Thanks! My eyes started hurting proofing this, i'll fix it tomorrow. My files are on my office computer. I tried to get a list of songs per recored as well as tunes played as extra downloads but ran out of time today. I'll try to get that info as well. If we get the graph accurate, it will be easier to add to it when they play their three set three day Solid sound gigs next year.

Here's a chart of the songs played at each Solid Sound gig . The songs are listed in the order that they were performed during the first festival. Thus the first 30 songs are essentially the set list of the first show from last year. Below those songs are the songs introduced in subsequent shows. From my count it looks like AGIB leads the pack in songs played. 10 of the 12 songs from that release have been performed. There have been 63 different songs played, including two covers. And this year 6 live Wilco debut songs. Feel free to disect the rest of the graph into other categories a

One highlight for me was watching Nels and Thruston abuse their guitars for an hour while i was leaning on the stage. Structured chaos is the only way i can describe what i saw and heard. I did Tape it, and it was very soothing on the flight home, got me in a meditation state.

That's Pats guitar tech.

looks like seats on the floor in the hunter Center @ massmoca!

For me it's like comparing apples to oranges. Sax in a band to lead guitar. This is the quote about Wilco in the link... Like most of the great rock music made today, it seems that the sideman has largely retreated to the indie underground. In the 90s, Pavement’s Bob Nastanovich perfected the role of excitable onstage renaissance man, and over this last decade, Chicago scene veteran Jim O’Rourke has emerged as an indispensable contributor to recordings by Sonic Youth, Joanna Newsom, and Wilco. Speaking of Wilco, one of the biggest and most respected American rock bands recruited avant-

if it's suggested you have a problem and it's only on your desk top, consider what a therapist might suggest my issues are! After all i did spend two weeks carving the stump in my front yard! . Seriously though I'm glad your enjoying it. My 10 year old daughter who is starting to become more interested in photography then the Disney Channel helped a lot with the project. I just ordered a 24X18 poster of it for her birthday for her to hang in her room.

extended forecast! Goodbye Texas heat hello Sky Blue Sky! My link

solid sound map is up!

not sure of actual attendance but it was not overly crowded like most festivals are. I never felt uncomfortable with any crowd Wrist bands get you in and out of the festival, and there is really no reason to have to save a spot at any stage. Last year when Joe's field opened there were no other shows to see except for the one's at Joe's. Although the the lines started forming while other artist were playing around the ground. I guess you could set your stuff early in line to save your spot in line, but to me that's kind of self centered and not very cool. I'm pretty sure if you set you

Found it! The North Adams Steeplecats, witch are a team in a summer collegiate league, play host to The New Port Gulls at Joe Wolf field (not sure if it's named after the same Joe as Mass Moca's Joe) But It's a 15 min walk south from Wilco World aka Mass Moca. It's $1 hot dog night and the game time is 6:30. Sure would be cool if Nels plugged in and gave us his version of the National Anthem before the game. My link Thanks for the "likes" on my photo. It was fun creating. My whole family helped with the carving. And now the "Wilco stump" will greet everyone that gets out of my driv

Whats with the baseball at Solid Sound? I got this message from Wilco HQ Also my picture i submitted for the spring photo contest and that was chosen as a finalist was attached to my email! :-) not sure if it was random, or it was because it was my entry.

home field advantage will do that every time!

just thought i would put out a spark that might have turnned into a VC inferno!

i would classify it as friendly banter more then confrontation Dude. I never figured he would play either of my covers going in, Neil Young's "Razor Love" or Tom Waits "I don't want to grow up". But because i had never heard live "When you wake up Feeling Old" it would insure my getting that song. Anyway it's not so much me wanting to hear Jeff do a exact cover version of those song, it's just those are two songs i really like by artist I'm sure he respects, and i would have loved to hear his spin on either of them. Thanks to Jeff and Sue for the generosity with their time. it stil

commercial success and above average talent throughout a band will do that every time.

What, are you kidding? That's a bargan in Neil Young dollars! Shirts at his live gigs are 50 bucks alone and i think on one tour i paid 10 bucks for some official tour rolling papers!

Last time U2 played the Dallas area it was the crappy new behemoth Cowboy stadium. I didn't attend, but instead was at a Alice Cooper show at a small venue in downtown Dallas. On the way home after the gig there was a motorcade that i passes complete with Dallas PD leading and tailing the 5 stretch limos leaving the stadium. It was surly U2 in that motorcade. Looked very similar to a politicians motorcade. During the AGIB tour i waited out side a Phoenix venue, and after Tweedy greeted all of us that waited for him, he jumped into a POC late model Ford pinto and drove away. i would agree

looks like it could be 625 tiny pieces of LSD if Albert Hofmann would have been around to purchased the vinyl package. Got mine the other day and i must say it is one nice and unique packaging idea. I still need to digest it all, especially the paper.... (the news paper)

here are some samples. My link

Here is a snippet from Jeff about the insanity of what our security culture has become. It's obvious in this show, and obviously in our airports with the TSA, with the "FU because i can" attitude and bulling that goes on. I was in the balcony and was not affected, but what Jeff is talking about is, there was a large barricade set up in front of the stage that seemed about 10 feet from the stage to the railing from my view. Almost like a SRO pit area. The security at the stage was not allowing any one to go up to it. Including those that had front row seats. Through out the show the fans

"Pot Kettle Black" and Jeff's ghost joke... http://www.zshare.net/audio/899573780f1e8db4/

it was the closet thing i could find to the mental picture i was getting from Paul's post. Great meeting you and your crew last night.

Wilco in a lecture hall tonight at NTSU! Will most likely be the best class i have ever taken!
