  1. Kimmel shoots in LA, so it makes sense that they were booked for this week.

    Oh, I know that Kimmel shoots in L.A. I attended a taping back in 2006. I should have clarified that I was surprised & happy that they were still going to be promoting Ode To Joy 5 months after the release date on a late night talk show. A lot of bands tend to do all of the talk shows at once. I guess WIlco has been in the other category where the band tends to spread out appearances and I appreciate them for that.

  2. Beautiful performance. I was sorta surprised to hear that Wilco was originally booked because they would have been on tour on the west coast. I don’t think Kimmel has ever had WIlco on his show. I know Jeff was on there last year. I’m guessing Jeff might show up on another late night talk show somewhere in the next few weeks.

  5. What is the name of the John Prine songs Jeff did last night??

    Summer’s End

    Angel From Montgomery

    Illegal Smile

     

    I’m going to post the “setlists” for the past couple of Tweedy Shows in a little bit.

  6. Yeah, I’d imagine that Phil has to own the rights to the footage. The music though? I’m not so sure. Their music still makes me emotional too.

     

    I think a Rattle & Hum deluxe edition with bonus tracks and footage is long overdue. I’m sure a band like U2 that wants to make as much $$ as possible from past releases have a plan to do so.

  7. My test came back negative. Still need to be careful but at least don't have to do full quarantine.

    Excellent news! I’ve been a diabetic since April 2018 & I actually feel a lot better from dietary changes and more exercise, so I feel a bit indestructible, but I’ve noticed that when I’ve gotten sick it’s taken a bit more time to heal.

     

    Sports notes: (this should really be in the Silver Linings thread, but I’ll put it here since folks mentioned not being able to watch sports.) If you haven’t cut the cord, then you should be enjoying lots of old classic games from all 4 major sports.

     

    Today you can catch Game 7 of the 2016 World Series between the Cubs & Indians on your local FOX affiliate. It’s on at 3pm EST. Tomorrow you can catch the Patriots/Falcons OT Super Bowl on your local FOX affiliate. It’s on at 3pm EST.

     

    NFL Network has been airing old Super Bowls dating back to 2001. I finally got to watch 3 Super Bowls that I missed: Giants/Ravens in 2001, Buccaneers/Raiders in 2003, & Steelers/Seahawks in 2006. I think I was better off not watching them. Really bad games. No wonder NFL Network barely airs those 3.

     

    NESN has been airing the 2011 Stanley Cup Championship run of the Boston Bruins. Warts & all. NESN has been airing the 2013 Boston Red World Series title run, but only the games that they won. I finally got to watch Game 2 of the ALDS against the Tampa Bay Rays. I was at Bill Maher that night. I also missed ALCS Games 3 & 4 where I was at Pearl Jam.

     

    NBC Sports aired the best OT Stanley Cup playoff games last Monday. And they’ve sprinkled in other playoff games throughout the weeknights.

     

    MLB Network has been also airing classic MLB games from different eras.

     

    I even saw Wrestlemania listed on ESPN last Sunday night. Strange times indeed.

     

    I’m sure lots of these classic games can also be found on YouTube. Or I’d imagine that your local sports team’s channel is throwing back to classic games during this time period.

  8. I was surprised to see that The Dream Syndicate have a new record coming out in April titled The Universe Inside. I vaguely recall a post from Steve Wynn on FB saying that he had been mixing a new record for release in the spring. For some reason, I thought that my memory had been from late 2018 and for their last record released last May. The opening track, The Regulator, has a video and the song runs 20 minutes. In fact, this new record only has 5 songs with running times averaging around 10 minutes. The second song to be released from this new record also has a video.

     

    The Regulator

     

    The Longing

     

    Also, Steve Wynn of The Dream Syndicate has jumped into the live stream from home movement. His was done over Facebook Live this afternoon around 4pm EST. Lots of skipping & audio cutting out. He attempted to do Dylan’s new song. He’s going to look into fixing it for the foreseeable future. Here’s a link to an older live stream from Italy: https://m.facebook.c...142135415829729

    If you like his FB page, you should be able to see notifications.

  9. ^ I saw this posted over the weekend and came here to post this, but you beat me to it. Another thing to add to my ever growing watch list.

     

    I bought the bootleg Rattle & Hum “Outtakes” on VHS years ago at a record convention and had a few issues with the playback. I think I found out some of the songs had no audio. I don’t have a VCR anymore, so I’ll do some digging on YouTube to watch them. I know that they’re available on some bit torrent sites.

     

    Also, U2 released a live concert which you can only stream from their official website if you’re a fan club member. But it’s been making the rounds on YouTube. Just do a search for U2 Live In Berlin 2018. Running time should be close to 2.5 hours. Fan club members should expect a DVD of the concert around May. It’s safe to say that the Anton Corbijn directed Joshua Tree 30th Anniversary concert film expected to hit theaters has been delayed due to current events.

  10. Neil Finn has been doing the live streams from home too. Here’s a link which is where you can find the archived recordings: https://www.neilfinn.com/fangradio?fbclid=IwAR29cDI4hgtf5Amhc88hO0gyHds3MT3Q5QGwVuzszOeZeAgFbioExFJu818

  13. Another amazing show that kept me on my toes all night in more ways than one. Loved all of the omissions, additions and shuffling. Tough to pick a favorite night. Glad I went to both (as I have in the past) and maybe this will convince more to take a risk to see more than one show in the same place.

     

    That setlist is what I have as well. I counted 23 nothings.

     

    Loved Jeff’s banter about the giant glass of light beer. “It’s a bit of an oxymoron. Right?” And he called out three guys in front who were texting.

     

    Surprised the most about getting On & On & On. Perfect!

    Someone To Lose was also a nice surprise addition. Glad they could drop If I Ever Was A Child for at least one night and replace it with another Schmilco song. The whole section from Via Chicago through On & On & On was incredible. Obviously very different than last night. Not For The Season was killer! Stunned to not get at least one of HTFL & BBN, but that’s ok. I also expected Company In My Back instead of IATTBYH, as they’ve done on past shows on this tour, but it really works so well as the 3rd song of the night. All of the changes made for a very unique setlist on this tour. Oh, and At Least That’s What You Said was also phenomenal.

     

    Tonight the band never took a break. Jeff almost did the same speech as night 1 about “let’s pretend we left and came back.” Show was over right around 10:30ish.

     

    I think Jeff was playing an electric guitar on The Late Greats which I’ve never heard or seen before.

     

    On a final note, I did get to see the printed setlist which was exactly the same set that we got. It had California Stars as the start of the encore, fwiw.

     

    9 new songs tonight. 11 songs that were unique to the first night.

  14. Killer encore

    That was a fucking killer old school encore! So amazing! I always expect the amazing, but the show is so well paced & fresh.

     

    Can’t wait for night 2. Staying in Boston over night 10 minutes from the venue. Came back in time to catch 4th quarter of Patriots’ game @ 11pm.

     

    Edit: Everyone stood the whole night right from the moment that they came out. And I could tell. I was in the last row in box seats. Had 2 people to the right of me.
