As mentioned elsewhere, the file is probably there for the webcast on the 20th. Check the Wilco website for more info.

Me too. All the way to NYC to play that number? Not much of a showcase for the band, really. I'd be curious to know how the song was chosen. Jeff could have done it himself and saved the band the trouble of showing up.

LOL.

The very same one. I can't remember the story, other than it was hilarious.

I believe he tapes at 4:30 EST so hopefully someone at the show can clue is in ahead of time.

I'm gonna try and do that. Though I have a Target in my 'hood, I doubt they have the deluxe SBS version. I know BB will have it.

Don and Jeff both have an ascerbic kind of wit about themselves. What is the Ron Cey-Don Rickles connection?

Any word on whether there were any tapers? Sounds like an awesome show!!! IG as a show opener - I like it.

Now that I've had lunch, I remember that "Handshake Drugs" was the first song off of AGIB that appeared in regular rotation on KFOG here in the Bay Area. Knowing that, I would actually be surprised if they play "What Light" on the show. If they want to win over the audience, I would suggest "Hate it Here" - simple, direct lyrics, compact song, rocks the house, and ends quietly, so the audience can burst in with loud applause.

Wilco's best since Summerteeth, according to Paste. More praise for Impossible Germany, too! http://www.pastemagazine.com/action/articl...co_sky_blue_sky

Yeah, I guess cuz it's the first single I'm assuming that, but when AGIB came out, I think they played "I'm a Wheel" on Leno and "Hummingbird" on Letterman. Don't know if either of those were officially released as singles. Anyone out there know?

Thanks for posting that gogo. What a great shot of the Band. "Wilco prize packages!!" Sweet.

I have noticed this, too. Not sure what the economics of this is. Since the list price difference between the 2 seems to be $6 ($18.99 vs. $24.99), I would have thought the CD/DVD would be available for something like $17.99. Maybe an econ major out there can explain. Seems like the Wilco Store is undervaluing its product compared to the marketplace.

I will blame Jay Bennett.

Found this while looking for a place to buy the CD/DVD other than Best Buy or Virgin: FREE WILCO SCREENING IN SF! May 16 - Celebrate the release of Wilco

I suppose we'll know as soon as someone who went to the show can post, but what do people think they will play? Wish they would play: Impossible Germany Think they will play: What Light Wildcard: Hate it Here Update: I'm not so sure about What Light anymore. If they want to blow the roof off the dump, they will probably choose something more like Shake it Off or Walken.

This is at least the second review (Rolling Stone being the other) to highlight "Impossible Germany". I reiterate my prediction that this will be the defining song of the album.

Man oh man. I can't wait to get out of work so I can go get this and put it on. God bless Wilco!!!!

This is one of my favorite lines from a review so far: Cline has frequent moments of exquisite guitar work, with elegiac leads of liquid purity and agitated interaction with Tweedy's and/or Sansone's guitar that recall the transcendent architecture of the '70s band Television. Elegaic leads of liquid purity and agitated interaction!!!

This will help you find a bunch of newspaper reviews. Looks like the LA Times has weighed in with 3 1/2 stars along with the Detroit Free Press and Cleveland Plain Dealer reviews. http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&ned=us&q=wilco

Can someone tell me where and when this took place? I hadn't seen it before and it is awesome.

There are elements that are kind of impressionistic, like you said, lyric writing on this record, but in general I think the landscape is pretty clear. To me the one song isn

I have a sneaking suspicion that its LNGCA

For those that may not know, LNGCA was played live during the 9:30 show archived at NPR. That version has a killer drum solo so I would be shocked if it doesn't have it, given the Klotche credit. No sure why they didn't include it on the album - it rocks!

I think Jeff got a flustered trying to think of something witty to say. I'm kind of surprised he didn't explain where they were headed on tour.
