Congrats Wilco!

Opening acts are starting to get announced for these + the Milwaukee show. I wonder how long the Wilco sets will be given the opening act Milwaukee - Disappears 12/ 5: Sam Amidon

Two more thoughts for this thread: 1. Why hasn't Tweedy played in Chicago? 2. Spencer is listed among some very impressive names for the Mavis 75 show. Not sure if that is earned, but really cool for him. http://www.mavis75.com/

Glenn Kotche. Caught last night's Kotche event on drumming and it was fantastic. Looking forward to the performance tonight.

First video I've watched from these shows. You guys weren't kidding about crowd noise. I just love Glenn's slow mo drumming.

Totally agree. My favorite run is still the Kicking TV shows at the Vic. 4 nights with super similar setlists filled with almost all AGIB and YHF songs and almost no songs from their back catalog.

I'm over a week late to add my comments, but I'm not aware of a rule about that. Wilco show #54 for me. The setlist is up there with the best of them. The Being There and Hootenanny encores were so great. I found the 4 strong stretch of Track 1's (Either Way>Break Your Heart>Art of A>At Least) interesting and was hoping for Must Be High. As seems typical, a slow building set. We had seats in the reserved area which was awesome - perfect sight lines for all musicians and flexibility to arrive at 8pm. Loved that. Has anyone else ever noticed that Glenn's arms look to be in slow mo

I'm going to get technical on you (get ready)...They actually posted: "Today in Wilco History: Wilco releases Being There on October 29, 1996" so...happy 18th birthday Being There. I love you too.

I caught the Yield show! Amazing to say the least. My favorite album of theirs. They didn't do a full album in Minny so I wouldn't count on it in Denver (although I hope you get an amazing show). Eddie came into the crowd during Porch and was about 2 feet away from me which was a cool experience.

He played it in Chicago at the United Center last tour. I was there. He told a long story about hearing it on the radio and wanting to record it. No mention of Wilco...in their home town. Found that very strange. I wonder if he know who Wilco is.

Right! The best way to do it. Didn't exactly do it to sell tickets for a show in Moline!

Pearl Jam played all of No Code last night in Moline, IL. Pretty cool. Only the second time they've ever played any of their albums all the way through (They played Ten straight through in 1992). Lucky crowd out there. Anybody seen their show this year? Nostalgia rock?

People don't like seeing Wilco early in the week as much as on a weekend. Monday and Tuesday aren't sold out. No surprise I guess...

dude did not collaborate on the track with Tweedy did he? I figured he just covered it.

Doesn't sound like anything other than a normal gig has been announced. From Jam USA's page: Wilco has just announced Winterlude 2014, a six-night stand at Chicago’s Riviera Theatre on December 5, 6, 8, 9, 11 & 12. Over the course of the residency, the band’s set lists will change each night and feature songs from every era of Wilco’s two-decade career. General Admission tickets ($55.00) can be purchased online at ETIX.com. There is a 4-ticket limit per purchase. Tickets can also be purchased at The Vic Theatre box office. 18 & over. Show times are 8:00pm each night. All six concerts

The studio band version sounds like it is really just Jeff solo.

Not a single song I haven't heard. That sucks.

Tweedy performed Jesus Etc with Lucius tonight at Metro. Heard the crowd went wild.

Nels is on tour with Cibo Matto

Robert Plant

Got tickets to the Chicago show. Will be my first and last time seeing them. I'm looking forward to it. I've met Will before and he was super nice.

I only find one tweet actually sent by Jeff through that account (His tweets are to be signed with JT). I wouldn't exactly say he's lighting twitter up.

Best JT interview in a long time. Nice work.
