So you're Dr. Judy huh. I thought it was a really nice genuine moment when Tweedy dedicated it to you. Coincidentally, that show is one of my favorite bootlegs. Amazing set list, amazing atmosphere, great sound. Anyone who hasn't got the March residency of Tweedy's solo show at the Vic is missing out. I'm really into early, folky Jeff atm so when a set includes Hesitating Beauty, Pecan Pie, Acuff Rose, Forget The Flowers and Mountain Bed, that's a birthday, christmas and new years rolled into one for me.

He nor they have played it live actually (according to wilcobase records at least), not a Jeff Tweedy & Jay Bennett show, not a Wilco show, not a Jeff solo show. It's pretty curious.

It's not b/c this topic talks about 'gun' you have to shoot me for my ignorance. nah, just kidding...if you don't mind me asking...when did they do this?

True, but according to WilcoBase they've never played it live. Omg.

In the vein of the thread below... http://forums.viachicago.org/topic/42936-your-fricking-perfect-25-song-wilco-setlist/ ...what's your top 25 set list for a Jeff solo show? No electric guitars allowed. Here goes mine: Airline To Heaven Candyfloss I Am Trying To Break Your Heart Country Disappeared Laminated Cat Theologians Far, Far Away Kamera Gun Jesus, etc. Remember The Mountain Bed (break) Cars Can't Escape In A Future Age Radio King Sunken Treasure Black Eye When The Roses Bloom Again California Stars Pecan Pie New Madrid (encore) Pieholden Suite Venus Stop The Train Promis

LOL don't see it happening, Wilco should do what Pearl Jam did and play their entire catalog in 6-day residency. That's the only way it seems we're ever hearing Gun by the whole line-up.

And so we meet and there are sparks, Its gold it's new and free from sharks, Your house is big it seems so clean, Your cleaning lady comes and we're discreet. Are you lightning? 'Cause I'm waiting. What's the timing? I'm not playing. And so I act like I'm 21, Wide eyed and drifting unto sun, Pay back is here my legs are numb, I'm back, it's square one feeling dumb. The sweet things, When do they come? Have I gone deaf? What's the song? Are you lightning? 'Cause I'm waiting, This is frightening, I'm not playing. Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh... Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh... I see you in my sheets, I s

me like. A member of "The Shins" is involved

Okay, that's just weird, I know every word and note before I hear it coming through the speakers but to have an internal stereo is taking it to a whole new dimension. How did you gain this superpower? Please share your secret That top ten artists I've obsessed about in the last two years or so I mentioned earlier...Pavement's one of them. A big one. My favorite track of theirs is the phenomenal and underrated in the mouth of a desert but they have an incredibly consistent catalog , an obscure b-side such as their Echo & The Bunnymen cover can blow you away. Updated last.fm pla

Definitely one of the best new albums I've picked up in a while, I can't say much about the individual songs because I always put this cd on for the whole runtime and I kind of fade away into thought a lot when listening to some types of music. Definitely not a watered down version of The Shins, this band, really worth a look.

I remember my mother's sister's husband's brother working in the goldmine fulltime filling in for sunshine filing into tight lines, ordinary beehives the door screams, "I hate you, hate you hanging round my blue jeans" why is there no breeze? no currency of leaves? no current through the water while no feelings I can see I trust no emotion I believe in locomotion That turn to rust as we discuss though I must have let you down too many times in the dirt and the dust I have no idea how this happens all my maps have been overwrote happenstance has changed my plans so many times my heart h

I find myself listening to their first two albums more frequently than the others, I thought the new one was mostly misses and one hit namely their David Bowie cover Starman. Pecan Pie ranks up there with my favorite layed back songs, Radio King is so simple and so beautiful, but for some reason the song that keeps fascinating me of theirs is "White Shell Road", I have no idea whatsoever why I listen to it so much, I guess the intrigue of why I like it so much keeps me listening to it more; trying to figure it out. I guess they don't tour much anymore (or at all) which is a shame b/c the comme

For every one of my ten favorite bands there's been a period of two month of almost exclusive listening. Here's my current last.fm stats. Wilco 342 Golden Smog 282 Jeff Tweedy 231 Pearl Jam 104 Elliott Smith 66 PJ Harvey 56 Josh Rouse 48 Aimee Mann 48 The Olivia Tremor Control 36 I've only recently installed this scrobbler feature. 2217 plays in recent history. Added up this makes for 40% Tweedy!

Three times yes, that'd be really interesting I think. Don't get me wrong, I love the straightforward version as well. AM songs are pretty straightforward too and they get performed by the whole band once in a while so why not really early stuff such as Gun. And especially a track like "Kingpin" is also a pure bred alt-country rocker, and that sounds great on Ashes of American Flags. Anyway, I guess I'm just in a stage in denial about this...I'll never get to hear it live .

Robert Sean Leonard annoyed the crickets out of me in Dead Poets Society, and in an Ethan Hawke direction? Wow now that's a double whammy if I ever saw one. Anyway, good soundtrack but I seldom hear good things about this movie. I guess I break my own rules because I hate people who have opinions about movies they haven't seen.

...they played "Gun"? I've only heard versions on bootlegs of Jeff Tweedy solo shows, but I'd kill my proverbial firstborn to hear the full line-up knock this out of the park. Anyone with info on this? It'd be a shame if it'd disappeared from their setlist forever.

I heard it wasn't really worth going out of my way to see it, but I love the soundtrack (I promise you and you promise me...not to admit defeat )

Since you mention it, when that 'american songwriter' list came out I got to working on my own, painstakingly these were the last songs standing; nota bene purely based on the songwriting merits (I left out any Guthrie stuff). Quite a few overlaps with the VC list, especially the top ten is rock solid from where I'm standing. 01.Via Chicago 02.I Am Trying To Break Your Heart 03.Jesus, etc. 04.Ashes of American Flags 05.Pieholden Suite 06.Reservations 07.Hummingbird 08.Sunken Treasure 09.Misunderstood 10.Radio Cure 11.A Shot in the Arm 12.Handshake Drugs 13.She’s a Jar 14.Laminated Cat 15.Bl

I caught this on a blog I frequently visit the other day, a really really great rendition of one of the strongest tracks on WTA. Does anyone know if there are any other sessions like this and the black cab sessions. It's really a little gift to get through the day with if you can find an intimate performance of some of your favorite bands.

Looking out the door i see the rain fall upon the funeral mourners Parading in a wake of sad relations as their shoes fill up with water And maybe i'm too young to keep good love from going wrong But tonight you're on my mind so you never know Broken down and hungry for your love with no way to feed it Where are you tonight, child you know how much i need it Too young to hold on and too old to just break free and run Sometimes a man gets carried away, when he feels like he should be having his fun And much too blind to see the damage he's done Sometimes a man must awake to find that really

² great film

haha, banter doesn't get more personal than that. I imagine you imagine a solo concert in your living room?

I think he actually answered his own question by making "Gran Torino". That's as close he's come to Dirty Harry without actually being Dirty Harry.

I stand corrected, I love Beulah.

lol ur kidding right.
