Not only Weir and Wilco, but Courtney! Jim James, Kurt Vile and J Macsis, Ira...the list goes on and on.

Holy smokes, that looks like this will be incredible!

Does look good, but I went with Lobos on 4/29 (passing up JRAD) and Galactic (4/30)

I've seen DT dozens of times in various configurations. No doubt he deserves all the accolades he gets. Does incredible things on the guitar, and not flash, but so tasty. Apropos of the convo here about EC, if you haven't seen this, take 54 minutes and watch this segment of the ABB with Clapton from the Beacon. I grew up with the Layla album and always a big ABB/Duane and EC fan. I was fortunate to be at this show, one of the highlights of my concert life. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pb22MYqdugE And if you have a few more minutes, love this TTB tour with George Porter Jr. on bass

A head's up, you likely know there are 10+ different stages/tents at Fest. Until they release the actual cubes, the daily schedules, you won't know for sure who will be playing at the same time on different stages. That being said, there is a certain order to the artists named on the daily schedule. I'm pretty sure the top billed artists will be headlining the different stages for the last set of the day. For instance, I expect Paul Simon will be headlining on the Acura Stage (the largest stage) while MMJ will be closing the Gentilly Stage (the 2nd largest). Those 2 stages are at opposite

Kidding, right?

I agree with all of that Shug. It's been on my mind to post something exactly like that, but then I can never muster the energy for putting all my thoughts together in a coherent writing. Thanks for doing that. I'm not be any means a Clapton fanatic, but to my ears he's always been among the absolute best electric guitar players until perhaps the last 5-7 years where I've seen a slowdown of his fingers. It's also stunning to me to hear folks say he's an overrated guitar player.

I much prefer the uptempo '73 style.

So I see I'm not the only one whose posts from Tapatalk on an iOs device include all that gibberish

Love Chalkdust as second set opener Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

One of the best openers I ever saw. I had no idea what to expect at that show. Then, after having skipped SS the previous summer, to come out rocking with this was absolute perfection. I had a huge smile on my face the entire song, and I've since listened to it many times and it never fails to put that smile right back on my face. Statesboro Blues- Allmans And if we're talking live shows, Via Chicago. Specifically, when they opened for Neil in Worcester, and snapped heads to attention for all those in the arena who had no idea. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I've seen a lot of shows, don't remember ever see them open with JS, one of my favorites in the entire GD catalog. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Maybe tonight they bust out a Paul Kantner/JA tune

That Winterland '77 box set is fantastic. The Winterland '73 and '77 boxes are among my favorite GD releases. That is a long list, but still these 2 are way up there. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

VC was down yesterday, last night I caught the Medeski Trio (Medeski, Weston & Fuiczynski) at Johnny D's in Somerville. Will be my last show at Johnny D's as the venue is closing at the end of this month.

RNG rocked! s there an extra bonus song web exclusive?

Sorry if I'm repeating myself (I've posted this elsewhere). When I walked into the State Theater last Wednesday at 7:00 p.m. I was really looking forward to hearing SW played in full for the first time, but I didn't think I'd want to hear it in full 3 straight shows. By the time I walked out of the State at 11:30 that night, I could not wait to hear it again and again at the two Orpheum shows. Absolutely astonishing to me all 3 times. If I was seeing another show this tour, I'd welcome another chance to hear it in full. That's my $.02.

I've had tons of GD live stuff over the years, going back to cassettes, VHS tapes, and SHNs and FLAC's. I buy these official releases of shows/eras I like because I find the official recordings sound so much better than anything I acquired on the WELL or from friends, etc. They put out great sounding discs. And I like the booklets and photos that come with it (though for DP 17 all the photos are from outdoor shows and I didn't think this was an outside show). Also, streaming doesn't do me any good for serious listening. So, that's why I buy them. I'm way past the point of feeling like I

That's funny, the one time I saw them at the Cap was the middle of the 3 night run they did there. Jeff scolded the audience for not being enthusiastic enough to bring them out for an encore, that we were taking them for granted. I think he was pretty pissed about that, as he then ranked on that night's crowd during the show the next night. That was my first and so far only visit to the refurbished Cap. Definitely love that place. Peter Shapiro did a great job with the renovation: phenomenal sound and lights, taking out the seats on the floor, and good bars and the Garcia club. I wish he

Do you have a link to the interview? Is it a single interview with both Tweedy and Courtney? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Hey Tim, I posted a link to your review/photos in the Wilco fan group page on FB.

Got my DP 17 yesterday. Haven't listened to it yet (still listening to the Wilco shows I caught), but when I do I'm going straight to Disc 3.

Put in another request. Hope you do better than I did, went 0 for 3 on the 3 shows I saw.

Meanwhile, I've not been able to find that interview. I've searched Under the Radar's FB page and it's own website. So if anyone comes across it please post the link. Thanks.
