I'm beginning to think they only played 'Hell Is Chrome' for me personally on the first night in Bruxelles. This is not an issue I have a problem with.

Who knew that 'Aeronef' is French for 'toilets that look like the shows happened already'... I bloody well enjoyed this show though.

Booh to dropping hell for Ashes. Given the heat on the floor of Paradiso, hell got its revenge though!

Felt like a really fast set despite the length of it. Fnarr fnarr.

That set surely itched a few scratches on my bed post. Thankfully the locals only kept us up till 2AM post show, so I can mentally prepare for 2 nights at Paradiso.

50 + shows and they finally played my favourite song. The first song. I went home after that.

OH4FOXACHE!! 'Face', 'Bees' and 'Seeds' in the one set list? I'd need at least 5 beers to recover from those. Donations gratefully received.

OHFORFOXACHE! They better play Hell Is Chrome next week or I will be most upset. I'll give them 5 chances...

Bbop and I are going to submit our version of 'You And I' - we're just fighting about who gets to be Feist first... #Feistfirstfight

"instead of his usual voice, what came out was a slowed-down Johnny Cash-style drawl for the first few lines. This delighted the audience, and then Jeff switched to doing the song in an icy Germanic Nico style for a few bars" I suspect this could be the theme for the first night of Solid Sound - Wilco do a whole set of covers of their own songs as sung by other people. It makes complete sense...

Sounds like a great venue and part of town but I bet you got that special Canadiana welcome, eh?

It's obviously been a challenge to see how many! exclamation! marks! you can fit into a half! tossed! off! piece of 'writing'!!!

So if I apply my AIR (alcoholically induced request) algorithm to hear 'Hell Is Chrome' for the first time after drawing a blank in c.50+ Wilco shows, do you think I'm in with a chance this summer? Asking for a friend...

I endorse this citation as long as someone else is paying for drinks. #beerplan

To be fair, I've spent quite a bit of time with him and this is a pretty typical day...

Political discourse my arse, at least in Scotland he got a real full on fight! #wimps

I've been in Victoria on a Friday night and can confirm it's a party town. (And has some decent beer).

YOU CAN'T LEAVE US HANGING LIKE THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Did you get to see what kind of birthday card he got for Jeff - perhaps with laminated cats on it...?

Sounds like a guid Scots night oot - if it's not Scottish it's crap!!

Too much information!

"On a personal note, I watched this show with the slightest tinge of bittersweet feelings knowing that I will have to miss the entire upcoming run of shows in Canada..." You're not going to your 2nd favourite country (after Scotland) - with all your Canadania fetishes??? Bloody 'ell!

I think you're referring to Eric the Tour Manager who is also the ghost of Jerry Garcia.

So having seen around 45 Wilco (and Wilco related shows) in 12 countries in 10 years, I'm glad to say that I've witnessed only 2 fights. Both in my homeland. However my staff point out to me that the nationality of the gentleman concerned is in dispute. Purely because we couldn't make out a word he was saying due to his level of intoxication. We're currently pinning it on 'Russian interference'. It's a strange day of sorts when the guy you've followed around the world to see him work, comes to the place you work. Working in live events for over 25 years has taught me the old adage 'ne
