you know rumour has it chris cornell was considered to front a zep tour after plant left post reunion show
-
I wonder how it is they decided to do that LZ song? Not exactly the easiest song to play -
i like that it is not a standard LZ choice to cover. always loved that 1. made a big impression when i saw them in 1977. very early show in my concert going. the guys in temple are pretty much in my age group give or take. when we were in high school, the big rock stations here played a LOT of LZ. sabbath cover not unexpected. some of the other choices are interesting. i'm loving that they are doing the cure & a lovely bowie cover. chris' voice sounds great. i think pretty good chance that mr. vedder will show up here. he should be over his world series hangover by then, haha. i'm going to the first night in seattle. sitting front part of the balcony. looking at stubhub for giggles, i could get $1500-2000 for the pair. i am going though!!!!

article about the first totd show in philly. looking good! 2 weeks to go...

i saw norah jones a few nights ago. very nice show in the symphony hall. she was very engaging & had an excellent band. of note for wilco fans, she's borrowed the "hootenany" concept for the encore. they played acoustic around 1 mic, including "i don't know why". it worked well for her. nice date night concert for sure.

well deserved & a long time coming!

I just finished the book. It was quite good.

Wanted a recording from the Fall "Schmilco" tour and grabbed Seattle 9/2 this morning based on the recs above. After two listens I'd just like to add my $.02 that this is a fantastic recording of a fantastic show. The band sounds great and very confident with the new material. The arrangements are thoughtful and everybody's contributions come through really nicely on this warm sounding recording.
Thanks for the rec!
This was my friend's first Wilco show. She said it was the best show she'd ever seen.

It looks like you got a great show. I'm glad you enjoyed it! They are an amazing band. I just saw 2 nights in a row in Seattle at the beginning of September. I've seen the band many times (going back to Summerteeth) & this time was among the best. They changed about half the set list over the 2 nights, so I was glad I went to both. I've turned my friend onto the band & she is a huge fan now. She was only able to go the first night but said it was the best show she's ever seen. I highly recommend the new Seattle Roadcase bundle. The recordings are stellar & I think the recording of the first night is one of the best live recordings I've ever heard. I'm glad to see that Wilco are getting attention in your part of the world. Good music is universal! Since you like Wilco, check out Drive-by Truckers. They are a little more straight ahead rock but have many fine songs. At the core of the band are 2 fine singer/guitarist/songwriters who have been playing together for 30 years in various bands. Below is a link to a show I attended last week. It was excellent even by the band's high standards. & the download is legal, as the band allows taping as long the tapes aren't being sold. Hope you like!

I got the Seattle bundle & both shows are amazing. Night 1 is quite possilbly the best sounding live recording I've ever heard.

excellent charity for disaster relief. i've done some research & this one has a very good rating & 97% of what comes in, goes out. really good percentage compared to others.

I just picked up the Seattle bundle, having gone to both shows. Haven't listened yet. Both were great shows. I had more fun the first night as I was with my friend. I went solo the 2nd night. The incident was weird & definitely kind of put vibe on the show. I was on the other side of the theater & we didn't know was going on. In this post Bataclan world people around me were very nervous as there was no information for a long time. Glad they put these out.
-
As much as I like the new Wilco, I have to say "American Band" is album of the year. Instant classic.
-
the seattle show is up on archive.org. free & legal!
-
Glad to see they're kicking off a show with Filthy & Fried...that one stood out to me immediately as a favorite. Love Kinky Hypocrite, too. Kinda bummed that Shit Shots Count and Primer Coat both dropped out of the set list, though. Still, looking forward to seeing them next month.
They change the setlist every night at least some. I know Shit Shots has been played recently for sure.

if racism becomes a non-issue, i'm ok w/ the lp becoming less relevant.
racism & the gun madness engulfing this country! go ahead & talk about the 2nd amendment. maybe we can go back to crapping in outhouses & chamber pots whilst waiting for the redcoats to come. i'll shut up now. pretty passionate about the subjects on the record.

Really love this dude...
"I'll stand here with my southern accent and say, 'Fuck you, Donald Trump. You do not speak for me. You do not speak for my family. You do not speak for my values. You do not speak for my vision of what this country could and should be.'"
I'm with you. I'm roughly the same vintage as him & we think a lot of stuff in similar way. It's becoming lost in our brainwashed/braindead society. Proud to be a long time DBT fan. I'm listening to the new record again right now. It's an amazing work.

Hey, chuckrh, how was the show?
i am recovering now. didnt get home until 2AM & i got walking pneumonia. luckily i had the foresight to take today off. they were unbelievably good! this was my 1st electric show & they exceeded high expectations. 1st, lydia loveless was a perfect opener. excellent 45 minute set. great band & she has a great voice. sort of reminds me of miley cyrus in a way (i like miley, don't hate on me!). dbt came on about 9:45 & played until 12:30. 31 songs with no break, they did away with the encore ritual. set list below. the band seemed really into it & enjoying themselves. really nice spread of songs & the new stuff was phenomenal. go if you get a chance.

the remaster of temple of the dog that came out today is totally amazing!

I've been playing the new DBT a lot. It keeps getting better & better. Hopefully they will have cds at the rock show tonight as I've been playing a low bit rate download. If not, I'll go buy it tomorrow. The band is really tight & the lyrics are incredible. I'm hoping this record will get them a much deserved bigger audience.

awesome article!
-
stopped at new Beast Mode store before the game yesterday & got to meet the Beast his bad self. we didn't know he was going to be there.
-
Can't wait for the show on Thursday! They're doing a few interesting covers: The Bitch is Back & sneaking Sign O the Times into Hell No I Ain't Happy.

I love that we live in a country where a band called Drive-By Truckers has written a song firmly in support of the Black Lives Matter movement.
As DBT said, it's the dichotomy of the southern thing. I'm thinking about taking a knee during the banner @ the Seahawks game tomorrow. We're playing SF. The Seahawks are doing the interlocking arms things though.

1 week til the big rock show: Drive-by Truckers in a small club. Only $25 too. I'm excited!
Chez..yeah I know he gained a lot of weight. He still shreds on guitar and can still sing well. Update Matthew lost some weight he looks a bit better these days and I'm glad for him!
Girlfriend still an all time favorite. Such a great record. I really enjoyed the covers records with Susanna Hoffs for the most part, too. Such a talent & a nice guy to boot. Have hung out with Matthew a few times.
