Considering all that's being said about Dylan's lack of interaction with his fellow performers, I guess I should feel fortunate that I saw him several years ago in Detroit. For the final encore, he was joined by surprise guest Jack White. They did "Ball and Biscuit". Dylan started out the vocals but Jack took over while Dylan played keyboard. It was pretty cool.

I want to work where you work.

My Morning Jacket with Band of Horses in Toronto. Can't wait!

I'll support my favourite band through my concert tickets and I'll buy a t-shirt at the show, but I've got to buy the new album/CD from our only independent record store.

I think the guys would understand.

The whole interview is not up on the site yet, but should be soon. In the meantime, in the Musical Performances section, there is an amazing performance of "Open Your Mind".

Can't wait for the new album.

Not Wilco, but I just heard Autumn Defense "Step Easy" on WDET Detroit.

What about Handshake Drugs? They killed that song!!

I wanted to add my kudos to the band for a terrific show on Friday night! It was a long drive and I had my doubts about seeing them in a ballpark. I was worried about sound and visibility. I can't believe that I almost didn't make the trip!

There may be longer shows or more intimate shows, but to me, it was a perfect night. The atmosphere was wonderful. The band and audience were in great spirits and very appreciative of each other. Standing close to the stage I didn't have to worry about the sensory experience. They sounded great and seeing the band perform in natural light and then with stage lighting as it got darker was cool.

I heard some songs in a way that I've never heard them before, e.g. Walken. Although I've never met a Wilco song I didn't like, admittedly, that one hasn't been a favorite - a little too bouncy(?) for me. I've seen them play the song live before and I listen to different versions of it, but they really rocked it on Friday night!! They also played my request (yeah) and the rest of the setlist was stellar - a brilliant mix with a few surprises.

Of course there were a few other things that I would have liked to hear, but I'm not really going to complain about 2 1/2 hours and 29 songs in a pleasant venue. Thanks Wilco, for a great show!!

Am planning to attend the show on Friday. Can anyone tell me what we can and can't bring into the stadium? I thought I read it somewhere but can't find it now.

Thanks.

Heard "One Wing" in a Toronto grocery store yesterday. Had to loiter under a speaker until it was finished.

Great show with lots of energy. I'm curious why Jeff never mentions that the audience always turns the YOU CAN COMBINE ANYTHING YOU WANT verse of Jesus, Etc... into YOU CAN COME BY ANYTIME YOU WANT?

I wondered that as well. At the London show the audience messed that up and Jeff gave them a funny look but never mentioned it.
