I agree, In the Dark is an excellent release, the live performance recording has energy to the playing. In his book, Billy wrote he didn't understand why they didn't record the next one the same way. Don't share your view of Shakedown as an album. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

You have to add Garcia and Ace to that list of studio albums to listen to. And definitely Wake, side 2 of which became my favorite single side of any GD studio release a year or 2 ago when I got the MOFI vinyl. Funny how everyone considered that album "weak" at the time it came out. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Exactly my view. It all starts with Glenn.

A partial answer at least. Not surprised it was some contractual issue, but I'm still wondering what the issue was specifically with W(TA) as distinct from any of their other label releases. I can always listen to Tweedy talk. But I got to the end and wanted to hear about Star Wars. Wish this interview took place a day or 2 later. Did anyone else notice when Tweedy said they were going to play the entire album tonight and it will sound different, the interviewer went right by that? I think he thought Jeff was speaking hypothetically, I don't think he got that Jeff was saying they were

The Loft has its own page on FB. You may be able to find more info there. Or at least pose the question and see if you get a reply post.

This comes quickly to mind: Steve Hunter's playing on the Intro to Sweet Jane on Rock and Roll Animal.

That is a scheduling nightmare. I wouldn't want to have to choose. Another reminder why I had such a good time at Lockn'-never have to make a choice, at least not before midnight Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Has anyone seen Pat play that guitar before? Was it a Gibson? ES335? As i recall he didn't change guitars once during the Star Wars material.

I've got 2 or 3 listens under my belt, plus the Pitchfork set, and I am digging the sonic sounds of this release. I can't quite put my finger on it: on the one hand its so raw and not overproduced, almost a casual release of a band kicking around in the Loft. While at the same time the songs are so Wilco through and through. I can't off the top of my head think of another non-rock opera album where the sequencing is so important. I hope they keep playing this in its entirety to open shows for a while. These songs will kill even more as they get taken out for rides.

Who was playing guitar? I assume with his recent cancer news it wasn't Billy Zoom.

The timing of this release is perfect for me as I'm on vacation. Had trouble organizing the track sequence last night, couldn't give it a proper listen, but am all set now. can't wait to get to the beach and get under my headphones!

I also took note of that line in the email, but never ever in my wildest dreams did I surmise a new album would drop today! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I'm going to listen to Random Name Generator for the next week. So far, the other tracks haven't really grabbed me. Still in shock this is all real. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Reading the comment about the set list getting stale reminds me of the GD touring days. My usual response would be to suggest seeing fewer shows once folks hit burnout on another Not Fade Away. the vast majority in attendance last night were seeing their only Wilco show of the year. As maniacal Wilco fans, we want to see organic change every night. Which the band is able to do on a multi night run in a single city. I'm not criticizing your criticism (if there were any), it just reminded me how the road warrior fan can get lost in the weeds from the big picture of the experience of most fa

I saw the Saturday show in Boston. My overriding comment is how disappointed my wife and I were with the sound system. It was one big loud mess, echoey with sound bouncing all over the place. There were times we could barely make out the melody line of songs we know so well. We were sitting in what should have been great seats, band management seats in row 8 of lodge section 11. Basically right at the red line. I go to a lot of shows, and see arena shows as well, and this was the worst I've heard since REM did the first show in the new Garden, before they installed the sound baffles in t

Love reading that

Listening to Atlas, remembering how much I enjoyed Real Estate's sets.

Going tomorrow, hope you have fun

The boards these shows come from? These are the Winterland October '74 shows. The GD movie shows. We know how great these performances were, and how great they sound on the Movie Box. How they made the album sound so bad was always a mystery to me. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
