Just a reminder that Jeff is on the Strombo show tonight (11:05pm CBC)

Yes, thanks v much for posting.

John (regarding the carpeting in the Loft):"Someone has to say it but it really does tie the room together."

It was definitely spring when I left Vancouver Tues morning. Definitely winter-like here in Toronto yesterday and today!

Another fantastic show. I agree with Kalle, I think the setlist topped the first show's. "Not For the Season" and "Radio King" were definite highlights for me.

 

Nice to hear Feist with just Jeff accompanying her on acoustic guitar. I know some people aren't huge fans of that song, but you could really hear her sing tonight. Sometimes when she sings it with the full band, I feel like you can't hear her vocals as well. So that was cool.

 

I have to confess, "You And I" isn't up there for me but Feist did sound pretty good. And she and Jeff really looked like they were having fun.

The merch table was a bit sparse ("Wilco (the album)" , "Adult Head", tote bag, etc.) I picked up the "All God's Money" show poster as a souvenir, though. Couldn't resist.

Nice to meet some fellow VC'ers. See you at SS!

It was my first Jeff solo show, too. Thought I'd have to wait until Solid Sound.

Wow. "You Are Not Alone" surprised me, it sounded great and was quite powerful. I sort of welled up near the end.

The "mulch/tinsel/fibreglass" comment re: the Sky Blue Sky sammich was hilarious.

Thanks, bbop, for the setlist!

The 3-19-2002 Bolder show is also really amazing, one of the encores is side one of Being There and it concludes with the first full band Be Not So Fearful into Reservations.

I love this show. This version of "She's A Jar' is one of my favorites.

This is a killer show/boot. This version of Ashes is really brilliant. I love the newer versions, but this particular one with the crazy acoustic solo/noise thing is just awesome.

 

Exactly. The newer versions are great but if I had to choose, I think I'd go with this one.

Row D for Toronto!

I've never heard Wilco at Steve Nash Fitness World (and suspect I never will), however, yesterday morning I spotted a dog-eared copy of "American Songwriter" - the one with Jeff winking on the cover - sitting on a ledge between the cleaning station and a row of bikes!

If your going studio I'd say The Crane Wife album is a good place to start.

I'm also a fan of "The Crane Wife".

I'm really liking this, too. Gorgeous melodies and a concise listen at what, 41 mins? "Rise To Me" is lovely. And the meaty "This Is Why We Fight" is already a favorite.

this album just has a nice warm sound, like i said. good hibernating songs.

I agree, absolutely. I'm really digging this record which is odd as it really is "Patterson-centric" vocally as solace stated.

The slow burn of "Ray's Automatic Weapon" reminds me, strangely enough, of "72 (This Hwy's Mean)" Both great tunes.

Santa had my autographed "Once Around" CD (The Autumn Defense) along with my losing Solid Sound Photo Contest entry (also signed by Pat and John) framed!

Whilst I am not from Vancouver, if there is anyone here who is from that beautiful city, I have fallen in love with a band of yours whom I think will qualify for this topic:

(aka - "Circle C"; aka - "Copyright")

 

Any of you Canucks remember them? I now own both the self-titled, and "Love Story" and love them both. Heard about them from a guy on another board who is from Vancouver. But I wanted to bring it out here.

Hence the reviving of this old thread.

 

This one is from Love Story:

 

Very 90's, I know, but I think that it still holds up pretty well.

Hmmm, can't say I remember this band. Sorry, PopTodd.

These guys were pretty big in Vancouver and BC during the late '80s/early '90s. (They didn't do too badly in some of the other provinces either, I think.)

Thanks for the link, okp greg.

 

I know lots of people find Conor Oberst annoying and I understand that, but I like him.

I'll second that. I never tire of CO/Bright Eyes. Looking forward to "The People's Key"

All of the Wilco shows were outstanding:

Royal Theatre, Victoria - 2/12

David Lam Park, Vancouver - 2/13

Hamilton Place, 2/23

JazzAspen, Snowmass - 9/3

Also, in no particular order:

Drive-By Truckers: The Fillmore, SF - 5/8

The National: Malkin Bowl, Vancouver - 9/10

The Autumn Defense: Drake Underground, Toronto - 11/9

Crowded House: Queen E Theatre, Vancouver - 8/29

Our Home Depot's have those, too. I always forget, then I'm kind of bummed because the hot dogs smell so good and I've already eaten lunch.

 

I think it's a smart idea. The average customer is filthy and smelly, so isn't it likely that they'd prefer to grab something quick from an on-site food vendor rather than going into a restaurant and stinking up the place?

Yup, good point. Yours too, bigshoulders. I guess we're just different (hopefully re: the "filthy and smelly" part, too!) Cheers.

 

 

 

p.s. Hell is Chrome is not even in my top 10 Wilco/JT songs. Probably not even in my top 20.

I used to be the same with Hell is Chrome. Not sure what happened but it's now in my top 10. I think this happened around the same time that AGIB overtook YHF as my favorite record.

I hate those farfetched ads. Like when someone goes into home depot and is immediately ushered around the store by the helpful staff. That has never happened. All I ever see is tumbleweeds blowing around.

Our HD has a Harvey's (burger place) inside it. Who goes to HD to eat burgers?

I haven't listened to this yet, hopefully will this weekend.

 

 

it's certainly a very Patterson-centric record vocally, and he's certainly not my favorite DBT vocalists by any means.

Me too, I prefer Cooley's voice/songs to Patterson's. Picked up tickets for one of their March shows yesterday. Nice that they're coming to Vancouver!

"You Never Know" on CBC Radio Two "Drive" with Rich Terfry a minute ago.

Even better, before playing it, Rich mentioned the Autumn Defense and "Once Around"!

high violet expanded edition came out last week...grab the tracks a la carte via itunes. there are some gems there.

I'm really digging the alternate version of "Terrible Love."

 

Listening to it now and I am REALLY digging it! There is a very 90's sound to it, but I mean that as a compliment.

Me, too! Sounds really good, Kalle. (You sound a bit like John Samson of the Weakerthans, and I mean that as a compliment, too!)

Thanks for the download.
