Neil Young is a crazy-ass guitar god. That is all.

Sweet.

They were ok, but to me they sounded like they wanted to be Portishead but aren't as sexy.

One of the things I love most about Wilco is that every time I see them (once or twice a year), their songs have slightly different arrangements.

If it was Wilco, I don't think I would pay $150 for a pair. For Jeff solo, no way. You're talking more than twice face value, for a singer who tours pretty actively. He'll be back, if not solo then with the band, and if not in Charlottesville then in DC or Norfolk, or maybe even Richmond. I wouldn't sweat it.

I haven't got mine yet either. I wouldn't worry about it until closer to the day of the show.

I counted 76, but there was a little blip where I lost the sound for a second.

Fucking law school. If I wasn't going to be swamped with school work come September, I'd be at that Black Cat show in a heartbeat. At least I got to see Glenn open for Jeff last year.

I was the dude in the red shirt dancing and jumping like a maniac, singing along to just about every song. Sorry if I bugged anybody, but I was having a hell of a good time.

This is a little blown out of proportion, and there was a ton of discussion on this board after it happened - 6/30/03, I think. I was at the show, but too far back to see what had happened to make Jeff so angry. According to some people who were closer and could see what was going on, there were two guys front and center who kept taking pictures. Supposedly they were angling the shots so that both one of the guys and Jeff Tweedy would be in the pictures. Maybe they were pointing too, I don't know. Apparently, this went on throughout the show, and they were treating Tweedy as an attraction. Lik

I haven't called this the best Wilco show I've seen, because I also was at the 6/09/04 show at the 9:30 Club - and that was a great, great show. Jeff running onstage, looking happy to be alive, the cracks about Reagan's funeral, hearing the new line-up live for the first time (for me). It was incredible. The Charlottesville show Sunday night is right up there, though. It's a really hard call which was better, so I won't make it. I'm glad to have been at both.

Since someone asked about the Charlottesville show - doors are at 5:30. Show starts at 7. This means French Toast will finish at 7:45, and we can expect Wilco on stage somewhere around 8:15. The venue at William and Mary was pretty cavernous, but Stan does a great job adjusting to any room. I thought the sound was fine, but like I said earlier, I was near the soundboard. The problem, I think, is that the main speakers were pointing towards the seats, and none were pointed toward the floor. There were a few stage monitors pointed toward the crowd on the floor. I bet the sound wasn't the best

I know on paper, this doesn't look like the best setlist, and yeah, they play these songs to death. BUT - the band is on fire right now. This was my sixth (I think) show, and I would hesitate to call it the best, but I can say I have never seen the band play so well. And they all had smiles on their faces throughout the show, totally loving it. Glenn Kotche and Nels Cline are indispensible. The way William and Mary handled the General Admission ticket holders fucking sucked. First we weren't allowed onto the floor, then we were, but only the first row or two of seats, and only after W&M

I'm guessing it's a '62. I have a '62 reissue, and it looks exactly like that (minus the altered pick-up, of course).
