  1. John Pat and Glen sat in with Mother Hips on Neil Young’s Out On The Weekend, nice! Two of my faves together! Great vocal by John and great Sansone solo! https://youtu.be/KS9U1evXqzw?si=dQk_GcpjkLvSXaMr
  2. Sitting vs standing is certainly related to favorite songs vs unfamiliar songs but also separate. I'm a stander for sure and I'd prefer to stand all night and prefer the majority of an audience does too. I like to dance and rock out and I like concerts in which audiences are active participants instead of passive receivers. I also vastly prefer to hear old songs than new. Main reason is that most of Wilco's best songs are older and their newer stuff I just don't think is as good, just my opinion, and that is a trend that holds true for me with almost every band I've ever liked. I do think
  3. I was blown away by the beautiful Allmans/Dead-esque jam at the end of Bird Without a Tail. Sounded a bit like Bird Song or a mellower Jessica, brightly meandering guitar lines, the first and second-timers that came us (Deadheads) were impressed. It kinda took the place of the jam at then end of Many Worlds that they played last Fall in San Diego. I'd gladly take both in one show! It did leave me wishing for more rockers, I'm still hungry for Monday/Outta Sight, I Got You, Box Full of Letters, etc. I'm regretting not making it to the Los Angeles run, I'm sure all of those will
  4. No worries we got there just before Wilco started anyway,. Happy to be at same show as you regardless!
  5. In Spiders Jeff went full hippie in his leading the crowd in a we are all together in this moment clap session, it almost made up for no sing along but I was doing my own too (along with some massive air guitar riffing, couldn’t help it, I LOVE that part so much!) I was seriously moved and joyful to hear Jeff say those ideals. and goddamn if they didn’t nail US Blues, injecting it with a whole lot of rocking energy and sincere enthusiasm for its subversive, freak freely, weird ol’ America and summertime celebratory spirit. Nels channels Garcia beautifully then Mike took that great
  6. Donna what % of shows you are at do they play Spiders? Do they play it when they know you are there? I wanna go to more shows you are at !!😆
  7. I agree new songs for the past four albums are not as good as older stuff, but are always better live but I really appreciate the return to country roots leanings on Cruel Country and while these songs aren’t very lively their subtle goodness is more vivid live. Wasn’t the 2nd extended guitar section in the ending of Story To Tell?
  8. Roadie’s? setlist from kidsmoke! what the helll has got into Wilco?!? I’ve never heard them rock extended guitar solos like that! Pat was ON FIRE!!! Nels and him channeling Duane Allman and Dickie Betts with the fiery dual leads, the unison licks and the huge long crescendos . Holy shit Batman! What a great show!
  9. PS in celebration of the Grateful Dead FINALLY conquering the hearts and minds of Wilco I’ll be sporting a Jerry Garcia tshirt 😝
  10. I grew up here, saw a lot of shows there but none in over 30 years! It will be cool and weird to return! David Gilmour in ‘83 Stevie Ray Vaughan with Bonnie Raitt opening in ‘86 Ratt, Fastway, Zebra in ‘83 hahaha! The Animals in early eighties too
  11. Laurie and I are sec C row C 11 & 12 or see ya in the beer line!
  12. We are everywhere! 😁 anyone up for some hacky sack or other cooperative non-competitive sporting activity? 😆🌈🫶🤘🎸🥁
  13. Wilco-loving Deadheads gotta stick together! . For us, victory and surrender are concepts that don't apply to music, not a battle, no borders or boundaries, only music that moves you or doesn't. This was gonna happen sooner or later, ha ha ha!!!
  14. Sec C, Row C, Seats 9-10 Sat. Sept 17, 2022 SDSU Open Air Theatre
  15. Tumbling Dice - so gloriously behind the beat with the Exile sound! Bitch - it rocks perhaps the hardest with the best horn part in a Stones song Honky Tonk Women - quintessential Stones with that cowbell opener, just can't beat it. It could sum up the Stones in just one song for someone who knew nothing about them. For me best Stones is '69 -''72 but I don't disagree with any of the songs others chose
  16. The Wiltern Theater run in 2012, I think, was so fantastic with all the covers they were playing then (It Makes No Difference, Rocket Man), a return to that venue would stoke me. Pantages in Hollywood? Ace Theater downtown? Something like that is probably gonna happen.
  17. I went to that show too and I concur. If you want answers to a lot of the questions we were asking or theories we were posting in this thread the last two years, the Relix mag. cover story pretty much answers them all. My Morning Jacket did pretty much break up or at least indefinite hiatus but they reassessed, worked it out, got stoked and they are back big time! It was clear as can be in that performance that they are loving being MMJ again, they understand what they have to offer the world and how precious it is to them. It was my first show since 2015, everything about it fr
  18. Instagram teaser yesterday for a new album, its that Waterfall II they recorded a long time ago finally being released. I'm pretty starved for Jacket in any form, so this is exciting to me! https://pitchfork.com/news/my-morning-jacket-releasing-first-new-album-in-5-years-this-week/
  19. The condescending part of what you said is implying that everyone must surely share your opinion about how boring classic rock is. You could have just spoken for yourself and not been indirectly dismissive of people who happen to not share your opinion. "Is anybody NOT bored by a group of white guys playing guitar, guitar, bass, drums, vocals in a slightly shouty, distorted, boozy manner? I sure as hell am." It really doesn't take much effort to be considerate in discussions of opinion about art and aesthetics and its kinder to do so.
  20. Your tastes are your tastes and there is nothing wrong with that. But when you make a sweeping condescending generalization about new iterations of classic rock, it seems you are trying to justify your own opinion by stating that everybody else surely must think as you do, when clearly not everyone does. I like classic rock and I like new iterations of it, so I guess that makes me a "nobody"in your view. i don't like punk or goth or most art rock or most indie rock. I don't think those band have done much to master the craft of playing roots-based music. I get that they purposely don't wa
  21. While the 10/29/77 Might As Well is intense, its kinda out of control careening off the tracks and Jerry is screaming more than singing at the end, but it does rock, must've been awesome in person. Try the Let It Grow from this show, blazing and soaring and rocking!
  22. I'm not, not when its done with skill, craft, and passion. I'd love nothing more than Wilco to play a whole set of Stones-y rock 'n' roll. I think they are one of the greatest bands of all time at this kind of music, even if they only play it reluctantly (maybe its just Jeff who is reluctantly rocking out, Pat and Glenn sure don't look reluctant when they are tearing through I Got You and Outtasite). I draw a direct line from Wilco to the Stones to Chuck Berry on these songs and to me that is high high company to be in.
