Thought I saw that Saturday had, but I could be wrong. And I don't think Friday was, last I checked.

Just saw the tweet that recently went out. Psyched to see Jamie Lidell got added. I don't think that was part of the original announcement, was it? And I guess no Jeff (and friends) solo or Sonic Youth. Boo. I'm as much of a Levon fan as anybody, but I can see people leaving early on Sunday, especially if they've got a long drive home. Jeff and friends to close it out would retain more people, I think. Oh, and cool that Syl Johnson and the Sweet Divines are going to be opening for Wilco on Saturday. One of the best shows I saw last year, though it'll be interesting to see how it translates

I figured it was a long shot, but I had to try. Nice fridge, though! One of these days, I guess (he said, shaking his fist...)

Hadn't seen this posted anywhere yet, so figured I'd at least throw the link on here. I'm looking forward to seeing this whole show from Jan. 29, 2010 (or almost all of it anyway), the good and the bad. Seems like it was much longer ago, for some reason... From American Songwriter edit: Apparently the Red Hot Chili Peppers' somewhat-maligned version of "A Man Needs A Maid" (with their new guitarist Josh Klinghoffer) and Emmylou Harris, Lucinda Williams and Patty Griffin's performance of "Comes A Time" are among the songs not included.

So are you in, T? I'm there if you are!

You could go to the Vic box office and buy tickets without any service charges. That's what I did. I suppose that could be a problem if you don't live in Chicago, but if it's a question of saving 10 or 20 bucks, then at least it's an option.

You gonna be there bright and early tomorrow, Lou? As in 8 a.m.?

I'm also good at holding laundry, particularly out on the street after a show.

Thanks a lot...appreciate it.

Thanks for taking the time to read them!

Someone else has probably done this already, but a quick Google search reveals that the mayor of Cedar Rapids is a guy named Ron Corbett and he apparently has five kids--four boys and a girl, judging by their names. The oldest is 17 and that's one of the boys, so it seems that the girl who disrupted the show tonight wasn't telling the truth about being the mayor's daughter (big surprise).

I got your setlist right here...

I was totally going to say "Invisible Touch," but I didn't because technically that's Genesis! Oh well, glad you figured it out. And the new song does have quite a catchy melody to it. I think both of your houseguests were humming it this (well, yesterday) morning... Safe drive to Iowa City!

When I kiss your lips, ooh I start to SHIVER Can't control the QUIV-ER-ING inside... Buster! (Sorry.)

You don't have to credit me specifically or by name, but you could say you pulled it from viachicago.org or whatever sources you're aggregating from. The point is attribution should always be made when you're taking info from another source. Journalism 101. I'm not always the person who happens to post a setlist—mdpoet did it just the other night—so I don't know what others prefer in terms of how they want to be credited. But I would think that if you at least said you obtained "x" info from this forum (or wherever you got it from), that would be a step in the right direction.

They were spotted! Always great to see those guys.

I got your setlist right here (Something new I'm trying...)

I wasn't really aware of your site, or whatever, until you linked to it. I'm sure it's valuable to some people as a sort of aggregating tool. I did notice that you don't really credit the source from which you're pulling the setlists you post, though. Since I'm the source of some of that information, I guess I have a more vested interest than most. And I don't really care all that much; I've always posted setlists, etc., just for the benefit of any members of this community who I think might be interested in that stuff. The journalist in me, though, does feel a twinge of indignation over th

Excellent work, Mrs. Poet! (Or is it Mr. Poet?)

Wow, glad I can apparently provide a service to the "Wilco Examiner." Ummm... And sorry I can't help with the setlist for Portland since I wasn't there. Assuming this refers to me, yeah, couldn't get up to Maine this time because of another, um, engagement. Have we met? (Sorry in advance if I don't remember; I also have a hard time keeping track of some people's VC handles.)

What started out as a fairly sleepy show — Jeff looked like he conceivably could have woken up from a nap not long before he went on stage — turned into a fairly lively one once Jeff and the crowd got going. Four songs in, Jeff related a little Justin Bieber anecdote about how he and his family had recently gone to see the "Never Say Never" movie and both his boys, who have actually had Bieber-like hair since birth, started to realize that girls might have thought it was a more recent development and suddenly got all self-conscious. A couple songs later, he related that he had just missed

I heard that at least one Wilco song came on the stereo while Jeff was there, which seems to me like it would be a little awkward. Then again, it must happen to Jeff a decent amount these days, given the life of that "Heard while you're out and about thread." I should say I went by the shop today and tried a couple of sandwiches (Casino Queen and Shake It Off, I think). They were both really good! Also talked to the owner a little bit. I think he should post more on here instead of lurking!

Wow, all I can say is: Glad you enjoy reading my inane comments and things. I honestly don't put too much thought into it, but just try to mention a few things that I'd want to know if I wasn't at a show. So I'm glad the info is of use to a few people! Hopefully this thread quietly slips off the first page relatively soon 'cause it's sort of embarrassing. But thanks very much for the kind words!

Yep, that's exactly what it looked like. And I do remember seeing a 'National' stamp on it.
