This is going to be so much fun!!  I finally had to admit to a friend that since I have started going to Wilco's shows, I find the concerts I used to enjoy going to kind of, uh, boring!! 

The Autumn Defense have been posting photos on FB of them recording in Chicago throughout January-February.

If at all possible, I think I love Jeff even more after listening to this.

Ditto!!  Made my night!

Can't believe I am actually doing this, but I'm in for both nights! GC the first night and regular for the second!  Flying from Canada and I'm up for the early group request idea!  Looking forward to meeting up with some of you fine folk!

One Ontario early worm is very very happy!!!  

What a great video - thanks for sharing!

Excellent (and varied) line up for the Sleepwalk festival in TO.

Love what Luke says about Nels in his Welcome address:

“I have always been a Wilco fan. Right back to their first LP “AM”, I’ve been a devotee of their post-alt-country, crazier-than-Crazy Horse anthems. Enter Nels Cline… Cline has been pushing the boundaries of improvisational jazz & New York experimental music (Is there such a genre??) for decades. His whirling right hand is, in itself, a thing to behold. When coupled with the endless array of textures & sounds at his disposal, we are at a loss to call his music jazz, rock, fusion…your call. The union between the atmospheric majesty & sublime lyrical ambitions of Wilco with the bravery & mastery of Nels Cline was nothing short of musical epiphany to music fans of many stripes. He almost single handedly closed the door on the alt-country chapter of not only Wilco but an entire culture of imitators, leaving Wilco holding the mantle at the vanguard of honest, ambitious, uncharted song craft & soundscape. We expect all the aural gymnastics you can imagine when Nels Cline graces our stage”.

Thanks for all the info everyone...soo looking forward to a great night!

From what I can see on the map, the park looks pretty big. I think the amphitheatre is close to South Avenue. Does anyone know where the "gates" are for this and where the best place for parking might be? BTW - I'm pretty new here and am thrilled to be finally getting to a show on this leg of the tour!!

^{Going to Rochester ...have only been to shows in Toronto and Hamilton in the past (but plan to do more!)}
