I too saw Evan on the fall tour. He had hurt his back sometime prior to the show I saw so explained the beers he was drinking were for pain. It didn't hurt his playing one bit and added some levity to a really great show. Sad news.

Edit:

I'd pay the most to see Jeff solo in an very intimate setting. In the hundred$. Multiple hundred$$$$$.

I didn't know this until about five minutes ago. I like it. A lot.

Can't wait.

Thanks for Moorestown Solace. I really like it. I believe "Ghosts..." to be one of those perfect albums that comes around all too rarely these days. I will gladly except something half as good in "April" but hope for much more.

Since when does JT wear a tie? I've never been so disappointed.

Poughkeepsie 2004. Dark suit. Dark shirt. Maroon(?) tie. Hummingbird dance. Great show. I saw Maudie there.

Anybody else see Sweeney Todd today? WOW. So much fun, and such a gorgeous production. The photography and production design were truly spectacular, and the music was integrated almost seamlessly with the onscreen action.

Thanks for the heads up Mr. Maker. I saw Sweeney Todd today and loved it. Most definitely near the top of my list.

Love it. A good hard read by a great writer.

Edit: Challenging is much more appropriate than "hard".

I guess you hated Superbad too...

 

I'm going to see Walk Hard tonight (another Judd Apatow movie) and I can't wait.

Didn't see Superbad but Walk Hard is a definite as is Juno. Just didn't care for Knocked Up. At all.

In Order:

No Country For Old Men

Gone Baby Gone

300

Eastern Promises

The Bourne Ultimatum

Waitress

Simpson's Movie

3:10 To Yuma

Grindhouse

Ratatouille

Most overated piece of crap: Knocked Up

As for Toad's Place, surprisingly, Wilco has only played there once, back in 2000.

"An Evening With Wilco". Damn good show that turned me into the fan I am today.

One of my all-time favorite shows. Also the last time I saw them with Jay.

I just talked to the Shubert Box Office. Wilco set a record for a sellout for an "adult" show but were trounced by The Wiggles by 30 minutes for the all-time record.

I got the "no tickets available" but I kept on trying and it gave me a single for New Haven. Pretty decent seat but I'm going for two on ticket day, Dec.15.

Expecting To Fly ~ Neil Young

I've Been Riding With the Ghost ~ Songs:Ohia

It Ain't Me Babe ~ Bob Dylan

Simple Twist Of Fate ~ Jeff Tweedy

Across The Universe ~ The Beatles

The only chance encounter I've had thus far is still "Pick Up the Change" playing in J.C. Penney. It was sweet.

I too have heard them in a JC Penney (in Connecticut). I believe it was something from Being There.

Thanks so much for the post with the pictures. It looks like a pretty cool setup and what a great setlist. I had seventh row off to stage left but I switched to row fourteen much closer to center stage. December 7 seems worlds away. I can't f*****g wait!

Very cool DrNo. What are the odds of the encounter never mind the great picture.

Happy Birthday, dude. Here's a picture of you and me from our last kegger.

Details please DrNo.

PS ~

Inside "The Pocahontas". Happy Birthday Neil.

Just got Marah tickets for the Iron Horse in Northampton Ma. on January 20th. $12.50 plus $3.00 fee. Great live band, great venue.

yup, and I also read that on some nights his wife and her keyboardist, Anthony Crawford might be joining them on some songs.

Anthony Crawford has history with Neil playing/singing on Old Ways, Prairie Wind and Everybody's Rockin while joining Neil for those tours albeit they were short ones. Sounds like it's going to be a fun show.

The Queen Of Bedlam. Fictional murder mystery in NYC, 1702. Very good.

This just showcases the rising popularity of not only Wilco but Glenn Kotche

 

Kronos Quartet is probably one of the most well known quartets, their lineup has changed tons of time but it's always been a spectacular quartet.

The soundtrack Kronos Quartet did for "Requiem For A Dream" added so much to a paralyzingly intense film.

Glenn of course is one of the best. I always look forward to watching him play. It doesn't surprise when he collects accolades such as playing with other fine musicians.

I'm not really a big Tom Waits fan but when I saw he was playing The Bridge School with Kronos I came very close to a plane ride.

...with the # 1 album in the country.

i still find that hard to believe.

Would you prefer "Blackout" by the estimable Ms. Spears?

Thanks for posting... I would have forgotten completely. These guys have to be one of the most underrated bands around... no hyperbole intended.

 

edit: - these guys SHOULD open for Wilco.

The first time I ever heard of Marah was when I saw them open for Steve Earle. I predicted major success. "Let's Cut The Crap & Hook Up Later on Tonight" is still one of my favorite first albums.
