  1. I've got tix for tonight and tomorrow and can't wait.  Bringing my younger sister tomorrow for her Wilco initiation - shes' gonna love this.  I haven't seen them do On and On since they closed the main set with it in New Haven in 2008, my 13 year-old daughter's personal request when we met Jeff while he was out jogging that afternoon.  Just beyond beautiful.  Would love to hear that again.

    Yes the only time I saw On and On was at that New Haven show. I have always regretted not buying the poster. Recently communicated with the artist who was willing to sell me one of two proofs that he had but it was $250. Wife and I were at that one and we are going tonight as well, just the two of us. All the other shows have been with one or more of our kids. Looking forward to it. Love this theater!!!!

  2. Went to the fest with my wife and three children. Wife and I had camped at the fest 4-5 times going back twenty years. Really special to see Tweedy there as he is one of our favorites. Mountain Bed was very moving for my wife and I and everyone in the family enjoyed the set. Memorable interaction between my youngest son, Brain (5) and Jeff after So Much Wine. Jeff talking about the dunk tank at Solid Sound and Brian yells out of nowhere..."You broke your foot". We are in the front row and Jeff says, "what did you say?" Brian is shocked that Tweedy is talking to him and won't repeat himself, so I say it for him. Jeff says "I broke my foot? No wonder he is embarassed." Everyone laughs and at this point Brian begins to cry thinking that everyone is laughing at him. Jeff trys to console after Hummingbird and tells him something like, "it's OK little boy you're at a Folk Festival having a good time with your family and everyoneone here loves you, life is good" Crowd goes crazy particularly those around us. He even offers to play a song for Brain and closes the set with Shot in the Arm as per Brain's request. Wound up getting to meet Jeff after the show and as my oldest son and daugher approch him Jeff says to them "is your brother OK?" He apologizes to me, very gracious, and I assure him that all is well. We laugh a bit, get some autographs and pictures, and I thank him for all of the music. Would love to get a copy of the recording, anyone?
