Solid Solid attendance estimates from the North Adams Transcript: "While official totals for the weekend were not available, estimates put the number of fans attending over the three-day event at 7,500 to 8,000. "The numbers are notably up this year," Thompson said. "We had over 7,000 people including vendors, volunteers and security on the field Saturday night [when Neko Case and Wilco played] and we had no capacity issues. There was still room to move and it still felt civilized."" http://www.thetranscript.com/news/ci_23525366/solid-sound-delivers-solid-crowd-solid-activities-all S

Yapping is getting worse at all the concerts I go to. Ignorant people are everywhere, not just at Wilco

Apparently the guy dragged out was the tambourine player but he is not an actual member of the band. The band was not 'kicked out' it seems and so Tweedy was merely joking. Foxygen tweeted this last night: "@johndamnseven this is wrong. you should take this off the net. there was no brawl. one member went to the drunk tank. Wilco & foxy are cool"

Foxygen would be my third pick for fav set, and the lead singer certainly gets the Jim Morrison award! Fantastic performance if very unsustainable in the long run (bummer about their hassles afterwards. Heard one of 'em ended up wasted and tried to punch a state cop. Ouch!) Blogger from Times Union had a good write up about Foxygen's set & after troubles

MMW & guests crushed the final set today! Best performance I saw all weekend, hands down One of the best sets I've seen from MMW in a while, these guys are masters of live improv, all in just 1h15m. Smallest crowd all weekend at the main stage but we cheered so much we got MMW & Nels to return for an unexpected encore (the PA music had already been turned on) David Hildago, Marc Ribot, and especially Nels all shined tremendously as guests. Tweedy's appearance was sweet, plus we got an 'encore' performance of a train running by the stage during the show Amazing ending to a terr

From twitter:Around 830pm saw slew of police outside fest talking to Foxygen lead singer, then someone else left in cop car @robertloerzel: @AndyHannon Anyone else able to confirm what happened:So #foxygen apparently got loaded & brawled saw the tambourine dude escorted out of #solidsound2013 totally wasted couldn't even walk

Awesome night of Wilco, much better overall than last night. Agreed, the stage & light design were super classy. How about those trains going by during the show, incredible! Loved Foxygen's nutzy set. Were they really booted or was Tweedy joking? That security dude that pulled Foxygen's lead singer off the vertical steal beam supporting the stage rigging was a major ass by shoving the singer to the ground,wtf!?!

Foxygen was indeed wild! Very curious if they did get kicked outta Solid Sound as Tweedy mentioned (in jest...?) Foxygen's lead singer climbed up one of the steel beams on stage right, whereupon this security rushed up and pulled him down and proceeded to shove him down onto the stage While the lead singer may have been a little reckless, there was no call for the security dude to be such an asshole. So was Tweedy joking or was Foxygen really asked to leave the festi? (Loved Foxygen's set btw. Crazy fun)

We found easy street parking around town. 4 blocks away. Just look around and maybe scope out google maps beforehand for ideas

Wilco promised an all request show & delivered on it. While I'm sure plenty of rare wilco tunes were requested, the band never promised to focus solely on their own catalog I knew last night some would not be pleased with the show. Even I at times was squirmy about the wacky format as it was uneven at times. Then I shook off the feeling and waited for the next peak moment. More to come today!
