spiders are really our friends...so are bats. both eat alot of the bad bugs that take down food crops. As you all know use of pesticides is a major problem for the water and for humans. Some links for y'all to check out:

as for the brown recluse they always lurking about at my work. Quite beautiful and not aggressive however I always wear gloves when moving the stuff around that they might be hiding in....fabulous picture of "the hand" now I'll be extra careful

I was so grateful to have dancing fans around me...you know its a rock show and if you want to sit during the quiet stuff that's okay or go take a walkabout. We were in the 7th row by Nels and there was a fellow 2 rows in front with a laminate who turned out to be Jerry Garcia's drummer insisting everyone sit down. It was about to turn into a ruckus when Ricky leaned over and said "you never made us sit down at a Jerry show." Laughs all the way around and the rest of the night no problem . Let's face it Silicon Valley and wine geeks make for an interesting mix. Beautiful space thanks for the pics ramie.

Wow what an evening! At a certain point, I looked back at the crowd from the second steps above the pit (thanks to "the gardners" the ultimate seat finders ), and that Olde Greek Theatre was moving just like at a Dead Show in the 80's . So no doubt Spencer "got it"! I brought some folks who had never seen Wilco and they were amazed. One of them commented on the diversity of the fans which was so beautiful to see. Parents with their kids, SF/Oaklandia hipsters and Berkeley hippies loved that. The band definitely turned it up a notch last night. Thanks for posting the set list bbop it was so solid and inspired I really can't pick a favorite moment. Getting to see Nels this close the last two nights was a real treat. One nature note,the moon setting over The City as we crossed the bridge was remarkably beautiful.Perfect evening... amazing weather,great band at the top of there game, respectful fans around us, and seeing my music loving friends so happy at the end of the evening...could not of asked for more.

This is a must see...all are in my top ten to see live. I hope this show comes West.

Oh, c'mon. Who hasn't done this? It's much more effective, visually, with actual hand puppets though.

When are you starting that cottage industry of tiny Hand Puppets Lammy? I'd like to order a Hummingbird because I could use it at work too! or perhaps a .

This hurts my brain!!!

 

Strange that earlier today, I stumbled upon this photo

Hurley!

Okay my mind is blown...I was really expecting George from the Minutmen

All great choices...I also like Gram Parsons and the Fallen Angels Live 1973. I'm a fan of Emmylou Harris so hearing her here with Gram is a treat.

Remember the beam? Damn, that thing scorched me so many times. And the xylophone-type instrument...Bill on talking drum or something similar, while Mick was doing the color. So tribal. '80-'85 was my favorite period for the drums.

Oh MB, I loved the beam...One time at Alpine I swear the beam sent down the rain that night . I thought the Gorge show was a nice ending...We had a listening party/dinner party in Marin. Perfect evening reunion of our GD tribe/nice show/food under the redwoods . I've decided that we need to make let Warren sing signs.I agree that Jeff would do justice to a lot of Jerry songs but will Bobby every want to stop singing those? Anyone going to Roxbury?

Okay, I love the jumping just like John...and that grin when they go back into NGC...brilliant! Who was taping?

Nice...can't wait to hear a full on Wilco cover from the 400 unit.Love love love those guys!

Wow thank you guys for the links...looks like a great place and a terrific show. The guys are on a roll. Can hardly wait til June. In the mean time keep those reviews coming!

Why does torture surprise us? America has done some pretty incredible acts in search of freedom. Let's start with taking the land in 1492 and the genocide that followed.Last night I heard that one prisoner was waterboarded six times in one day for one month(that fact was from the redcross memo, I believe). All I could think about is what the person or group of people who are capable of doing or okaying or supervising any of that must feel like on a daily basis today. Everyone involved should be held accountable...maybe not jail but community service to rediscover their humanity. While were on that program perhaps working side by side with the terrorists on a reforestation project or helping the elderly who might have some wisdom to share. (Yes, my world is Utopian)Just saying we have all fallen from grace around this War on Terror. I think the justice department will prosecute and Obama will let them take care of the legal aspects/political minefield of this horrendous situation.

thanks for the clip Lammy....all I can say is I wish I was with all the VC deadheads when The Music Never Stopped kicked in. I'm glad they are together in the proper spirit. Trying to honor a group of songs that represent a great page in the Americana Songbook. RJ go for it especially if you can be close...I've had a real good time the last two years seeing these guys get ready for this at various venues in SF. Of course its not Jerry, however pretty darn fun and swirly

Moss, I am so glad you saw Jason and the 400 unit.

I saw him 10 days ago in SF, it was amazing. I hope all our Midwest VCers get out to see these guys...truly amazing songwriter and JTE was awesome as well. I didn't keep a set list and no one at nine bullets seems to have all the songs(Humboldt County was represented ) But it was something like this according to irishcrazy at 9B.

Seven-Mile Island

Chicago Promenade

Never Gonna Change

Point being these guys are tight, underrated and should be selling out rooms. Best 15 bucks I have spent in a long, long time.

yes it is

These are the people who are the architects:

http://www.ipsnews.net/news.asp?idnews=46272

They are on TV every night and in the NYT and Washington Post and WSJ. They think that a war economy is the solution to our money problems. Eisenhower warned us about them. I think Pelosi and crew are afraid of them(yes afraid for their lives). Fear is an amazing tool in manipulating people. So we will have to let other governments do the work for us:

You know I was just trying to find out the rest of the Wilco tour dates so I can plan my vacation and now I am off on a PNAC tangent before I have even had

thank you for keeping me on track GON

i know, right? me and my friends were singing it for days afterwards though

Funny how Neil's stream of conscious behavior can get in one's head....he probably will present a masterpiece next. Or perhaps just bring eggs to the farmer's market in link volt

wow The View....hmmm never thought I'd see that. Missing Jerry this AM.

Looks like its road trip time....I am psyched....a chance for this foggy town gal to see sunshine in June. Lets go! Plus nothing like seeing the Oregon folks. gogo lets get u there

I read an article in rolling stone about a building on the west side of Chicago with many empty floors...the floor that's occupied is filled with folks watching activity on the streets of Chicago. Very interesting.

Seems we need to keep working on the middle path.

is a beautiful place.

Mother Nature bats last

May your wishes all come true....

Thanks for the link...nice. I am a Patterson gal. He just slays me. I feel like he sat next to me in home room in middle school. His take on good and bad times, lyrics like a novel and such an impassioned person..."its great to be alive" are really astounishing. With that said, I can't say much negative about the rest of the collaborators in his bands they all bring something beautiful and profound to the records and shows.

I've said it before, here, Jason is an amazing songwriter just coming into his own. I saw him do a heartbreaking version of The Magician at Cafe du Nord last fall. I never thought that song was great til that night. He's an amazing talent. I think we'll see PHood work with him again someday.

Festivals are intense...I haven't traveled to one in years but try to do Hardly Strictly Bluegrass every year and last year Outside Lands. Its hard work I think rock tourism is at an all time high right now. Wish I was in a position to do New Orleans Jazz fest this year but will have to keep it local.

Could not agree more about The Hold Steady. Saw them with DBT and was grateful it was the last two shows of the tour or else I'd have gotten the credit card out to see a few more.

wow wow wow what a great night ya'll had. So many rarities. I am so happy for you folks (and yep a bit jealous.though Jeff did say he'd do that Gram song if you worked it up Ken so thank you! )I am excited to hear the show someday. Sounds like a good time was had by all...now we can look forward to some covers with the whole band hopefully.
