No. As a matter of fact I was so bummed that he was kicked out that i lost interest in the band for the few years after (I've been fortunate to have seen them tour every record but Mermaid ave 1 and was lucky enough to have had dinner with the band, minus Jeff, on the '99 tour.) To follow up on what others have said, Wilco shows 1995-2000 were fun, the first tour after he left was very boring to me, too serious and having loved the band with Jay, those shows were very lacking to me. Now with the new lineup with Nels and Pat, I would say that this incarnation live is better and tighter.
