i've only heard that it's an abbreviation for 'will comply' or that it's because they are from Will County I recall seeing a small company named "Wilco" on Irving Park road (nw side of Chicago) and always hoped Jeff got the name from that..... silly people do your homework. Wilco is now a chicago band but once upon a time when they started, they were a St. Louis band which has nothing to do with Irving Park or Will County

You would assume he is doing a solo show. Surprised there hasnt been any announcement yet. I really hope they announce something soon because I really dont want to drive to Champaign. The Vic was an absolute blast last year. I think I enjoyed it more than some of hte Residency

I know there have been rumors and assumptions but is there any solid info out there about if and where the boys may be playing on Jan 20th?

Honestly I don't see what the complaints are about the weather. I showed up 45 min to 1 hr before start time and found good seats or good standing places. if you really really feel the need to get that close to the stage or rush to get the first few rows of the balcony then you gotta suck it up, deal with the weather and not complain about it. I think the great part about the residency is that it happened during a time (february) when most bands don't tour. There isn't a lot of other thigns going on in Chicago that time of year. It gives you the perfect break from the winter blues and give

My Humps and Save a Horse Ride a Cowboy definatley are in my top 5

Its a good song but i really dont get your point. Most Unknown/Underrated Song Ever?? Hyperbole aside is it possibly because its been played live a few times and hasnt been recorded?

I have one of the shows on disc ....I believe 2/17/07 (starts with spiders and i'm too lazy to look up the setlist now) its one of the best shows i have, very pure. It seems there are several other shows with guests playing with Jeff. I'm assuming these are some of the people who have paid to attend but these ones arent nearly as grand as the pure solo Jeff show. Still very happy after last night.

not really sure what you're trying to say, but I dont like charity I just like spending 100 dollars on solo tweedy shows

It's almost January and no announcement yet. I can only assume that this will happen again this year especially given the other solo dates coming up

What a great night! Really enjoyed the advance ticket sales aspect of the show this year, especially since I had to work until 6. We were seated in the back row but moved up to the second row after they kicked out the non wristband people. There is no reason I will ever miss this show. from what I can remember here is the setlist: Wilco the song Impossible Germany Hummingbird (w/crowd whistling) Jesus Etc ? One day Love will find you Simple Twist of Fate (short butchered and aborted version) Hate it Here She's a Jar I've been to this thing two years in a row now and I love it. Audienc

you can come and go as you please as long as you have a ticket although once it reaches capacity you might not be let back in , its one in, one out at that point not sure if it ever actually sells out last year was awesome

Now I may eat my words, but i doubt it.... Why would this take place in any other city but Chicago?

Can somebody with more talent than me please chord this song out gracias

pillowy star dont worry i think I think Wilco's version of the Dead's "Beat it on down the line" will always be "Misunderstood" I cant get The Wilco Song out of my head

How can they not play Christ for President? along the same lines...Ruling Class would be great, but i guess that would involve jeff only

Tickets to the rally (65,000 ) of them are gone however daly is expecting up to 1,000,000 and is ready to accomodate them my girlfriend got us on the waiting list for tickets today somehow even without Wilco this is going to be an amazing night

With all of the Obama benefits under their belt, wouldnt it be fitting if they played in their adopted home town at the largest Obama victory party in the world?

I'm amazed by some of these selections. Less Than You Think......everybody skips the drone part so that doesnt count, but if people are discounting the beginning of the song i'm dumbfounded Being There...? really? i think its their best album Radio Cure? " lyrics are poignant enough to overlook the weak music (Leave Me Like You Found Me, Radio Cure)" i actually think there is a lot to radio cure, i love turning up the stereo at the beginning. I think their are a ton of subtle layers here that make this song great

Sounds awesome! surgery at 7 the next morning doesnt sound so awesome though

how about nels and neil trading solos on............. Down by the River

I think the comparison is that both have longevity and both continue to reinvent themselves with each new album. I think that point is very valid.

I used to see jeff all the time at tupelo shows (hard to miss when there are 200 or less people there ) I was 16-18 at the time Saw him 3 years ago at a restaurant in chicago and really at that point I wasnt that into wilco. It was fathers day and he was having breakfast with his family. I hadn't seen him in person in over 10 years so i kept kinda looking over and debating whether it was him or not. He caught me looking once and gave a little nod and an acknowledging smile. I didnt bother him though. His son's school is on the same block as my girlfriends old place so occasionally i'd s

Ok so using nero i would be able to burn it but.............. anybody know how to break this into two different files? My DVD holds 82 min, this is 91 min are there longer DVD's out there? can somebody more savvy than me split this into two files and post them?

many thanks anybody have a good free dvd burning program?

Jeff at Lollapalooza - Has this been discussed yet? Looks like he has a 15 to 30 min timeslot on Friday afternoon on the Children's stage. Perhaps its just to introduce his son's band? Anybody have any insight?
