Picked up tickets for this. Pretty excited to see Wilco in a 400 person club. Assuming, of course, it is Wilco.

Thanks for posting the banter. It was nice to relive some of the hilarity.

Misunderstood was just stunning. Tweedy had the crowd sing the "Nothing"s at the end of the song and while I am not usually a huge fan of the "sing-a-long" experience this had me with goosebumps. Seriously.

Wow. Well, attending both nights certainly paid off. I got to see a lot of songs played over the last two nights. Both nights were great, I thought. For some reason to me the second night was more mesmerizing. Though, I was closer to the stage and was attending solo so I am sure that affected my experience.
The aborted "Please Tell My Brother" was hilarious. Jeff started the song and got through about 2 or 3 lines of the lyrics when some lady yelled, to my ears, "Golden Smog!!!" Jeff looked up, smirked, and said, "you love this song?" I couldn't tell if he was fucking with her or if he legitimately misheard her. Regardless, he quickly adds, "okay well then I'm not playing it" and he immediately starts into One By One. The whole place was laughing. Then after One By One he smirks again and starts back into Please Tell My Brother. Pretty classic Tweedy.

Only one repeat between last night and tonight: California Stars.
-
These setlists all look great, and the reviews have been much appreciated. I guess it would be fun to follow around this tour, but at the risk of being dubbed a "Tweedyhead." Still, might be worth it.
Hehehehe. Well, I am going to both SF shows so what does that say about me. Plus I am sure many folks are hitting multiple Largo shows.
I wish they would release a couple of the SBDs from this tour... the song selection and performances are top notch.
Looking forward to night 2 tonight! Not long now!

Headed to work so just a few quick comments… My first Tweedy solo show after having missed him the last several solo tours. I really enjoyed it. The setlist was pretty diverse…. Some deep cuts: Magazine Called Sunset, Cars Can't Escape, No More Poetry. Great Laminated Cat / Shot In The Arm main set closer. Two of my personal favorites. Some hilarious banter. Tweedy was chatting up the crowd asking how many people were also coming again tonight to which he quipped that "well I'm going to play 60% the same songs." He also ranted about cheez its for some time. Good stuff. Tweedy's voice sounded good. The crowd was very well behaved I thought… I anticipated more heckling than there was. The Give Back The Key To My Heart encore closer was played with Scott McCaughy at the front of the stage with no PA. I didn't see any microphones in the air, so it didn't look to me like anyone was taping. Round 2 up tonight… wash, rinse, repeat.

Yea that was majestic. Was really happy to hear You Are My Face and Via Chicago was a lot of fun too. I would pay a fair amount of money to get my hands on last nights show.
The shows will pop up sooner or later. I saw two tapers at the Saturday show. My guess is they will be up on etree in the coming weeks.
-
I'm pretty sure that just happened. Great show. The OSM opener was stunning, and I enjoyed getting the Say You Miss Me bustout... that song is a favorite of mine.
-
I only saw the UPS option as well, which isn't a problem for me because I had them shipped to my office. I didn't think twice about it. But, you should email Frontgate Tickets to see if you have any other options, I'm sure they can help out.
-
Nice to hear continued enthusiasm for this tour. I'm really psyched for the Warfield/Fox... That Red-Eyed-->I Got You better make another appearance!
-
Dammit! Laminated Cat! I was hoping for that at the Warfield/Fox. What are the chances they bring it out again? Probably unlikely....
-
Sweet. I hope Poor Places and Red-Eyed --> I Got You resurface when they hit the bay area. Two of my favorites and I'm glad to see them in rotation.
-
Nice find. Very cool. Getting psyched for the January CA shows.
-
I'm so used to the Jeff solo version it was a trip hearing this version (the Being There version). Great stuff and great find. The audio feed on this is definitely not an SBD, for what its worth. This makes me pumped for the January CA shows. Thanks for sharing.
-
Interesting that the second LA date is not at the same venue. There's a date open between the Warfield and Fox shows in the bay area, I wonder if they will announce an additional show there.
-
Scored GA floor for both the Warfield and the Fox. Yesterday's APE/KFOG presales seemed much easier than the Front Gate presales. Hope everyone else was successful as well.
-
Sure it's that for SF? Only reason I ask is because SJ, Oakland and Davis are all APE presales, and SF is KFOG/Goldenvoice, so thought it might be different...
I'd like to know the same info if anyone has it. Cheers!
-
Does anyone have the passwords for the KFOG and/or APE presales for the Warfield and Fox shows? I, like others, got jack squat on the presales this AM. Thanks!
-
The Fox in Oakland is stunning. It just underwent a $90 million dollar renovation, and it now looks and sounds amazing. I've seen about a dozen shows there since the remodel and it's far and away my favorite theater-sized venue in North America.
-
STOKED! I wonder if they'll add another Warfield show on that day off before the Fox. 2x Warfield --> Fox will be sweet.
-
Here's a rip by rebareid from another site 320 mp3
Also as an FYI this rip has been remastered from the original stream.

Rhino, RainDog, and others... check your PMs people.

So I came up with the idea that we would end the song with a Shepard tone, which is a series of chords that when repeated continuously sounds like its descending or ascending. It's kind of a musical trick—it sounds like it's endlessly going deeper and deeper into the abyss.

The Star Wars trend continues... to add to the comments above about how the band will handle multi-night stands, I am headed to the Independent show in SF and wonder if the band will simply treat tonight like any other show and whether they will repeat the Star Wars format from tonight to tomorrow night's Outside Lands set. Admittedly I hope they play all of Start Wars tonight; I'd like to see it in a small club and I have been purposefully not watching any of the videos from the recent live performances so I hear it live in person for the first time.
The suspense builds!
