Was closer to the front tonight. About 6 or 7 standing rows back. Not sure if my experience of a better sound was a result of a change of location or they made some adjustments. Actually prefer this to being right on the barrier. In with the 'action', though as I say, never expected a Wilco show to get quite that uninhibited. Took me back a few years :-) This meant I was also under the brim as far as the hat 'issue' was concerned. JT did remove it a couple of times for some acknowledgement to the crowd. Banter Corner Again sparse and covered by previous correspondent. The crutches moment w

Glad you felt the same as me! This was absolutely joyous. I never thought I'd see a Wilco concert like it. You almost always come away thinking you've witnessed something special in terms of musicianship, some emotional moments, songcraft - all the cerebral stuff that is the compensation for Wilco not quite having the spirit of '77 about them etc. But this was just a total fun sweaty night of jumping around and the crowd being much more than mere spectators. Not a good one for a taping I would have thought - just too much singing, clapping, whooping. You had to be there. The sound was just

Intimate London venue. http://www.clashmusic.com/live-review/ryan-adams-live-at-union-chapel-london Would have liked to be there but it sold out wat too fast. He was on a Songwriters Circle session the other night on BBC with Neil Finn and Janis Ian http://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/music/crowded-stage-neil-finn-ryan-adams-in-foulmouthed-tv-bustup-20111027-1ml3j.html

Just had a curry to load up with carbs for tonight. Leaving in an hour. Meanwhile ... http://www.clashmusic.com/live-review/wilco-live-at-the-roundhouse-london

What was really funny was that at the end, and probably speaking live on hearing the interview back and realising it was a bit ropey, he tried to explain it as feeling giddy and light headed on meeting the great Jeff Tweedy. The reality was he only had the vaguest idea of anything Wilco related.

Yeah. Guy Garvey next time Jeff. Deffo. The songs are nice though. As someone else said, last night would be a shock to anyone going on the basis of those though.

Boy the questions are painful. Just some researcher handed O'Leary a crib sheet a few minutes ago sounds like.

Seems recorded in the real day off during the week to me. JT only going to play a song solo after a little interview (nothing special). Dawn On Me now. Born Alone to follow they say. At least we don't have to sit through much of the show before this started, and I won't be hanging around afterwards.

So "in session" apparently. Ditto Arctic Monkeys. Jonathan Wilson I think.

You're spot on. Nabbed this from elsewhere and looks more accurate than mine. In the words of Eric Morecambe, all the right notes, but not necessarily in the correct order ... 1. Art Of Almost 2. I Might 3. Ashes Of American Flags 4. Bull Black Nova 5. I Am Trying To Break Your Heart 6. One Wing 7. Some Side With The Seeds 8. One Sunday Morning 9. Shouldn't Be Ashamed 10. Born Alone 11. Jesus, Etc 12. Capitol City 13. Handshake Drugs 14. I'm The Man Who Loves You 15. Standing O 16. Impossible Germany 17. Dawned On Me ENCORE 1. Whole Love 2. Shot In The Arm

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b015yc05 Maybe some songs in the studio? No idea if R2 have been playing them much lately. JT on Guy Garvey's show on R6 would be something I'd like to hear. The benefit of a day with nothing else to do in London I guess. Lads, what about all the museums? And its a lovely sunny autumn day. Bit of footie in Hyde Park?

Think I've got all the songs except perhaps one in the encore, but definitely a sketchy order other than they started with AoA ... Head still buzzing, so can spend a few minutes more before coming down and being able to get some kip. Art Of Almost I Might I Am Trying to Break Your Heart One Wing Bull Black Nova Ashes of American Flags Side with the Seeds One Sunday Morning Dawned On Me Jesus, Etc. Capitol City Handshake Drugs Standing O Shouldn't be Ashamed Born Alone Impossible Germany I'm The Man Who Loves You Encore: Whole Love Shot in the Arm A.N.Other So, definitely light on Being T

Ta very much. Will attend to this on the morrow! Meanwhile I have a show review to write ...

I see. Thanks for the setlist anyway.

Nothing about the rumoured Glasgow kiss in the balcony? Maybe JT didn't make himself clear enough in the sitting versus standing debate.

This might come in useful:- Scottie Translator What time do Wilco come on? ---> Whit time dae wilco 'main 'en? Remember the Mountain Bed ---> Min' th' ben scratcher. ????

I wish. My new(ish) employer has offices there that I have visited once. I was angling for a trip now, but it was not to be - but only have to wait until the end of the week. Huzzah! I was wondering how you were getting on with the guitar-based song predictions. Seems like I will have to wait until next time to find out ...

Noticed that on your LinkedIn update. Impressed, though probably a bit too obscure for me :-) Got any charity work lined up?

I must admist I did start to root for the French seeing as they made most of the running, and Parra was taken out twice - one black eye each time - though Trinh-Duc caused more problems. But it was the right result, and I really, really enjoyed watching 'Fatty' Donald's gut bulging out from his jersey - you could tell he hadn't had the weeks of conditioning - but what a great story! How we missed Priestland - for the kicks and running the back line - Hook was crabbing across way too much.

Like the Beltman reviews - please continue. Meanwhile, spent the last couple of hours watching Holy Flying Circus -a 'fantastical reimagining' of the controversy surrounding the 1979 release of Life of Brian. Very good indeed. Gilliam-esque surreal in parts and Often very funny. Enjoyed the fact that Palin's wife and mum were played by men in true Python style.
