Being a sound engineer (and who else would read Mix Magazine?) I like the whole article, however what really caught my was this part "Schick, who will be returning to the Loft in October to work with Wilco on the band’s forthcoming album"

The electronic press kit for Mavis Staples’ new album, You Are Not Alone (Anti, out September 14), includes video of Staples and her producer, Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy, talking about the sessions in Wilco’s Loft studio in Chicago. “This session for me was the most joyful and uplifting and spiritual,” Staples says. “I feel this was meant to be.” Truly, it’s an inspired collaboration. Tweedy suggested all of the material on the album, and he clearly has the utmost respect for the gospel tradition that spawned the Staple Singers 50 years ago, but he also brought in two of his own gre

After reading this thread I was browsing the Wilco Store, and noticed they had some of the unsigned posters that guy was making outside the Poster display at Mass MoCA, figured what the hell, one more souvenir couldn't hurt, and made the splash. After the order was confirmed I checked back at the store, turns out I got the last one , I can't wait to get this baby framed!

Yes and when I play it on guitar too, hell just last night I was playing it, actually first I played this song I wrote for her for our 15th wedding anniversary using our wedding vows and then went into Via Chicago and she was like "ah oh, what did I do now"

And that just about sums it up, great job! What an awesome time, I'm sitting at work (listening to Wilco of course), and I'm still kind of in MassMoCA, weird, I'm standing in line for coffee this morning and I somehow expected to bump into John yet again. That they did this for us is so overwhelming unbelieveable that we could NEVER thank them enough!

You've got good taste, you can't really go wrong with either band, next year we hope to bring our kids, my oldest is 12, he's into Wilco, maybe I'll start sneaking some Radiohead onto his IPod for you.

If you went to Glenn's drum exhibit where he was talking about all the different sounds, someone asked him a question along the lines of 'have you ever used that on a Wilco record?' and his answer was ( sorry, paraphrasing here) 'well actaully yes, I just got out of the studio where I used it'!!! So I took that as a yes indeed they are currently making a new record

I spent over 25 years as a soundman, I'll do house left/right or stage left/right, however you want I was just (house)left of the snake in front of another taper (who had an umbrella). Yea I remember you, I felt bad for you when it started to rain, been there done that, it still kills me though, what I find odd is I haven't taped in several years, and yet I still have a mic stand umbrella in my car and I had it in my hand to bring in "just in case" but put it down for some reason. I'm pretty sure we didn't talk, before the show I was talkin' with my wife, another taper, and a couple who

You are a good man, probably better then I, we sat next to a couple who got engaged at a private party that Jeff played earlier this year I think, they waited around to hear about 3 songs when they had to leave to catch a flight out of Albany, we made sure we had Monday off ;^)

I was sitting next to the snake, in front of the guy with the stand a little in front of you. You used a stand and there was a guy to your right completely hand-held right?

While I am still a "member" of Rust, I haven't actively participated (or even received the digest in years), I was one of the three people who started Human Highway and Bad News Beat (and Rust Future actually) after the split in '97, it was a tough time to be sure, my Rustie name was/is "Arc", I hope this isn't a "bad" thing here ;^) So what was your take on Look Out For My Love, I personally thought it was both genius and histarical at the same time. Nice digs btw!

Very well said, I was also a DeadHead, and a taper, I see the connection, oh my old touring buds think I'm nuts they don't "get it". I put Solid Sound up there with any Dead experience I ever had, including Europe '90 (or my first Dark Star in '89). I only wish I hadn't sold all my old taping gear to buy guitars, but then again I get much more use out of the guitars :^) After meeting all of the band except Jeff, hell Glenn even sat and talked with us in the middle of the On Fillmore set (he was playing some tambourine w/ducks or something at the time), my wife is now on board, and she wan

This was, without a doubt the coolest festival ever! All the music was great, the people were awesome, the band was amazing, the way they just all hung out all weekend just talking to the fans, I'm still blown away, I could never have imagined anything so cool.

Sounds great, can't wait to hear the whole thing, and this comes from a long time taper and Old Sound Man. Which rig was yours (sorry I'm new to the forum) I was checking them out all weekend, we may have talked even.

I remember at Woodstock in '94 we were at a campsite about 5 or so miles away, they supplied an hourly shuttle back and forth between the site. I have no idea how it worked out because in a drunken stupor in the middle of the night (the night before the event even started) we torn down our camp site and set up at Woodstock. The point being they knew why they were booked that weekend and they did the right thing, I have no idea why all campgrounds wouldn't do this.

I'm very new to the site, but I am so excited for this, I can't even concentrate at work I've seen Wilco many times, I even got to see Uncle Tupelo once when they opened for the Replacements at Toads in New Haven, CT, my wife has seen Wilco three times but she is just starting to really "get" Wilco. We'll be staying at the Historic Valley Campground, and we were thinking about riding our bikes to the gig, anyone else staying there? John

All I can say is Thank You Wilco!!! I am a long time fan and I've been to countless shows, however I have never been able to get my wife into them, I've played her the discs, shown her the movies, she has even seen them twice as an opening act (Sheryl Crow '97 and Neil Young '08) and actually enjoyed both shows, but still never really got it. Finally I got her to go to the Hartford show and she was hesitant going in, even mocking my excitement (she went to sleep during both webcasts), however coming out of the show she was in, she wanted to go to Philly and Pittsburg (to hell with the kids I g
