My friends told me he gave his acceptance speech at the Santa Barbara show, you didn't miss it did you?

Love Phish's playing, those guys can play: prog rock, bluegrass, rock, reggae, acapella. But they don't write lyrics that have much if any meaning. And the Allmans and Dead tower above them.

Current blind spots: Bon Iver and Radiohead. I feel like I *should* like their music and I try, but just don't. Going back year's, I agree with the discussion on Pet Sounds. Never got that album.

For this era of FM, get the Live in Boston Remastered series. Recorded at the Boston Tea Party, I think in 1969.

Inverse for me. Mi used to love Springsteen and see him everywhere I could from about '77 on. Now you couldn't pay me to go see him. Somewhere along the way, his music, and crowd, stopped speaking to me.

Love this era of FM. Bare Trees was one of our faves in high school. Then came the Buckingham/Nicks era, and I thought it was all cheese ball mainstream pap. Then on a lark I scored a ticket outside in St. Louis at the height of their popularity with that white Fleetwood Mac album, and was completely blown away by how great a live band they were. I had a musical blind spot.

So glad to hear that. My closest lifelong friends were seeing their first Wilco show. People I started going to shows with in 1973. Can't wait for them to wake up and check in with the east coast.

I've never been (this will be its 3rd year), but have heard good things. It's right on the beach, how bad could that be?!

I was 6 years old, and remember it well.

Be happy to let you know. I'm interested to see how this show is configured: I think it's a set for Sticky Fingers, then another set of KDTU.

In the first of what I've seen for a U.S. Wilco spring/summer date, it's been announced that Wilco will be at Hangout Music Festival. The dates are May 18-20, though don't know what day Wilco is booked for. Never been, but always looks like a nice festival right on the beach. http://lineup.hangoutmusicfest.com/

Karl Denson's Tiny Universe and Anders Osborne doing Sticky Fingers, at Royale Boston.

Hmmmm, well it's on here in the Boston area. And I'm digging it.

Agreed. TWL gets like a 9.8 in my book. And I would give SBS a higher mark.

Ross, I sent you a message when you first posted this topic. Check your inbox.

I am someone who is active on FB, but don't feel the need to create a Wilco community there. Via Chicago is such a vibrant community for Wilco fans, I enjoy checking in here every day. Kinda reminds me of my days with the GD community on the WELL. I won't bash FB, but I would hate to see the VC energy get dissipated in any way.

Thanks! There's something so comforting about the fuzz and rumble of Neil and Crazy Horse.

That is just about the coolest thing I've ever seen.

Very interesting to say the least. After he turned down the band's invite to play with them during the 40th anniversary beacon run in '09 I thought for sure I'd never see them on stage together again.

Didn't like the song too much on the album. But I think it comes alive and is a killer tune in the live setting. Not to say I want to hear it at every show, but still think it's a balls to the walls rocker live.

I Might number 44 on the singles chart. http://www.villagevoice.com/pazznjop/singles/2011/

TWL comes in at number 22.

I was just about to also quote that answer. Love that response. Capitol City may not be my favorite on TWL, but it's a fun little ditty.
