Most Best Buys I have been to might have a whole aisle dedicated to cd storage binders...they should use that space for vinyl instead...I guess 8 Sq Ft is better than nothing...

8 sq ft worth of space?

Someone gave him the middle finger and I remember him sticking it back facing down and said "Would you like me to turn it up, sir!"

It's French..I believe that is the issue? Remember Freedom Fries?

I remember cnbc once showed Dick Cheney in Wisconsin eating ice cream for 10 minutes I believe it was around when they were running for a second term. Dick Cheney also gave some little kid the stink eye...

It is funny how people remember the shows differently. Out of the 10 shows I have seen that was my least favorite. The horns were cool though. I just remember not enjoying the setlist (Besides Forget the Flowers), it was also hot in there, oversold and the sound wasn't good as I was standing on the far side (Short show too only 20 songs!) . I did have a good time talgating in the lot though....I remember I met up with Deafro (Ronan) he hasn't been on Viachicago in years but it was a good time...Anyway thanks for the pics...

Thanks for the heads up!

Setlist and guest below! Pan flute solo

Thanks for the link...that was interesting.

I was reading the paper today and it said it was Kurt Loder of MTV's birthday...It blew my mind when he said he is turning 64!!!!! I miss those days of MTV when he was on. Memories...

Well said!

The timing is starnge but before everyone goes bad mouthing Jay I think it needs to be stated Wilco would not be who they were without Jay. That being said it would have been nice not to file a lawsuit and instead ask for a benefit concert but oh well.. If he was getting screwed he definatley should have brought this up years ago but I have no idea what the details and deals that were going on between Jay and Jeff.

Pretty cool!

I was impressed with Havens guitar playing and I did like Guys voice...very soulful. I was really excited about MCGwinn as I love the way he plays guitar! Arlo was not my thing but still was glad I saw him. What did you used to do for them?

Hope you have a great day! Happy Birthday!

I must admit it I did feel very out of place at this show. Most of the artist that got the biggest reception (Baez, Havens) were artist before my time but I still sppreciated the magnitude and huge variety of artist. Some included: Arlo Gutherie Billy Bragg Joan Baez Richie Havens Rambling Jack Elliott Roger MCGwinn (With Band of Horses!! They did Turn Turn Turn which was aweosme!) Tom Morrell Toshi Rogan Ani DiFranco Ben Harper Dave Matthews John Mellencamp Bruce Springsteen (With Tom Morrello) Dar Williams Bela Fleck Michael Franti Pete and Peggy Seeger Patterson Hood Guy Davis Bruce Cock

Nice..I am sitting behind the stage at Nassau...hoping for an E Street Shuffle or Blinded by the Light!

Umm there is a developing story on cnn.com now about a member of Obama's team who visited Mexico may have the Swine Flu! http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2009/...al-mexico-trip/ Later it says the individual recovered..hmmm the news changes by the second!

He should Play Streets of Philadelphia more..he almost never plays it...Kitty's Back is awesome! I will be at the Seeger Tribute Sunday and Monday show at Nassau! Wee!

Have a good one!

I know how you feel. When was the last time Wilco played Manhattan? They only played Brooklyn and they are playing Brooklyn again recently and now they are playing Upstate NY for a second time in awhile (Counting Jeff's solo show). Now I don't necessary think they lost their roots I just can't figure out why they hate on Mnahattan so much.. Updated...Wilco last played at the Hammerstein which was June 07..it also was only 1 show and that one sold out in about 2 minutes..

Brooklynvegan is just a great music blog. No other connection except the head guy running the webpage is a vegan. Some things to consider when reading the site. It is NY based (YLT is from Hoboken) so people obviously are into their hometown hero's more than Wilco. Also consider 90 percent of the posters are idiots who just like to get people into arguments.

Even if Jay doesn't play with them they should do a AM, Being There, Summerteeth, Yankee Hotel show where they play stuff that Jay contributed to in his honor with the proceeds helping Jay out...
