I would love to see a Ted Leo & Wilco bill.

This happened in April 2006 at Brown University. Triple Bill along with OK Go (I'm not sure if they have an exclamation point after the "Go"? )

Wilco &

Talking Heads (reunited)

Pixies

Genesis (pre Gabriel exit)

The Flaming Lips

Wycked Sceptre

A Symphony Orchestra

Built To Spill

Pavement

I knew this reeked of publicity stunt and on CNN of all places little Falcon ratted out his parents on live television.

Beautiful!

Although, I am very frustrated by these "parents" that try to make money by using their children as tools to achieve fame etc.

They & Jon & Kate make Ari Gold and a pimp look like Mr. Rogers.

Heck, throw them all away in a prison and throw the key away. These "parents" are insane and narcissistic.

Hey All,

I was out at my local Uno in Nashua, NH 2 Wednesdays in a row between 11p.m. EST & 1a.m.

I heard @12:30a.m. last week What Light which was amazing because some song before that got the bartender to turn the sound up.

Tonight to my surprise @12:30 they played Airline To Heaven.

I'm 100% sure it is satellite radio.

Hey folks,

So I was listening to my boot from Gillette Night 1 and I noticed that Bono snippetted/tagged Far, Far Away again in the intro to Beautiful Day.

But he changed it to fit the Boston location.

"An Irish boy (obviously not in WIlco's song ) kissing right on the T train

Irish boy in Massachusetts I want to hold you in my arms and sway"

Here's an audio link I put up so folks can hear the snippet/tag.

Thanks to Prof Peabody for indexing it as a standalone track.

Since my best friend was at this show and he is an electrical engineer and somehow illiterate when it comes to torrents, I downloaded this show today.

Very nicely, the taper Prof Peabody, indexed the snippet/tag of Far, Far Away as a stand alone track. I put it up on sendspace for those that want to hear it.

It's actually much clearer quality than that video. So much more clearer that you can make out a bit more lyrics from the tune.

Hey Folks,

Well, I listened to the 1st U2 Chicago show live over the internet as it happened. Someone calls from the show and it shows up on some website called

Mikes1000. Sound isn't the best, but you can make out each song.

So, as mentioned, before Beautiful Day Bono sang part of Far Far Away. And he did it on both nights. When I listened live on Saturday night I almost shit my pants than I forgot about it because it didn't get listed on the U2 fansites. But they just updated it now and I'm glad that I wasn't imagining things.

My best friend and his brother went to the show. I don't think they caught it. I texted them though to test their memory. My best friend remembers it now.

That is all.

Hmm...I didn't even notice that. I'll check it out now.

I guess it does make sense..."out and about" lol..

Thanks

Captain Fantastic & The Brown Dirt Cowboy.

I'd be most interested for the title track which I think they would kill, Meal Ticket which would rock, and the epic We All Fall In Love Sometimes (which kind of reminds me of Everlasting)/Curtains finale.

I do like the choices being thrown around.

The Man was also used in trailers and in the film Observe & Report.

Since the last thing I went to bed was was post in this forum, I ended up dreaming about it. In 2 different scenarios.

Here's what transpired:

1) The Wilco tour bus pulls up to wherever you are and it's only you. Jeff comes out decked in a priest's robe and does a slow motion walk off the bus much like Gwyneth Paltrow meeting Luke Wilson in The Royal Tenenbaums. Only thing is it's your song playing in your head as he walks toward you and not Nico. Jeff slowly hands you your cd back with your one song on it and starts moving his mouth in a way that means "Oh my God that was amazing!", but keep in mind no words come out. He slowly does the sign of the cross on your cd and touches your nose in a playful manner than he walks back to the tour bus.

2) You hand Jeff the cd and he says that he wants to go put it on right now on the tour bus. To your amazement he really does. He runs up the tour bus steps and he vanishes while you wait outside. You hear your music playing inside the tour bus. You are filled with happiness. Than you begin to hear heaving noises and all sorts of bodily functions. It lasts for 2.5 minutes. You get upset and devastated. You think "wow, what nerve?" Once your song stops a nice roadie comes off the tour bus and hands you your cd back. You ask "where's Jeff?" He tells you "sorry man..the guys had burritos before the show and they couldn't wait to finish Spiders and run off stage to hit the toilets." You feel relieved much like Nels or Pat or Mikael did just moments ago.

Hmm...you say the song is 2.5 minutes long....hmm....hmm...

Eddie Vedder is that you?

The only similar thing that I've personally come across is when my friend got to open for Ryan Adams after meeting him at Higher Ground in Vermont April 2005. Than we got to go onto his tour bus at the next show at Hampton Beach. He even called out to him during the show to say something like "you're coming with me". At the Vermont show I know they talked about music and he wanted a cd of my friend's music. So that's why he wanted to see him after the show. It sounds crazy but I have the bootleg and you can hear him onstage saying it. I saw my friend give him the cd and than that was it. I have no idea if he listened to it or if he used it for personal use a coaster.

So I guess Ryan Adams went back on tour in June and my friend got to meet him again at the Clifton Park show in NY. That's where he personally asked him to open the show the next day at the Starland Ballroom in NJ. It's even listed on www.answeringbell.com. All The Tired Horses. Even though it was only my friend and his girlfriend who performed due to it being last minute and there was no way for the band to come down to NJ from MA/NH with such short notice. Sadly, I was at a Boston Red Sox game when my friend got to open.

I guess my point is my friend had an amazing experience, but the next time he got to meet Ryan he had no idea who he was. Which is fine I guess on the outside looking in. But for anyone who knows the Cold Roses tour he was going for the Jerry Garcia image. He probably wasn't in the right frame of mind. Within seconds my friend laughed it off as classic Ryan Adams behavior.

He didn't get any recording contract or a letter from anyone in the business about his cd. But he got one of his biggest idols to ask him for his own music which is pretty irreplaceable.

I don't suggest tracking Tweedy down obviously, but I'm not really sure what you want him to say. In my case, I'm a film guy and have done a short film. I don't foresee myself trying to track down Quentin Tarantino to ask his opinion about a scene in my film or rather unproduced script. I did see Harvey Keitel accept a script from a woman at a screening in Boston once at a film festival. Not sure if that ever got made but it made her year I'm sure.

I do think you could meet Jeff after a show and hand it off to him personally. But I would not recommend asking him to listen to it right there in that moment.

Would you be happy if Jeff just had a copy of your song/album with no commentary?

Like others have posted: you need to pave your own way on your own terms. Talk to close friends or people who play music locally where you live for opinions. Go out and play shows.

There's Always Money In The Banana Stand!!!!

Happy Birthday Jeff!!

Thanks for being in this world during my time and filling it with pure pleasure and satisfaction.

I'll go to my grave knowing that I met one of my idols and it was an amazing experience.

Just saw this. It's not just on the soundtrack ... it inspired the movie, you guys.

That's very interesting and nice to hear. Too bad it didn't do well at the box office. It got great reviews which I didn't see coming.

Strangely enough I heard about this on Facebook from an old college friend in NYC. Than 2 minutes later it broke on the local Boston channels.

So I was looking around iTunes for a few minutes to finally buy the Jesus, Etc. track from Funny People and I had to see what was on this teeny bopper soundtrack that somehow has David Bowie in the movie.

And to my dismay I found that it had a Wilco track on it? Not only Wilco but David Bowie's Rebel Rebel, Nico & The Velvet Underground's Femme Fatale and Nick Drake's Road. Than there's Vanessa Hudgens and some other bands I don't know of.

That's all,

Kristofor

PS I may have a movie theater manager friend of mine sneak me into this for further evaluation.

This is everything any Wilco fan needs for setlists and the like. Off the top of my head I forget the exact dates of the Ashes shows, but it's easy to search around that site.

Edit: Ok, I just realized that you're looking for the setlist for the DVD and not the actual shows they were culled from. Still bookmark the site though.

PAPI!

Just like the good old days - a 3-run shot to put the Sox ahead 6-5 in the 7th.

Yeah, MLBTradeRumors is a great site.

To LouieB and Kidsmoke and others who have posted about "clingy" people I am reposting this from earlier this year. My worst concert experience:

The 2 worst experiences I had were at the same venue: Agganis Arena at BU. 1. Pixies in 05- This couple gets in front of me and my friend. We're in the front row of the 2nd second floor section. So these people obviously aren't in their seats. I try tapping the girl's shoulder first since she was in front of me. Nothing. Than I look for the staff to help out or at least do a nod to this not-in-their-seat-couple. More tapping. I try speaking but it's too loud. So I start blowing at the back of her head. Well, this she felt since she spun around like the devil and threw her $5.00 water at me. So of course at this point the security comes over and she starts yelling at him about me and he starts to say, "come with me." To which I try to tell him, "check my tickets and than check theirs...we're in the 1st row of this section..." So finally he notices that they're in the wrong and than he takes them away. It was a total deliberate invasion of space. She was in a position much like one's girlfriend would be. Her ass was in my crotch when she danced. Normally I guess I wouldn't mind given the situation but there wasn't even a foot between us and she was there with her boyfriend. I couldn't move and the PIxies already played Subbacultcha, so that ruled out any fantasy that would have manifested.

I caught both shows in Milwaukee in April. A guy in front of me was literally yelling over the music. I tapped him on the shoulder lightly and motioned with my hand for him to lower his voice. He had the nerve to ask "am I talking too loudly for you?" to which I replied "considering there's a band on stage and they're performing? yes, you are talking too loudly for me." Jerk.

 

Sadly, basic, common courtesy seems to have gone the way of the wagon wheel...at concerts and everywhere else.

Wow, some people are all about themselves and haven't got a clue about what a certain event should be like. Or maybe they do and they want to get into a fight to defend their freedom to do as they want at a show?

Did Jeff call this guy out?

If not maybe the fans should team up and rough this guy up or threaten to cut his tongue out and throw it out on stage.

"am I talking too loudly for you?" - man, I can just picture this guy and exactly the way he would look while saying it too.

I like the way you think! I had been formulating a Columbus plan but in the end I couldn't really justify giving up two vacation days to go to Ohio.

 

I think you're right about later NE dates - maybe a makeup date for the Boston area rainout, maybe NYE at MSG? I will be patient. I just always like having a Wilco show to look forward to!

I also was looking for a "makeup" date for the Lowell rainout, but it does seem unlikely now with all the tour dates we've seen.

It's been 5 years since the New Year's Eve show. I think it'd be cool for one this year.

I also love this song and would love for it to show up from time to time. It's only 2.5 minutes. It'll be painless for the folks that don't like it.

I posted in the "Heard While You're Out And About" thread that my friend said he heard this song played on Satellite Radio at the Outback Steakhouse. So it is getting love. Maybe Outback will use it for a fish dish commercial in the future
