That is a must read!

The Push Stars are still around??

So many good songs. He leaves quite the catalog behind for us to enjoy.

Twice in one show? I prefer to go during the 1st couple minutes of Impossible Germany.

but with passion! and cuss words! many many cuss words!

Can't make it. Print at home tickets. Looking for face value or best offer.

Sounds fantastic. Thanks for the excellent recap. I'm glad they are getting more adventurous with the setlist again. Opening with You Are My Face is pretty great.

Gotcha! Thanks. I hadn't remembered/noticed at prior shows. Oh, he was up. They have the lights set up for it and everything!

"Over the next year, Cline’s plans include touring Europe playing Lovers with local orchestras, touring in drummer Bobby Previte’s group with sax player Greg Osby and keyboardist John Medeski, writing music for “The Call”—a secular mass commissioned by the State of Minnesota, and recording projects with drummer Scott Amendola, harpist Zeena Parkins, clarinetist Ben Goldberg, guitarist Julian Lage, his wife (multi-instrumentalist and Cibo Matto co-founder) Yuka Honda, and his bands Eyebone, The Nels Cline Singers, and The Nels Cline Quartet." http://www.thetulsavoice.com/September-B-2017/Rogu

Bbop-Didn't get there in time to say hi- saw you on the rail. We showed up midway through Creamer. Pretty great crowd up front (we were about 7 rows back).

Yes- they didn't gig from Oct of '13 until Sept '14.

Has Jeff played acoustic on precious Scmilco tour versions of Pot Kettle? Sounded great to my ears. Great show. Great venue too

Definite slope (unlike pritzker). Lots of sitting beyond the pit area which was the first 20ish rows) any many left early during the encores, but I think Wilco was generally well received. I think one reason tickets were $69 was to pay for a huge event staff. People on staff everywhere. There must have been three dozen dedicated to parking alone. I can't remember if I've ever seen a stand alone outta site before. It was kinda cool. Used to them going right into it from Monday or I Got You.

Doing anything to mark the occasion?

Somebody reported on Facebook that the site is being worked on which is why the roadcases aren't available

Am I the only one who didn't like the book? I love Kot's writing and Sound Opinions, but don't like his writing in book format...

Pat is performing in Nashville tonight as part of the Big Star Third live show...

Great live show not sure about the songwriting...

Spoon was great at Metro last night. Really impressed especially after seeing them about 10 years ago and thinking how bad they were live.

Lawyered!

I will have to check those out. I've never heard of any of them.

Nice to see John doing something like this. Interesting that he will be playing acoustic bass. He didn't even play acoustic bass when Wilco was doing the acoustic encores on the recent Wilco tours. Also saw that the Daniel Johnston/ Jeff Tweedy and Friends show sold out. I guess we know that John isn't the bass player for that show. I wonder who the friends will be? Spencer seems likely to be involved...

You can see why they hung it up from this list. Nothing from beyond the 1990's until the 50's

The Jeff Tweedy and Friends is on the Vic's website and the CUP performance is listed on Nels' site. But I think maybe I wrote that in a way that makes it sound like a double bill. Two different shows.
