Son Volt opening for John Mellencamp. Wilco opening for REM would be in my "America's best band opening for formerly America's best band" category.

The only positive about that lineup is that you will be able to score VIP day passes on Craigslist for next to nothing on the respective Sunday's. Everyone is too tired after two days of music, throw in hot or rainy weather, a crappy lineup and you will be able to score a kick ass ticket in the VIP section on the cheap. The only way it is worth going in my opinion.

Maybe it was just me but Box Full of Letters sounded as good as it has in years. It seems like in the past, Nels has improvised a bit and added his own flair to several of the older rockers (which is totally fine) but last night it sounded like 1994 era Wilco.

Despite my concerns about the crowd it was a damn fine show. Third row center, was the closest I have been to Wilco since the gig at Antones in Austin in 1999. We ended up standing during Via Chicago and never sat down (despite a couple pleas from people behind to sit down). Not quite the set list of their October 2013 show at Stubbs (that was one for the ages) but was nice to hear some rarities nometheess. Jeff was quite talkative including remarks about how often they have played Heavy Metal Drummer and Jesus Etc. He also had a great line questioning why they set up Glenn's gong, despit

I had to eat my two extras. I couldn't give them away. Oh well, it's worth it to be 3 rows from the stage.

I just checked my Stubhub app. There are about 40 pairs of tickets for less thing $20. Two pairs for under $10. Unreal.

It's portable chairs in the lower or orchestra level and standard balcony seating up top. I was able to trade up my seats in the back for third row center (section 102, Row C). I have seen Wilco here twice when it was the Verizon, but this is the first time they have done seats on the floor.

Looking forward to tonight's show. However, I am quite surprised that it's not even close to being sold out and lower floor tickets are currently going for $18 on Stubhub. I have two extra that I am trying to unload and would like to get close to what I paid. I hope a bunch of empty seats doesn't put a damper on the mood of the band.

I Thought I Held You- I hate that Jeff hates this song. One of my top five of all time. Reservations- This one hit home hard when it first came out Please be Patient with Me- I always felt like this was a continuation of Reservations in many ways.

I have two extra for Houston on 4/23. Floor section 104 row C, aisle. Let me know if interested.

It's also my least favorite song on the album...Wheels Dont Move and Exiles also sound like leftovers from The Search but everything else is fantastic. But yeah, your right, it does sound very similar to Circadian Rhythm.

Be Not So Fearful (that doesnt count does it?)

Post of the day!

I loved the soloing on At Least Thats What You Said, and that was all Jeff! Tweedy IMHO has become such a strong and creative guitar player over the years and that album really showed that he could stand on his own...That being said, I personnaly am tired of Nels Cline...He's great at what he does, but that jazzy guitar tone is beyond old...I was never more saddened when JB left the band and I could go on and on on how huge of an influence he was in the Wilco band...I probably saw half a dozen Wilco shows from the time JB left the band to when Nels joined...In fact I was at one of the first s

I have yet to see hardly any negative reaction to this album on this board...As a longtime Wilco fan and lover of everything Tweedy and Farrar related I can personally say that I have loved or at least liked everything that Tweedy has put out...The same cant be said for Farrar...However as I mentioned in the Son Volt thread and earlier in another thread, this is the very first time that upon initial listen of a Wilco album, I was immediately turned off. Does that mean that Iam going to quit listening to Wilco, quit attending their shows (many of which I spent a great deal of money flying to

Nice! You guys seem to have a similar taste as myself...Am I missing something here, in not digging the new Wilco?...I feel like the odd man out.

I completely agree....I think you are in for a very pleasant surprise...I have loved all of Wilco's work to date but much like Son Volt, I beleive each proceeding album is less than the previous effort. American Central Dust goes against that pattern...Right now I would rank it right behind Straightaways...If not for a couple stinkers, it could be considered in the same breath as Trace and Straightaways. I will wait until the new Wilco album hits the stores before I give it another listen but I had the same reaction as when I heard Jay's Terrior Blues...And that is not a good thing, imho.
