Madcap

They've talked about changing the format?

very excited that Jeff has been on the road this month, should hopefully do away with the occasional "rust" we get at these shows!

very cool, hopefully I can tune in for a bit. I wonder if the outtakes and live stuff will all be previously released or if there will be some new nuggets in there? (and if those will be released!)

Maybe this is inappropriate, but could anyone PM a link to Together at Last and Mermaid Ave Vol 3? I bought those vinyls this summer to round out the collection and due to the lack of DL card I can't get them on my ipod. Again, I apologize if this is inappropriate but I have a hard time justifying paying for an album twice!

Anyone ever see DJ live? How is he?

http://pitchfork.com/news/daniel-johnston-announces-final-tour/ Jeff and friends backing Daniel Johnston 10/20 at the Vic. Anyone seen him before?

Finally relented about picked up the yellow copy on my walk at lunch. Looking forward to giving it a spin this weekend, even though my expectations are relatively low. Seems like it could be a pretty great lazy sunday morning on the couch album.

For some reason, the album not coming with a download is really turning me off to buying it.

I was really on the fence about this show after the relatively static setlists in Chicago, but thank god I went. Poor Places, How to Fight Loneliness, Monday, Muzzle of Bees and Forget the Flowers, hell yes. Energy was great too once people started standing up.

Damnit that was a fun show

that's kind of cool, will vote for summerteeth even though I won't be there.

I'm very excited that In a Future Age is on there, just wish there were more deep cuts like that!

Interesting. Would have been great if it was new music, but I suppose between Sukierae, Star Wars and Schmilco we've been pretty spoiled in that regard as of late. Kind of disappointing there aren't more deep cuts instead of tracks like Hummingbird, Via Chicago, etc. Since the website describes this as "Session 1" I wonder if there will be more releases in the future.

I really wish that this was in a location more conducive to me getting to go, it sounds awesome. Oh well, living in the Chicago area I can't complain about anything Wilco related! Maybe someday I'll take the plunge.

Didn't even realize there was a presale today until I saw Wilco's tweet and long story short a second row dead center aisle seat was too good to pass up so it looks like I'm going to Milwaukee after all!

ugh, do I want to go to Milwaukee? My head says no - I saw all 4 Chicago shows and this will be exactly the same, plus its on a sunday AND father's day. But my heart says - dude it's Wilco and only an hour away, go!

In my 30+ shows, I think the only thing I haven't really seen (besides Schmilco songs) is a non-hootenany New Madrid. I could go for a hell of a lot more than my 2 Pieholden Suites though.

First listen is pretty good, but not great. A few of these tracks should be absolute bangers live. I like that they're experimenting and evolving while still sounding like Spoon. Will be hard to ever top Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga in my mind though.

that is a hell of a double bill

Damn, New Pornographers are also in town that Friday so it looks like it's Saturday only for me this year.

Not sure if it was because I had my best seat of the run, if it was because they played a bit longer than they had or because I finally let go and accepted the structure of the setlist, but this was my favorite show of the run (just ahead of Wednesday). Really liked the On and On and On opener and Say You Miss Me is one of my all time favorites. Was kind of bummed that it seemed like we were going to get the same encore as Wednesday, so the Monday, Outta Site, I'm a Wheel trio to close it was even better. I really hope they do a Milwaukee date this summer since I'm guessing it'll be some ti

I came really close to asking the people behind me to pipe down a few times on Wednesday and Thursday. I'm with you guys, I just don't understand it at all. It's one thing if you're seeing a band at a bar and you paid a $15 cover, but this is $100 to see Wilco! Shut up and watch!

8:30 sharp

I love concerts, but concert crowds are generally not my favorite. My wife and I were in box A which was just the two of us, which was amazing in that regard haha.

Wilco isn't a jam band, but 5 non repeated songs is pretty extreme even for them. Still holding out hope for some more Schmilco songs tonight!
