hey birdjam, i'm in your pic! anychance you can send me a larger copy of the file? not for commercial purposes, of course. i was wondering what the crowd looked like from up there. couldn't tell the size from where we were.

the sound was noteworthy. i even noticed some very clean pat maraccas during one song! cris-py! i love to imagine Nels calling you "super rad." that is fantastic image! and now, for those patient enough to make it this far, The (annotated) Set List: --tv theme intro (what is this? lou grant?) --sunken t--the new arrangement. the build at the end is so uplifting! --you are my face--gorgeous outro! --side with the seeds--"embracing the situation, is our only chance to be free..." --IATTBYH--nels stood over to the side of mike to play along b4 the "dixie cup" section --shake it off

this IS nice. GO WILCO!

first off: !!!!! holy hell, that was a FANTASTIC SHOW! i do believe that i danced out the stuffiness that has been threatening my sinuses since getting drenched last night. oh man, i was all set to post the set list and realized i'd left it in the car. d'oh! i can add a few things to notes to Len's post: this show had serious momentum! a cooker, to be sure. --during hummingbird jeff came out to the front of the stage and brought a girl (+/- 7 yrs old) up onto the stage and sang the song with her. at the break they danced together, jeff twirling her, then taking a bow as t

nice!

i loved loved loved the start of the set. the songs felt strategically selected for the weather. "maybe the sun will shiiiiine today..." hearing impossible in that downpour, with the gorgeous lights on the stage. damn, damn, damn. fucking BEAUTIFUL. my chief complaint about the rain was that it was loud. during some of the quieter tunes (and due to the volume limit) the rain made it difficult to hear the music. not impossible. it also made the crowd less settled than usual. still: danced and danced. jeff introduced pat's family as "clansone" at the end of the night, i

lovely shots, keith! glad you got a good one of everyone. your pix reminded me that the stage lights didn't come on until impossible germany. the sun had gotten low enough to turn them on. the pic of jeff w/ his arm raised as he is looking up is when he is singing "as we all can plainly see..." and the pic of jeff smiling. boy, that was the set right there.

the sun was starting to get low in the sky during the set, too. lovely

i'll be there! got our tix late, so they aren't too close. not sure where they are. if we're there ontime, maybe a preshow bit o' grub is the way to go!

man, i'm used to singing their songs alone. this crowd LOVED ocms! yow! DRINK YOUR CORN LIQUOR, LET THE COCAINE BEEEEEEE!

forgot to mention: glenn was on fire during via. sweet jesus.

last day of the festival, wilco on the main stage, 4:30p FANTASTIC! a post-festival, sleepy reconstruction of some of the set list NOT IN ORDER: -you are my face -side with the seeds -shot in the arm -sb sky -walken -*jeff invites the audience to, "check this shit out": -shake it off -hummingbird -via chicago -handshake drugs -impossible germany -war on war -IATTBYH -ITMWLY -jesus, etc. -spiders --------------------------- -late greats -HM drummer the guys looked to really enjoy their time on stage. lots of smiles all around despite a broken string for jeff and an odd bump in the

chris! just got in this morning at 5am. they moved us to the howard johnson's next to the vista! i'm hitting old crow medicine show at 12:45. i'll pm you with my room number, we can play some phone tag.

seems courtney and i took a turn en route from cincy to bonnaroo and will be at the show tonight! pocohantas, we'll likely see you for food and beer purchased and consumed at a leisurely pace tonight. of note: i am focusing all my "want to hear this song" vibage on "i'm always in love." WHO'S WITH ME?!

woo! ended up with kind of cheesy seats, but cannot wait to hear these songs in the open air!

YES!! thanks, wendy! see you cats tomorrow!

woo! i'm in davenport now. SEE YOU ALL TONIGHT! deepsea! rad! i'm in section A row O. daniel, thanks for all the good food/drink info. i'm down for the beer.

good thinking! i remember the bleachers being off to the side. maybe a bleacher spot for decemberists...run over to see wilco from the ground. hmm. now packing!

there is no way i am missing one note of teh wilco, but i may not insist on trying to get a great spot. festival things being what they are.

excellent idea! that they'll be out here close to a three day weekend is terrific news!

WOO!

i love the mystery art on the t-shirt!

except the VIP section has snacks and bathrooms. WOO! got my pack in the mail today, too. went downtown to make travel plans with my roadtrip pal. THINGS ARE HEATING UP! spoon. fuck yes.

word on the street is that the man knows his way around an omnichord, too.
