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.

Nice! Love "The Who Sell Out" record.

Yeah, definitely count me among those hoping for another night in Chicago since I've already got a commitment I don't want to break on the 17th!. D'oh! Though I'm not sure how likely it is this time. The XRT bulletin I got this week mentioned one night only (which I know can be a promotional trick sometimes, but anyway) so who knows? And I hadn't realized it had been such a long drought in MN, so the 18th seems like a likely bet if that's when the Rock the Garden thing is. At any rate, if I have to miss one Chicago show, I guess the Aud is as good a place to do it as any. I mean, it's a n

Hey Jen! Yeah, I plan to be there, so hopefully we'll get to say hi. And so cool about Neko and Mavis (although sad about Billy Bragg's mum)! Definitely wish I could make that one. That would be a great show to see! Probably a good idea. You are TOO funny, sir!

Indeed.

You did a pretty good job, so kudos to you. (And nice to meet you as well. Tell your girlfriend that's a nice covert picture, too!) With no repeats in Boulder in January and these past two nights in Toronto, I keep thinking that whenever Jeff plays two nights in a city now, people are going to be disappointed if he does repeat a song. Not that I'm complaining, by any means, but he's definitely set a bar for himself. Nice to hear Feist with just Jeff accompanying her on acoustic guitar. I know some people aren't huge fans of that song, but you could really hear her sing tonight. Sometimes

I think keylime is referring to the guy in the third row who kept telling Jeff to "turn it up to 11." At which Jeff, of course, turns around, looks at his setup, points to it and says something like, "Do you see what I've got here? There's nothing...to turn up to 11." So the guy says something like, "OK, 10 and a half, then." But he just kept saying stuff like that. It was sort of annoying. Nothing worse than saying something that Jeff (or any performer, for that matter) responds to and then not letting it go. He also kept saying something like, "Sing it harder, Jeff." Or something dumb like

Not to reply to my own post, but just a couple of tidbits/thoughts from the show... *Jeff came out pretty promptly at 9 p.m. and played until about 10:35. Thought we might get one more new song, but maybe he'll do a different one tomorrow night. I was just as glad to get a second listen to the one I'm calling "Open Up Your Mind." It's definitely got some interesting, very poetically crafted lyrics, and a folky feel to it. *Apparently Jeff paid a visit to the Sky Blue Sky Sandwich Company here in Toronto earlier in the day, and the visit prompted some of his best banter of the night (which

Thanks for the report, Señor ckc! Glad you got to make it to this set, and hope you're recovering from the week. Cool that you got to say hello to Jody as well. He's a very nice man. When I first had a chance to go say hello to him, I was too sheepish. Luckily I got to rectify that at a later date. It'd be interesting to know what Who song John sang. I'm also sort of curious about the cover of "Boy In The Bubble." I don't know if I'm going to be able to make it to the gig at Double Door, but I'll definitely pick up the EP at some point.

:crybaby

Not 100 percent sure about the time, though if show time is listed as 8 p.m., I would guess Wilco would probably take the stage sometime around 9. And I believe that Smith Westerns are opening.

Regulators...mount up! RIP Nate.

The gig at the Hideout with Devin (and Frank Rosaly and Dave Rempis) should be very cool; I'll be at that one. And if I'm not mistaken, the Deerhoof thing is a Deerhoof and friends show in which Nels will be playing as part of the band for If By Yes, which is the project of Petra Haden and Nels' wife Yuka Honda. So that technically won't be a Nels show. But it's still cool nonetheless, and you figure he'll join Deerhoof on stage at some point. The new listing that catches my eye is the April Fool's Day show at the Stone with Nels and Vinny Golia, two improv masters who have known each oth

I will pretty much guarantee right now that Levon's set closes with The Weight. But he's got a couple of relatively recent solo records, so they usually do stuff off of those as well as some traditionals and a couple of Band songs (Cripple Creek, etc.) I'd say a bigger question is how much Levon will actually sing. I'd like to see more of that, but I guess it depends on how his voice is doing. His band, led by Larry Campbell, is very good.

But Waukegan is far! No, you really feel like you're never gonna get there...
