well said.

Yea it was a fun show but between the venue being to big for wilco and for me a set list which has 2 songs I have not seen live out of the three times I have seen them (discounting of course the new album stuff) i was a little bummed. Some one made a comment on the wolf trapp thread that summed up my feeling pretty well at this point with the setlists. For a band that has such a large repertoire of songs that they demonstrated they can play at the residency shows, you seem to get that 12-15 core songs at every show. I just wish they would mix it up even more than they do. And no I do not take

ALways good to see Wilco. The venue was OK. I think they have trouble with sound in some of the larger spaces. Seemed like they could have moved the stage up around two hundred ft to create a better setting. the bleacher were preety far back on d the sound was a little muddy. Place was maybe half full. Then again i would guess it would take a few thousand more on the floor to fill it. it was a big area. I was on the field for the first half but it became too annoying with the talking and folks coming and going to whole time. No real comparison to the Opera House and Tower in sound and set li

Nice thanks. Yea the Tuna kick ass so much fun. I will take a peak online to see a layout. I think it could be a fun site for a show. Should be a nice crowd pulling from Philly, NJ and MD. They filled the Tower a couple years ago and I would love to see this place full. Made the Opera house show last summer in De and that was just about the best concert I have ever seen. Cannot wait for next week!!!!!!!!

After revisiting SBS last night for a couple turns I have changed my mind. WTA is a stronger record top to bottom. Shake it off, On and On and at least two others were meh. The only song that I will flat out skip on WTA is SF and maybe You n I

Should be great. Hope the weather holds. It has been a rough summer so far on that front. I posted in the other East coast thread about his venue wondering if this is the first live act there? The set up should be interesting. Think anyone will pull over and throw on the hazards on 95 lol

an emphatic yes to your question.

I see your point but it was refreshingly new for me nonetheless. Not too mention we don't actually know if this is truly the way he feels about WTA and Wilco in general. Maybe he is not trying to go against the grain?

Has Frawley Stadium ever had a concert before? If so where does the band set up and how was the setting on what is basically I95?

Couldn't agree more. At least it was some fresh perspective on things. So many of these reviews are carbon copies of each other almost from start to finish. How bout some effort

At this point SBS but it is close. Both records have nice high points for me however they both have several of Wilco's worst songs as well. Those will not grow on me. A lot of the reviews I have been reading have nicely described what I have felt about this record for what thats worth. Some kind of weird validation I guess.

WOW. Just Wow. That may have been one of the if not the best concert review I have ever read. Bravo Brian. Amazing piece of writing. I felt like I was a part of a era of Wilco I so sadly never saw live. However after reading that I kind of fell like I just saw them.

Taking a break. Listened to BBN live and it sounded good but identical almost to the second compare to the album which I hope changes. There are just a couple too many clunkers on this one for me to really dig it.

I hear you dude. I don't post much but been reading a lot of JB bashing on this site over the years and especially lately w the lawsuit. Unfortunately this is pretty typical stuff in this day and age.

yep. My thoughts exactly. Recycled but in a bad way. A few of those lines seem really crowbarred in there.

Sirius XM channel The Loft had a very nice tribute to him yesterday. They ran a hour long show from 6-7 in his honor. I was fortunate to be randomly listening and they played a great mix of his solo work and Wilco stuff along with some very very kind words about the man and musician he was.

Man I am really having a hard time with this news. Just yesterday afternoon I checked out JB's Myspace page for any news of the surgery and to listen to a few new songs and now this....I feel really alone with this news and I am glad I have a place like VC to go to where so many feel the same about Wilco and music in general. Jay always meant so much to me because he was such a great talent and person.I connected with his music in a very special way. There was always a small part of me that held out hope that in some way he and Jeff could reconnect. Those records BT, ST and YHF have helped

It is a well designed app. Very clean and no crashes(yet). Busting out the roadcase and watching some of AOAF has been sweet. What an amazing device.it never ceases to amaze me. Easily the best phone I have ever owned and I have had dozens(bit of a tech whore).

What a cohesive well thought out analysis. Thanks for verbalizing many of my thoughts about the state of the band and WTA

my thought exactly. A few more screams on the way home. Either way its a killer jam that should be a highlight this summer

What a lift it gave me in an otherwise very difficult week. Thanks Guys. See you this summer!

Thanks very much for listing these shows. I have downloaded all of them and spent the weekend checking them out. I have to say I agree with everything you posted about the shows and the sound quality. It is a nice contrast to all the 07-08 shows I have been to and downloaded. Not for the season in a couple of those show were amazing. I would love to see that live. The band really sound tight especially for all the transitions they were making in that period w/o Jay/Ken around. Anyways thanks again for the recommendations!

Sec 226 which is lower level and not a bad seat but still spending $550 just to get in your looking at a $700 night out at those prices. Not to mention we will get at best 90 mins of the boys?

What a joke! Over 550.00 for a set of tickets and they are not even on the floor if that makes any difference.
