Thanks for the preview! Nice recording although the front row dancer was a bit distracting.

Just scored tickets to this at my favorite intimate theater in Dallas. The Kessler. Here is how it was announced by the venue. Looks to be a limited three Texas city run with this lineup. Renowned songwriter, singer, true believer, Alejandro Escovedo released Burn Something Beautiful on October 28th, 2016 via Fantasy Records. The new album, Escovedo’s first solo endeavor since 2012’s highly acclaimed Big Station, is in actuality, a highly collaborative affair. Teaming with Peter Buck (R.E.M.) and Scott McCaughey (The Minus 5) to co-write the album’s songs, Escovedo also enlisted the pair t

i'm sure it was done because there was a option for a Kids pass. But i guess if you really didn't want them to know your age you could have just made up a date.

Since we are making SSV wish lists.Seeing the Jayhawks and the opening act Folk Uke perform last night in Dallas, they both get my vote and would fit right in.

I think they should play the new recored that is to be released in the Spring 2017 in its entirety. "Songs or Whatever", and maybe even give us a sample of the the songs from their Summer 2018 recored that they have already titled. "Meet the Beatles." That would really be a special SS-V!

That's why lists are for those that make them and nothing else. They had Terry Bozzio at 17 and he entertained me for over two hours with nothing more then his solo drum play. http://www.rollingstone.com/music/lists/100-greatest-drummers-of-all-time-20160331/joseph-zigaboo-modeliste-20160328

82. Glenn KotcheJohn D. Shearer/BEI/RexSurrounded onstage by what bandleader Jeff Tweedy calls his "in-Glenn-tions," Glenn Kotche brings Wilco an orchestral percussionist's sensibility, an indie rocker's experimental urges and some solid dad-rock chops. Kotche, who joined the band in time for their sea-change album Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, has outfitted his kit with a vibraphone, MIDI effects, gongs, a hubcap, tuned antique cymbals, pellet-filled ping-pong balls and an air tube connected to his floor tom. He sometimes "prepares" his drums by laying chains on them or scattering beads and rice acro

My 2015 slide show to we your solid sound appetite! #TBT https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTLTlDJr1A0

I always say they are the best american rock band still touring today.

Just got a heads up about this place from the place we stay in Williamstown. Looks like a fun stop for #solidsound17! http://www.onlyinyourstate.com/massachusetts/canopy-walk-ma/

Big music weekend for me in Dallas Tonight- Fred Eaglesmith Saturday- Kurt Vile Sunday- Lucinda Williams

Mob mentality is in music too. I really like the release, and i usually shed a tear when listening to Wilco (TS) when they play it live. BBN stands up to any song in the bands catalog. I even dig the Birthday camel!

Too bad the hologram technology isn't more advanced. This would be the perfect platform to bring back a 33 year old Bon Scott and have the band end were it left off while on the Highway to Hell.

Robert Plant & The Sensational Space Shifters. Dallas Bomb Factory. I just peeked at some recent setlist and looks heavy on Led Zeppelin.

Nels slide guitar, Glens drumming and Mikael Jorgensen's playing; whatever it is he plays, is simply mind blowing during the instrumental parts of space oddity.

It might be time to tap the brakes on my concert plans for this year. When only after I book a trip to see Jeff Tweedy in Chicago on May 14, do I realize i already have tickets to the Cure in Dallas on May 15th! Although the R&R gods mast have been directing my itinerary. My flight gets back at 5:30 just in time for the 7 o'clock Cure gig! smile emoticon

It's at the around 47 min mark of this documentary. I have binge watched most of the youtube stuff. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRiTngOAQps

This was taken from a good friends facebook post yesterday i thought i would share. He is one of the most passionate Bowie fans i know: In 2010 I was in talks with David Bowie's management to do a documentary restoring Bowie's vast video archives in the process. My team at Post Op and I put together a trailer for the proposed doc which is up on our homepage now. The doc didn't happen but David watched the trailer 5 times and loved it. One of the greatest moments of my professional life. http://www.post-op.com/

Got all my passes and badges the band was dumping on reverb and just got it all organized, and even made my own frame because no one could promise it by Christmas. I'm gonna wrap it up and put my wife's name on it (she digs the band as much as me ) but we all know who it's really for!

Nice piece on teamrock.com Also mentiond is one of my other favorite artist, Steve Poltz and his band the Rugburns. http://www.teamrock.com/features/2015-12-02/a-metalhead-s-guide-to-americana Uncle Tupelo were the Metallica of Americana, fronted by two visionary and perennially-feuding songwriters – Jeff Tweedy and Jay Farrar. Uncle Tupelo would eventually implode from infighting, not unlike the Dave Mustaine days of their Bay Area colleagues, and split into two of the movement’s most important bands (Wilco and Son Volt, respectively). Unlike Metallica however, this line-up yielded four m

There is a lot of really cool stuff especially if you play. I don't play but i did pick up one of the back stage badge memorabilia lots. A heads up and some advise, you might just want to make a offer before just buying it. I did for much less, and it was accepted.

I can't see where this is posted here but there is a lot of cool stuff the boys are selling from the loft on reverb. Here is the link. https://reverb.com/marketplace?page=1&query=wilco

We called it the hot box. In the middle of a hot Summer day in North Central Texas. Me and my neighborhood click would take turns and get in a camper on the back of a pick up and crawl between the two bench seats and have pillows inclose us, shut the door to see how long we could stand it. Busting out of that camper drenching with sweat when we couldn't stand the heat any longer.
