...to create onea those big hoohah concept bands! Taking the Ramones as your inspiration, you decide that your band will have only the most brilliant musicians, but in order to tie things together, these musicians will have a shared last name! Let's see now....I've got it, I'll call my band The Burns! Now, what would make it even more attention-grabbing would be if they had "themed" first names too! Hmmm. Ok, I've got it! Lead singer: Acid Burns Bass Player : Controlled. Controlled Burns Drummer....well, we want somebody wild and dramatic, a musical monster, so let's just call him "I

I know there are many here. I'm sad to report that while touring with Alejandro Escovedo, Scott has suffered a stroke. He is in stable condition. I know we sneer lately at the "thoughts and prayers" thing, but in this case let's overlook that nonsense and send them anyway. Hundreds and hundreds and hundreds. We need this guy back in tiptop shape! We love you, Scott!!!

That was an AMAZING show. Omigosh. And you guys were the greatest company for it! Please feel free to take all the virtual leftovers you want! See you next live feed....which may be Jeff solo, or maybe Tweedy(the band)!

I can't wait until we get to sing the guitar line!!!

Anybody not singing along now is OUT of the Wilco Fan Club!

I've got encore jello shots for everybody....here, pass these around1 They don't have much bell pepper in them... Damn I LOVE this song!!!

Good observation, Choo Choo Charlie! About the Band that is.

You're excused. I know how that is. Interesting take on ITMWLY! Funky.

Bet you're right, Sarah. Please pass the pickled pigs feet.

Who else is chair dancing? Ok, sure....but who else is chair dancing while holding a sharp knife? I thought not.

Hi Sarah!!! Somebody pass Sarah all the snacks! I'm getting my bell peppers cut up as I listen! That's frowned upon at many concerts.

Jim Elkington is such a doll and such a great musician! Did you all get some of the jello-glazed popcorn? And the beef jerky that I only make for super special virtual events? OOh, these harmonies!!!

Ahhhhhhh I love this old plum.

I'll always think they are playing Via Chicago just for us at VC. Look at the audience moving to Candy Floss! Somebody hand me another beer please.

Yeah, I'd like to see more of Pat too.

What is it about this song? So hypnotic, and I could watch Glenn chair dancing in rhythm all night! It's nice sharing this with you guys!

Nels is looking sharp tonight, and I'm surprised his guitar isn't smoking.

Hi Charlie! Wow, that was powerful.

Table to the right of the cooler. As if I'd forget!

I am so supposed to be chopping up a mess of bell peppers and getting a couple of Christmas orders in.....but c'mon, girl, get your priorities straight! I'm not leaving this chair unless dance fever overtakes me. Swoon, this band....

Yo Drew! Help yourself to a beer! They sound pretty wonderful, don't they? Every time I'm amazed anew! There are spiced nuts there in the silver dish. Good to see you. I was beginning to think I was the only one not actually at the venue! I love how the songs keep evolving and surprising!

Well speak up if you're around...they are sounding great!

That was a lovely opener!

Thanks for posting this! Online listening party commences as soon as the feed begins. Wilco about 8:30 pm. St Paul time. (CST) Chips and dip on the rear table, party hats and blow-outs to the right, drinks in the big steel cooler on the left. Help yourselves. Thanks, Wilco!
