I was at a nice ball park in Lowell, MA on Saturday night and I heard Wilco being played for about an hour and a half. Quite odd.

Yeah, you're right.

A few more thoughts popped into my head. 1. I hope no one came down with the cold or pneumonia from being drenched. 2. If you bought merchandise, I hope you can still tell what it is that you bought and it isn't soaked to shreds. Yeah, I also found those youtube videos last night. Awesome. The closeup video of Jeff letting those two little kids play guitar is amazing. Those kids will grow up to be rock stars. Kristofor

Ok, I'm ready to add some more thoughts. I thought the highlight for me was seeing a 2 year old (? maybe 3 ?) getting his groove on during You Are My Face's tempo shift. It transcended everything. Paraphrasing here: Jeff acknowledges the bleachers and we bang on the floor and seats. Jeff says something like "wow..that sounds like Fred Flinstone starting his car." Or something to that effect. LOL. Paraphrasing here too: I think Jeff said something like "well hello there?.." crowd laughs...Jeff replied with "I'm trying to pick you all up" Getting down to the venue for 2pm was cool and s

F*CK!!! Also, I read they did Too Far Apart. When was the soundcheck? Around 4? I went down to the Park at 2 for a half hour or so. Only 15 minute drive. I also missed Jeff jogging too. I'll post this later in the Lowell thread.

I think they'll play those songs along with other classics on a Fall tour. Much like Misunderstood is being played this time around. It will probably be left off in the fall or whenever and something like Sunken Treasure will take its place. We'll see, Kristofor

Luckily, I had a 15 minute drive from the Park. Completely soaked...even with a very smart idea: A Poncho. Amazing setlist and they were just on. Every new song killed. Saw Paul earlier in the day and I told him I wanted to hear Deeper Down and we both thought it wouldn't be played due to a big outdoor show. I'll post more later. A big bummer considering what's been played for 1st and 2nd encores nowadays. The lightning bolt and fireworks during Via Chicago was a highlight. I sat directly behind home plate. It was weird with the screen to look through. It felt like watching them on

Just tell them...................Large Marge sent ya!!!!

Wow! A Setlist Party!! Hmm...interesting that they came out at 9. I was expecting 8 for the ball park shows. But I was kind of in the right ball park.

Show Me The Way: Ok, here's some extra info for folks coming out of town. I know that we have GPS but they don't speak of landmarks. At least not that I know of They show you how to come 495/3 on the Official Site, so I'll give you the other couple of ways. 93 North or South: Exit 46. It's a rotary in Methuen and from here you can either go 110 (left) or 113 (right). Maybe a 10-15 minute drive both routes. 110 - Stay on 110 until you hit an overpass. Than you can take a left at the bridge (Bridge St) if Heroes (costume store?) and Dunkin Donuts are on your right. Take your first right

Jimthedrummer, Mickey's Pub & Grill is definitely a long walk from LeLacheur Park. It's on Central St. If you're coming from the park head down Market St which has the Athenian Corner, Dubliner, Blue Shamrock on your left. Than at the lights stay in your right lane, you should pass by this place called Centro on your right. Take a right there onto Central St. and Mickey's should be on the right side of the street. There should be a parking garage (Leo Roy directly across from Blue Shamrock) before you take your right onto Central. It's like a 5 minute walk from there. And it's not very

Starry Eyed Squirrel, I'm living in Hudson, NH. I'll be at the show. Though I don't know if I'd be able to meet up before the show since I'm going with 4 friends. Not sure what they want to do. I'll let you know, Kristofor

I still think the 10-19-06 show in D.C. at the 930 Club holds the "official" record for most Nothings. I just tried counting them and I lost track at about 70. Edit: It's 75 Nothings. In fact, from 4:17-5:56 that's all there is. Unfortunately, I can't find old reviews of the show on here for an accurate count. Kristofor PS Maybe at the Minor League Ballpark shows we can put up Nothing signs like they do for pitchers and strikeouts/Ks. Edit 2: Here's the link to listen in on what could be the Cooperstown definitive version of this song. There has to be a show where Jeff hit 80. http://www.s

Yeah, I noticed this as well. I still come here or to Wilcobase for setlists. I wonder if it's the actual setlists with songs not played or the actual setlist (?! ) of what was played.

Mr. Show.

Yes, it is his 3rd film that he's directed. The marketing people at Sony Pictures wants everyone in America to know that. LOL. It's advertised that way as if to say "for all those people that we duped into thinking that he directed everything that we slapped his name on since 2005 than Ooops we lied to make money." Although those movies produced and sometimes co-written by him like Superbad and Pineapple Express were usually marketed as "FROM" Judd Apatow. But in actuality (as I'm sure mostly everyone knows) Greg Mottola and David Gordon Green directed the 2 films I listed. (End of Unnecessary

I'll be there. I promised earlier that I'd try to make a list of things for the Lowell show. Here's my 1st crack. I'll post more specific directions later. I don't drink but still know from going out the "hot" places. (Let me quote myself from a different thread..if that's ok with everyone? ) Parking/Tailgating: The parking for Spinners' games is pretty fucked up. Let me explain: the big outdoor parking lot is literally in front of old mills-turned-into-posh-lofts. The fools set it up so that all these people park right in front of where those people live. So I'm not sure if they'd l

Hey Chooch, The parking for Spinners' games is pretty fucked up. Let me explain: the big outdoor parking lot is literally in front of old mills-turned-into-posh-lofts. The fools set it up so that all these people park right in front of where those people live. So I'm not sure if they'd let you hang around, especially since they want you to buy beer indoors. I haven't seen much tailgating at a Spinners game. The other big parking lot is a multilevel parking lot adjacent to the park. Not the most fun place to tailgate. If you can make it all the way downtown, I'd try Cobblestones, Old Court

Hey Folks, Not sure if this has been listed on here. I've been away for 10 days. So I was watching the television and saw an ad for Funny People. I remember reading a script review about how a scene takes place at a Wilco show. I haven't heard anything since than. So I decided to take a look at a possible soundtrack listing. There's a live version of Jesus, Etc. (allegedly from Tanglewood August 12, 2008). We'll find out on July 31st, if there's live footage of the band. Though I'd hate for it to be Sandler and Rogen in a crowd and you never see a band. Kristofor PS Do you think it

Well, I came back from Maine and I was dying to see what was done for opening night. I'm pretty satisfied. If anyone finds any live bit torrents let us know. I'll dig later on at Interference. If I find anything I'll post. Kristofor

Wow! So I'm labeling this show on my iTunes..(thanks to the tapers on this tour ) and I thought I missed You Are My Face. Well, shiver me timbers...it wasn't actually played. This must be the first show in a long time where it wasn't played. Kristofor PS Seriously, I was like WTF. What happened to YAMF? Nice to see some tunes get a break to make room for stuff like Nothing'severgonnastandinmyway(again) and A Magazine Called Sunset. Edit: And I just noticed Handshake Drugs was also NOT played. I need to stop looking at these West Coast setlists when I wake up. I don't remember them

Sad day. Take care of yourselves out there, Kristofor

Yeah, I just saw this on the news. Scary stuff. I hope he recovers. Edit: Hmm...odd about the local news reporting such a thing. I don't really know exactly what cardiac arrest is. Time to go to webmd to look.

Hey Folks, I just got my "commemorative" tickets for Lowell in. A word of caution: be careful when you get your mail. The envelope the tickets were in were smaller than the normal ticketmaster envelopes and a typical postcard. It almost slipped out of my bundle of mail. The tickets don't feature any pictures of the band. But they are blue and have silvery stars on the corners. I'm not sure if that is the Minor League ticket look? Kristofor Edit: I forgot to mention that I spoke to someone who works at the Lowell Telecommunication Corporation (local public access channel). He said t
