Thanks for keeping up the reportage bböp!

 

Even if it feels like a chore for you - I appreciate tuning in every day for a blast of banter corner or wondering at the occasional deep cut! 

 

 

 

agreed. Very much appreciate the recaps! 

Hate It Here gave me pause to think about our Brazilian friend Mariana, and briefly consider "what ARE we gonna do" when we run out of shows to attend, and rails to secure, and pre-sales to freak out over..... 

I had to laugh when Jeff said "Who you going to follow, The National?" cus I am going to Seattle next week for two of their shows at the Paramount... He gets me.

Loved it! Great night!! Thanks to Bbop for all the great reports. U inspired me to get to as many shows as possible.

Seems like a lot of tix left for some of the non sold out shows. I am trekking solo from AZ for the Sante Fe show and may head down to El Paso if I am inspired enough to drive that far. Love to meet any other Wilco heads up there for a beer or preshow tailgate. Golfing at Buffalo Thunder during the day on Tuesday before the show...   

what are Wilco Heads known as? ... Wilclones, Justfans??? I wonder?

​i always thought this was an interesting insight and great advice for other artists and very poignant...

 
"And if the whole world’s singing your songs, And all of your paintings have been hung
Just remember what was yours, Is everyone’s from now on

And that’s not wrong or right, But you can struggle with it all you like, You'll only get uptight"

My first SolidSound, I must say the best 2 Wilco shows I have ever seen hands down. Curious to see what tweedy n friends will be. Hopefully a little less crowded today. Peace!

I came to Wilco via Son Volt a long time ago.... Just saw Jay in Phoenix a couple weeks ago at the fabulous Crescent Ballroom, i was excited to see him(especially at that intimate venue) but I was really tired so i didnt get into it as i should have, but it wasnt the best show i have seen. I would go again though if he came back thru town. 

Hi all! Very excited for my 3rd SS. Just trying to figure out how to get to the festival from Boston. Does anyone know if anyone is doing a carpool (coming from MD). Flew into Boston and buses over the firs time.

i just sent u a message... anybody else need a ride?

I saw them in PHX and it was the best show i have seen this year... But i have never seen them after listening for 20 years so i was excited and they nailed it.

I am renting a car and driving from Boston on the morning of Friday June 23rd and back to Logan Intl airport Monday morning June 26th. Looking for 1 or 2 festival goes who need a ride and want to split the rental car expense (it will be cheaper & faster than any of the other ride options i have seen.)

I also put a ride share request in on Skeedaddle (search for the Boston to SS on those dates)... If Skeedadle gets enough riders I will cancel the car.

please reply if you need a ride

Solid sound ride share from Boston.

I am thinking of renting a car and hoped I could get some other SolidSound attendees who need to get to North Adams from Boston to chip in and share the ride. I may start a new topic on this but I thought I would try it out here first.

Anyone interested or are there any better alternatives for transportation? My first SS and I know very little about the area.

that video is crazy. the band seems pretty amazed. sounded like a bit of an extended jam and Glenn got out of his normal pattern and played off of Nels for a moment. Never heard that before...  

Thanks for the run down. Good stuff. I was hoping they would live stream at least one of these shows, last nights would have been ideal... maybe they will on this next leg down south. I wonder how south american audiences will be for them. Sorry to see this little stretch come to an end.   

Yeah there was a great little jam in it also one in Locator right before, a solid one-two combo as people have pointed out all tour. You Are My Face Reservations Impossible Germany was a tryptich of awesomeness too. John's vocals were so great on any songs he did backup on and of course so pure on Its Just That Simple. He is a great singer.

Not too mention an incredible bass player. SO glad i saw the Seattle shows and consequently the new album is really getting under my skin... having heard much of it live i appreciate the songs much more. Especially sweet live were the little harmonies with Jeff and John on If I ever was a child, the more quiet stripped down set up was great to be able hear that live. Any show with You are my face is awesome... Also cool to see the Star Wars tunes among others... 

Btw... I have given up trying to turn people on to Wilco. Its an acquired taste, but once you get a taste for it, it all tastes good to me. I have played in bands and been heavy into music my whole life and i think thats why i really appreciate the musical twists and turns and variety Wilco provide while still being definitively Wilco. I wouldnt rank their records cus they all have something artistically valuable & musically interesting to offer. It's ART yo!!! 

Also Paul/bbop/Mrcheeztastic, I may have stood next to you at a show. thank you for your recaps. really great and appreciated!!

Enjoy night 3 in LA... I wish you were here, better yet, I wish i was there with you...

Omg, really? Are you the proverbial "asshole in Des Moines?" Jeff referenced in that recent Consequence of Sound interview?

 

I mean they are showcasing songs from Wilco Schmilco, so I suspect the shell of the sets are gonna be pretty similar, but they've definitely opened up the repertoire quite a bit the past few shows (and will probably continue doing so in SF). What were you expecting, exactly? Yeesh.

agreed! Muzzle of Bees, Theologians, Ashes, Magazine called sunset, among others... wow

Some quick thoughts based off of the recording that I downloaded. I haven't listened to the 2nd show yet.

 

1. Jesus, etc. sounds rejuvenated! It's about time. I love the organ on it. Jeff sang the whole song and it made me fall in love with the song all over again and not want to skip it in person or on a live disc.

2. Locator is a beast now. Sounds much better than the MN show that was broadcast a few weeks ago. Love that double bass and the extended outro.

3 I'm Always In Love & A Shot In The Arm both sound amazing in this current stripped down version.

4. I'm extremely happy that they've been showcasing Reservations and nailing it.

5. All of the new songs sound amazing and have room to grow. Nope really comes alive and so does Cry All Day.

 

I'm looking forward to seeing this tour.

where can I download this?

Pretty funny when he said they were up all night painting leaves. Crowd was mellow and restrained but the energy was good. For me the show went by really fast, and I was looking for a longer encore, but it was all good. Really loved Jesus etc and either way, new songs were nice. I am bummed a bit that I saw them last year at red rocks 2 days before Star Wars came out and I missed all the Star Wars shows... I guess I got Schmilco'd! Going back for more tonight!!!!

Great show

I have a lower level, I am trying to upgrade for Saturday closer to the stage

where are the seats?

Looking for best seat singles for both or either night

Live streaming was awesome!!! I saw my first show of the tour on my flat screen with great sound. No way I could go to NY, but I sat in AZ and enjoyed the show. Sorry to have missed earlier acts but wilco and warren Haynes/govt mule were great!!!! Cool to see Nels come out for rebel rebel!!

What would we be without wishful thinking?  (Sorry - someone had to say it.)

well played sir!

I really hoped to be there for these shows... I bet they will mix the set list up a little for tonight's show.

I wonder if they will add more tour dates or finish recording all the additional songs Jeff said he had in the Rolling Stone interview. 2 new albums in the same year? is it possible? Could it be?

Nice..."You Are My Face" is so sweet!
