Damn, taking most if not all of 2018 off? I already am jonesing for a Wilco show (last seen at Solid Sound), the thought of having to wait until 2019 is kind of a major bummer!

Love the song, love the video! Sucks that I'll be out of town when the tour hits Boston. (well, I'll be in Nashville with friends celebrating a birthday, so I shouldn't complain, but you know what I mean...)

My Daughter's Wedding

This popped up today on my feed as a Facebook memory. The August 2010 article in Berkshire Living that I linked to is no longer available, but I quoted a portion of it: OK, I think this reviewer got it exactly right: “Beauty” is not an aesthetic value that ranks high on the list for rock music. But it’s the word I keep coming back to when going over last night’s stunning, transcendent concert by Wilco. Beauty. In every sense of the word. The music was beautiful. The setting was beautiful; downright gorgeous. The visuals – the lighting and tableaux – were beautiful. The weather was beauti

That first one was something special. Like our own private little party in the Berkshires.

That's a good show, have fun!

The New Mastersounds

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll be buying at least a couple more. I couch-toured the 8/2 show(didn't buy the mp3 combo), and loved it.

Love Katy Tur. "I wonder if the Republicans are going to split open and melt." Just one among the many great references. https://www.jambase.com/article/msnbc-host-katy-tur-works-10-phish-references-meet-press

This was an amazing feat. 236 different songs over 13 nights. The brain power and talent to be able to pull that off, 4 individual musicians in sync over that amount of material, performed in front of 18,000+ people, is beyond comprehension to me. Regardless of what one may think of their music. Having watched or listened to most, what would be your top 3 or so suggestions to buy. I bought the Red Velvet download, and did the pay per view for last Tuesday and Wednesday. I'm pretty sure I want to have the last night. Any others you suggest? Short of all 13.

Of course I also don't think about "supremacy" when at a show, or listening to music anywhere. I think his point that traditionally the music industry, not necessarily the artists themselves or music fans, measures success in numbers of albums sold as reflected in standing on the music charts (with a bullet!). When many bands and their fans couldn't give a hoot about album sales or chart standings. You'll never see Phish (or any other number of bands) on the charts, but that they can deliver something like the Bakers Dozen, to an ecstatic fan base, doesn't get measured. It's an old and oft rep

UBerlin, on Collapse, is one of my faves from any era. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Love George: "I'm gonna drop a funk bomb on you."

Thanks for that link. Last night was great!

So sorry to hear this.

He did? How did I miss that? Loving tonight's show (again, from my couch)

Very insightful and accurate

Phish couch tour. As close as I can get to Live! Tonight!

Maple Glaze with Cinnamon Icing, have a blast! I'm stuck here in MA and won't be making any trips down to MSG. Frustrating!

For any Elvis fans still here on VC, last week the podcast Rockin' the Suburbs did a full week on Elvis. The first four albums were each covered on Mon-Thurs, and then Friday was a wrap-up and discussion of the rest of his career and ongoing Imperial Bedroom tour. I lived through each of those first 4 albums in real time, so this series was really nice for me and got me listening to some Elvis again.

I love a list! It's meaningless, but I'll definitely spend some time with this one. Which if nothing else will compel me to spend lots of time listening to R.E.M. They were my #1 for many years.

Boy, a full blown Mt. Jam would have been nice during the Jam Filled show

I assume not the first time, but how long since BB was on stage with Wilco? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
