yea, how is it? I have talked to Laurie a few times..... LouieB

Good to know VC is now a news source. LouieB

Which one?? According to Rolling Stone tickets to the Decemberists are hard to come by these days. Glad I saw them before they were THAT popular. LouieB

Ya know, if I hear one more person scream "Casino Queen" at a show I will scream myself. CQ has become the Wilco equivalent of Free Bird..... Two more lame thoughts. One, people here seem to WANT new material played at shows and two, the material off Summerteeth and YHF (and to an extent AGIB) is going to be identified and sought by the bulk of Wilco fans forever.

Thief's Journal by Jean Genet. LouieB

Those are the only two I have. I am interested in the covers album though. Personally I think Dog Days is the better of the two I have. LouieB

Now I know where I want to work when I retire..... LouieB

:lol Is this kinda stuff actually worth money? LouieB

Isn't the Violent Femmes version strange enough as it is? I would like to hear the other GB version too. LouieB

For sure....how many of you do something completely new at your job every day of the week? Do you give different answers to the same questions you are asked on the phone, etc. I didn't think so. No performer creates an entirely new act for each performance, they just don't: not Dylan, not the Stones and not Wilco. If you are tired of the act, go see a new group you haven't checked out before. If you like Wilco expect to see a similar act each time. Or go see Jeff's old bandmate Jay Farrar sing songs that all sound the same. At least with Wilco you get distinct songs that you can identify.

For one, ViaChicago is arranged dramatically differently now than it was just a few months back. Dylan certainly shakes things up to the dismay of alots of old fans (including me to a certain extent) that can't even recognize the tunes. Despite the Stones playing things somewhat differently (and admittedly I have only seen them once and that was back during the 70s) it is pretty much the same old shit. LouieB

Come on, that is just plain stupid. LouieB

I think this has been said before..... Actually Wilco changes up more than alot of bands who play virtually the same set every night in sometimes the same order. In fact there are veteran acts that have not only been playing the same songs for the last 4 years, some play them for 40 years (i.e. The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, most folk acts, etc.) LouieB

You gottta hand it to these guys for writing radio friendly material and doing some original vids for a change. LouieB

But at least he took that turn and did a good job in School of Rock as well. LouieB

I believe it was #3, but it certainly was within the first half dozen ND. I bet the article is in one of the compilations out there. They were good....but long long gone. LouieB

Almost all shoes are made in Asia (almost all clothes period),....don't feel bad. LouieB

Didn't John Hammond do this a few years back (yes he did...)?? I suppose this could be good. LouieB

I am over 15 and it embarrasses me.... LouieB

Yea, I get lots of mileage out of it.... In terms of how long these guys were around, between Big Pink and the Last Waltz was less than a decade. Considering the Before the Flood tour was in 74 and the Last Waltz was 76, they broke up fairly soon after. I only recall hearing about one other performance in Chicago, which a friend of mine did go to. Either way it kind of reflects a line from the Dylan song "Been a long time coming, gonna be a long time gone...." The Band really was a relatively short term band, but then alot of bands are I guess. And considering there were some persona

What I said is, if you don't like the new one, chances are you won't particularly like the old ones either. LouieB

I am going to guess that if you didn't like this one (which has been getting rave reviews...) you won't like the others either that much. LouieB

Hell i was born in 1950, but only saw them once. They didn't really play around that much, at least not in the midwest. I did get to see Levon and Danko one time though. LouieB

I have tickets for the Metro..but some one of the ops should move this thread... LouieB

Whoa..am I in line for a Nobel Prize?? I could really use the money.... LouieB
