There are also two version of Spiders (Kidsmoke). The album version but now the band seems to play a Jeff Tweedy solo arrangement just as/more often.

The fact that I got to see this show has taken weeks to set in. It's crazy, me, five hundred other people, one of my favorite comedians, my favorite band, all in their smallest venue since 2002... You can't describe something like that to someone. The show was only highlighted by the fact that my dad somehow got VIP tickets as an early Christmas present. Which not only involved me watching Fred Armisen right next to John, Pat and Glen but meeting Jeff and John before the show in the green room. (When asked by Jeff if there were any songs I would like to hear I said 'Um... All of them.' Oh well maybe next time...) After meeting those two they could have gone on stage and played all Black Eyed Peas and it would have been the best show of my life. But they didn't. They played the most awesome setlist ever (as I have described it to people "the setlist for the dedicated Wilco fan"). When it comes down to it every song was great but for me On and On and On really takes the cake. Less the song its self and more Jeff's speech before hand talking about the Lounge Axe. During that song is when it hit me that we were all sharing something with each other and with the band. I was never alive to go to Lounge Axe but I understand the significance in Jeff's life, and to see Wilco play (basically) there after all this time..... I just don't think it will ever be repeated. My thoughts are still scattered, but one thing I can clearly articulate is that after that show I realized that I'm so lucky to love Wilco the way I do. On a selfish level, the amount of joy it brings me something that I am extremely grateful for. But on a more communal level, me, those five hundred other people, and countless others who couldn't make the show all share this joy for something that, in my mind, really almost makes us a family. It is quite a magical thing, and I don't think happens to often. All I can say is I'm glad to be part of it.

He talks about a second city benefit. Is there a recording of that? This is awesome, it's like the conversation with Jeff Tweedy I've never had but always wanted to.

This is the biggest piece of shit ever. I only listened to The Whole Love out of all the albums nominated but thats because everyone else sucks and WILCO is the best. Am I close minded? Yes. Do I care? No. Wilco deserves the grammy. End of story. Im petitioning for a redo! WHO IS WITH ME!

Thats awesome! I'm sure I'll be spending a lot of time on there. Should there be another category for wilco songs arranged differently for solo acoustic, like Spiders (Kidsmoke)?

I have had an idea floating around in my head for a while. What if collectively we went through album by album picking the tabs of songs (or multiple versions for solo acoustic etc) and converged all the tabs into a folder. Then someone could post the folder online and you could download the complete collection or just select songs. The hard part would be picking the best tabs or tabbing out things for the first time. I don't know. Just an idea.

Here is what I got for the Standing O tab. My source was one of the videos on youtube. There are the three main chords shifts and then the chorus chords plus the intro and thats all that Jeff plays. During Nel's solo he just plays E and then quickly will shoot up for a Dm (at the 'duh duh.' If that makes any sense, if not it's on the video.) As always any and all corrections are welcome!!! Enjoy!

P.S. The spacing is all wrong but it should make sense pretty quickly.

Im getting one for christmas... and I just wanted it. But I did find a mp3 version.

Has anyone tabbed out the fingerpicking part in the St. Louis Magazine Video (at 2:09 here: http://stereogum.com/786622/wilco-dawned-on-me-live-video/news/) After three hours staring at it, I have a little bit figured out but honestly have no idea what he is doing. Some help would be awesome!

Man I wish I could hear this version. I bought the LP but due to a lack of a record player have yet to listen to it. It has just been sitting there screaming "Play me! Play me!" Does anyone know of a link to download this "definitive" version?

This is what Im getting...

So I posted a couple days ago asking for this tab... well.... Somehow I figured it out. This is based off the video of Jeff playing live at the Philly Folk Fest and at Farm Aid 25 (both can be found on the YOUTUBE.COM) In order to get a lot of the rhythms you have to listen to it but after a couple listen throughs its decipherable. Also I'm pretty sure he does some things in Riff 3 that I have not included here (obviously if someone wants to figure them out that would be awesome.) For the most part I feel like this is pretty complete but then again I could be totally wrong, any and all recommendations or total facelifts would be greatly appreciated.

I have the basic chord profession down and was just wondering how to do all the cool tricks that Jeff does in the sunken treasure DVD. Here is a good video (

) of some guy doing them but I still cant figure it out. Any and all help would be awesome!

Sounds pretty good to me!

Does anyone know the tab/chords to the Wherever off Anodyne? Haven't been able to find them anywhere (though that may be due to my lack of internet searching skills.)

Does anyone have the sheet music to Hummingbird and/or Jesus etc? Any and all help would be awesome!

This is the best I can find thus far.

What a awesome show, great venue, great setlist (finally got to hear 'Ill fight') and the band, as always, rocked. One of my favorite things was just to watch the band interact and really have a good time on stage. I also loved the almost solo-show seeming Sunken Treasure as the opening. Great songs in the encore, and a wonderful variety of old and new. Jeff, as always, was on top of comical game in-between songs.

One of my favorite things was where the show was. Being 16 and not able to drive I had to wait for a ride from my dad who was able to leave work early, and we ended up leaving at around 3 thinking we had plenty of time. Well we never calculated the time-zone change and traffic was terrible, we arrived finally in the middle of Yo La Tengos set, and still got in the third (and later in the evening Second) row, something I'm sure would have been impossible at a smaller venue.

Over all a awesome show, I cant wait to see them again, hopefully soon.

I personally think they are super cool. They add a extra cherry on top whenever they are worn. I just get a kick outta 'em.

thanks

Ok, who makes Jeffs awesome suit (I hope you all know which one I'm talking about.)

It was excellent, I got to support my old school, see some old friends, and listen to the man himself, two nights in a row. Very very happy!
