Really nice venue, and a delightful show as always. Finding out that Stan and I share a birthday was a treat, and I wished him a happy birthday on my way out. Favorite moment was hearing the "edgy" (Jeff's adjective) When You Wake Up Feeling Old. The park was really a great place to see Wilco. The areas around the edges were laid back and easy to grab a blanket or lawn chairs and take it all in, and the area in front of the stage was rockin but not at all a mosh pit except right on the rail. Great sight lines. Sound was really good where we were (about 25 feet in front of John). I reall

Thanks... it was a really sweet moment, and also pretty cool to find out that I share a birthday with Stan!

Thanks for all the info. Friday is my 50th birthday, and my wife and I will be at the show, but I know next to nothing about Rochester. This is helpful. We'll be there, and really looking forward to it. BTW, I am in the process of stuffing the request box with "When You Wake Up Feeling Old". Feel free to contribute... tas

best of luck in the upgrade... Did something change over the past weekend so that we're now "viachicago.org" instead of "forums.viachicago.org"? What will we be after the upgrade? Thanks for doing all this!

I'm sure he did... maybe Wilco trumps basketball, even in Kentucky. I suspect there were a few catcalls on the comment.

Shug, you're apparently not from around Kentucky. UK (Lexington) and UL (Louisville) are pretty big rivals in just about everything. Glenn went to UK, Lexington, and those of us who live in Lexington, myself included, are pretty psyched that Glenn went here. He did a stop here on his solo/duo tour with Nels which was fabulous. We keep waiting for the whole band to come back, but Louisville or Cinci is about as close we get lately.

very very nice... thanks for posting!

This sounds really interesting. Album Sept 11. First song download & tour info here: http://lovethisgiant.com/about/ I like the song. Wasn't sure what to expect, but I like it...

Roger Waters (null)

well, yeah, but I'm a pretty big fan... and it's a pretty amazing show... so my "once in a lifetime" has kinda grown to thrice in a lifetime...

I've been saying that same thing for Roger Waters. Going on Sunday for the 3rd time...

Maybe Pat will expand his "multi instrumentalist" role to include smartphone. (null)

Radiohead in Cinci

How is Carribou? Worth seeing or a skipper? (null)

well said, and I see the reality of that point. but don't you think that the protests and that overall voice contribute to that "cost" as well? I still think that the unrest, the dissatisfaction, the "voice" from a passionate & sincere group of people (whatever you want to call such an organized and sustained "movement") is recognized as a part of the cost and help push, or at least expedite, the outcome. Is it strictly a "rather than" as you said, or is there an "in addition to" working there?

does this mean I'm not going to get my t-shirt?

Put me down for a men's large on the tshirt. (null)

nice article on WW. http://wilcoworld.ne...-john-woodland/ Is this the same guy as this?

Not something you hear every day.

Got my Rochester NY tix in the mail today from frontgate. And the gas bill was zero because we're on the budget plan and running a credit since the winter was so mild! A very good mail day....

Very happy with an Onkyo 608 I got two Christmases ago. around $400 I think. the ipod dock was annoyingly expensive ($70), but accessories often are. favorite feature: "Zone 2" which allows you to drive a separate pair of speakers with something other than what's driving the 5.1 video in the main room. I listen to music in the kitchen a lot even if others are watching tv or a movie with the surround in the family room. other brands have that too, most of them also call it "zone 2".

It's a gorgeous song. It's patient and intense at the same time. I think it's the most "naked" thing that Jeff did on that record. AGIB and SBS had more of that kind of thing too, but Reservations stands alone on YHF. The outro is musically one of the most beautiful things in the whole catalog.

Does anyone know much about this venue (Highland Bowl)? Looks like a hillside in a park with a concrete bandstand. GA / standing only? Kinda nondescript.
