That's a nice axe. Is the fellow from Music Exchnge the same guy who made the "Rock History in 100 Riffs" video that's been going around?
The guy who did the 100 Riffs is Alex Chadwick.

I'm curious how many people they're going to try to fit on the field...
Also, while it isn't quite the same, what about Lollapalooza 2008? They were a headliner that day...
They're not counting festivals, just proper Wilco concerts where your ticket says "Wilco" at the top, rather than Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo, Neil Young, etc.
BTW, the Jam twitter feed says the show is now sold out.

There are two other videos that go along with this one. The first features the director Chris Storer:

close out your window and then reload, it worked for me.
That did the trick. Thanks! (Of course everything sounds really fast now!)
-
Does Jeff sound really low/sick to anyone else? It kind freaked me out.
Everything just sounds slow to me. Hope it's just the webcast.
Also "Wilco" is trending worldwide on twitter.

What year was this... 80-something, obviously?
It was 1988.
My favorite quote from his rant: "The United States is 6% of the population of the world. That's why I came here tonight with Muhammad Ali."
-
Logically Wilco has no chance, since they're competing with an overall Album of the Year nominee, but the Grammys are weird.
Of course last year The Black Keys won Best Alternative Album over Arcade Fire, and then an hour later Arcade Fire won Album of the Year. So yes, the Grammys are weird.
This year Best Rock Album will NOT be awarded during the TV broadcast, but during the pre-telecast ceremony. You can catch it online starting at 1:00 Pacific Time on Sunday afternoon.

Review from the Vancouver Sun:

This may be a record for fastest posting of a concert review by a major metropolitan newspaper. Posted at 11:07 p.m. That had to be like what, 7 minutes after the show ended?

Well I hope nobody got kicked out or had their cell phone confiscated for violating the "no camera" policy tonight, because Yuka C. Honda (aka Mrs. Nels Cline) broke this rule with impunity:

And she did it five different times!
OK, maybe she had a photo pass, I don't know. Just thought it was kind of amusing.

Great new video interview with Nels by Premier Guitar. He walks through most of his guitars, his amp and pedalboard.
-
Looks like they jettisoned the planned second encore of Red Eyed & Blue/I Got You and Hoodoo Voodoo.

there will be a DVD this march
it's a double DVD with the original 7 Worlds Collide Concert Movie from 2001 and the documentary about the "the sun came out" project.
Notice that it's a Region 4 DVD. Which means that unless you bought your DVD player in Australia, New Zealand, Mexico, the Caribbean, or South America it's not going to play.

I guess Diet Coca-Cola and unlit cigarettes now cost $6.49. Inflation.
The "No Camera" policy was in full force. The security guard near me said it was a point of emphasis in their afternoon security briefing. I didn't see anyone kicked out, but as soon as a camera phone went up, the security guys were flashing flashlights in the face of the would-be photographer and cutting through the crowd to put an end to it. And this was five minutes after the doors opened, and people were just taking photos of the stage.
Choice banter: "On Spencer's 13th birthday, he played with us at Madison Square Garden. He didn't want to do that tonight. Apparently this place isn't big enough."
-
If anyone heard a loud "Oh shit!" when they started "Magazine Called Sunset", it was me...
I heard a very loud "OH MY GOD!!" during the very quiet beginning of Muzzle of Bees from some woman who apparently loves that song.
-
Show started at 9:17 and ended at 11:29.
The mayor left early and he missed a great second encore.
Choice banter:
Jeff: "I'm gonna talk just like a person on the internet all night. That was so stupid, I can't believe they did that." (in reference to intentionally shining the spot light on the wrong band member during the band introductions.)
Guy in the audience: "How's the weather forecast?"
Jeff: "I have no idea what you're talking about."
Jeff: "Not since the days of Krokus touring the mid-west, have two different double neck guitars been used on the same stage in one night."
Guy in the audience: "What about Cheap Trick?"
Jeff: "Oh shit, I forgot about Cheap Trick. Never mind."
Another show without Impossible Germany, Jesus, Etc., IATBYH, or A Shot in the Arm and it didn't seem like anybody cared (or even noticed). Can't wait for tomorrow night!

Welcome to the internet where everyone with a blog thinks My Opinion = The Truth

I remember this show advertised as a concert for the kids, bring book or toy, but the last month or so XRT is only touting Ryan Adams and I forgot who else, not Wilco. This is a bring a book or toy, yes? Don't want to have to register on some sex offender list for hanging at Sheffield's with an Etch a Sketch and Horton Hears a Hoo.
The Tuesday night show at The Riv is an XRT Holiday Concert for the Kids, not the Thursday show at The Vic (or any of the other shows this week).

Here's a review of the show and some great photos on Brooklyn Vegan:

The review not only references Via Chicago, but also this very thread. (I'm creating a vicious circle here.)
Some commenters then get into a hilarious/juvenile/ridiculous argument about Via Chicago. BTW, has anyone on this board ever actually used the word "amazeballs" to describe a Wilco show?
