Interesting because a BBC website feature on her this week mentioned that she tries to write a song every day. Now who does that sound like?

Wilco — 2 September 2023, Edinburgh, Scotland, UK (Usher Hall)
Ghost Of Bob Cumming replied to bböp's topic in After The Show
Sorry about the delay in catching up, went straight from Edinburgh on Sunday morning onto another engagement entirely, in rural Lincolnshire, and only just catching up now. I think the Scottish term for someone English is 'Sassenach' (although that may be more of a Glasgow thing?) Despite the efforts of part of the population north of the border, we're all - Scottish and English - 'Brits'. For now, anyway. It was nice to briefly meet you (and Queenie). What I really wanted to say is that I started reading contributor's little gig reviews of early Wilco shows back in the -
Wilco — 17 August 2023, Alicante, Spain (Plaza de Toros)
Ghost Of Bob Cumming replied to bböp's topic in After The Show
As ever, nice show report. Getting excited about Edinburgh show 2 weeks today. Even if, due to late announcement of train strikes, my chances of both going to Scotland by train and travelling First Class, are being eroded. -
Nick Offerman has some sort of copy of this new album as his interview with Stuart Maconie for BBC 6music's Radcliffe & Maconie radio show - for their 'First, Last and Everything' feature - has just gone out in the UK, and he wanted to choose a track from it as his 'Last' (latest) choice. Stuart explained that they were unable to play it though 'because it's so new, it's not out', so we got a Cruel Country track instead.

You can add my lesser-spotted name to this growing list too -
Live at Capitol Theater 2014 CD Set
Ghost Of Bob Cumming replied to echosmyron's topic in Just A Fan
Seconded. I was definitely interested, but was still procrastinating when I logged back into the EU store to find them all gone! -
- The packaging seems kind of slight. I was going to ask about this. Pink vinyl version, bought in the UK, just comes with lyric sheet and clear inner sleeve. Is that the same for everyone? Not even going to mention lack of download codes (Oops!). No sign of the black & red/pink packaging shown in the GIF on band's Twitter feed. Outer sleeve is clearly designed for more inner packaging, so guessing it's maybe the same outer sleeve for a deluxe version that has more inside? Although can forsee album spine crumpling if filed on shelf full of vinyl. Minor grumble really though, enjoying the r

Wilco — 27 September 2019, Manchester, UK (Albert Hall)

Be interested to see how that compared to other shows on this tour for you, Paul (I'm only a very occasional poster here, but feel I can call you by your first name after Jeff's prolonged references to you)? That was the 5th time I've seen them, first in 1995, last 2010 (not sure why there's been such a long gap to last night) - and they blew me away. Best gig I've been to in a long time. They seemed to feed off an enthusiastic and packed audience (that had a much wider age range/gender split than was evident at Jeff's show at the Albert Hall 18 months ago). New songs all sounded great, love -
Jeff Tweedy — 1 February 2018, Manchester, UK (Albert Hall)

Been so long since I posted on here it's just taken me about half an hour to conjure my password from my memory, but had to come on to say what a show! Loved it. Haven't seen Jeff in any form since 2010 (geography issue, was a 5 hour round trip for yesterday), but the wait was worthwhile. Pecan Pie was brilliant. I'm a big fan of those early 'simple' WIlco songs. And then to be followed by Impossible Germany (which Jeff admitted just popped into his head) was a great surprise. Some of the banter was similar to what's been reported for last couple of shows - the bit about everyone leaving -
The funny thing is, they have met before, Jeff came into the studio on the Sky Blue Sky tour (I know, I recorded the version of John Wesley Harding he played). I have completely missed this, but have just had Dermot on in the car on the way back from the in-laws. Don't enjoy listening to him particularly as he's utterly bland to my ears, seems to like nothing more taxing than landfill 'indie' musically (even better if it's a cover version - he played 'Chim Chim Cheroo' by Turin Brakes on the journey home and I, correctly, predicted he'd love that). I really struggle to see what Dermot's appe

Wilco -- 15/9/10, Newcastle, UK

Beaten to the punch while I fiddled around with my mobile! Set list was; Wilco (The Song) Shot In The Arm Bull Black Nova IATTBYH One Wing You Are My Face Impossible Germany Shouldn't Be Ashamed* Handshake Drugs Nothingseveregonna... Via Chicago I'll Fight Theologians I'm Always In Love Jesus Etc Walken I'm The Man Who Loves You Hummingbird (Encore) The Late Greats You Never Know Hate It Here Heavy Metal Drummer Monday Outtasite Thought it was a great show. Jeff's voice sounded good. Monday/Outtasite rocked like a bastard. *This may have been my request. Except I meant Should've Been -
Hey! I shouted for an AM song (though there were only about 4 of us who did ) The only point that I noticed John sounding a bit rough was on Can't Stand It - that was right at the end though.

Somebody else will have to help with the setlist (though I can remember we began with Wilco (the Song)/Shot In The Arm/Bull Black Nova, and that Encore 1 was Poor Places>Spiders), but what a cracking show! My first Wilco show in 12 years so wasn't expecting the almost full Academy that I walked into, pretty vocal lot too, good atmosphere. Jeff wasn't happy with someone video-ing early on, but he came round after that - they all seemed pretty pleased by the end.

Hmm, that is poor! Although I should say it's taken Amazon UK a couple of weeks to get hold of the vinyl version, so a few sales not included there I would imagine. Mine finally turned up this morning. Looks fantastic.
