Have it on now, and my memory is right. That Nassau 5/1/73 show is a terrible recording. Anyone else have it, or just my ears or discs?

I was listening to that State Theater show this week. It is what inspired my post about a Tweedy show. I definitely think he could sell the Wilbur. Berklee Performance Center would also be sweet.

In addition to SS'13 and as many Wilco shows as there are for me to see, I would love to see some Tweedy solo shows. In Boston.

File this under completely irrelevant to everyone but me, I was at that Nassau show. I have the disc, my memory is the recording is not all that great. I will have to check it out again.

Amen to that.

"Wilco, isn't that a band with a bunch of followers with receding hairlines." Then Lipp runs a scam where he gets the word out to all the "northsiders" that Wilco is doing a secret club gig and he runs a valet parking scam. It was a riot.

No idea what the song is about. But I rank it as one of the all-time great songs. As my buddy says, "Impossibly" great tune. The opaqueness of the lyrics, the melody, the 3 guitars wrapping around each other, Nels, the resolution. A masterpiece. I listen to mostly live Wilco when I listen to Wilco, and it looks boring on the setlist. Ho hum, another Impossible Germany. But then it comes on, and it never fails to move me. I think I'm bored with it, and then it just blows me away. Every time.

Wilco references all over last night's episode of Shameless.

I've resolved the live album/ no live album debate in my mind and come down squarely on the side of yes to live album. And so, added to my list, shooting straight to the top with bullets: The Allman Brothers Band- Live at Fillmore East. The most perfect of albums to my ears, still all these many years later. Grateful Dead- Europe '72 Lou Reed-Rock n Roll Animal Little Feat-Waiting for Columbus Jefferson Airplane-Bless Its Pointed Little Head And in the studio category, I add Hot Tuna- Burgers

Absolutely!

In the lexicon of Jazz Fest people, the Fleetwood Macs, Billy Joels, DMB's etc. are the "BNA"'s, Big Named Acts. In my experience, other than Wilco headlining on the Acura stage on Thursday in 2011, its not about the BNA's. It's about all the other incredible music that comes from the 10+ stages set up on the fairgrounds over 8 hours each day. And the late nights. I don't know if I'll see any of the second weekend BNA's, maybe Panic. But I know I'll have the best 4 days and nights of music of the year. Other than Solid Sound, of course.

Lineups announced yesterday. I'm going second weekend. I look forward to going regardless of the lineup, the fun of Jazz Fest is hearing all the great music I've never heard of and would never otherwise see, but very happy with the lineup for second weekend. Black Keys, Los Lobos, Galactic, Widespread, Patti, Jimmy Cliff, Trombone Shorty, Meter Men, and more I haven't even considered yet. Anyone else in?

This should be very cool. Warren and the Boston Pops doing Garcia/Dead music at Tanglewood. http://liveforlivemusic.com/news/the-jerry-garcia-symphonic-celebration/

Performing Ohm on Jimmy Fallon last night. He says at the end that there's a bonus song on his website, but I couldn't find it. http://www.latenightwithjimmyfallon.com/blogs/2013/01/yo-la-tengo-performs-ohm/

Wolftrap is in Virginia

I would add Miles-In A Silent Way. Just spun this vinyl with my morning coffee, absolutely a perfect album.

While pondering the live album debate, I would have to include these: Beatles-Abbey Road Dead-American Beauty Lucinda- Car Wheels Wilco-The Whole Love

Side 2 of Wake is one of my favorite song sequences of any GD studio releases.

I agree. But...there is something particularly special about the Wolftrap show to my ears. Very high energy opening sequence of songs.

Good catch. I listen to so much live Phish purchased from LivePhish.com or otherwise acquired that I forgot about A Live One. Probably my first introduction to the live wonder that is Phish.

If watching Phish live pay per view stream from MSG on my big screen through a surround sound system with a pitcher of margaritas counts as "seeing" a show, this goes onto my list. And we're still in the first set.

Not that many shows this year for me compared to most here I bet. Here's my tops: JazzFest second weekend. All of it, day and night, with a particular highlight being the original Meters show at the Howlin Wolf. Their first club gig in New Orleans in 30 years. They may be old, but they can play. Saw 2 Wilco shows, MassMoCA and Hartford. The Bushnell show gets a little higher rating because the sound was incredible. And because Lee Renaldo Band. Phish in Worcester, first night of summer tour as they set out and blew up all across America (as I'm watching the MSG pay per view right n

Me too. Billy swings by himself.
