the request feature was great, i'm sure i was not the only guy to request Ashes, but that really was a perfect opener. i was straight out from jeff about 10-12 rows.

 

i made a comment in one of the boxes asking if the feature was their idea, if they were really using it so it was nice to hear Jeff explain their plan, he had some great moments last night. my favorite was the line saying something along the lines of "the first half of the set will be a bit introspective and the rock will be forthcoming."

 

being from des moines, it does remind me a lot of the last show at the val air, the guys like the venue and iowa in general. again, Jeff had great moment talking with the crowd about no one really liking our state but how the band loved the venue. i'm always blown away at the iowa city and des moines shows. also saw a taper who said it would be up by the end of the week, can't wait.

hey, im from des moines too. what did they say about it?

i heard him say i didn't know this many people lived here.

he said they loved the venue?

thats tight.

in all honesty though, val air isn't my place for concerts-- only wilco concerts.
