Don't forget the all request show at the last Solid Sound for it's uniqueness if for nothing else.

Plus at the very beginning you can hear my kids yell "Mama says hi!", it was their first taping experience, they thought it would be funny and looking back they were right! The trade offs of taping, get your gear wet or "hear" the rain.

Just because you repeat it over and over doesn't make it fact, the Indiana law is NOTHING like the laws in the other states, the other states laws PREVENT discrimination, the Indiana not only allows it, but has provisions in it to preemptively prohibit lawsuits because of it, that's pretty messed up. The Governor said that "tolerance is a two way street", so the law is intended to protect the religious rights of those who are intolerant. All that being said I believe it was probably a bad idea to cancel the show, it really only hurts their fans, probably turning the whole thing into a benef

Ten Second News is on the first Son Volt record.

No, Thursday will be DSO, Friday is usually Jamband Headliner, they will either play Saturday night or late Sunday afternoon, "headliners" have played both slots so until it's announced it's hard to tell, I'm guessing it'll be Saturday night, but Sunday is a real possibility being that it's generally more family oriented.

Gathering Of The Vibes are put on by a bunch of friends of mine, actually it's a lot of the same group of people who work Solid Sound, that's the connection. A great bunch of people, our roots go back to the 80s working a couple festivals in Norwalk CT. A lot of this same crew also work Lockin and some do work at the Capitol Theater, and many other Festivals all Summer long. Ken who runs Terrapin Presents (GOTV) is a Wilco fan and he has tried getting them in the past, I'm very excited for this, this is the one I've been waiting for ;^)

I know I'm a bit late, had to wait for tax returns this year, but I just bought 4 tickets for Solid Sound, my kids will be in effect again this year!!! Working on my room, shouldn't be a problem the owner reserves 7 rooms for my friends and I.

MMJ, wow, that's a biggie, I've seen them a bunch of times and have always loved their show. However I'm not really sure how'd they fit in, I don't see them "opening" for Wilco on a Friday or Saturday night although they did go on before Wilco on Americanarama. My guess is they would play Sunday, on the one hand that's kinda good cause Sunday's are slower days where most Wilco fans are on their way home and it would leave lots of room for the MMJ fans. On the other hand I was hoping for a Friday and Saturday Wilco show and a Sunday TWEEDY show.

Coolest Thing Ever!!!

It's confusing I know, but you need to go to the Wilco Store, then the roadcase in there, why they called it the same thing I don't know.

Anyone else wonder why the "A Shot In The Arm" remix is on this box, it's the same version that's on my Summerteeth cd, I always thought all the releases came with that and Candyfloss, just seems weird that they included a track from a cd release as a rarity, I guess it's rare for someone who didn't make it through the 14 seconds of silence ;^) and if that's the criteria why isn't Candyfloss on here? Overall a very nice selection of songs, all the non album songs from And Sum Aren't, everything from More Like the Moon, everything from the Sky Blue Sky bonus cd, however it is missing two so

With Wilco, it's been one of the longer gaps now in-between releasing a record. Why is that? JT: I think it's been really healthy. Everyone in Wilco's always been really engaged outside of the band and even more so as we've gotten older and different musicians have joined the band. Every time I see Nels [Cline, Wilco guitarist], he's made five more records. But I don't know, I think that there was maybe some sense that the [last] Wilco record was taken for granted a little bit, not necessarily by critics, maybe by ourselves, and being confident about what we're able to do in the studio. The

Does this mean that Laurie Anderson will be playing the next Solid Sound?

I haven't taken notes really, I seem to recall the Solid Sound ones sounding real good, I actually pick what I'm gonna listen to from song selection more then sound quality, I still have some of the old roadcase live streams in my rotation and some of those sound piss poor ;^)

I'll start by saying I fully enjoy these releases and I was standing right next to the room mics used for all three shows, so sonically speaking these shows sound to me like they did while I was there in that they occupy the same sonic space. However as an engineer I believe these are not among the best sounding of the Roadcase shows, some of which I believe sound really good actually. The mix is off, they lack low end, Jeff's acoustic is too loud in the mix at times and doesn't sound as natural as it did in the room for example, now I could get into boring details on why that is, but I won'

I don't know about Phil sitting in, that would be sweet though, but they are at the Cap home of some of the greatest Dark Stars EVER including the ESP show and Wilco have played a couple of pretty decent Dark Stars themselves.

How does it compare to the Micro QTron?

How is that Neutrino?

I'm right there with you, I didn't have any more days off from work so I couldn't do it this time, I am however hitting all three Port Chester shows, so that should be fun.

That capped off a great week of music, besides the UT/Mats show we also had the Social Distortion/Sonic Youth/Neil Young & Crazy Horse tour in the area and I caught that a few times including two days before the Mats show.

I don't know, I guess it's a different experience for everyone, I had no VIP, just went Saturday and Sunday and thought the Lockin' crew did an awesome job! I'm not a rail rat, I'm an old retired sound engineer, I "hear" a band I don't "see" a band, besides I can't stay in one place all day, I need the freedom to get a drink or eat and not deal with a crowd of sardines, so we went straight to rail behind VIP, the crowd was manageable and the sound was great, I loved the whole deal, they did this one right, if it were closer I'd go every year.

1) Wherever 2) We've Been Had 3) The Long Cut 4) Gun 5) If That's Alright "Wherever" would be my only pick if I only had one, the other 4 are kind of obvious but much more likely picks.

He's clearly having fun and there is no question he's a great bass player however it appears to me as though he's a little out of his element and perhaps going though a what am I suppose to do here syndrome. It would be funny to see him in a band with Pat, who else could be in my imaginary band The Rock n Roll Posers?

Music provides refuge in Tweedy family's health crisis After drumming — and drumming well — on Mavis Staples' "One True Vine" album last year that was produced by his father, Wilco founder Jeff Tweedy, Spencer Tweedy might've been justified in feeling confident about future family collaborations. But, in keeping with his playing style, the 18-year-old drummer kept it humble as his dad began recording songs for what would become "Sukierae" (dBpm Records), the father-son duo's debut album released Tuesday under the group name Tweedy. "Even though I'd been working on Mavis' record for month

Great article! I have a feeling that's not how he writes every song, I think he has ideas and phrases in mind, you can read Adult Head and get the sense that he has a framework for certain songs and then he crafts those to work within a more structured song, he is indeed a very gifted person!
