MY song.

I don't think they've ever opened with this before.

c'mon c'mon c'mon!!!

Hi my fellow listeners!

I love when you get to reminiscing, Dan!

No! Let's not even think it, please. Hi Dunja!!!

You guys are going to make me wear out the merge button, and then this board is really gonna be a mess. Merging with the main discussion in 5...4...3...2...1... Editorial comment from kidsmoke: True, it makes no sense when threads like this one are merged, because the board merges each post according to when it was posted in whatever (then unmerged) thread it was posted in. Gives the whole thing a weird, surreal quality. A lot like the Springfield Massacre itself.

I'm glad this has been dealt with straight on. This is what I saw, too. I'm going to merge this with the original thread to keep things simple & uncluttered. As was said, we don't need 3 threads about one topic.

Out having a cigarette.

Sooooooo respectful....... not

This has been discussed to death in the other thread. I'm going to merge the two.

Ah, the wonderful memories! That was so funny.

EMPEROR! WELCOME TO VIA CHICAGO!!! Good to see you. Hi to your brother!

Wow, Wendy, what a story.

We worried the same, a little.......it would've been understandable. But instead we got a passionate, intense rest-of-the-show, with two long encores. We are some well loved, lucky fans of a generous band. Jethro, I was there and there was no "decking".

The name has already been given ("Let's Not Get Carried Away"), but no one has mentioned the pronunciation of this - it's "Lung-Ka" Let's all try it together: "Lung-Ka" Excellent. You guys are smart as whips. Welcome to Via Chicago! Oh, I'm sorry we missed meeting! As you see from the picture Jeff took of Clay, half of me is next to M.Christine. The other half was probably nearby. Your picture of Jeff taking Clay's picture is adorable! I have one too; will post once home. (Still in MO) In the pic Jeff took of Clay, you can see that I'm holding up my camera to take a pic o

Should've said hello! Oh well, next concert. I concur with your memory of events. Pretty funny how Jeff's Kingpin ramble was quoted in the Billboard article, making it sound as if those remarks had some bearing on The Incident. "Confused Reportage R Us" seems to be the order of the day.

Clay, the photos are terrific! I'll put mine up too when I get time. Kalle, you got some very nice shots in London.

Aw, thanks Jen. I just calls 'em as I sees 'em. Red Eyed/I Got You were indescribably mindblowing (sorry, grew up in the 60's ) during the soundcheck, so I'm really sorry we missed getting that. PS dear band, please put "Who Were You Thinking Of" back into rotation.....too good not to. Oh my.

Pretty typical Pitchforking.

You spelled blas

Some serious inaccuracies in that report.....no face-punching occurred. Jeff handled it with real class after the initial freaky get-this-lunatic-off-me natural reaction. It all happened very quickly. Kind of surreal. Jeff just wanted to sing "Airline to Heaven".

Tugmoose, the very very brief story is this: in addition to drunken & aggressive people in the audience, one of whom Jeff had to deal with early in the concert from stage's edge, there were also two separate incidents of audience members walking/jumping onstage in the middle of the band performing songs. (Two different songs!) It was pretty freaky, to say the least, and the second one, a guy, put his hands on Jeff, and Jeff understandably went off on the guy's drunken, fool ass. (no serious damage to anyone) I'd've killed him if it had been me, and I think everyone in the audience felt p

Thanks, Oceanman, and let's just add that, as an audience and their band, we DID make it better. What a triumphant and joyous ending we had, to one of the most bizarre concert experiences I've ever had! Whoa, what a night. Jeff, Wilco, you continue to amaze and inspire. Tonight's concert was beautiful, and you managed to take lunacy.....skeins and skeins of it!....and weave it into music and love. As we all sang in Jesus Etc, "our love is all we have". I must sleep.....Edie, Chris and I have miles to travel in the early a.m. Concert details will doubtless be forthcoming from other

Good for you for not letting that coach bully you into something you weren't ready for! Take it at your own speed, sweetie.
