i am about 90% sure that i am the biggest weezer fan in Arkansas.

that being said, this new album is going to be a rough spot in my relationship with weezer. the itunes samples were pretty horrible

The YYYs are great. And "It's Blitz" is a crazy good album.

first time i saw Wilco was with Dr. Dog. That is also the night that I fell in love with Dr. Dog. Therefore, i want to see a co-headlining show with Dr. Dog and Wilco

I just listened to the S/T album for the first time and WOW. I wasn't sure what i expected (It's Just That Simple thirteen times, maybe) but it certainly wasn't this....and it certainly wasn't this good. What do you guys think?

Dr. Dog is by far my favorite band. I haven't seen all of these articles though, so thanks to RainDogToo!!!

Shame Shame, eh? Sounds pretty awesome.

Do you still need those three tracks, i can zip them up for you.

Does anyone know why Juston Stens didn't play with them at ACL?

I absolutely love this album. Hated it at first, now i can't stop singing Convinced of the Hex and Powerless

He gave it back to her. She made her way back up front (which is ridiculous, i have no idea how that little girl beat past the crowd to get to the front) and he gave her the phone in the middle of a song.

When i met Wilco, Mikael was not very friendly. And by not friendly, i mean, the entire band was signing autographs and taking pictures and he was standing on the other side of the barriers just looking on. He came out about 30 minutes into the signing though

holy cow, bleedorange, is that you?

also, the flask thing. I'm not sure why he got so upset over that. But, there was a little 6 year old girl standing in the vicinity, and that could play into it. I really think Jeff did go a little far, but, i can also see where he was justified. But, hey, it's Jeff Tweedy. He's known to be like this. Remember Sunken Treasure.....He called the audience out on his only solo DVD. That speaks volumes for the way the guy feels about the audience. If you paid to see the show, you should enjoy it. You shouldn't hide behind your camera, you shouldn't hide behind booze. You should live your life so you have those memories. And get the most out of your money...Don't just get drunk and not remember who you saw last night, much less how they played.

my two cents.

i kind of like a standard set list...i was pretty upset when they didn't play via Chicago last night...though i was comforted by Misunderstood and Country Disappeared.

there is a video of Jeff's plea to not record video (bit of irony in that statement, right?)

He then took a towel, blew his nose, and threw the snot rag at the girl whos phone he took away. Pretty dick, but also kind of funny.

nah, he didn't. He threw it down on stage right behind the speakers. I'm sure any Wilco fan would be pumped to have a rag of Jeff's snot, though. There were some people trying to grab for it :/

i saw them in Sept 07 in Little Rock, AR. After the show they waited about an hour and then came out to sign stuff for a small crowd that was waiting around the tour bus. I got my SBS vinyl signed by all of the guys, and they were all super nice. Nels and Glenn, as i remember, were two of the nicest guys ever. Jeff was really nice, too, but in his standard mildly anti-social sort of way.

I was in the second row and thought the people in the pit were the rudest fans I had ever seen.

hey! Not all of us were drunk burn outs....Only the girl next to me with the cell phone. And the guy beside me...and the girls behind me. and the guy that ran up and starting pushing the drunk guy beside me. And the guy behind me to the right. Ok, so 95% were drunk and stand off-ish...But my friend and I were sober.

Holy cow, what a show! I was able to get in the little press area and was right in front of Jeff the entire show...Literally the best spot in the entire Orpheum theatre...

But seriously, guys...It went down tonight. Jeff stopped after a couple songs to say "We let you do just about anything you want, but don't film us. You are ruining your memories by capturing them with an imperfect medium. Sure you can show the video to your friends, but thats your memory." So, he told everyone to stop filming them with cameras and phones. This girl right next to me waits a song or two, but then she starts filming him again (may have been Impossible Germany, so you can't blame her). He walks over to the edge of the stage, bends down and says "What is wrong with you?" and takes her cell phone from her. After a couple of songs he has a little talking break and says something to the effect of "I feel really horrible, but i asked nicely." She starts yelling that she is sorry and that she loves him and then takes a swig from a flask. He sees that and says "Now you're drinking out of a flask? You really have no respect for yourself....or anyone else." And she got upset and left. He finally gave the phone back during the first encore, but man, that was intense.

As far as setlist goes, i got Jeff's so i will post it tomorrow morning when i am a little more awake. Great great great show with a special guest and some appearances by Liam Finn and Eliza Jane.

did anyone tape this show? I would love to hear exactly what Jeff said to that girl again. It was a pretty scathing line.

also: Glenn sat in with Liam Finn and EJ and played one of their songs and also....CINNAMON GIRL! That was definitely one of the highlights of the night for me. It sounded SOOO good
