Ha I figured Wilco in DTLA would bring a strange atmosphere.

Common Sense sort of reminds me of Elegant Transaction off of Born Again in the USA

I lived vicariously through these recaps of the Fillmore run. Gracias, bbop

Mine arrived Sunday (a day early from the expected delivery date), and it sounds fine. Just the standard black vinyl

Lost highway-- great summation, I agree with all of that

Mine is scheduled for delivery Monday the 12th. Going to be a long weekend.

While we're at it, can we get Jeff on Maron's WTF podcast? Maybe schedule it during their LA residency, please?

All I know is that I love the recordings included with The Wilco Book, and I am ready for the vinyl to ship. (And I hope I win the guitar)

Tentative ranking:

AM
BT

MA
ST

MAII
YHF

AGIB

SBS
W(TA)

TWL

 I think I spin either A Ghost is Born or Being There on vinyl about twice a month.

Man I'd love to hear a quiet, piano-driven version of "Venus..." live, but I don't see that one happening.

I Must Be High or Hotel Arizona. Cold beer in the backyard on a hot Saturday with the volume up! Then California Stars on a summer night

I definitely think that was Jeff. That song was in the original movie Fargo.

Great to hear - I'm glad he was able to stop even for a minute and chat, can only imagine how much of a hurry he had to be in delivering all of those.

I really hoped to be there for these shows... I bet they will mix the set list up a little for tonight's show.

 

I wonder if they will add more tour dates or finish recording all the additional songs Jeff said he had in the Rolling Stone interview. 2 new albums in the same year? is it possible? Could it be?

wishful thinking, there.

Damn mother nature, it was weird hearing IATTBYH after The Joke Explained. But Handshake Drugs -> Cold Slope was nice. 

I think Kiko may be my favorite

Yikes. I guess I won't be getting that although I want it bad.

 

There are only two more major dumps from the Dylan vaults that need to see the light of day.  One being the Blood on the Tracks outtakes (obviously) and the other are the outtakes, etc, from Infidels and Empire Burlesque period. With these now seeing the light of day, not much else of major interest seems to be needed, which does not mean Sony and Bob won't put more out there before he croaks.

Seeing Empire Burlesque mentioned reminded me how Dark Eyes is one of my favorite Dylan songs.

Pat for me.

The guitars toward the end of Where Do I Begin, once the drum fill comes in, remind me heavily of the sound on AGIB. On a side note, woke up with Random Name Generator in my head this morning & it won't leave!

Ha. . I brought it up last night because while preparing to move, I found a dvd copy of Being There. Probably haven't watched it in 10 years. I was a bit young to see it in theaters back in '79

The 2nd Wilco lp sharing the name with a famous movie

That's awesome. Wish I lived in nyc

Just want to share my admiration for How Will the Wolf Survive, one of the first records I ever bought.

I'd like to see people list the first Wilco album they listened to alongside their lists. 

 

I'm betting that the people who discovered Wilco after Summerteeth or later are more often the ones who have AM and Being There ranked lower. 

First Wilco album I bought was SBS. That said, my tastes have changed over time as initially YHF & AM didn't click with me like SBS, AGIB or ST. To this day I'm not the biggest fan of W(TA) or TWL.

My list:

YHF

AGIB

ST

SW

BT

SBS

AM

TWL
