Yea, I agree, a Dead or Zep cover by Wilco sounds dreadful and a Phish cover would induce mass suicide here. LouieB

Nah..new bartender.... They play really late and don't even start until 10 or 10:30. You would have to take the el to 75th street and get the bus from there. Not starting the discussion about how safe or not safe it is. LouieB

Greatest post ever...Happy Fathers day to all too....Hot in Chicago as well. LouieB

Bravo......see you there... LouieB

I was going to post this also, having just read it. It's the NY times..it is a style thing.... i thought this article explained alot about his behavior, although TG seems to think the substance abuse continued through Lollapalooza last year where he seemed rather out of it. Glad he made it through. Perhaps better days (and records) are ahead. LouieB

Too bad, that was a good one too...sometimes exposure can be over-exposure. Are these showing more on cable than free TV?? I wish I thought that was funny. LouieB

Okay so this is obnoxious, but I keep feeling each time I see Von Freeman that it may be the last time. He was great the last time (a few weeks back in May), but the crowd was light and the usual bartender was gone, although she did come in to drink with the patrons rather than serve them. Von is verging on 85 and just like with Fred Anderson (the other Chicago tenor legend) who just returned to stage after 6 months with health problems, Von's run of luck could run out... Anyway I plan to be at the New Apartment on July 3 and stay longer than usual if possible. Anyone else going to be i

I have yet to see any of these other than on YouTube. Let's get it going VW, Wilco is waiting on the checks...these commercials seem to be in rather light rotation... LouieB

Whats wrong with the old vinyls?? LouieB

Oh well Me too You must live somewhere where radio really sucks..., I remember. Theologians was played so often (and I really liked that) that I couldn't stand it. XRT has a remarkably small playlist. My kids and I call it WXREM since REM is played nearly every time we turn it on in the car. Yesterday they featured REM all day. I like REM, but come on... By they way I think VC should be given credit for the the title Walken...had people on here not picked up and kept talking about it by that title in the early days of it being played, I am guessing the title would have been

Those are what Wilco world sells. Summerteeth isn't available anyway. Buy what you can and then you have it. LouieB

Once again I watched this guy first time out back when TV was black and white.....I wanted to be a science teacher as a kid so maybe that had something to do with it. LouieB

I disagree with this (in a friendly way), I think they fit in rather well. Wilco must dig them because they are doing this entire leg of the tour. LouieB

I wasn't there and you were, so your report must be correct (unless you want to argue with the guy who said they got little attention.) LouieB

Walken seems to have taken the place of What Light on XRT as being played every few hours. LouieB

Did they at least play "Let's fight" afterwards? LouieB

Oh and if anyone is interested in a copy of album 1 on vinyl I found two copies that can be had for $10 each. They really don't appear to be that hard to find anymore. The idea of a $40 copy of this is ridiculous... LouieB

See the Low thread...this was my fear. LouieB

I hope so..I think they deserve it...but I have seen Wilco fans be pretty rude to many an opening group. See the Davenport group..someone reported that no one listened to them. LouieB

I know it is tacky to quote yourself, but one of my coworkers had this package at work yesterday and it looks pretty cool. I may buy at it at some point. LouieB

Funny.... LouieB

I listened to the famous Zombies album yesterday (well the first half) and I think I need to give it many more spins.....It sounds interesting, but not yet the masterpeice I was expecting. LouieB

Uh...I think that is my point...I have never seen MMJ, but I suspect they have a bit more energy than Low. I think Low is great when you are in the mood, but I keep thinking that they may hit alot of Wilco fans exactly the wrong way. Opening acts often get the shit, simply because everyone is up for the main event. LouieB

Interesting article in the NY Times this weekend... LouieB
