I made the same comment about the fireworks music. Sheesh! We know Wilco had nothing to do with that!

Oh - one more thing - I know they feel like they hafta play Hotel AZ when they're here (every single time, the 3 times I've seen 'em in AZ), but still - I sorta wish not. That being said - it rocked. But I guess I just don't like predictability. Impossible Germany, though - they need to NEVER stop playing that live. To me, it's the pinnacle of what they have ever done. I think Too Far Apart is the only Wilco song I haven't seen played live before that I now have, and that was nice!

No complaints. OK, the weather was hot, but it's WILCO. I've endured weather like this for much worse, and I'm not gonna miss my band when they're here!!!!!! So I had seats in section B, row 12, with chairs (stood most the time, danced a lot tho), and that was great, but I also moved to the rail (like, 4 rows up) to jam to Impossible Germany and some other numbers. Considering the heat, they were GREAT. In fantastic spirits, well-oiled machine. Setlist was a beautiful 20th Anniversary collection. Only wants, I guess: Panthers. One day, some day, I'll hear that live and in person. And

Billydee, thanks, that was good info! I've seen 'em at Red Rocks (bought reserved then, wish I'd been closer) but since I live in Phx area and NEED to see them with not other hopes of travel this year - this is it! $85 for Pit is scary, though. Reserved being $65 was new news to me.

Confusion re: AZ show on 7/3: Presale through Frontgate? or Ticketmaster? Both have information.

I want to join in. Thank you! Beautiful, and it's great to hear some of the tracks they didn't play at the show I was at - many future hours of Wilco joy, because of you. THANK YOU again.

Just as BeShakey explained above, I open Audacity and hit "record," then jump over to Roadcase and hit "play," and it becomes a long track, UNLESS stopped every so often. I did this with one show - just put it into 3-4 song groupings with tracks that are a bit shorter than the whole. Not ideal, but for a quick and dirty amateur, it worked out fine for my purposes. Only problem I've found (which is why I landed here - looking for solutions) - works better in IE than in Chrome. (Hell is Chrome?) But the other problem that seems more evident now is that Roadcase and the website are very unst

Happy to see that One Sunday Morning was the opener. Peeps there who really wanted that and got it (as did I in the Arizona show). And thx for the info about J. Smiley and boyfriend "being there!"

I was at the Tempe show and stood most of the time (row C - 3rd from stage in Pit). I felt bad because right behind us (but a short distance away) was the wheelchair row. YES, they kept that row as a wheelchair row, EVEN during a rock concert. (Normally, they do broadway shows there). I felt bad, and did occasionally sit down, but overall, it's not our fault that's where they decided to have the wheelchair seating. Am I going to hell for this? Maybe. Do I regret standing and dancing? No. Tough call.

I got tix for AZ. Was in the waiting room for a while, barely played the game (so there's no truth to the 3x complete snake game before lets you purchase). I got Pit row 3! I'm a happy camper, but I was in the waiting room from 9:55am - 10:03 and it probably only *felt* like it wouldn't end, and I dreaded doing anything as long as those cubes kept revolving. I forgot to log into FrontGate though, and panicked a bit. (I bet the demand for the CA shows is MUCH greater than for the AZ show). Good luck, everyone! And to answer someone's questions: YES they were WILL CALL only, and YES, 2

I was there as well. The person next to me sung quietly but otherwise, I heard no one else singing along with much of anything (except Jesus, and I was just happy to sing!). Which was totally a different vibe from a Wilco show, where I get the sense that Jeff would rather more people sing, as often as possible. What a great show this was! I feel blessed, having seen Wilco and Jeff Tweedy within just over six months of each other. It was bliss hearing Impossible Germany, as well as Spiders, which had such a different arrangement - just a treat. I hope Wilco decides to play in Phoenix nex

Thought of one more... Audra - Everything Changes

The ones I loved most in 2009: The Decemberists - Hazards of Love - even flew to Chicago to catch the show live. Incredible. Imogen Heap - Ellipse - why isn't she named anywhere else? Wilco (Bull Black Nova and a few of the other tracks - NOT the entire album)

THANK YOU! It worked! Thanks so much, Rick! (love this community)

I preordered the CD - still waiting. Got the download, but really want the plastic. The tracking indicates basically nothing. Anyone else still waiting?

Me too! It was actually a rather cool feeling. Hope they do well. The label is evidently throwing some money into it.

Thanks! The first two work! Yippee! But the 2nd two don't. Maybe a email to them might rectify the situation? (I also bought Sunken Treasure about a year ago and couldn't get the bonus stuff, no matter what I tried). But the fact that some of the stuff still downloaded (for free) is encouraging.

Ahhhhhhhhh.... Just got the download I ordered - worked seamlessly -(hope to get the CD in the mail soon!!!!) and it's SO GREAT to be listening. I heard it originally the 2nd time it was streamed (fortunately before the show in Tucson). Bliss! Don't mind the Feist song but thought You Never Know a little weak. But I have to admit, it's growing on me.

Shakespeare ---- I said I wondered what the vibe was like and if anything happened. Yeah, maybe he doesn't care. And maybe you're sick of hearing about it. I just was curious, since they were IN THE TOWN where this BIG MUSIC THING happened, THAT VERY DAY, did anything occur at their concert that night? Just curious, dude. Never said I expected anything. JUST CURIOUS.

Yeah, I added a comment to the 6/25 LA show thread wondering if Wilco said or did anything related to MJ. It must have been surreal for them to be in LA the very day MJ died in that city.

I'm kinda wondering why no one has mentioned anything about the vibe of Wilco doing a show in LA on the day Michael Jackson died. Did they say anything? Do anything? What was the crowd like? Oblivious to it?

Looking at subsequent show setlists, I'm still really happy with what we got in AZ! I was pretty close, but most of my photos turned out poorly (couldn't use flash). Here are the only two worth sharing...hope I didn't resize 'em too small...

Sweet photos! Problably the best I've seen yet on this tour - esp. of the Glenn pose! Also reinforces how perfect the lighting is at Wilco shows. They actually put some thought into it.

Alex - thx for taping, thx for posting! Lovely.

Hey, faxman75, no problem. Yeah, I said the Phx area, and that's what I meant for their last time in the Valley. Just blew me away that they didn't tour Sky Blue Sky here when I looked it up 6 months ago. Most acts do play Phx if they're playing anywhere in the state, but Tucson and some other spots have us beat in radio. That's precisely why I only got into Wilco on a friend's sharing - no one here plays 'em, and most people I talk w/don't even know who they are (which is absurd, I know, for a band that's been around as long as they have). Maybe they thought Tucson was the place to be w
