Oh, I thought it was 'You're dreamy..." but either way, it was hilarious. I haven't heard any leaks of the record or anything, but Zooey's voice is quite charming and surprisingly powerful live. In terms of the original stuff, it sounded pretty good but I'd need a few more listens to evaluate the songwriting. It did seem like the whole "She and Him" project was very much a showcase for her, though, with Matt there in more of a supporting/confidence boosting role. They played about 40-45 minutes in all, including a brief two-song encore. P.S. Great to see you, Maud!

He just used it for "Someday Soon," actually.

Better late than never...

i don't know anything about the warner (venue), but i agree that the warner (taper) is classy. and apropos of nothing, i was thinking that whoever got hit by nels' slide last night ought to get a signed pick or something. i remember reading a couple recent articles about fans getting hit by golf balls driven by tiger woods and how he went over to them apologized and signed a glove for them. who knew that going to wilco shows could be hazardous?

uh, that wasn't played. not saying you are wrong, wendy, but whoever did the setlist you copied made a boo-boo. they probably meant "it's just that simple."

Nope, except for the one residency show, they've just been doing the standard rockin' Outtasite (Outta Mind). Not to be confused with Outta Mind (Outta Sight). For me, one of the funniest parts of last night's show for me (other than the bra incident) was when they went into Outtasite after Monday, which apparently wasn't planned. Anyway, the Total Pros didn't know what was going on and once they realized they didn't know or have a part in the song, they all sort of slunk away off stage. Jeff later apologized for surprising them with that one.

Oh, boy were there tapers. You don't even know. But I think there were enough just "regular" tapers that a recording will get out sooner than later. I was practically tripping over stands at the back by the soundboard. And as for John Doe, I thought he was really, really good. The "The New World" flowing into the Beatles' "Revolution" was very cool and the stuff off his latest solo album "A Year in the Wilderness" sounded great live. The woman singing with him (I guess sort of in the Exene role), Cindy Wasserman, seems like one of the nicest people ever. You should definitely get there early

Yeah, it's nowhere near as cold as it was in Chicago. We didn't get there too too early. Sorry that you couldn't be there, Greg. We got a Jesse Hamm sighting, though.

Sorry Greg, wanted to get the topic up but the complete set is there now in my original post.

A taste of the residency shows for those who couldn't be there. And it was filmed by the Burn to Shine crew for a potential DVD... The complete setlist was as follows: (Was I) In Your Dreams (w/Total Pros horn section) Blood of the Lamb (w/clarinet only) You Are My Face Pot Kettle Black A Shot in the Arm Side With The Seeds Pieholden Suite (w/Total Pros; Nels on banjo and tambourine) Impossible Germany Sky Blue Sky Handshake Drugs Too Far Apart Summer Teeth Jesus, etc. Walken (w/TPs) I'm The Man Who Loves You (w/TPs) Hummingbird A Magazine Called Sunset Red-Eyed and Blue> I Got You (At

I really don't think you want to show up to the venue on Feb. 29. The show's been rescheduled for Aug. 7! Check the Just A Fan forum.

Hopefully I wasn't too foolish looking.

I think they're probably optimistic that they can get to everything, then the clock starts ticking and adjustments have to be made. (I don't know for sure, but I think it gets fairly expensive when a band goes too far over curfew, so that has to be adhered to pretty closely.) BTW, remember when they used to have those setlists that had what I dubbed "the bonus box" on them? Basically a list of songs at the side that they could choose to substitute in or not depending on time/the crowd/etc. I guess they don't need that now since, technically, they know everything in the catalog.

Here ya go, buddy: Remember the Mountain Bed California Stars Company In My Back Pot Kettle Black A Shot in the Arm Radio Cure You Are My Face Side With The Seeds Pick Up The Change Hotel Arizona I'm Always in Love Impossible Germany Jesus, etc. Misunderstood Airline To Heaven Theologians Walken I'm The Man Who Loves You On and On and On ---------------------- Hate It Here Heavy Metal Drummer Red-Eyed and Blue> I Got You (At The End of the Century) Monday> Outtasite (Outta Mind) Funniest part of the show, easily, was when they came back on for the encore and launched into Hate It H

Congrats, Eric! He's a handsome guy. Hope everyone's doing well...

If this is true, and it makes sense that it is, then that does suck for you Charlestonians. But at least they've already got a rescheduled date up. I know Spoon had to cancel a couple shows when they were offered SNL, so it's probably something that happens fairly frequently. Can't really pass up an opportunity to be on national TV on a highly visible show...

I wouldn't do that.

Hey Charles...I just wanted to say fabulous work, as always. It always puts a smile on my face when I see one of your pictures up on Wilcoworld, because I know the work you put into shooting each show and what a big fan you are. I think it's great the band has found a way to use so much of the fantastic talents of its fanbase lately, like your photos and Johnny's posters. I'll see you again, sooner rather than later I hope. I look forward to seeing your shots from this past week when you get them processed!

I'm extremely, extremely bummed to not be able to go these, but unfortunately it just can't be helped. I'm developing a very poor track record when it comes to Glenn's NYC appearances. First, the Mike Patton/Rahzel gigs at Warsaw, then opening for Andrew Bird at Radio City last year. Anyone who can go to these gigs, though, should. I bet they will be quite awesome.

I have no insight about when stuff taped at the Residency would air, or in what format. As far as I know, we're still waiting for (or perhaps cringing at the thought of) that footage from last summer's show at the Pines Theater in Northampton to show up. That was supposedly shot for some VH1-related thing as well, wasn't it?

FYI: Becca's last name is Michalak, I believe. I know she's done a few shows with Nels in LA and Denver in the past. And I can't really add anything to what's already been said here, but thanks for all of your contributions the past week and for heading out East next week.

maybe the best discovery, aside from tasty $3 mystery brews, was that a certain vc moderator (cough...maudie...cough) is a guitar hero prodigy!

aww, that was sweet of Basia. you've been doing a great job with the virtual street team, T. too bad that i didn't get to Chicago just a few days earlier to catch her show here. would have been great to see her do that Sam Cooke song.

I know TJ had a pretty serious health scare recently. Glad to hear that he's doing better!
