I also stayed at the Williamstown Motel. The communication between the owner and I before our stay was very strange. I think he was worried that we weren't going to show up (and he also realized he could make more $$ b/c of the high demand). Regardless, he was very kind when we arrived and the room was just fine. My father and I had a great time again this year. I want to say thanks to the many people near us on Saturday (up front, centerish) that not only made the rain tolerable, but turned the whole ordeal into a really entertaining/ pleasant experience. I'm really not a festival person, b

the track that jeff was playing solo, 'born to die alone', sounds soooooooo good with the full band. i never thought that that quiet acoustic number could become something so.... so wilco. it's great. and i think there were 3 new ones.... i might, whole love, and born to die alone.

i think we heard the title track tonight at solid sound. good, but i don't think it's the strongest of the new ones.

wilco tweet: "is rehearsing new material at an undisclosed location in Western New England today."

tickets go on sale this morning for a show in northhampton, ma. http://www.academyofmusictheatre.com/home/ good luck!

So.... Joe's field opens when the venue opens. I've got mixed feelings about this. It seems crazy to sit there all day, and unfair to put a chair down to reserve a spot. Speaking hypothetically... is it fair to assume that people won't congregate until the usual 1-2hrs before showtime? What is nice is that there won't be that mad dash to the front. That was dangerous last year.

maybe i'm a bit slow here, but who are you referring to? i'm not noticing any updates. (maybe because i'm desperately looking for 'jeff tweedy')

i hope it doesn't. there was nothing melodic about it.

I'll do my best to answer a few of your questions: You'll receive a bracelet, and the bracelet allows you to come and go as your please. They check bracelets on your way into Mass MoCa and also when you leave the museum lobby to go toward the outside area where the stages are. The Wilco shows are on the field. That line starts to form relatively early, but it seemed to me that once you got near the soundboard and further back it was more spacious. I'm not sure I'd leave a lot of belongings, but I'd probably feel comfortable leaving a chair or a blanket there. Last year I think Magic Hat

i'll be at ssf, but ordered the blue 7" regardless. why not, right?

npr has the show available for download as a single mp3 track: http://www.npr.org/2011/05/31/136580866/sasquatch-2011-wilco-live-in-concert

Someone told me that they supposedly heard a new single on some local college radio station. Apparently the dj introduced it as a "new Wilco song". The person who relayed the message to me isn't a big wilco fan, so she wouldn't really be able to differentiate a new single from a WTA track. Has anyone else heard anything???

too much standing at stadium shows.

i only got: blitzen trapper- maybe baby/soul singer 7" built to spill- ripple 7" almost picked up the lady gaga picture disc, but couldn't bring myself to spend the $10. in hindsight, i should've done it.

decent interview and performance, especially the bon jovi comments. jeff should really make a solo record.

I think I'm going to go to the NJ one. Lineup looks pretty good. Hate on DMB all you want, his show in Central Park might be the best show I've ever seen. Their last few studio efforts haven't been very good, but the intensity they bring to the stage is pretty special.

check out audiogon.com - a helpful forum/ marketplace for hi-fi equipment.

this is the table i have. highly recommended. i've got it hooked up to a nad amp and triangle titus bookshelf speakers.

no pressure, but you should post that boulder show when you get around to mastering it i think i saw you in boulder and portland... i'm assuming you're the only photographer who'd be at both! great photos!

your corrections look good, gtrplyr! i think we both might be mistaken on the 'blowing stone' line. i can't decipher what he's singing. there's something about the 3rd line too...

nice recording, thanks!

anyone care to help transcribe the lyrics? i know i've butchered this, but it's a start. i really like this song, and am eager to hear how it will translate to a wilco song. I have heard the (?) worry of the gospel very fast across the void i have married broken spoke charging smoke winds spit and swallowed opioids i am the driver at the wheel of the horror marching circles at the gate my eyes have seen the fury so flattered by (fear?) tonight i'd rather count the warm fumes eternally subtract the silence of myself i would rather choose the middle mind of mystery reverse the riddle for
