Sinead wasn't exactly booed off-- she got a lot of boo's (and some cheers) and stood there silently waiting, with her death glare....then she defiantly blasted the audience about freedom and walked off in a huff, if I remember right Kris Kristofferson was there consoling her. I've seen this show a couple of times on tv, it was great - the performances by Lou Reed, George Harrison, and Neil Young were standouts for sure, and there was a really nice collaboration on My Back Pages with Harrison, Young, Petty, Dylan. GH also introduced Bob who played a really killer It's Alright Ma solo. I don'

They'll probably do that like they have before (audio only).

Just the slides here too..no sound

Yeah, sounds like hateful with an Australian accent.

Jeff seemed cranky for the first part of the Lewiston show last summer, but he warmed up later. Based on some of the banter, my guess was that the venue or some other logistics weren't up to par (the sound sucked in some parts of the auditorium).

Also if you check BR's facebook page, they list Wilco as one of their favorite bands.

I kinda liked the Neil Diamond line. But yeah that is your typical panther diarrhea.

From the latest album--

I last saw them in September, fantastic show. The new album is amazing indeed. This band just keeps doing what they do, writing beautiful songs (ballads and rockers) and performing for their loyal fans...largely in Canada. I hope they never quit. Cuddy and Keelor are such a great songwriting team, and the whole band is so tight. BTW, for those who may not know- Bob Egan (former Wilco member) has been part of BR for 9-10 years now.

I would guess a lot of us think "best of's" are a throwback to the bad old days of the sinister marketing ploys of the recording industry, shoving more "marketable product" down the consumer's throat. Wilco has withstood that whole industry regime for so long that doing something like this would feel like a capitulation of sorts.

I agree. I hope they never put one out.

Have to say I like Chilton's vocal on this a lot more than the original falsetto by Chris Bell.

:(

Thanks for shaving, Jeff!!!

Great song.

There's a difference?

I agree with kevan about Match Point- definitely underrated among Woody Allen films. Anyone remember Being Human? That would be my pick for "Robin Williams films". I also thought The Visitor was one of the best films of 2008, but I don't think I was alone in that opinion.

It's happening everywhere. I'm going through my second, so is my mom...and I know 3 or 4 other people splitting just since the holidays. Try to stay positive and hope for a good outcome for everyone. Vibes

Guided By Voices

The Hunting Of The President was really good. A bit partisan and melodramatic at times, but they exposed the sleaze of the 90s GOP machine quite well. http://www.thehuntingofthepresident.com/trailer.html

I guess you need to include Orson Wells. Joseph Goebels? Woody Allen....broke a lot of molds. I'm also gonna put in a word for Werner Herzog...brilliant filmmaker.

Wilco just isn't a guitar solo kind of band, to me. Even with the Cline. But I'd go with Jay on Via Chicago, and Nels on Everlasting Everything, both for the unique sounds.

Exactly. For me an amazing studio album, apart from resonating with my inner being and all that, should have (a) all solid tracks, (b ) a coherent theme or "vibe", and (c ) some really masterful production work. A few that I think qualify: 60s - Astral Weeks, Rubber Soul, Hwy61 70s - Loaded, DSOTM, Ziggy Stardust, The Original Soundtrack, A Night At The Opera, Exodus 80s - Avalon, Brothers In Arms, Sheffield Steel, Straight Outta Compton 90s - The Score, The Slim Shady LP, The Ghost Of Tom Joad 00s - At Dawn, 10 New Songs, YHF These are just my weird picks. The Score (Fugees) w
