Official releases rather than "leaks". It may be streamable in full, but that takes away from their Spotify, Apple Music etc income in official release week. The shows will sell out anyway, so it makes no difference whether they play new music at them or not. In fact some fans may well prefer them not to play the new stuff.

But Star Wars wasn't a leak. It was a surprise immediate availability. There had been no announcement of a release date for the physical version until that happened. The new album will be released in all formats on Oct 4th, only then will it be available to stream in full is what I think. There may be 1 or 2 other songs released in advance of that though.

What are "Autobahn" songs. Ones influenced by Kraftwerk?

Certainly for YHF and Star Wars they weren't "pre-released", just released in download or streaming form. I see no reason that they would announce a release date then scupper that by pre-releasing it early.

Not sure why they would do that. It's announced as coming out in Oct, they will no doubt play a few songs from it in Sept, then many more after release (maybe all of it from start to finish)

I am curious why anyone would expect WIlco not to do a version of it? The first version isn't by them so it is pretty obvious they will re-record it I would suggest.

I have had digital releases of both albums for a while, just needed some basic computing skills when they were being streamed on the website (of course I had previously bought both albums on vinyl)

I probably would have said "Side with the Seeds" (and they played it!). Love Sky Blue Sky.

Was a wonderful experience except for one thing, staying in MCLA dorms. I expected basic accomodation, but not that basic. Anybody else stay there? Am thinking of sending a complaint. For what it cost, it was basically a rip off. Ok at $50-60 a night, but not more than double that.

Cate le Bon was also excellent. Anyone who missed that also missed Jeff joining her for a couple of songs including The Kinks' Strangers. Wonderful!

Rushed to buy a ticket without checking my schedule. Just a single in front section: Wilco at Budweiser Stage Section 101 Row K $115.50 all in Send a DM if you want it. Paypal and I will transfer within Ticketmaster.

I was looking forward to that!

I think they are becoming experts at maximising their income. Tough life for musicians these days.

Thank you, but I wonder if some of that material ended up on Warmer?

Really?

If I take my (vinyl) copies of Warm and Warmer to Solid Sound will they let me swap them for the snazzy new double LP with better packaging and bonus track?

Would that be long enough to record a whole new album? Surely not.

When would they have recorded it? Jeff has been on solo tour for more than a year (off and on), and has released two albums. They only recently convened after 18 months off I thought.

Had front row for Toronto, but "somebody else beat me to the tickets". Got a reasonable seat in front block though.

Exactly and some at SS come from very long distances away. Doubt they will re-think but people should make their views known on the facebook page.

I think this is a terrible idea. Was hoping for something really special on the Friday night. This isn't it. Possibly an extention of Jeff's sometimes misguided attempts to engage with his audience. At solo shows this takes the form of "banter" which can be ok in small doses, but ultimately proves tiresome. I want 100% Wilco which means 100% Jeff vocals (with maybe one from John).

Please show affection without annoying signs please. And as stated ir is not their comeback gig. Non US shows are important too.

No, as I wrote above, Rust Never Sleeps is actually a live album (apart from 2 tracks). The audience sounds were removed, but can still be heard in one ot two places. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rust_Never_Sleeps

Who knows? But the fact there will be a proper release of Warmer in July would appear to suggest that any Wilco release would be some time after that. I would like them to record an album of new songs live, like Neil Young used to do with Time Fades Away (or mainly) Rust Never Sleeps. Would also make it sound more like a Wilco album than the last two which are somewhat difficult to distinguish from Tweedy/Jeff Tweedy releases.

I think this one is recommended on the Facebook page. Avoids ripoff fees at the official one: https://cashortrade.org/wilco-tickets/?search_phrase=Wilco&fbclid=IwAR14tad_66H6BlcSZP-olOSZh2k_T0PviyD2RpdXtC8KiJ5YyJqjhPisYcY
