Dont forget about the shred-off between Pat and Nels during Hoodoo Voodoo. Wilco's set was definitely the highlight of the weekend.

So today at JazzFest John Stirrat was interviewed by David Fricke. John talked about a lot of stuff, ranging from projects with his sister, and how hes managed to stay in Wilco so long haha. At the end of the formal interview he answered a few questions from the crowd. I asked him to compare the new album to the live recording styles of Sky Blue Sky as compared to the studio soundscapes of YHFT and AGIB. He said the newer album has shaped up as a more classic sounding YHFT. He also mentioned the band is trying their hardest to keep this album under wraps, for example Feist being on the album was something they wanted to keep on the dl till the actual release of the album, although that didn't happen. It was a great interview and a sick set.
