some great entries in this thread
this line devastates me every time:
In my stupid hat and gloves, at night I lie awake
Wonderin' if I'll sleep
Wonderin' if we'll meet out in the street
the whole song is crushing
Oh, then one day, I saw you walkin' down that little one-way
Where ... the place I'd catch my ride most everyday
There wasn't a damn thing I could do or say
Up in the skyway
what are these from? love'em"Hush was the first word you were taught" -- first line of merry go round from 14 songs
"ADD, PCP, F-U-C-K-E-D, that's me" -- from the hilarious psychopharmacology, a great grandpa boy track
"We'll tell the ones who ask and the hell to those who laugh" -- from when will we arrive from folker

i'm seeing jay farrar the night before in hoboken
would have been a great day-night double-header
oh well

If phish gets back together, it's going to make me feel like even more of an idiot for sitting in 28 hrs of traffic and giving up and parking my car on the highway and hiking/hitchiking 15 miles from the highway with my tent and sleeping bag on my back to Coventry for their last show ever.
so ... was your car still there after the show?

Uncle Toop ... $1,500
Jay solo ... $250
wilco $125
Farrar solo ... $100 if he plays Still Be Around, $50 otherwise (but i'm gonna see him solo in a couple weeks and it only cost $20)
Son Volt ... $100
how about a gig where jay/SV plays a set, then jeff/wilco plays a set, then toop plays a set
i'd freaking pay $5,000 for that
and the bottle rockets open

I like to casually mention that I'm a big fan of the first Asia album when trying to impress people.
great record
-
I recommend the Kink Kronikles compilation to anybody looking for a starting point. It's jammed with catalogue mid-period classics, from victoria to apeman to sunny afternoon to dead end street to david watts, and much much more.
A brilliant collection.

there's another group/artist out there that's disappointed me more over the years
agree
i'm a little confused here though
the guys from adam & dave's bloodline were supposed to be marah's latest band -- i thought they just hooked up in the past few months?
now they're out?
they were also going to open all the shows?
i think marah has had more members than parliament
when they first hit philly, they just exploded with life. been disappointment after disappointment since
-
that's extremely obscure, i feel. kudos to Chipotle.
baja fresh > chipotle
qdoba > chipotle
but never heard wilco in any of 'em
did hear highways and cigarettes in starbucks tonight
-
i heard Impossible Germany around midnight last night in a convenience story in Philadelphia
was on my way out with a bottle of water and M&Ms but stuck around for the guitar solo
the coolest was hearing The Passenger by Iggy Pop in a Kohl's department store a few weeks ago

I heard The Shins live shows suck.
nah, they're OK, not great, but pretty good
course wilco blows 'em away

Once again, the band is skipping Philadelphia while touring out east. Anybody have a clue why? Philly has always supported Uncle Tupelo + Wilco, but the gigs have been few and far between recently.
They played here a lot in the early days, but just twice in the last five years --- in 2003 and 2005, both outdoors, both somewhat limited sets. Both were fantastic shows, but the last time they actually played a real gig here was 2002.
Maybe it's the same in a lot of cities, but Philly is such a Wilco stronghold, huge college town ... just seems weird.
I need a fix.

I tend to disagree with this.
Some of the studio stuff already mentioned in the beginning of the thread is the best place to start before hitting the live stuff, IMO. It's harder to truly appreciate the variations in the live stuff without a basis/benchmark that is the studio stuff. The enormity of the live material can be overwhelming and hitting on a clunker show/string of tunes can do a man in when testing it out. Plus, some of the studio stuff (arrangement-wise, etc.) is very good.
maybe. i just think if you give somebody the right first set, they'll be fine. if they're getting a 40-minute Dark Star, forget it. But if you just give them a sweet selection of songs -- Bertha, Cumberland Blues, Jack Straw, Row Jimmy, Brown-Eyed Women, I Know you Rider, Ramble on Rose, China Cat/Rider, Sugaree and maybe a manageable Eyes, they'll be hooked. I think the best route into the Dead is by showing that more than anything, they wrote incredible songs. And then you go from there and build outward. maybe a nice 1970 (Sept. 20) acoustic show?
Sept. 3, 1977, Englishtowni reckon it's a dick's pix & a good one
-
best starting point is a live show
take your pick
i'm partial to
May 8, 1977, Barton Hall
Sept. 3, 1977, Englishtown
March 26, 1973, Baltimore
Aug. 27, 1972, Old Renaissance Faire Grounds
Jan 2, 1972, Winterland
April 25, 1971, Fillmore East
May 17, 1977, University of Alabama
May 11, 1972, Rotterdam
but almost anything from 1972 or 1977 works
start out with the more song-oriented first sets and go from there

first time i saw Wilco was Dec. 16, 1994, at the Mercury Lounge in NYC
it was one of the first handful of wilco shows
i remember some drunk guy in the back screaming at the top of his lungs for Whiskey Bottle
somebody yelled out, "No, Jay wrote that."
then some girl screamed out for Looking for a Way Out
and I yelled out, "No, Jay wrote that too."
and then Jeff said, "I was wondering how I would handle this. But you guys are handling it."
it was a great moment and an astonishing show
