I'd say you want to go with Rejoicing In Hands, Cripple Crow is good as well for a look at the many styles he plays.

Damn hope if this proves to be false, would prefer to see them on their own or at least at a festival where they'd get a full set. ETA: I wouldn't mind though if this is part of the "Don't Look Back" series

I wasn't crazy about the first record but this just seems like a rehash, as someone else said it is a little more refined but I don't know if thats for the better.

Oh I'm aware of etree, thanks though A-man. I ended up getting the road trips from MSG 1990. Started on disc 2, I'm liking what I'm hearing. Only think i don't dig is Vince. There were never any shows were Hornsby played keys unaccompanied right?

You can't deny the Nassau gig, which is why I already have it hehehehe. Thanks for the tips, I'll have to search those out being as though I no longer have a hook up on soundboards. Our any of the Dick's Picks from this period worth grabbing?

From Pitchfork: Earlier this week, Wilco announced a monster international tour that'll keep them good and busy up through May. But even with all those travel plans ahead of him, frontman Jeff Tweedy has another big project in the works. Billboard reports (via TwentyFourBit) that Tweedy is currently working on an album with Chicago soul/gospel deity Mavis Staples. According to Billboard, Tweedy and Staples are working together at Wilco's Chicago studio, the Wilco Loft. And they've recruited a couple of other high-wattage singers to join the sessions: Nora O'Connor and Kelly Hogan, who have w

So I got to come clean, I'm not big on late eighties early nineties dead. BUT this guy I'm working with is and he just got a portable music player which I told him I would add some shows too. I was wondering if you guys have any recommendations, any of the dicks picks?.

Yup and there have been many more hell there is even a two disc set called "Someone Else's Songs" that is just wilco/tweedy covering other artists.

you'll be in further in no time.

Oh hell yeah the second leg had some great moments. But these fall shows have are more on point through out. I really think by this time next year it will be like they never left. Have you herd the Albany shows yet? I just finished night two and wow! Cinci night one was great as well. I got to catch night two in philly which had many peeks and valleys but the opening Kill Devil Falls followed by 46 Days had shook the place done.

i think you misunderstood me, I agree its not supposed to sound the same. Thats why in my mind Phil's lineups were always best. I think that what their going for with John is trying to emulate what no longer exists. i'm all about hearing these songs still but I don't want to hear Jerry's tone, I don't want to hear his style because it makes that missing ingredient even more apparent. NO ONE can do what HE did, thats what made him who he was. Hell Sless and Kimock share similarities with Jerry but are unique enough that their playing emulate jerry ALL the time, which is precisely w

Anyone keeping up with the fall tour? If not you've missed out, way better then the summer.

See I have always thought Phil's bands have had plenty of direction, even better then the cambell/greene lineup was the one before with cambell,sless,molo, barraco, osbrone and osby. I think Phil was a major part of leading the deads sound and jams, much mores o then bob ever did. I actually love phil's singing. He may not be good but he puts his heart into it and you can hear it, especially on Terripan or Franklin's. The real problem is your never going to get that old sound back and thats what makes this boring to me. The Grateful Dead are long gone, if you want to hear that sound

I guarantee you there will be cheap seats for this available as we get closer. Also in the past I have never had a problem with Auditorium Theater staff letting me stand in the back on the floor by the bar or at the back of the first balcony. Last time I saw wilco there their was no problem sneaking down to a good seat once the show was underway. Not to mention it will be a mad house in there with all the heads and security won't know what to do a'la Phil at the Chicago Theater a few years back.

Wrote A Song For Everyone was without a doubt the highlight. Really blew me away, I wonder if current events might have spurred mister Tweedy's busting this out.

Where does this info come from though? Is just speculation? Seems believable although I don't get who the fuck picked these guys. I think everyone of us could have picked a better band in a 10 seconds. As for Wasserman, the guy is a beast on the bass and like you said actually helped make Ratdog more then a dead cover band. I'd be soooooooooooooo down for some weir/wasserman acoustic dates. Hell I'm down for anything these guys wanna do as long as they bring something new to the table. While Phil and Freinds was mostly a dead cover band at least Phil was constantly coming up with

I don't know who your source is but I heard Sansone is pulling Doug Yule. The new wilco album is going to be called "Sqaushed" I CAN'T WAIT!

Man I hope not. I can't believe Phil signed on for this shit. From what I've herd Bobby is taking the reigns with this band. I know its wishful thinking but I wish Phil would do more experimental music, like the one off show with Molitz/Molo and that trumpet player whose name is coming up blank. As for Jamica, I mean I get the attraction I've just never thought about traveling to a Ratdog show, let alone dropping a few grand.

I can't believe people would fly to Jamica for Ratdog. I've seen them six or so times and have to debate weather to see them when they play a few blocks from my house. They are SOOOOOOOOOO inconsistent. The last time I saw them they laid down one of the bests sets I've seen any grateful dead offshoot play, set two though was one of the worst. Anyone listened to any of these Furthur shows? I haven't been to excited due to fake Jerry and Jay Lanes presence.

Or maybe Jeff has just been overly generous, which has in effect put him in a tough spot. Thanks again Jeff, wonderful performance.

This was a great set. I wasn't sure how I'd feel about hearing the technical skill of the flecktones followed by some rough rock and roll but it was great. Best Dr. Dog show I've seen.

They actually are headlining. Bela Fleck plays till 10 and then Dr. Dog goes on and they've got a full set. There were tickets on Groupon.com two days ago for 15 bucks.

you do realize they're playing chicago saturday right?

Thanks for coming here to rub it our faces.

Anyone tuned in?
