appreciate the link, but just a friendly FYI:  the site does not allow the posting of Wilco concert videos.

Thank you - deleted.

I emailed about tonight - the 22nd - I hope it's still available!  Thank you!

The show has certainly started - txt from a friend and twitter excitement.  I hope the setlist is updated here (or a link to somewhere it is being updated.)

According to the tweets I'm seeing, Cars Can't Escape is the opener - I didn't see anyone guess that one!

Dwight Almond = Duane Allman - though that is pretty funny. If you don't know who that is and just guessed - not bad, AND if you are a fan of insane guitar solos, get thee to a record shop and getcha some Allman Bros records.

Just back from the show and still blown away! The best Impossible Germany I have ever heard - Nels was on a different plane and the rest of the band was in awe during that solo/song. I think Dawned On Me is going to be a rocker for years to come. What a weekend!

one sunday morning - poor places - art of almost was a hell of a way to open.

I agree - they set the tone early and really kept up the pace all night - very good show - great crowd, too.

Nick's set was a treat! Anyone know if he's been mixing up his sets nightly? I'll probably get there in time to catch him either way, just curious.

Last night was rockin'! Wonder what's in store for tonight?!?

I don't post often but I live here in Nashville and I'm going to both shows. I am so excited - I can't believe the weekend is here already!

I don't know if it's been covered here yet, but the Autumn Defense is playing an acoustic gig at the Family Wash tonight - 9ish - I think it's booked solid but it's just a $7 cover and it's a fun, small venue.

Here are some places to check out while you're in town:

For pricier higher-end cocktails and hipsterness - No. 308 and Holland House - fun, creative menus but even more fun drinks and cocktails. Dino's, right next door to No. 308, is a greasy-spoon, smoky, dive-bar/burger-joint - so you can experience both ends of the hipster spectrum if you go there! Mas Tacos Por Favor is across the street from Holland House - they've got wonky hours but it's worth making a visit - outstanding tacos - byob.

Hillsboro Village has a bunch of fun bars and restaurants - it's pretty heavy on the college scene and all that goes along with that. Boscos makes decent beer and they've got a reasonably priced menu.

If it's beer you're after - Yazoo is where it's at - I don't know their hours but they've got a fun website and tours and a huge taproom - definitely worth a visit if you're a hop-head. Hands down the best beer in Nashville!

I prefer Robert's Western World to Toosties though they are both fun - Robert's just has a better mix of higher quality music if you ask me (which you didn't). The opposite side of the street has smokier, but cheaper bars - the beers and shots are considerably cheaper in the joints across the street but the music isn't as good and I'm not a fan of smoke.

The Flying Saucer has a ton of beers on tap - regional chain - OK service - bar food menu - good variety of beer. The Beer Cellar downtown has a similar mix of beers but it's less trendy and more touristy.

East Nashville - this is where it's at as far as I'm concerned - I'm a bit of an East Nashville snob - 5 points has 3 Crow Bar, Red Door East, Beyond the Edge, Batter'd and Fried (none of them are outstanding for any reason on their own but the bar hopping was fun (if I can recall back to my pre-kid days)) - further up Woodland, you've got Lipstick Lounge and Mad Donna's - fun karaoke nights and fun crowds - hook a left onto 14th and a right onto Eastland and follow that to Eastland Cafe - great drinks and menu - a little on the pricy/fancy side - Ugly Mugs (Great coffee), Jeni's Ice Cream (unreal ice cream) Silly Good - great restaurant, Cooper's on Porter - fun beer/restaruant. Further on down the road, you'll run into the Family Wash - it all comes full circle.

That's probably far more info than anyone wanted, but it was free. Let me know if you want to know about anything in particular, I'll try to help.

Way too excited!!!!!!

Just got back from the show and it was outstanding! They rocked loud and sounded great - it was tough to tell thay hadn't played together in such a long time. 7 nation army encore - Icky Thump - Death Letter Blues - Jolene - can't remember them all but it was a great night. I just got lucky when the tix went on sale and am really glad I did - that was soooo much fun. Highlight wsa the crowd clapping nearly triple-time during the last verse of 7 nation army and Jack and Meg were struggling to keep up - Jack let out a big laugh and a "Wow!" and they just friggin rocked it - it was too much fun!

The place was packed and way too smoky - I guess I'm just getting old but I am really annoyed by the non-stop texting and phone using and chatting about real-time analysis of second by second events - there was just a ton of chatter throughout the night which really surprised me - such a tough ticket and a rare show - why chat and talk all through it - typical nashville show I guess though - I should probably get used to it.

Man what a night!

First post - odd it's here. I moved from DC to Nashville about 5 years ago. I miss the heck out of DC but I really love Nashville. The folks are really nice and the music is crazy - the options for shows nearly any given night is unreal. DC is a great city (I'm from NY and miss it there too, but I loved DC) but Nashville is less grimy, gritty and self absorbed. I wish you the best of luck back in DC. I think about moving back every now and then but once I compare the cost of living, I'm happy to be in in Nashvegas eatin' rhinestones.
