Sweet Delightful

Rock on!

Thank you!

I just found out about him last week. The few songs I have listened to have been really great and cant wait to delve a little deeper into his work.

Makes me wish I was there.

Serioulsy. I can feel how hard they rocked just by looking at these pix. Looks like a transcendt experience.

Hey guys. I was wondering where is a good place to look to download live Wilco.

Thanks,

Jenelle

Just for the sake of comparison....What other bands either (old or current) would you think are descibed as "Undescribable" like Wilco so commonly is?

I love this album. It haunts me. Everytime it gets mentioned the songs awake in my head and get stuck there for a few hours. I know what I shall be listening to on my lunch break now.

This thread has inspired me to add some of these songs to my list of songs to learn to play on guitar. Particurlary Aeroplane Over the Sea.

Any suggestions other ones that are fun to play?

Anyone know if either of these shows were taped?

Hey, I didn't see John C. Reilly! Where was he?

He was up in the balcony right behind Mr. Stirratt.

If John sang it, it must have been "It's Just That Simple."

 

They've been doing that one a lot over the past several months.

cool. thank you!

What was that song that John sung last night? I think it was something off of AM, but im not sure.

I really like Sky Blue Sky. I think comes from a different intention than the last few Wilco albums...in that there is little production on the record. Its literally just them sitting around with microphones. I like to imagine them in a circle in my head, around a metaphoric campfire, just playing.

The cool thing about it is that they are still able to make that "Wilco sound" in a more acoustic setting. Not that there is NO production...just alot less layering then, lets say, A Ghost Is Born or Yankeel Hotel Foxtrot, which are epic masterpieces of mastering. Sort of an "I like playing music" album instead of a "my soul is aching to express itself" album.

While I do think the songwriting on most of the tracks is exquisite, I agree some of the topics are silly and, I think, are the equivalent to listening to Jeff Tweedy talk about his day. There is one whole song about how he cant function if his wife isn't at home. Its sadly adorable. And another that sounds like Jeff Tweedy taking a walk. Neither are weighty topics, but I think they are still interesting bits of writing. But I could see why the album doesn't grip alot of people...as it is more "Middle of the road" sounding. (Though the guitar solo in Impossible Germany is stunning). Its a bit more peacefully contemplative and not as emotionally gutting or really rocking like other albums.

I'll be there!!!

That site lists everything going on in NoLa. Kermitt Ruffians is playing somewhere on Thrusday. I second going down to Frenchman St. There is always someone good playing there and the street crowd is mad fun. And yeah, Soul Rebels = Amazing. Catch them if you can!!! It'll change your life.

Did Nels fall out of his chair?

 

 

That was so cool

I saw that. He was all rocked out

Wilco 9 (soon 11)

I moved out to South Dakota to work as a volunteer teacher for a few years and one of my housemates turned me onto YHF. It was my first Wilco experince and I was swept away. In fact we all were and that album (and then AGIB) became center pieces of our music listening schedule. Since then I've consumed the rest of their catalouge and have gotten to see them 9 times in various places all over the country and they just get better and better.

SBS spent a long time in my car stereo this summer and I just love it as well!

If anyone has any extra tickets for either of these shows please contact me at liquid.running at gmail.com.

Thank you!!!

Wow. I just moved out of Chicago and this is the first moment I have regretted it!!!
