Wow. Just wow. Thanks for the post and I'm truly jealous, in the best way possible.

This show goes down in the books for the loudest and most energetic Wilco show I’ve ever experienced to date. Sadly, not the night to forget my trusty earplugs in my hotel room and yet I did. While we’re all anxiously waiting on Paul’s tease of ‘more to come’, I’ll add my notables: *Sometime during the Mon>Outtasite>Wheel trilogy, it was so hot and on fire Mikael did things I’ve never seen. He looked right at the audience and had a moment straight out of a KISS show— tongue all the way out, shaking his head and smiling and then tossed his pillow so far up in the air, I wasn’t sur

Here she is, like a beam of light from music heaven. Get excited— very excited— next time you see her on the stand.

@TCPMy understanding is that Venus wasn't put on YHF or played live because Jeff felt like the song was too personal and identified people from his past in a way that he didn't feel comfortable about. It's a haunting song that's just about as perfect as it gets-- in music, in art, in life. I guess we're the benefactors of time, in this circumstance. Perhaps, my favorite post on Starship Casual to date: https://jefftweedy.substack.com/p/venus-stopped-the-train-solo-acoustic?utm_source=publication-search

Thank you, bbop. I am very thankful for your unwavering After the Show write-ups and wanted to express my gratitude again. Being able to see the thru lines from many shows, makes the 'whole package' Wilco show experience that much better each time-- so I tip my hat and do a little hand-roll bow to you, my friend. Here are some little things to add: *After Jeff's playful dis to the balcony sitter-downers, Jeff told Glenn that's where he'd be and Glenn said, "Me, too!" They had a sweet little bro-mance moment there. *Agree on the vast space between the stage and the rail,

These last two nights have been extraordinary shows and easily in my top 10 or even top 5 most mind blowing Wilco shows. I strongly recommend if you’re reading this and not currently in Austin, to get your ass to Tulsa or Minneapolis-whatever it takes to make that happen in your life. Highlights for me were definitely Remember the Mountain Bed and Venus Stopped the Train as both songs evoke the feeling of first falling in love, deep inside each time I hear them live. I’ve only heard RTMB once before— at The Edgefield in Portland, many years ago— and I’ve been chasing that high ever s

What??!! You think you're just writing for one person here in this forum? Pssshaw. At this point, you're the wilco-historian and write as part of the hive mind. YOU CANNOT ESCAPE. ha

Love those shows where Kidsmoke is 2nd or 3rd as it makes for some kickass energy thru the whole show. I'm on pins and needles waiting to read what you write about last night's show..........lay it on us, Paul.

Hey Paul, When you do get a chance for a more thorough review of this show, can you post whatever you remember about who got the "Best Behaved" award. I'm trying to keep track over in A Shot in the Arm and I'm missing this intel. TY!

I loved this venue for several reasons: a.) the unusual architecture made for beautiful acoustics and sound quality, b.)fairly certain this will be the smallest venue I manage to see them perform in during my lifetime, c.)the smaller stage forced the guitar wranglers/sound engineers into viewable space and made them a visible part of the stage show. Made me truly appreciate the musical gifts they must possess to be able to tune an incredible # of instruments into different keys or alternate tunings, under time pressure, with loud music blasting all around you. No way I could ever do this.
