Can someone send the link again it doesn't appear to be working. Thanks!

I have met my share of celebs and I gotta say, it is such an AMAZING feeling - good or bad with the experience - so I know how special that was for you!  How incredible!  Knowing you will always remember that night is something you will carry forever.  Simply.  Perfect.  And great job!!!

So probably like a lot of my fellow Wilco fans, we love to discover new music that isn't quite mainstream.  So I heard about this band called Laura Jane Grace and the Devouring Mothers.  They are punk?  Maybe.  I don't know.  Nothing like Wilco, but I dig it.  Anyway, they have a song called 'I hate Chicago' that name drops Wilco and I find it hilarious! I am not a drama starter and not trying to push buttons, I just thought maybe some of you would check it out and get a smile as I did.  Sorry I don't have a link but it can be located on Youtube (of course). 

Laura Jane Grace and the Devouring Mothers

I hate Chicago

Consider me ignorant but will this be a major release that we can get on CD?

Wilco has always been outstanding - to me - at the choices they put in their setlist!  I am always satisfied with 'lost nuggets'.  My fav show was in Clearwater when they did 'An Evening With Wilco' where they did the unplugged ACT 2. 

John Mellencamp is one of my heroes from a storyteller standpoint.  His music and lyrics have always meant so much to me but his live show has always been awful.  He plays the same damn songs, tells the same damn stories, and his shows are over after roughly 12-15 songs.  Way too short.  I don't think I have ever seen him perform over an hour and a half.  He DOES put on a good show, but he always seems to be going through the motions.

I know this has been done before, but what the hell?  Let's do it again!  It is VERY hard to pick one, but you must!  I have several rambling around in my brain right now, but I have to select one; said rules.  And that honor goes to....

VIA CHICAGO

It's total bullshit that he isn't wearing a CUBS hat.  Regardless of being in St. Louis....

Come on, Jeff.

Yeah, I guess my post isn't easy to understand.  It's not the lack of emotion in the lyrics that I miss.  Some have stated that Jeff has written some really incredible lyrics for both Sukiarie and Star Wars.  Agreed.  He is an epic storyteller!  I liked Star Wars!  I even liked The Whole Love.  Sukiarie, not so much.  I am going to try one more time.  Not ONE song has grabbed me and left me wanting to play it over and over since YHF.  I can't explain it, and it's just me and my opinion.  I don't know the reason.  Maybe I need therapy...

I am not a troll!  That being said, I am not loving the direction Wilco is going AS A FAN.  I still love me some Tweedy and the boys, but as someone alluded to earlier, they just aren't the same.  And I am all for changing direction with the sound and what not.  I am.  However, although Star Wars was a great piece of work, I miss the days where I could close my eyes and get lost in their world.  Now it is just noise.  The lyrics are so scatterbrained that I can't make sense of them.  Granted, some of their older stuff, a la SummerTeeth was the same.  It is hard to explain.  Emotion?  Maybe that's it.  I used to hear the pain that Jeff was going through and I could empathize, but not I just hear random words with chaotic music.  I do miss melody.  And where has Nels run off to?  Again, I am not hating on Wilco, so you can bash me all you like, but that is not where I am coming from.  Anyone?

I want a hard copy!  I don't know how to do this computer shit.  Can someone help? 

Is this the 'Loose Fur' record that has been rumored for a while now?

I would post a picture but my dumbass can't figure it out lol.  I will be the white guy with the puerto rican guy haha.   But not together.  Not that there is anything wrong with that. 

Thanks.  I am giddy!  My favorite band in a new venue.  An excellent venue by the way.  Surrounded by so much entertainment.  Thanks!

This is going to be my 4th time seeing Wilco.  First time in Clearwater, 2nd in Indy, 3rd in St. Augustine last year or the year before.  Shit, I'm getting old.  I am bringing a buddy of mine.  Just two guys hanging out.  Gonna check out city walk, get a bite, drink some brews.  Got a hotel down the street.  Taxing it, baby!  I am so excited and just wanted to give a shout out to my fellow Wilco fans.  See you tomorrow!  Listening to Wilco Alpha Mike Foxtrot right now and having some brews in the cave at home in preparation.  Anyone from Melbourne area?

Bob

I saw Wilco at Anastasia last year, and it was an amazing show.  The power went out mid-song, and the band kept playing like it was live.  Very cool.  Tweedy even complimented the audience, saying how great we were.  Awww.  Anyway, yes, there is a beautiful place to kayak in the park.  Rather inexpensive and a very good time.  Maybe you'll see the band out there.  Just look out for the sandbars!

Bob

I don't know the answer to that, and not sure how to find out.

So I got 2 tickets to the Orlando show on the pre-sale.  Is there an advantage considering the venue is for general admission?

I must be in the minority, but I don't like it.  Not a fan.  I have listened many times waiting for it to grow on me.  I feel like a shitty Tweedy fan now lol.

I would add 'At Least That's What You Said', and 'You Are My Face.'

Bob

Amazing video!  Loved it.  Tell me where have I seen Steven before?

I really love that Jeff played piano on "Where My Love". 

Also, one cool thing about him having this whole solo record thing is that he's on Twitter, and actually tweeting a little. I don't think he's ever really done anything on any type of social media (except maybe posting here one or 2 times)... so it is neat to see. 

Interesting.  I always thought Jeff was supremely opposed to social media.  Actually, that is what I am getting out of his leading track, 'Please Don't Let Me Be So Understood.'

Great song and I would love the tab as well. I actually think Vol III isn't half bad. Bob

I would love to meet the band, but I would be happy to ask one question that I have always wanted to know since my girlfriend brought up the idea of 'At Least That's What You Said.' She thinks that the music after the 'spoken' intro is a continuation of the conversation. I thought she was nuts until I truly concentrated on the song and found out she may be right! We may be crazy, but I would like to give Jeff the chance to tell me whether or not it's true.

Bob

Everlasting Everything is my least favorite Wilco song...ever.

Bob

I do not speak from experience, but from others throughout the years talking about it here on the board, it is rather hard, but not impossible. Jeff is like a ghost when it comes to pics. He is hard to capture, but when you do, he sometimes will give photos. If you watch the doc, I am trying to break your heart, you see a few times that Jeff is just not very comfortable in a one on one or small group setting. I would love to meet the man myself one day, and won't give up hope. Bob
