Sorry to hear that. Peace to you and yours. Vince

12/1? Man, I sure hope this makes its way into the 3-night St. Paul run next month....

Ticket is sold.

Something called "Markiplier" tonight with the middle kid, who doesn't do the shows that my daughter and I like. Spreading out the dad points...

I counted 30 on the first "page" of the oversized setlist, and there were about that many on the second page. A little over 2 1/2 hours... Pretty loud, pretty fun. Really good crowd. They have quite the cult following - most folks down front were from way out of town it seemed.

Guided by Voices (an evening with!)

Apparently cows can vote this year.

Drive By Truckers played The Waiting and Southern Accents last night here in Lexington. Really sweet.

wrong thread, but I agree 100%.

Definitely of interest to me, so thanks as always for the recap... and good to know the Nova is holding up well this tour. See you in Atlanta! Yeah, this latest hybrid version is chilling. The version at Solid Sound this summer (outside at Joe's field) was especially breathtaking.

Well done!! Can't wait to see it all come together!!

Orchestra Right, Row E, seat 6. Face & fees $102.... Pat's side, plus you get to sit next to the coolest peeps on VC. Can email the PDF or TM transfer. Vince

Wow, good for you! Not easy, but onward and upward for sure. Enjoy the change and I hope you love it.

I remember reading something when KT came out where Jeff was saying that the live version on KT was much more of a "performance" of the song as compared to the studio version which had a lot of overdubbing and piecing together of the final version. I got the feeling that the KT version (AGIB tour) was the first time they did the version we all know today.

Wow, can you imagine such a thing? Tsk, tsk... Last time I heard that song live was on my 50th birthday (which happened to coincide with Stan's >50th birthday), and they sang it in honor of that. Jeff introduced it by saying it was one of their "edgy" songs. It's a real treat!!

Thanks Paul (and Joe!!) - a great read on this Sunday Morning. One can only imagine Jeff scanning the room for a sign, finding none, and deciding to save it for the upcoming tour. I approve. By the way Jeff, that would be Atlanta and Asheville, just to be clear. Vince

I agree. I saw the same show at Indy last Sunday and it was excellent. And while the prices for the good seats are pretty expensive (not unlike other really big acts lately), having the $70 GA floor tickets is a pretty nice gesture for fans imo.

Unlock my body, and move myself to dance.

Blind Boys of Alabama

U2 & Beck

From the "grasping at straws" file, this was posted on the Loft's instagram account a couple days ago : May or may not even be a Wilco person playing it. But someone (or something??) is making sounds with a musical instrument in the Loft this week... https://www.instagram.com/p/BYeM966lbAR/?taken-by=theloftchicago

^ Great to hear from you Poonie!

Many Happy Returns to you, Jeff! Vince

Hey thanks for the playlist! Really appreciate that... enjoying the journey. And Bee Thousand, Alien Lanes, and the new one are damn good. Thanks all. Come to Lexington on Oct 6 and I'll buy you a beer at the show! Vince
