  1. Me too! Going to be a cold night at Harbor Lights.
  2. Added to Newport Folk Fest on Sat, July 29.
  3. As of this morning, BT and YHF are tied at 26%.
  4. Wow.... While it's not my favorite Wilco album, I too am voting for BT.
  5. Would trade Ron for Howie any day.
  6. Must be the beard and that he let himself gray. I actually think he looks better in the current photo above.
  7. I think the thing that ticks me off the most is not the setlist, which is tired and repetitive, but the absurd ticket prices. I think I've said this elsewhere in this thread, but for a guy who rallied against "golden circles" and made a stink about his album prices, he's turned into a total hypocrite. I think to get anywhere near the first 15 rows you had to spend $400 +. Also, after having seen a Mudcrutch show a year or so ago... I totally understand the shorter set. He was shaking and seemed pretty frail then. As others have said, I would probably shell out some serious $$ to see an in
  8. Looks like Amazon has an opaque yellow LP version too: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06ZZ71HJ3/ref=sr_1_3?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1492100569&sr=1-3
  9. Whiteout Conditions is now streaming on NPR: http://www.npr.org/2017/04/03/522193333/first-listen-the-new-pornographers-whiteout-conditions
  10. When I think about SSF, I mostly think about quality time with my father, who attended the first 3 with me (and the benefit show at Mass MoCa on one of the off-years). My fondest memories are for SSF1. It was all so new, and to experience that with fellow fans and the band was really exciting. I think about chatting with John and Pat while waiting for coffee. Standing next to Nels in the Hunter and talking about what a joy the festival was. I think about that relentless rain, and how someone in Joe's field orchestrated a photo op, arranging us by the color of our ponchos. Music-wise, I think
  11. You've inspired me to update my stats on Setlist.FM now. Looks like my top 3 most heard Wilco songs: 1. Impossible Germany (16) 2. A Shot in the Arm (15) 3. I'm the Man Who Loves (14) No surprise there. Looking at my Jeff Tweedy shows (which also include the Tweedy shows), there is way more variation, which is also no surprise. With 5 plays each: I Am Trying to Break Your Heart, New Madrid, and The Ruling Class. I am, however, surprised that a few songs that I've considered "classics" I've only heard a couple of times -- Pot Kettle Black (2), Side With the Seeds (2), I Must Be High (2).
  12. Normal American Kids @ If I Ever Was A Child Cry All Day Radio Cure Company in my Back Joke Explained Misunderstood Someone to Lose Shouldn't be Ashamed At Least That's What You Said Reservations Impossible Germany California Stars We aren't the World Forget the Flowers Jesus, etc. Locator Dawned on Me Theologians I'm the Man Who Loves You Hummingbird Late Greats --- Random Name Generator Red-Eyed and Blue > I Got You > Outtasite (Outtamind) --- Spiders @Jeff and Nels only There weren't any changes from the printed set list.
  13. You beat me to the punch, Remphish! It was nice meeting you and also running into some other familiar faces. Another great Wilco show and quite possibly the best view of the band I've ever had. I'm too tired now to add to what's been said above, but one bit of banter that resonated for me was: "save pessimism for better days." Looking forward to whatever tomorrow night brings!
  14. Going to nights 1 & 2. Up front in Orchestra Center. I'm getting psyched.
  15. Looks like April 21 and 22 at the Vic: GENERAL ADMISSION tickets go on sale on Fri. Mar 3, 2017 10:00 AM CST GOLD CIRCLE tickets go on sale on Fri. Mar 3, 2017 10:00 AM CST http://www.ticketfly.com/purchase/event/1443438?utm_source=fbTfly&utm_medium=ampOfficialEvent
  16. For stouts that see some wide distro, I recently enjoyed Oskar Blues' Barrel Aged Ten Fidy. The tallboys are kinda pricey, though ($15 ish).
  17. Good call-- I missed that show! I'm thinking Saturday the 29th at Newport Folk Fest is a very real possibility.
  18. Wilco Sun, July 30, 2017 Doors: 6:00 pm / Show: 7:00 pm Thompson’s Point Portland, ME http://www.statetheatreportland.com/event/1440805-wilco-portland/ I know Jeff and Tweedy have played in Portland, but i think this is the first Wilco show since... 09? A great surprise on this Tuesday AM!
  19. I'm hoping to hit Boston too, despite the fact that I really don't care for Harbor Lights as a venue. Anyway, looks like he played a pretty good set last night in NYC:
  20. That's interesting. If memory serves, they've allowed chairs/blankets for the last 3 SSFs, and for the first SSF Joe's Field was closed all day and a line began to form early in the afternoon. I much preferred the mad-dash to the front vs blankets/chairs being used as placeholders.
