    How not to be a loser when meeting the band...

    in Just A Fan

    Posted

    The moment came and I opted out. Kind of decided I wasn't going to get anything out of meeting them. A few of my buddies did and though and seemed to have a good time. I think my socially awkward tendencies would have kicked in too much.

     

    We did see John casually walking around the venue (Avila Beach show), kind of just wandering in with the crowd. Very tempted to say hi at that point, as it seemed more natural than the meet and greet, but decided he was probably enjoying being unnoticed walking around at his own show.

     

    Show was splendid btw.

    Some really cool stuff showing up on You Tube

    I would love to have heard Tony Margerita's conversation with the LA musicians union in which he stipulated that the string section had to be as hot as possible.

     

    I think that it is actually "The Section" an LA based group that has played on a bunch of peoples records. They play used to play Largo often so i'd imagine Glen knew them if no one else did. Good group.

    Liam was on the list and since they haven't hit the West Coast I guess he can stay there. How about Two Cow Garage or Drag the River? Or maybe Jon Brion. Yeah Jon Brion.

     

     

    Also I can easily see Wilco headline with DBT opening. Or a split bill like DBT did with Son Volt a few years ago

    I don't think Jon's going anywhere for a while, but even if he were, I would still suggest that you come to Los Angeles. His show there has some new twists, and the club's crew has also made some adjustments that extend the night's festivities. Also, there's a nudie bar across the street if you get bored and a real d-bag bar next door in case you want to see more of the cliches that L.A. is better known for. It's a win-win!

     

    Looking forward to the Nels/Jon show tonight!

     

     

    review? Also whats the new skinny at Largo. How does the pre/post thing work in the little room?

    Still unsure about the Autotune voice at the end ...

     

    Could be wrong but I think it's a Vocoder not an AutoTune. I'm liking the track more and more, if they had released it we never would have heard the end of "American Radiohead" comparisons though.

    I'm not a huge fan of concerts in general, precisely because I don't like having to share Wilco/other music in public on other people's terms.

     

    Shit. I have been trying to articulate that feeling for years now with no success. Thank you.

     

    My only problem is that I love hearing the music.

    Wilco's Favorite Venue 6/27/2009 Berkeley, CA

    Loved the show, killer set list but I have to say this is the first time i've encountered a large number of very rude people at a Wilco show. I don't know if it was the venue being sold out (which was quite a sight) or something else but it kind of took me out of the moment to encounter people being so rude. I suppose thats part of the deal as the band gets more popular.
