  1. didn't get tickets in my own home town... i don't know what i did wrong. i was on frontgate right at 10...

     

    I'm in the same boat! I can't handle not being able to see Jeff in Boulder!! :ohwell

     

    Maybe there's a chance of getting some non-pre sale tickets?

  2. Artists that are not in the RRHOF that are better than most of those nominated this year:

     

    The Cars

    Cheap Trick

    Chicago

    The Cure

    Deep Purple

    Def Leppard

    Dick Dale

    Gram Parsons

    Herman's Hermits

    KISS

    Lou Reed (solo)

    MC5

    The Monkees

    New York Dolls

    Red Hot Chili Peppers

    I totally agree, but one person who without a doubt should be on there is Warren Zevon.

  3. Basically, Glenn's drumming has become really sloppy. There's been rumours for months.

     

     

    Seriously??? I guess I'm out of the loop. I just find this hard to believe! I've always thought his drumming was perfect every time.

  4. I love Ashes and probably watch it more than any other live DVD I own, But it's one major flaw is that it's missing some essential live Wilco songs.

     

    Some big ones I think SHOULD be on the next live DVD are:

     

    Misunderstood

    Poor Places/Spiders

    RedEyed/I Got You

    Hoodoo Voodoo

    Radio Cure

     

     

    What songs does everyone think must be included if there was another DVD release?

  5. I hate to say it again, but You and I is WAY cheesy. There's good cheesy to me (HMD is in that category) and bad. You and I is hard to take.

     

    Okay fine, I'll admit You and I is a bit cheesy.

     

    I just think it's funny everyone's all the sudden obsessed with the word 'cheesy' in this thread.

  6.  

    And how could it be cheesy when he manages to bring so many of us back to a simpler time? It's not cheesy or schmaltzy if it makes you feel something nice. I like this song and sing along loudly when I hear it.

     

     

    I agree completely. In fact, I've never thought any Wilco song was "cheesy".

  7. It is a great song. Just not the song they should have played after being introduced as "the best rock band working in the world today". (And Ferguson was absolutely sincere)

     

    To seal that the deal for that kind of introduction they should have played Bull Black Nova.

     

     

    Agreed. I was really hoping for BBN myself. You gotta love Craig's taste in music though. I hope he has them on the show again soon. Maybe with a new song...

  8. I love the lyrics to Reservations, and I definitely think it's one of the best love songs that Jeff has written.

     

    "I'm bound to these choices so hard to make/I'm bound by this feeling so easy to fake"

     

     

    I think the song really shows off Jeff's ability to make such simple lyrics carry so much emotional weight.

  9. I love Heavy Metal Drummer. It's not one of my favorite Wilco songs, and I don't get very excited when they play it live either. But I still love it because it was how I was introduced to Wilco. Someone burned me a CD with Heavy Metal Drummer and Jesus, Etc. on it and the rest was history. I was hooked. As someone else said, I think the song is about looking back on simpler, more innocent time in life. A beautiful song, and not cheesy at all in my opinion.

  10. While my girlfriend and I were waiting in line last summer at Redrocks it started pouring down rain. I mean like a downpour. The sky just opened up and unleashed it. Everybody's stuff started to get washed away and everyone crowded under these guys' tent thing for cover. There were like twenty something people stuffed under this tent, and everyone was just drunk, dancing, and holding onto the edges of the tent to keep it from blowing away. It was ridiculous. And suddenly it all stopped and the sun came out. It turned out to be one of the most beautiful nights and one of the most memorable experiences of my life. The weather, the scenery, and the band were all perfect, especially from the 5th row. :yes

    That's weather in the mountains for you.
