I'm loving the Roadcase #47 release of the all acoustic show!! It's certainly a step up from both the kindly released previous sources (NYC Taper & the WFUV Broadcast), & I'm extra thrilled as I was up close on the right side fence myself (with some friends who I didn't want to leave, but was tempted to...because...) and I pretty much couldn't hear Mikael at all either. I loved the all acoustic show, & was glad I got to see it. It was a little difficult sound wise though, & while a unique success, not quite as rousing & thrilling as the all-covers show (hope they bring th

Wouldn't have looked it up without your tip. do you recall where the guitar nerd banter was? I have a friend who adores that guitar & would love to direct him to it. Thanks! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5prScByw-v0

Looking very forward to what I hope will be all three shows (Wilco Nights 1 (Fri.) & 2 (Sat.) and Tweedy/Jeff Tweedy Sunday closing set) in Roadcase format...really hoping night #2 makes it as it was just amazing!!!! It's wild to think that there was a second encore planned as well ("Be Not So Fearful", "Thirteen", "Spiders", "Dreamer In My Dreams") that the weather thwarted!!!

THANKS SO MUCH!!! Sounds pretty great!!! Excited for the Roadcase release!!!

This is from another thread here... posted by "Pop Quiz Kid" (thanks!!)... "Here's a link to a tracked out and labeled 192k mp3 quality version of the WFUV stream from last night. This sounds pretty darn good except for several dropouts during Company In My Back. But is better than nothing until they release it officially and we'll all purchase a copy You'll have to unzip it once you download it. The link will be available thru July 3rd.

Oh man! I wonder if the weather knocked out that second encore? What a great foursome that would have been on top of an already amazing show!!! On well, it was still pretty incredible, as always!

OK folks I had a friend who was there last time & is too sick to travel. He's assumed all financial responsibility, realizes it's late in the game & is willing to take the "make an offer" route. My friend Stan's son cancelled last week & we've been unable to get any takers for that ticket & Stan is also good with the "make an offer" option. And finally, my friend Dan's son did a last minute bail out, but he wants $75 minimum. My contact info is as follows: cell phone 585-813-3561...home/office 585-346-4510... Will be on the road @ 8:30 a.m. tomorrow, so only cell after that.

I saw that! I'd been hoping that this would somehow or another happen...like those concerts in MassMOCA... but at this point I think it'd be a great idea to just to go ahead & have him play a full acoustic set as a replacement on Sunday.

No King Sunny & no Taj Mahal...how about adding a full Richard Thompson acoustic set!!!!!

No King Sunny, no Taj Mahal... how about... a Richard Thompson acoustic set!!!!!

I'm still thrilled to be going- with Wilco, Tweedy/Jeff Tweedy & Richard Thompson alone, it'd be plenty enough for me...but... Ouch!! King Sunny Ade was way up there was acts I was the most excited about! And I'd have to love to have seen Taj Mahal again too! That's some really tough last minute breaks for all concerned. Just get Yo La Tengo to fill in!!!

I'm hoping for acoustic Richard too!!! Maybe we'll luck out with something not on the schedule, impromptu & in one of the MassMOCA buildings. Didn't this happen with a few acts last time too? I didn't make any of them, but am I remembering wrong or did Lucius, & maybe someone else do this?

Ah "Bonus Feature"- it's just the clip going around of them rehearsing & then playing the Pavement song "Cut Your Hair"...

I wonder if they in fact filmed the full Wilco performances on both nights? It would be incredible to have a 2 show release of both nights of Wilco from 2013!!! While I doubt this....wouldn't it be something if they were getting together something with that? You know those Solid Sound shows from 2013 (Roadcase #18 & #19) are the only two Roadcase shows that are no longer available? I wish they'd surprise us at Solid Sound with that release! A DVD/Blu-Ray & CD Box Set of the 2013 Wilco performances for continuing 20th Anniversary goodies goodness on the occasion of the Solid Sound of

Just downloaded it. Will be watching in an hour or two, but I just previewed it by skipping here & there with it for 10-15 minutes. File Under- Happy Synchronicities. And I won't spoil the ending, but... The front vestibule/entrance area at my acupuncture office is an "L" shaped area, with a mural on the wall & the acoustics of the stair well of your dreams- echo-laden & lovely. You sound better than you ever have when you play there. I practice acoustic there all the time (inside it's like a bunker & absolute electric heaven). I had a friend over this week to jam. We'd ne

PM'd you that my friend can't make it...so please give it to whoever is next in line!

PM'd you. Just called a friend in Acton, Mass. & hope to hear back from him tomorrow. Either way, bravo to you for doing this & sorry to hear The Matz were goofing off on the tour to a detrimental degree...

At Solid Sound 2013 I was most excited, & impressed with Yo La Tengo (to be fair they were already my other favorite band in the world besides Wilco & have been for many years), & I was thrilled to finally, believe it or not, catch The Dream Syndicate for the first time. Having Parquet Courts there is going to make me miss those guys much less than I otherwise would have. Here's the sampler: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5CvZTIoir8 And if you dug that, dig into the whole KEXP performance (the smapler was the closing song): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rEwOhbSbeI

Better than Disneyland...I'm fond of saying it's like having Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory located in the middle of Pepperland. Joe's Field has plenty of places to toss down a nice blanket, but... from what the veteran's have said about it's development (my first time was last time, 2013), & I concur that it's getting to be at about capacity size wise & I hope it doesn't grow any. I don't think it can really (think there are probably legal limits they are reaching on Saturday at least) & it's still good size wise, but with Saturday sold out & Friday being acoustic/unplugged g

~Richard Thompson: First & foremost. I've seen him, in both electric & acoustic incarnations, loads of times over the last couple decades & he's on my highest top shelf of loved artists. I"m as excited about him as I was about Yo La Tengo at the 2013 SS. Especially hoping he does what YLT did in '13 & what he did with Wilco on the AmericanaramA tour...sit in with Wilco. Richard Thompson & Nels Cline were just amazing (got to catch that twice on that tour) & I'm hoping that Richard sits in on both Saturday & Sunday for the finale (which would seem certain). ~Nels Cl

Post-Schedule Thoughts... 1) I REALLY hope Richard Thompson sits in with them on Saturday night & we get to hear he & Nels Cline do what they did on the AmericanaramA tour (caught two of those gigs where they did)...and if not on Saturday, then at least on Sunday during the Tweedy/Jeff Tweedy/Jeff Tweedy & Friends set... still wish they'd been able to book Thompson as both solo acoustic & electrio trio, but maybe he'll play some acoustic with either Wilco or more likely, if at all, with Jeff & friends on Sunday... 2) Friday is almost all about getting down front as far as

Love St. Vincent!!! I've seen her a number of times myself... And... recently still listening to the 20th anniversary shows... various Port Chester & Winterlude shows...and my own custom virtual Wilco unplugged double CD mix, culled from the acoustic performances at those shows...
