You catch on pretty fast around here for a newbie Thats what I'v been doin' this evening... working on it. it took me until today to recoup enough from the 16 hour 800 mile RT i made to capture it on Sunday and real job duties waiting on Monday.

After 50 minuets and 9 songs of the boys blasting us with their outstanding play Jeff spoke... How ya guys doin'? (cheers) You know usually, when you go see a rock show, there is about a second or third song check in with the audience. Where you go, how ya doin? I'm not standing on custom tonight...i missed it, i skipped it...i forgot the 3rd song check in. So just a little old friendly how you doin? you guys doin ok?(cheers) I'm gonna do it twice now. How ya guys doin'? you doin' ok?(louder cheers) your doin' better than the first time i asked that's awesome.(cheers) I hope your enjoyin

At the Wichita gig there was a half ass pat down by security at the door, this of course seems to be just something security does to cover their asses in the event of a tragedy that may happen. It's probably done on the advise of some attorney. During the pat down security was asking if anyone had any pocket knives or weapons. I happened to have a knife in my taper bag that was searched but they did not find. I use it to cut straps off the mic stand for those of you wondering why i would have a knife. If someone really wanted to do harm to any band member or any person exposed to large groups

i have been attending rock shows for over 25 years and never have i been aware that jumping on stage was allowed, although i have seen it rarely. Unless it was a naked good looking woman. (this was the first time i saw it happened at a ZZ top show back in the "Deguello" tour. They let her dance from one end of the stage to the other but she never touched any of the band) Any other time i saw it happened the intruder were guys who were tackled violently by stage security and removed from the stage and i assume arrested. If this dumb ass who jumped on stage at the Springfield gig or anyone

is there any pre gig gathering for eats and drinks going on close to the venue? I'm leaving out of here around 12:30 for the 5 and a half hour drive up I35. i'd kinda like to have a place to unwind after the drive. preferably not in a rain soaked line into the venue. dave

All i have to say about this show is Nels Cline is GOD!!!! As for the recording... you will not be disappointed! check it out: http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=116613 enjoy! dave

Devendra Banhart Neil Young has him opening this years Bridge benefit show and after buying his new record "Cripple Crow" i know why. This record and the New M. Ward are my favorite releases of 2006. check him out. http://www.cripplecrow.com/

I agree! i saw that same set at Newport and they were the biggest surprise band for me the two days i was there.

Anyone want a sneak unedited peek of the Portland gig? i have two copy's ready to ship for anyone willing to share it here on Via Chicago. I would like to trade for some other Wilco related DVD's. If you want to send me a pm with a list of your DVD collection i'll choose one. Please re-reoffer this back to the board if chosen to trade. I just got this two days ago from a fellow taper i met at the Crystal Ballroom that evening. It's his audio with balcony shot video. It's good for a audience project but what i saw of the trailer, it does not compete. BTW i know there is a forum on t

There is a nice source on the dime from 9/12/06 for anyone that wants it. http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=111885

goofy comment?!?! re- read the shit you just wrote? That's a goofy comment. Check back in 20 years when Dylan and Young are gone.

I'm up on the 22nd in Denton, Tx and I am damn near as excited to see him as i am to se Wilco when they Play Ft.Woth in Oct., especially after reading that outstanding review by Solace. I agree 100% about his guitar playing ability, it is very good. I also thought it interesting Solace compared him with the Neil Young slouch guitar posture. I see a bit more Tweedy posture when he's on the acoustic then Neil but IMO he needs to be mentioned more often in any sense when it comes to Young or Dylan. In 20 years i believe Tweedy and Ward will be regarded as the new Young and Dylan.

It will only impress the coeds that much more

Your worried over nothing. i'm not planning on asking permission to bring in my DAT. smuggle the bitch if your concerned. It adds to the excitement of the doors opening.

i would kinda like a 45 min solo Tweedy set to warm us up in Fort Worth and Wichita.

I faired much better during the public sale this morning for the Ft.Worth gig. LC orch row D! That should be right in front of Nels. As well as 4 in the first row of the center Balcony. I have a bunch of friends that will be turned on to Wilco in October! :-)

here are all the songs Jeff played on the solo West coast tour...
