The acoustic segue was flawless in Richmond. As Poor Places crumbled into noise, the crew brought out a new drum set, some acoustic guitars, Jeff's upright bass, and two keyboards, and they got that set going without missing a beat. Same thing when it ended. Segued perfectly into Misunderstood. Don't know how, but it worked.

It was flawless into and out of the acoustic set....John layed down a heavy bass line from open to close. Jeff's voice was stellar, Glen is the man and I thought Nels was a little subdued. All in all the energy and performance was truly spectacular. What other band can play three hours without a break? Wilco rocks and they rocked Richmond hard. I loved it all and Theologians and Ashes of American Flags haven't stopped playing in my head.

I thought he was having fun. It was refreshing to me NOT to have those cell phone lights shining in my face OR 30 people with their phones in the air. He gave a couple of dirty looks to some people but they deserved it. I'm a shusher(shhhhhh) for sure and will put a finger up to my lips or cup my hands by my ears first. Then if people continue to chat I will say "I came to hear the band play, shut it" or "You sure are talkative tonight" and to think someone is even going to hear what you are saying during a song is absurd. You have to scream into their ear and they still won't hear you. Realise you have nothing important to say while the music is playing. I thought he was pretty funny when he said "I'm going to take back all those things I said about you...But I only said good things about you" I'm glad there were no camera phones in my face, I'd have poked you if you even tried.

Monday on Monday at a Wilco gas station. Strange but true.

Such Interesting thoughts.Thanks for bringing this all to light.How will they or what will they perform acoustically? and in which manner or fashion?

Anyone know when the National is going to open here in Richmond? Drive By Truckers announced some 2008 tour dates and they are listed as playing there on 3/28/08.

Pollstar has some dates up.The announcement is Tuesday 18th at noon.They should open up in Feb. Possibly sooner.

Even Dr. Seuss named his baby Hay.Hay Seuss.The National will announce its schedule Tuesday the 18th.It's larger than the Norva and 9:30 club.The Landmark theatre in Richmond is larger and all the colleges around have nice concert halls.I just hope they play within 200 miles of here.
