As he left the stage after the main set, Jeff called out for security to get the guy out. I happened to be standing next to the guy and tapped him on the shoulder and told him "Say good-bye". He was so drunk, he smiled, thinking I was complimenting him. He had no clue what was going to happen next when security escorted him out. When Jeff came back for the first encore, he commented how different the crowd was this year standing up at the stage and how the band preferred it. I thought it was great how Jeff bounced back and didn't let that crazy ruin a terrific vibe with the crowd.

When all is said and done...this will be an important album. It's a testament to the songwriting that its difficult to chose a favourite song. I feel like this is Wilco's White album.

I wanted to hold out from the webcasts and streamings to hear the album for the first time in tact. Just listened to the first 5 songs in my car coming into work...and felt emotion welling up inside of me as I listened, starting off with Either Way. I don't know if its Jeff's voice, the anticipation of waiting for the album to come out, the melodies, the beautiful instrumentation and arrangements, the maturing of the band, or the feel of music that I listened to when I was alot younger...but I am so thankful to have Wilco around in my life.

Is it only me..but Jeff sounded like Bob Dylan tonite when he sang What Light, even Forget the flowers and Airline to heaven.

It was a high energy show...much better than Toronto's in every way, better and brighter sound, crowd atmosphere, lighting was awesome, the band looked great... thank you Wilco for playing Monday on Monday night!

I was caught off guard too last nite...they got on stage and moved into the song right away. The song is gorgeous and rich in sound moving in and out of minor keys. I liked it right away...reminds me when I first heard Muzzle of Bees for the first time. I can't wait to hear it again. I keep pinching myself that Wilco can continue to write beautiful songs.
