    Hola!

    It's gonna be my first Solid Sound experience!!!

    It's good to know that there's a meet-up place for VC people.

    Though I haven't checked much on here lately and hardly post anything at all, it will be fun to come by and meet some of you!

     

    Cheers,

    The Autumn Defense Tour dates and new song

    in Just A Fan

    Hola!

    I haven't been around for some time but I've been thinking a lot about Wilco! ;o)

     

    I didn't find any info posted about The Autumn Defense's new & few tour dates. Here they are (US, London & Japan):

    And a new song from their forthcoming "Fifth" album:

    I just got myself a ticket for London's gig, though I don't live there and I'm not sure yet if I'll be able to make it... I hope so!

     

    Cheers all!

    Wilco 18/10/2012 - Sevilla

    Oh, I think she did great!! You can check out the video, she looked shy but she did wonderfully. I'm just too jealous! ;o) Imagine the situation, how brave of her to sing with Wilco live! 'Though in my case, if there ever was the chance, I would just faint, or even worse, would just go blank and stare speechless at Jeff...

     

    By the way, something I noticed about the audience: New fans! Young people on the first rows who were seeing the band live for the first time (at least in Madrid and Sevilla, the ones I talked to by my side). I must say the age on the first rows in Barcelona was older (just unaffordable to youngsters), but we all "oldies" rocked anyway!!!

    Great show in Sevilla last week! It was a cold and rainy day but the audience reacted with a really warm welcome! I loved the happy start with “Dawned on Me”, the crowd made a great effort with “Jesus, Etc”, and I loved hearing some “new songs” that had not been played on my previous concerts on that week: “War on War”, “California Stars”, “The Late Greats” and surprisingly “You And I”… This was sung in duet with a lovely lady called Elena (I think she had something to do with the organization of the concert). I really loved the slow “Spiders” version and hearing “Shouldn’t be Ashamed” again was magic. A guy with a really loud voice kept screaming “Passenger Side” throughout the show, but it was not played (luckily for me they played it in Madrid!!).

    The venue was terrible, a huge tent where the cold wind of the night filtered through the open entrances (and guys, people keep telling me that in Sevilla it usually is not that cold!), but even the band suffered from it (Mikael was wearing a jumper and scarf and Jeff mentioned that he had a cold). I missed the crazy dance on “Hoodoo Voodoo” to end as it was not played but “A Shot in the Arm” just made a fantastic finale to my week seeing the band in Spain… So, til next time, that I hope it won’t be too long!

    I just recorded one video, “You And I”. The sound is not too good but it just works! I may post some pics too in a few days… Cheers!

    Wilco - 15 Oct 2012, Barcelona

    in After The Show

    Back from the show!!! It's just too late now for a long report so I can only say that it was a brilliant concert! I really don't get tired of seeing the band playing and somehow they make every concert a new experience to me! With the Liceu they have already played all the classical venues in town so who knows where they'll be playing next time in Barcelona. They love this city, really, and Jeff thanked the audience a few times... The concert wasn't sold out (tickets were really expensive) but it looked quite full in the end. I was quite surprised for the really rocker start (as I was wrongly expecting One Sunday Morning... I really missed not listening to it), was very, very happy to listen to Shouldn't be Ashamed, and they played wonderfully, as usual. Nels got an standing ovation after Impossible Germany, Jeff covered his ears as he couldn't understand the requests some people shouted at the same time, joked about playing in an opera house, he asked if we were having a good time and said that sure not as good as the one they have when they are playing... Oh, curiosity, Elijah Wood (the actor) was at the concert (and he is... not tall... but had a lovely happy face! ;o)

    And more tomorrow, as I head to Madrid!!! Check out in case they are streaming on the radio the show too (that's what I heard)

    Wilco - new Tour in SPAIN October 2012

    Hola!

    I still got a few days of holidays in October so I decided yesterday to extend my Wilco tour in Spain... So, besides Barcelona, I'll try to make it to Madrid and Sevilla!! I also decided against Murcia's show for the same fears of the audience not being too supportive to Wilco's music! ;o) I hope we are all wrong and you also have a fab time in Murcia! So see you maybe in Madrid?

    Wilco - new Tour in SPAIN October 2012

    in Just A Fan

    Yesterday's excitement about seeing the band live again covered the harsh reality of those prices... With what's going on in this country now I really don't know how many fans will be able to afford the tickets! I just checked for Liceu and obviously the ones being sold most are the seats on the top side balconies at 38 euro (also cheaper than last years prices at Palau de la Musica). And in Barcelona's case this time, I think the prices have to do with the chosen venue.

     

    As you can imagine there are still plenty at 85 & 125 euros... So dear Wilco, make it a long and unforgettable concert, please!!!!

    So excited to know that Wilco will be back in Spain next October, and more excited to have just got my tickets for their show at the Liceu in Barcelona!!!! The most amazing seated venue (an impressive opera hall by the Ramblas in the city center). I assume the rest of the dates are also seated venues...

     

    Dates are:

    14 Oct 2012 / Bilbao, Spain / Palacio Euskalduna

    15 Oct 2012 / Barcelona, Spain / Liceu

    16 Oct 2012 / Madrid, Spain / Palacio Vistalegre

    18 Oct 2012 / Sevilla, Spain / Auditorio Rocio Jurado

     

    Thanks WILCO!!!!!!!!!

    Wilco - 5/30/2012 Primavera Sound Festival, Barcelona, Spain

    in After The Show

    The pics are from the rehearsals of the show at a venue in town (the second space of Sala Apolo), far from the location of the main Festival. They also have some showcases and start and end of the week performances at that club:

    I assume the Wilco guys were at the Forum and just joined the band for the real show (that I missed completely! I was listening to The Cure instead, and if I had known I could have been at both as The Cure played for more than 3 hours...). I bumped into Nels Cline by the end of The Cure's performance and he was amazed at their long set!

    Dawned On Me Spanish Version

    in Just A Fan

    Posted

    Oooh, my God!!!!!! I've just listened to it... First I thought it was a video with the translated subtitles written on but no, it's Jeff doing a great effort at singing in Spanish!!!! Ok, "Dawned on Me" is one of my favourite songs on the last record and his singing is great but the words, even being the right translated Spanish words, don't make it easy to listen to, and neither to sing for him... But I really appreciate the try and maybe he can go on improving this version in the future! ;o)

    Hola! Sí, hubiera sido demasiado arriesgado! La tienda es minúscula y se creó bastante expectación aunque pensé que iba a ser más caótico. Supongo que mucha gente debió de pensar lo mismo y ya no se acercó en masa... Bueno, fue una experiencia entrañable. Los fans estábamos como en una nube, felices y expectantes pero casi sin atrevernos a hacer ruido por no molestar mientras tocaban y ellos muy relajados y de buen rollo!

    Ah, la conversación con los chicos fue muy cortita: mientras iban firmando les agradecí que vinieran siempre a Barcelona, comentaron su cariño al público de aquí, y ya está!

    Ooh no, thanks to Wilco for sharing that special time with their fans from Barcelona!! It was truly a gift! So here you have one of my mini clips (I can't seem to be be able to add more that one at a time):

    Live from Barcelona (5-31-12)

    Hola!!!!

    I was at the concert at Primavera Sound (I agree that the set seemed too short to me) but it was a really good concert!!!! And they truly seemed to mean it when they said they love to play in Barcelona!

    I also was one of the few lucky people that was able to see them playing at Revolver records. You can check their Twitter site where they have been updating info: @RevolverRecBCN #wilcoenrevolver

    The record store announced the show the previous afternoon and had a contest in twitter to give 10 tickets for the front rows (I was REALLY lucky to get one of them). And I can assure you that the shop is as tiny as it looks! It was real fun and such an amazing experience to see them playing so close... It sounded quiet and beautiful and the band seemed to be enjoying themselves a lot (in a relaxed way) though I believe we were all too overwhelmed with the situation and we hardly dared to sing along until the last songs... The acoustic version of Heavy Metal Drummer was great, with Glen playing his "handmade" percussion kit placed on top of a chair... I'll try to post some pics and also two shorts clips I recorded (just the bit ends of "California Stars" and "Heavy Metal Drummer"... I didn't feel like recording that much as I was just enjoying the moment). They stayed after to sign records for all people (inside and also those listening and applauding outside on the street). So all in all two unforgetable days with Wilco in town!
