In these instances, the band should do the album version of Less Than You Think, a 45-minute Spiders, and/or Misunderstood with 126 nothings.

I don't know if you were replying to me, but maybe I'm not "seeding" it. Got it with BitTorrent off of etree and it's still on my BitTorrent for other people to grab.

I'm seeding this at etree right now (I think).

Isn't Summerteeth one word? That kind of screws up your analysis. Also, looking at the patterns of the title initials, perhaps the pattern can't be perceived yet? (Blowing your mind, I know) [winky emoticon]

The little squares on the bridge on the cover look rounded, that one doesn't. Uncle! Uncle!

Based on the white, angled hatching on the shoulders of the bridge, I'm going to rescind my comment and agree that it's the Mobile, AL bridge. Mobile, AL I-65 bridge

I think the bridge shot is from westbound I-255 crossing the Jefferson Barracks (JB) Bridge of the Mississippi River near Belleville, IL. There could be other similar bridges, of course. Google aerial map of JB Bridge JB Bridge facing southwest during 1993 flood. Sorry about the image size. I'm not sure how to control it.

If you let me enjoy Wilco my way, I'll let you enjoy them yours.

From Annie Zaleski's review (linked above): "But it

Demons? I always thought some StL-area fans were just pissed that the band wasn't still based in Belleville.

[Growl] Ok, who's getting the setlist texted to them every few songs?

When the Pageant first opened (10 yrs. ago?), the sound on both sides of the U-shaped venue (main level and balcony) sucked. I saw Dylan there and stood up in the balcony (right or left side) and couldn't understand any lyrics [Dylan joke] and the sound was very muddy. Since then, I will only watch from straight on, but I did hear that they improved the acoustics somehow a few years ago. I just won't take the chance.

They were on at 9 or 9:05 last night. They were supposed to stream another show a few weeks ago (per the Wilco email), but it never showed up on Roadcase (which was the link they provided).

They've played New Madrid at the last 4 St. Louis shows. When Tweedy said they were going to play an UT song, I was hoping for anything but New Madrid. I guess we're spoiled?

See my earlier comment: "Despite the drunken chorus standing behind me, ..." A very drunk woman was behind/beside me who was trying to sing every lyric, but would flub them or be off on the timing. She wouldn't sing during the quieter songs, she would yap like Yorkshire Terrier. There was also a guy(s) behind me that sang every lyric, but at least he knew them! My wife got into it with some quiet-song yappers at the St. Louis - Fox show a few years ago. They apologized later, informing us that they were some of Tweedy's relatives and hadn't seen each other in a while.

That was me! I know they played Kingpin, but I now believe I'm a Wheel was also in the 1st encore (contrary to my comment on your blog post). So, I'm a Wheel probably needs to be inserted in the setlist at the top of this thread.

We got inside at about 7:15 (very short line to get in) and found a great place to stand right behind the tapers (in front of the soundboard). Retribution Gospel Choir came on at about 8 and played until about 8:45. They were enjoyable and seemed to get a good response. Wilco came on at about 9 and played until 11:30.

Despite the drunken chorus standing behind me, I think that was the best Wilco show I've seen (5 or 6 in St. Louis). I hope they've got something left for the next two nights!

moheads shout out. I'll be there tonight (thursday) only. Hope it's a good one!
