. I know some of you crazies have grabbed both to ensure you have the best quality show to keep. My question is, which one (each night) is the better source. Please don't make me download both!!!! Thank you for your support

Really. I love Pavement as much as anyone but damn they were uneven and indifferent as a live band. I saw them a bunch of times and mostly they were good. Sometimes they were bad and once they were amazing. I'd love to see them actually care about a live perfomance or an entire tour, but if they didn't do it in their heyday, I don't hold out much hope for the rusty reunion tour.

Bob Dylan - Blood On The Tracks Rolling Stones - Exile On Main Street

There's the Dead, and then there's the "Jam Bands". The only similarities are they both play long songs with lots of instrumental sections between the lyrics. To call the Grateful Dead a "jam band" is possibly the worst insult you could hurl at them.

Bingo. Like all their albums, these songs need to be played live a few hundred times to realize their full potential.

I don't play banjo, but I dabble in the ukelele now and then and I just use the guitar chords (in the uke shapes of course). You could do that with banjo and fool around with different fingerpicking styles.

Awesome, thanks!!

Thanks for the tips Dunder! I made some of the changes above (edited the original). I added the B7 in place of the G/F# and changed the appropriate Em to E. I couldn't figure out how to make the Em sound right between the C and the G so I left that one as it was. Sorry! Thanks also for the help with the riff! I've been playing that way too. I sort of play the "bottom half" of the G barre chord where I bar the first 3 strings with my index finger and hammer on and pull off with my middle finger to do the riff. Then I pop into a C barre chord and then back to G. It works well and it

Here's all I can come up with. Please help. Add the missing chords!! Alone - Jeff Tweedy D G Shakin' sugar from a sugar spoon D A Peppermint tea afternoon Alone, alone, alone D G Taking a shower take another nap D A Watching television take a bath Alone, alone, alone G Feel like a book, but I just cant start it Feel like a lover, brokenhearted Look in the mirror at the face in the glass Look like a question no one ever asks G Alone Cm G Like I'm supposed to be G Lone lonely alone Cm

Here's what they have at the Gumbo Pages: http://www.gumbopages.com/music/wilco/songs/red.eyed.and.blue.txt ::::::::::::::::: Red-Eyed and Blue ::::::::::::::::: by Jeff Tweedy Tabbed by Brian R. Kessler Here is a detailed explanation of how to play it, followed by a summary. For the intro, the guitar just seems to play an A-chord, with the piano adding the fill-notes. If you wish to play the fill notes on guitar, you will have to make the A-chord with your 2,3,4 fingers in a line, and your 1 (index) finger on the 1st fret of the Hi-e stg. I'll call this chord A1, since there
