    Honestly that would probably be pretty great! Though that Mermaid Avenue possibility has be intrigued as hell. Do they still have beef with Bragg or has that blown over with time? Be cool to get him out for a Mermaid Ave set.

    when both artists played Newport Folk a few years ago, Billy joined for "California Stars"

    Stereo Equipment

    in Tongue-Tied Lightning

    Posted

    most of my listening is either via LP or digital streaming; i do have a CD player but my CDs are in the basement and I rarely retrieve any as I have everything ripped to digital and can playback via Plex.

    specs on my stereo:

    Adcom pre-amp and amp (200 wpc), both purchased new in the early 90s.
    turntable is a fully manual Rotel w/ Sumiko blue point II cartridge

    stream is Cambridge Audio  

    speakers are Paradigm Studio 60s

    CD player is some generic Pioneer single disc player

    2023 Favorite Albums

    once again i feel like i bought too many reissues; looking back rather than forward is not the best way to go through life but i am a sucker for nostalgia.

    I will have to dig through the list of what i got (Discogs, thx for the assist) but i think i can reasonably say that my favorite record of the year was probably the new Grails record, Anches En Maat.

    As to your more serious question, I'm not sure what it is. I've been trying to put my finger on it. I mean, the event definitely feels undersold...no matter what the room tallies on the event and/or resort sites might indicate. It also just seems to me that there are a lot of people here who I might categorize as a certain type of middle-aged music fan, to whom Wilco might be a band they would categorize as one of their favorites (or even their "favorite") but to whom the idea of a music vacation is more of the appeal. If the headlining band were another "favorite" and/or "cool" band, like say The National or someone like that, they would also make the trip. So as a result you get some people who aren't necessarily as ardently into Wilco or something but are just happy to be somewhere tropical and enjoying the tunes, brah. Or couples looking for a getaway from the kids. And I'm sure other categories as well...

     

    There also seems to be quite a few friends/family/guests of artists, crew and people who have some association with Wilco, too, I'm guessing (booking agents, etc.) and that also adds to the numbers of attendees, but not necessarily the truly rabid fans.

     

    i definitely noticed this too, and i can't figure out what the difference was between the other two. there was definitely a palpable lack of energy though, and it was pretty easy to navigate through the crowd unless the rail was your destination.

    How did you like Dylan? I've been going to see him since 1978. Sometimes he's great, sometimes not so much. I was underwhelmed by the show I saw for the current record. The time before was transcendent though.

    i had never seen him before, and the reports of unrecognizable songs w/ radically different arrangements was 100% correct. I really only ID'd one song "Gotta Serve Somebody" and then when i saw the set list i should have had at least 5-6 more. I thought he was great, personally. had really good seats and his band is fantastic.

    for all the people bitching about his voice, it's not like he was Pavarotti in the '60s and it suits the songs well. i didn't think he sounded bad at all.

    Setlists

    in Just A Fan

    Guided By Voices is in a similar place but with even way more material to draw from. the set list is gonna have a handful or two of songs from the last 2-3 records, about a dozenor two classics that don't change much and then the rest are things pulled from this current lineup's output.
