    I usually would not have recorded from so close, but that night I wanted to be in the action (9:30 pit!). I was about 3 people behind you.

    Besides the normal whoo-hoo's and random song requests - the crowd was not bad.

     

    Ah, I see. Well, I certainly wasn't doing any whoo-hooing (except during I'm The Man :lol ) or making random song requests, so I think I should be safe. A repeat performance this year?

    Mr Bop, go search youtube for 'Andre Ethier O Canada'. Andre the Deadly Snake sang the national anthem as Andre the outfielder looked on from the dugout.

     

    The ol' YouTube isn't fully functioning for me right now, T, but I think I get the picture. Hilarious! I also love how most of the comments are about the relative hotness of both the singer and outfielder. Double hilarious!

    What was this about?

     

    They and their families apparently were vacationing on the same isolated beach in Mexico a couple of years back, two cabins away from each other. And at least according to Jeff, the person staying in the cabin between them was an Uncle Tupelo fan...ha! :pirate

    Has anybody ever told Craig that he looks like Clint Howard?

     

    I'm sure he would be quite insulted. :lol He does have a way with the ladies. (Mart, you think Craig would be amused to learn he's being discussed on the Wilco message board?)

     

    P.S. The last couple of times I've seen Mart, he's done great renditions of Jesus, etc. and Misunderstood.

    There's also a song co-written with the lovely Rennie Sparks, that I can't remember the name of right now (and, in truth, is probably the poorest track on the album).

     

    It's All The Same To Me, which is a terrific song (although maybe the album version suffers a little bit from the production).

    Damn, I've just been catching up. What a shocker. I've been hearing way too much about people passing away lately, and this is saddest news yet...:no

     

    I had the pleasure of meeting and hanging out with Nat a few times, I think most recently at Jeff's solo show in Portland in early 2006 (on the tour for the Sunken Treasure DVD). We were standing next to each other at the front of the stage and I remember chatting with her before the show started and thinking, 'Wow, this is the first time I've really had a chance to talk to her. She's very cool.' I also have a distinct memory of her hanging outside the San Jose Center for the Performing Arts after the Wilco show there in November 2004, waiting to give each band his personal tinfoil sculpture.

     

    Condolences to you guys who were especially tight with her. And special thanks to all you archive diggers for finding some memories. They reminded me about some of the early days of this place, and how Nat was a really big part of it. RIP. We'll miss you.

    Wilco in New York City

    Is there a reason why wilco avoids new york city like the plague?

     

    theyre going to new haven for crying out loud.

     

    or am i wrong and is an nyc gig in the books...

     

    could be worse-you could be in philly. not that i have any great love for philly, but I believe the show there next month will be the band's first in those parts in almost three years.

     

    the band itself doesn't have much to do with where specifically they're going to play, anyway. i mean, if they wanted to line up a new york gig (or anywhere else), they could obviously, but i believe that the intent of the february run is to mostly hit some places they haven't yet behind sky blue sky.
