Hyden: "You have to seize every opportunity to see a band like this." Yup.

My pleasure! I'm extra looking forward to my commute home and a chance to listen to this uninterrupted.

Hey Paul, help me out here with my memory. Where/when was the show that Tweedy specifically called you out and asked if you were going to start following the National? Was it a show that you weren't at, and he asked if you were off following them? Was it at Solid Sound? I can't remember if it happened at a show I was at or just have the recording. Anyhow, thanks for all the reporting for us. I was at the Wed and Thurs shows, didn't get a chance to work my way to the rail to say Hi to you and any other VC'ers. I jumped on the original announcement and made my plans thinking I was going to se -
Hey, each consumer is entitled to their view. Me, I come from a Grateful Dead and then Phish jamscene background, so I would love (actually, expect) a different set each night. Having said that, I was at the Wednesday and Thursday shows and was able to put aside my longing for completely different shows and take in every note and second of Thursday as if I hadnt heard many of those songs the night before. I promised myself ahead of time that I wasn’t going to succumb to the Setlist Blues, and I’m glad to say it was a success. From my perspective, I didn’t sense the band looked bored or tired.

With you on that Hotel Arizona difference maker. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Dead and Company

I just watched that Jack Straw on Colbert. That was very lame. It's also not representative of the few shows I've seen. But it does feed the narrative for those who aren't fans of this band. I'm going tonight, we'll see what they bring. After two fabulous Wilco shows in St. Paul, tonight will have to be a letdown!

Yes. And mostly You Satellite.

Hot show for sure. I was in a better spot for sound, a little further back on the soundboard platform. Sweet spot. Don’t know whether it was my improved sound zone or that this was a broadcast show, or just the vagaries of live shows, but I thought this one had a little extra oomph from the previous night. Loved all the substitute tunes, particularly Handshake and Arizona. Lots more banter from Mr. Tweedy. He even introduced the entire band. Boarding a flight home to Boston, so I’ll let Paul and others fill in the details. Onward to Solid Sound 2019! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I agree! Amazing live band. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I saw the Herring/McLaughlin show in Boston. Wow! A night of incredible music, especially but not limited to the guitars. McLaughlin is like 75 years old. His playing is still amazing-smooth, fast, and beautiful tone. Hadn’t seen him in like 40 years when I saw the original Mahavishnu at Avery Fisher Hall. Go see them if you can.

I’ll jump in. Fun fun night in St. Paul. When they originally announced the St. Louis>St. Paul run,there were two shows here. So when I saw these were the last shows until 2019, got tix for the 2 nights and booked airfare from Boston. Road trip time. They did not disappoint. Excelllent venue, very much reminds me of the State Theater in Portland ME. Old intimate theater that’s been redone with all floor seats removed, an elevating floor from front to back to the bar, easy access. The sound could have been better, but that could be a factor of where we were, in that zone between not being r

Wilco!

BTW, I have to note that there is more discussion of GD and other bands than of Wilco here these days. I'm still in a little bit of shock that there's no report of last night's show (in St. Louis of all places!) and that I had to go to FB to get a setlist. But let's keep the GD chatter going.

I'm catching them 2 nights during JazzFest! Ha! Yes, YMMV!

I found it at the Shot In the Arm fan group on FB

aah, the Miami Jai-Alai show. Always a favorite. Especially love that Spanish Jam.

I think Mayer "gets it" in a way that others haven't. And I love Warren to death, but Mayer has incorporated this music into his DNA in a way others haven't. I think his playing is great, as is his enthusiasm for the music. That being said, everything is so mid-tempo. THe last show I saw last summer, the entire show was at the same tempo, no variety from song to song. No doubt, JRAD is my favorite version of GD music to see live. By far. But the bottom line is, as was noted above, when I want to listen to GD music I listen to the Grateful Dead. I never put on any Dead and Co., and only occasio

I can offer the obvious answer: John Mayer. Which I believe to be not only the obvious answer, but the correct one as well Secondarily, Oteil, and Mayer's impact on Weir, which is based on perception, but I also believe it to be true. Perhaps I should give Weir more credit on his own, but I detect a noticeable uptick in his guitar playing and energy. Perhaps that's 100% the result of Weir himself, perhaps its partially the result of some emotional and creative spillover from having Mayer in the band. My $.02. But as your base proposition suggests, fans are much more enthused about this versio
