Jeff: When was the last time we were in Richmond
Me: '97, 13 years ago
Jeff: 13 Years. 1997, You must be from here sir
Me: Shaking hand at Jeff as although I lived in Richmond for a long time, I'm not from there
At that point his attention shifts from me down to the aforementioned guy and the "You weren't even born in '97" comment. Jeff had been sitting that guy and one or two others on fire with his eyes for most of the night. At one point he looked directly in the the direction where some of us were standing and told someone to shut up. I though he was fucking with Charles (the photographer) but it could of been someone just over his head. He also told the token guy cutting up to the front to settle down. Off mike we heard him tell John that the crowd was great during the "Jesus Etc" singalong. Just for the record he smiled quite often during the night asnd seemed to be having a good time in general.
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 the comments in this thread and a couple others about Jeff's cranky mood in Richmond.

"Thank You Friends" is certainly one of the most sarcastic/meanest songs I've heard. That's what I love about it. Considering Jeff's comments regarding the chatty portion of the crowd, I'd say ending the main set with that made perfect sense. Anyways I was just glad to hear that be the Chilton song they chose to cover.
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 probable
Without my friends i got chaos
I'm often a bead of light.
Without my friends i'd be swept up high by the wind
Do, do.......
All the ladies and gentlemen (i said all)
All the ladies and gentlemen (i said all)

Here is my three year old son Jack doing his version of Handshake Drugs. I've never been more proud.
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 guess the demand for the DC show was pretty big (Bethesda) because no tickets ever popped up for me. Just got logged out, put in waiting rooms etc.. Oh well, guess I will try with the rest of the people on Friday.
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.
-
the automatic "logging out", is fucking ridiculous. WTF? does Wilco management really know about this rinky dink ticket co operates?
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!
-
I had the option for 2 in row M, but that's 12 rows deep, so I passed.
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.

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:
-
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

I'm there.
Hopefully they'll practice first this time around.
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.

Hyperbole much?
If you think that's true, you:
1) haven't listened to much by the Dead
2) are completely unaware of the entire genre of Jam Bands
Either way, run along now.
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.
-
wait two years, then ask this question.
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!!

We've Been Had riff -----------------0~~~~-3 -3~~-3~~-3~~-3~~-1~~~~-0 -3h4-3h4-3h4-3h4-0~~~~-0 -----------------2p0h2-0 -----------------3~~~~-2 -----------------------3
Sounds meatier that way, it's probably what you're looking for. In the verses, on the second line of each ("On a Marshall stack" and co.), there's a brief Em in between the C and the G. Walk downs are probably better written out as C/B, Am/G. In the bridges, the G/F# should really be B7, the Em after the C ("Every star that shines in the back of my mind" line and all variations) should be a straight E. Otherwise at a quick glance it looks pretty good.
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 a close enough approximation of what Jeff plays.
Thanks again!

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 will be other A fingerings that we will have to use.
By the way, Jeff seems to use a lot of A-chord fingerings, as evidenced by
this song and, similarly _A.M._'s "I Must Be High", where he seems to use an
inverted D-chord triangle fingering (all mushed together at the 2nd fret),
for the A and just slides his 1-finger down for the next chord, Amaj7.
A1: Chord (drawn like a guitar) Fill (drawn like tablature)
(numbers mean fingers) (numbers mean frets)
e .-----.-----.-----.--- e --------1-----
B |-----|--4--|-----|--- B --2--0--------
G |-----|--3--|-----|--- G --------------
D |-----|--2--|-----|--- D --------------
A |-----|-----|-----|--- A --------------
E '-----'-----'-----'--- E --------------
>>> (A1)We've got solid-state technology
>>> (F#m)Tapes on the (F#m maj7)floor
For the (F#m) to (F#m maj7) change, just put your 2-finger behind your
4-finger after the (F#m). The letter 'O' means make a barre with your
1-finger, like this:
F#m: e .-----.--O--.-----.-----.-- F#m maj7: e .-----.--O--.-----.-----.--
B |-----|--O--|-----|-----|-- B |-----|--O--|-----|-----|--
G |-----|--O--|-----|-----|-- G |-----|--O--|-----|-----|--
D |-----|--O--|-----|--4--|-- D |-----|--O--|--2--|-----|--
A |-----|--O--|-----|--3--|-- A |-----|--O--|-----|--3--|--
E '-----'--O--'-----'-----'-- E '-----'--O--'-----'-----'--
>>> And some (A2)songs we can't (F#m maj7/F)afford to (F#m)play (A7)
For this progression, make a four-string barre for the A-chord (just don't
strum the Hi-e stg - I'll hereafter refer to this as A2), walk the bass-note
up, then pivot the 2 and 4 fingers around for the last chord (A7).
A2: e .-----.--x--.-----.-- F#m maj7/F: e .-----.--O--.-----.-----.--
B |-----|--O--|-----|-- B |-----|--O--|-----|-----|--

E '-----'-----'-----'-----'- E '-----'-----'-----'-----'-----'-
>>> But when we (D)came here today (Dm)
The (Dm) should really be played as a barre chord up at the 5th fret, to sound
the same as the record, but I just play it open, at the nut. It's easier that
way.
>>> All I (Fm)wanted to (Em)say
>>> Is how much I (A1)miss you (add fill after the line...)
>>> (A3)Alcohol (A/G)and (A/F#)cotton balls (Dm/F)
(A3) is how I make an ordinary A-chord. Most people seem to like to put
their 1-2-3 fingers in a line at the second fret, but I like to use the
D-chord triangle, and just mush them all together at the second fret. This
puts my 3-finger on the 2nd-fret, G-stg, which makes for an easy change to
the last chord in this progression.
For the (A/G), I reach up with my pinky to catch the G bass-note. The (A/F#)
may actually be an (F#m7). In either case I just hit the F# bass-note with my
thumb, and play the rest of the A-chord.
For the (Dm/F), don't hit the Hi-e stg. You can hear that he stops his strum
on the B-stg. To make this chord, just keep the 3-finger anchored at the
2nd fret (from my recommended A-chord fingering), and pivot around it.
A3: e .-----.-----.-----.-- A/G: e .-----.-----.-----.-----.--
B |-----|--2--|-----|-- B |-----|--2--|-----|-----|--
G |-----|--3--|-----|-- G |-----|--3--|-----|-----|--

B |-----|--2--|-----|--- B |-----|-----|--4--|-----|--
G |-----|--3--|-----|--- G |-----|--3--|-----|-----|--
D |-----|--1--|-----|--- D |-----|-----|-----|-----|--
A |-----|-----|-----|--- A |-----|-----|-----|-----|--
E '-----'--T--'-----'--- E '--1--'-----'-----'-----'--
>>> And some (A2)drugs we can't (F#m maj7/F)afford on the (F#m)way (A7)
Same walk-up as before.
>>> But when we (D)came here today (Dm)
>>> We all felt (Fm)something true (Em)(Em add F)
>>> Now (A1)I'm (add fill on A-chord)
>>> (F#m)red-eyed and (D)blue...
Closing part: I like to play the riff over the A-chord part, then strum the
full chords for the E & E7. Play this twice (obviously).
A A E E7
e -------------.-------------.------------.-------------
B -------------|-------------|------------|-3-----------
G -------------|-------------|----1-------|-1-----------
D -------------|-------------|----2-------|-0-----------
A -------------|-------------|----2-------|-2-----------
E --5-5-5-0-2--'--5-5-5-0-2--'-0----------'-------------
Then, for the whistling bit, the chords are:
A-D-Bm-Bm
A-D-Bm-Bm
A-D-F#m
A-E
Then for the two piano chords after the fade out, simply...
G-A

Set Lists
in After The Show
Posted
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 for two songs that were played twice (not all 6 nights). But like someone said, the GD play much fewer songs per night (but much longer songs) so they were able to keep their setlists very different.
