Lupos is a great venue. Site of my first Wilco show, on the day that YHF was officially released. Wish I still lived in Providence to catch this show (on my birthday, no less). Seems that Wilco has outgrown this size venue, so it should be a treat. Enjoy! Mike

Have an extra pair of tickets for Jeff's show at Orpheum Theater, Phoenix. Section C, row 13. Got these through the band presale, but got better seats through the general public sale. Including fees, cost was $68. Mike

Another thanks to the VC board for pointing this one out. Have been enjoying this for the past week or so. Really good stuff.

I got to catch Lindsey last night at the Orpheum in Phoenix. I saw him on his two Phoenix stops on the Under the Skin tour and this was another great show. I can't remember the set list in order, but he played about half of the new album (great day, time precious time, did you miss me, love runs deeper, gift of screws, treason), a few songs from under the skin (title track and shut us down - done solo acoustic which was one of the show highlights), and the expected Fleetwood Mac songs (tusk, I know I'm not wrong, second hand news, never going back again, go your own way, big love, I'm so afr

Just got Crane Wife today and I'm loving it. Crane Wife 3 is outstanding, and O Valencia is one of the better songs in their catalog. If anything, the album seems to lack that one beautifully sparse and simple song that all the others seem to have (Grace Cathedral Hill, Red Right Ankle, Of Angels and Angles) - but that's just a minor point. Another typically great war song and the longer pieces work well. Already have my tix for Tucson and can not wait. Mike
