    Ha! And Right On! Nice calls!! Here's what I'm pulling for tonight (in lurid detail below)... LIke "Nalafej" I'd love to hear both "Sunloathe" & "Solitaire" (both of which top my album cuts choices), the latter of which is also a request of "Madcap" who shares my hopes for "Promising" (top of my non-album choices), "When The Roses Bloom Again" & "Far Far Away", & finally jw harding hits up my top choice for a cover tonight, that highlight of the AmericanaramA Tour, "Tomorrow Never Knows"- also hoping for a dark horse, because Jeff loves it so much (though it seem like a Tweedy so

    It wasn't a slow morning either, it was a busy night...did it all on breaks from paperwork, quite late at night my acupuncture office actually (my other breaks were playing guitar- and for you stats junkies last night was all acoustic run for me with a rare maple Martin J-65- I usually use more than one guitar...OK unplugged Telecaster for maybe 10 minutes too ), & it was pretty quick & easy to compile actually. Two other posters here did the main legwork/heavy lifting on, first, what hadn't been done yet from the standard officially released albums, which was done by mus2009, & t

    Hilarious!!!

    I was at Cooperstown myself, & I can't believe I didn't think of that!!!! While I root for the Mets & Red Sox before the Yankees, the Yanks are my 3rd fave & one of the folks I was there with was a huge Yankees fan & now I can't believe he didn't think of it!!! I believe that one was a Guthrie-Bragg song that Tweedy sang, but still... Next time for sure!! I'll get a few folks & we'll stuff the ballot box with you!!

    For me there is no question about it, just as Robyn Hitchcock rules the roost for Halloween/Samhain (though he's released a formal theme album, the number of appropriate songs is incredible), for the absolute King Kong King Of Christmas is Sufjan Stevens with his two Box Sets "Songs From Christmas" and "Silver & Gold". What I appreciate the most are the incredible original songs, but his re-workings of classics, both well & lesser known holiday songs is almost as compelling...and...the essays/liner notes are great too.

    And for the potential 2 CD-R double album of Wilco Acoustic Stuff...5 non-encore potential candidates & 24 from the final Hootenanny Encore Set & 2 non-encore songs from Port Chester & 3 unique encore songs from Port Chester & 11 total encore songs... Non-encore songs: Childlike & Evergreen (Jeff solo acoustic)No More Poetry (Jeff solo acoustic)Dash 7 (Jeff and Nels only; Nels on lap steel) Shakin' Sugar (aka Alone) (Jeff, John and Glenn only) Encore Hootenanny Set Songs: Outta Mind (Outta Sight)*Art Of Almost (original arrangement)*The Thanks I Get*California Stars*True L

    Nice work!!! Thanks!!! I'd be grateful if you kept you eye on things & gave us the final tally too!! I'll do my best as well... So far 150 songs have been played...and only 16 songs have repeated (although in different formats each time) & then another 14 that were outright repeats on Night 5Art of Almost - album version (Night 2) and hootenanny (Night 1)Box Full of Letters - waltz (Night 2) and album version (Night 3)Camera/Kamera - Camera (Night 1) and Kamera (Night 4 & Night 5)Dawned on Me - album version (Night 1) and hootenanny (Night 3)I Got You - album version (Night 2) and

    Which songs were repeats? And were they all repeated as different arrangements? Also...I think when they played all the songs they did it playing the albums in their entirety, front to back as complete albums... but I'm not positive about that, so if anyone else wants to chime in on that... And finally, weighing in for the record...I absolutely adore when they do covers & was totally beyond thrilled at the all-covers show at Solid Sound. I honestly REALLY REALLY wish that would become a Solid Sound tradition where they work up a whole first night of covers!!!! It also adds a whole lot

    Gornok: Now officially rivaling Lotti (though no one will ever top Lotti) for most fun posts on here. No such luck on Night 5, one night left to go... And I've requested "Sunloathe" a few times myself. I think we've got a real good shot at finally hearing it one of these next two nights. And, if not, I'm sure at some point in the future. I mean they are clearly aware of the situation. Folks even start threads about it ...and I'm sure, like me, request it plenty as well.

    Most all of the credit should go to the poster here known as mus2009, who did it first, before me, in another thread here "Winterlude at the Riv 12/5, 12/6, 12/8, 12/9, 12/11 and 12/12" I do confess to double checking myself & discovering only the extra couple of oft played "Mermaid Ave." sessions as having been missed... I have to admit I thought that that person must have missed som moree, so I did a quick rock stat nerd cross reference (thanks setlists.fm!) & found that they got it right!! Not a lot of material to go now...hope they actually do end up doing them all (despite what J

    Man they are going to have to make an effort NOT to do every song in the regular catalog. With roughly 60 open spots left in these last two shows...after double checking another person's post (mus2009) here...counting some (not all) Mermaid Ave. sessions were looking at only about 27 songs to go that haven't been played yet. But there's plenty of great songs left to go!!!! And... They could easily play everything they haven't & still have a full shows (33 or so slots) worth of material to either go out there & repeat whatever they want, play covers, do the different version of somet

So they could play everything & still have a full shows (33 or so slots) worth of material to either go out there & repeat whatever they want, play covers, do the different version of something (acoustic vs. electric), play yet more rarities/oddities ("Alpha Mike Foxtrot" & beyond type of

    Ha!!! I keep waiting for the first full band go 'round with that one too. I've even requested it before (obviously to no avail), & did so for these gigs too!! Still two nights to go, & they've done a couple of others for the first time live!!! And, for the record, I think there's loads of great material still left that they haven't played yet. I know they aren't looking to make sure that they hit every song they've recorded, but I'm betting that- 1) They'll get pretty close to playing them all, or at least a large majority of them & 2) they are, clearly, so far at least, making a

    Hoping for some help/clarification here...someone on the Steve Hoffman Forum is wondering exactly what the "original arrangement" in the encore version of "Art Of Almost" here refers to?

    uhfr just posted in "After The Show" for the 4th night of Winterlude talking about making a comp CD-R of all the acoustic encores... between the Port Chester shows & the Winterlude run that should be pretty much a virtual live unplugged Wilco show!!! One of your wishes I believe it was #5... that makes only part of #3 & #2 left out there & let's see how much of "Being There" gets done...it might not be a straight run through, but you might manage the virtual version, like with the acoustic show that just happen to unfold over 9 shows...
  16. linclink
    Brilliant call!!! Between the Port Chester shows & Winterlude it'll be a pretty formidable set list!!!
  17. linclink
    There are some great names being tossed around...and I've gotta say Television & The Replacements are topping my list of what I've heard so far, & they are real possibilities... Another person, who they repeatedly jammed with on the AmericanaramA tour (I got to see two of those shows with RT), & who would be amazing is Richard Thompson- in either electric or acoustic incarnation...but making sure that he's packing a Strat (or that Wilco's brought one for him) so he & Nels can rip it up again... My dark horse hopeful choice is Donna The Buffalo...
  18. linclink
    Although he never said that (don't know if I read anywhere that anyone said he did) that's what some folks were hoping for...whatever we get will be amazing...it already has been. It'll most likely be pretty few repeats, & most of the recorded catalog with a nice helping of oddities/rarities/cover versions/acoustic & electric different arrangements of particular songs etc., etc. . These 20th Anniversary Roadcase releases from the Port Chester, NY & Chicago Winterlude runs/residencies are truly something special indeed. My next great hope is that they break with tradition & do a

    Don't know any details about this, but it was posted in the "After The Show" section thread about this show... looks like, until the Roadcase gets released, at least the broadcast is out there (as expected)...wish it was archived somewhere... http://bt.etree.org/details.php?id=576746&edited=1

    Ha!! Certainly the bottom line is the magic that's made & shared, & honestly I just enjoy the however of whatever unfolds at any given show. I'm just guessing with double the amount of shows, that there will be even more unique songs played than in Port Chester- whether they repeat some or not, it hardly matters. What's coming up is the continuation of a pretty huge 20th Anniversary celebration. I feel Blessed to have gotten to take part in my second trifecta of NYC area shows as part of that celebration (got to hit the two Ohio shows in September as well). What's hitting the home

    Wait for the Chicago Winterlude shows... I'm doubting that there will be many wishes ungranted, or stones unturned & turns unstoned by the time those 6, count 'em 6, shows are over & the Roadcases from them released. Who knows what exactly is being cooked up in The Loft, maybe as I type, for the fortunate few who will soon embark on the 20th Anniversary odyssey to exceed even the wonders of the trio at Port Chester!!

    Cool & thanks!!!

    Apparently, & ironically, when they played, albeit briefly, under the name Black Shampoo, all the members carried the end name "Black Shampoo" (in tribute to The Ramones...was it the last name was "Black Shampoo", or the middle name "Black" & the last name "Shampoo"? We may never know...) &, in tribute to The Beatles, each member had a first name based on a character from a Beatles song, with Jeff's being, you guessed it, none other than...Sgt Pepper! So it actually WAS 20 years ago today that Sgt. Pepper (albeit technically Sgt. Pepper Black Shampoo) taught the band to play!!! Sta
