I'm very Blessed & grateful to be able to do this. Up to about 4 years ago I'd been working class poor to impoverished most of my independent adult life...but no regrets, I was a pretty darn happy poor guy... Now I'm way in debt for my healing arts education & the loans have just started to be paid off (this month) in fact...but I make my own schedule, & am able to do things like this, pretty often, if always on the cheap (drive there & back, no overnights unless it's with friends, etc.)...I also never take a week off from my acupuncture practice, ever...might work M-Tu-Weds &a

Well now it looks like, thanks to tanking ticket prices & a logistical decision to miss Dylan & leave early the first night... I'm going to go to Clarkston, Michigan on Sunday 7/14 (tomorrow) & hope that I catch Wilco & Richard Thompson doing everything they've done- "California Stars", "That's Not The Issue", "Sloth" & "Calvary Cross" ("The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald" may be too much to hope for again ), & whatever else. Then I've got my Toronto ticket for Monday July 15th,...and prices are really, really tanking for Darien Lake, so that'll be Thrusday July 18th &

"Calvary Cross" & "Give Back The Keys To My Heart"...WOW!! Can't wait for the Toronto show!!! Also read that "...Wilco joined MMJ for "Isn't It A Pity"."

This rocks, thanks!! That they are playing 15 songs, 75 min. & mixing it up sooooo much is just part of why I'm going. I'll be in Toronto, mostly because they are likely to play with Richard Thompson & I get to see the Richard Thompson Electric Trio too! But I'll probably try & make Darien Lake (hate the venue, but great tickets are becoming available at very cheap prices now), & maybe Hoboken (since it's general admission, tickets will be very cheap & I think I may need to come to NYC to pick up a Gibson J-200 I'm hopefully, buying), or any of those June 26-28 NYC/Philly a

Yeah...you really can't go wrong with any of these...the sound is always varying degrees of great & the performances are the greatest band on the planet, also showing why they are the greatest live band on the planet...careening between great & mind blowing... Just pick a set list that appeals. I like the series shows- where there are a couple of gigs in a row...my faves are the ones I was at- first & foremost are the three NYC shows in a row (they do 69 different songs over the 3 nights, repeating 9 a night & giving 18 fresh ones) they are Roadcase #3, #4 & #5...the two ni

I was at the Nelsonville truncated set, and when I read that afterwards it was the thing that disappointed me the most...I absolutely love that song!!!

To the best of my knowledge Richard's last show is the one I'm seeing in Toronto on July 15th...after that Ryan Bingham- who's good & all I guess, saw him open for The Flatlanders...but, yeah...anyways...sorry

Interesting...I guess these will end as Roadcase #20, 21 & 22. You can still get to two of these...the middle one says the page is gone now...

First night of the tour with Richard Thompson Trio replacing Bob Weir as the opening act...and nothing so far with Thompson & Wilco playing together. I don't know how much prep, or time before that first date, but they worked with Weir from the get go & did a couple songs a night together for his run as the opening act. Great stuff too!!! I'm REALLY hoping the Wilco-Weir collaboration sets the precedent that will lead to some Wilco-Thompson wonders!!! I'm seeing the last show with Thompson on July 15th in Toronto, so I'm hoping that things up & running/cooking at that point....and

I just PM'd you here with the instructions I got on how to order these before they arrive...good luck & N-joy! Cool!! We figured that it looked like they were filming for something like that...great to hear!!!! Looking VERY forward to seeing that...such a beautiful & magical time & space...it would be great to be able to share that with those who couldn't attend the original event...and great for us that did to be able to revisit it!! Will have to look up Brendan Canty's work...very excited about this!!!

Just got a message from the always amazing & informative Annick at Kung Fu Nation (who also spoke about the appearing & disappearing & then, happily, reappearing Soild Sound Shows that are now Roadcase #18 & #19!!) that they are still awaiting returns from the Solid Sound Fest, but...that that poster you're looking for ("Entering Solid Sound Est. 2010") is expected to be arriving & be available soon enough...they just don't know the quantity & quality (damaged or not) or what's coming in, but that she'd keep me updated, and I, in turn, on this thread, or via PM here, wi

WA-HOO!!!!!

Just called (left a message), & emailed (the always amazing & informative Annick), the good folks at Kung Fu Nation, so we should have an answer, & hopefully, if all works out, both nights of the Wilco Solid Sound shows as Roadcase #18 & #19, soon.

I'm looking at the page right now & they aren't there that I see. It goes up to show #17 in Tuscon, Arizona. Maybe they'll be out soon!!!! As in tomorrow! One can hope...did you see them as shows #18 & #19 on that page?

Here's a little money saving hint...if you can, & if they last (which I bet they will), do what I did... At the Holiday/Christmas season you can buy "gift certificates", which you get at 20% off ($50 for $40, or $100 for $80, etc.) AND there is usually a 20% off everything sale as well...sooooooo, added up, you get a whopping 40% off!!!! I did this, but rather than just save, I used it to get both a L & an XL. The L fits perfect, like a glove & is great for warmer weather, & the XL gives me a chance to layer a little when it's colder. I'm about 5' 11" & 165 lbs., so you can

Hoping for some Wilco with Richard Thompson as the tour progresses!!!! Or even Wilco with Dylan, or Thompson with Dylan- just got a killer ticket for Toronto this week... But here's a killer from last night with Bob Weir...they already done "Ripple", "Friend Of The Devil", "Dead Flowers" & an intriguing "Dark Star">"California Stars">"Dark Star"...but last night I think they topped all of those with "Bird Song">"Tomorrow Never Know"!!!! Maybe they'll just end up doing all of "Revolver" someday (Tweedy does "I'm Only Sleeping", & Wilco just did "And Your Bird Can Sing")

Thanks for the tip there!! I just "double ordered"- meaning I've ordered in both L & XL (for both the long sleeve & the short sleeve subway shirt) & will send whatever doesn't fit back...

Just placed an order & inquired for you...haven't seen them turn up so far (might be only thing that I don't see from the weekend)...

Ah the great variation of our loves & less than love's... When I was in line for the all request Jeff Tweedy show this last year, both myself & the guy in front of me wanted "Deeper Down" as the song that we most wanted to hear...we also gave Jeff an out of choosing whatever was easiest, by giving a few songs to choose from, but two folks in line for that all request show chose that as their #1. I've seen lots of folks not liking another one I adore "Everlasting Everything"- this was requested the first night both by myself, & another person directly in front of me in line (remembe

The Tweedy SG is sold. Enjoy Michael K.!!

For those who didn't act fast enough & had stuff sell out on them, or for those who couldn't make it this year, but might dig the designs...All sorts of Solid Sound 2013 Shirts & Posters are available now at the official Wilco Store website http://wilco.kungfustore.com/

Beyond my wildest expectations!!! I got quite sick starting around Thurs (another member of our team was descending illness wise, but was still sick the whole time too), & it absolutely peaked on Saturday, but I was able to make it through & then some...Tom Waits once said of Keith Richards, something to the effect of- sometimes I think all that's holding him up is the music...and so it was...well that & a little help from my friends (two-legged animal kind, & plant-herb kind as well- thanks Marcus, wherever you are for your amazing herbal jazz ciggies & for the special gre
