Thanks for the "ear candy". Hopefully that new album comes to fruition.

Yeah, Venus De Milo was my favorite of the night. It sounded awesome.

No problem! Just a little more for ya-the set was 90 minutes, 11 songs including encore, and every song you would want them to play, they played. They played this song Persia I had never heard-must've been the longest song of the night by 10 minutes-pretty much a 20 minute jam with a middle-eastern flavor (best I can do to describe it). I read they have never recorded it, which is a shame.

Just a heads up-if they are in your area, see them. They were tight and I think most purists would be pleasantly surprised at the guitar interplay. As I am on the younger side of their fan base (34), I cannot speak to the original lineup's live sound, but if you have written them off, I say give them another chance. Hopefully they will get in a few more US dates this year.

From the new album (since that is all I have been listening to lately)

I found this info on an online DVD retailer's site (not Amazon). Apologies if anyone's already posted this elsewhere; I'm a little bit disappointed that the official DVD site or Wilcoworld doesn't show more information like this about the DVD.

thanks, I was wondering what they would be-good choices in my humble opinion....

Funny, this Feist duet info was posted back on 6/12/08 and I never heard a thing about it...

The Road-Cormac McCarthy

Middlesex-Jeffrey Eugenides

About A Boy/High Fidelity-Nick Hornby

The Catcher in the Rye-Salinger

It Happened in Boston?-Russell H. Greenan

Stones of Summer-Dow Mossman

How bout Charlie Day (Always Sunny) as Jeff...

yeah, he is definitely referring to something not played on the DVD-it sounded as if it was something outlandish...like a Jay Farrar tune or B-52's "rock lobster"....

hello to all reading this, you are witness to my delurking...I just watched Sunken Treasure to get hyped up for my Northampton trip in March and as I have asked myself each time I have watched it...what song was Scott McCaughey talking about that he can't believe was on JT's song list? has anybody every found out? I searched for posts on this (admittedly half-assed) and didn't see anything. It is a great little scene...
