  1. It was jawdropping when they started the song. I had friends sitting in various seats all over the place, afterwards I saw that my phone blew up when they played it. Another incredible personal story from last night. Over the last several years I've come to know this guy (he's my daughter's age) that I know from around town who's a big Phish and jam band music fan. We've become friends over the years and see each other at lots of shows. I haven't seen him in a long time given Sharon's illness and passing. He's pretty connected (his dad is a big deal in town). Before the show he asked me for
  2. There's a story here. If anyone here is also in the Shot in the Arm Group on FB, I had posted that my wife of 36 years died this summer from lung cancer. Sharon was my partner in so many musical adventures, but especially in all things Wilco. We had been to all of the first five SS's until 2019 when she was too sick to go. On and On and On was one of her favorite Wilco songs and since it fit the scene so well I had it played at the end of her funeral while everyone stood. I had the lyrics printed for everyone. It was intensely emotional for all there. So I've been requesting the song on the we
  3. Loved the show! The OTJ tunes were intense. Like someone said, very well paced setlist. Every time I see Wilco I come away absolutely marveling at Glenn and tonight was no exception.
  4. I get most of the GD releases and box sets. Ready or Not? I say "not."
  5. Tedeschi Trucks Band. Taking a road trip to the Beacon.
  6. Wrote to Kung Fu and they immediately sent a new email with the download. They always have the best customer service.
  7. Got my vinyl yesterday. Not a "reaction" (yet) but did anyone get the email with the download code today? I haven't.
  8. David Byrne-my turn tonight (after having to miss the two shows I had 5th row center seats for)
  9. They've been doing this for several years in some form or another. During JazzFest in NOLA and I think at the Cap Theater, I don't think they've taken it on the road before but I could be mistaken. Anyhow, I'm in for Boston. Some may call it a cash grab, but I'm looking forward to seeing Warren (I'll see him do anything) with Modeski, Don Was, Cyril Neville, Terrance Higgins, et al play the Last Waltz. The music is timeless and I'm pretty certain I'll have a great night.
  10. Great work Tim. We missed our first SS this year but your piece brought it all to life. Great shots and words.
  11. My take from my living room with the FM stream. Too much karaoke. I was frustrated not hearing Jeff sing these songs. Part of my issue was I thought the guest vocals were way too high in the mix, amplifying the off key parts and pushing the instruments into the background. My wife liked it better than I did. Loved Poor Places and CB on Handshake. Spoke to friends who were there (who were skeptical going in) and they loved it. Missing the visuals on an FM stream took away a lot. Also heard it was packed to the gills.
  12. This is the first SS my wife and I will not be attending. Hope everyone has a blast! We'll be listening in tomorrow night.
  13. Steven Hyden is an excellent writer. He used to cover music and culture for the Grantland site. And he's a Wilco fan. Does anyone other than me want to hear You Satellite again? And again, and again?
  14. Sounds and looks great. Jeff’s voice sounds a little shot though. Especially on Whole Love.
