this makes me laugh too.

I had to almost get physical with a scalper on night 1. he was obviously drunk and put his hands on me and tried to get in front of me in line. i told him back the fuck off, and he did. the asshole bought 4 standing room tickets for like $180 from the box office. i hope they all got stuck with those tickets. night 2 my fiancé and i waited outside the ryman for most of the day because we'd heard they were releasing extras and managed to get row k from the box office for about $20 less than we paid through ticket master. i wish that wilco would go completely paperless so scalpers would not

I was so tickled to hear in Nashville last week. It was excellent. I played it in a Buffalo Wild Wings on a jukebox once.

I think it is a very good show, but I think season 2 is my favorite so far.

holy crap. wow. the episode last night was great

Nope. I did not do that, but it was definitely moving. Wow.

That's terrible! We only got a night 1 print- decided not to get night 2 simply because it looked TOO similar to night 1. Though, we got out to the Ryman at around 4pm with the specific purpose of waiting for doors just to get the hatch print, because I knew it was gonna be rough. It is ridiculous that we had to do that, but we wanted to be sure we got one. I think the ATL poster was a bit cooler to be honest, although, I bet not as rare/limited When a print is that limited, they SHOULD put a 1 per person cap on it for sure. Totally a dick move for people to stick them up on ebay like th

I must get all of Nick Lowe's records now. After seeing him 3 nights last week. I need them. Wow. I thought he was fatastic.

I loved night 2! We went on a whim, and a tip from Jason about there being extra production tickets, and got row K! It was excellent. We sat outside the Ryman pretty much all afternoon, and talked to a lot of nice people. Made friends with a security guard, and a really nice couple from CT. "Less Than You Think" opener was awesome. Never seen that song done live, and it went into "AOA" perfectly. Got to talk to Nick Lowe for a second too. He was super nice. I want to get everything he's ever recorded now. Jesus of cool is right.

I've just been a really dedicated fan for a long time (since I was 13, I'm 24 now) and gotten the oppertunity to talk with Jeff several times. He's always been super nice to me, and so the dedication was super cool. The 2nd one I've gotten at a Wilco show! Hoping the tape shows up sooner or later. I did see a taper. I loved ATL, mostly cos our seats were so close. If I could mix all three of the shows together, ATL, and both nights at the Ryman (subtracting one really terrible person behind me) it would be the perfect Wilco show.

Wow. I can't describe these Ryman shows. It was incredible. I thought Atlanta was amazing, but the Ryman is great. Just great. Also, Brianne, I wished I would have known you were there! We could have finally met!!! There was sort of a bummer for me during "Rising Red Lung"- we were in the balcony limited view section, couldn't see Glenn or Mikael all night. And Matthew and I had elected to stand before the show started. We even told the people directly behind us that we planned on standing. They were cool with it. There was another guy right beside them who was totally rude from the moment

Wednesday night was a lot of fun. The cowd, I thought, could have been into it a little more, but honestly, I wasn't paying much attention to any of them. The band was really amazing. I was happy with the set list. Matthew and I were getting a lot of eye contact from Jeff the whole night, it was really fun, because I was all smiles rocking out and singing along. It was just a blast to hear the new songs live. So much energy!!! I was shocked when Jeff dedicated "Standing O" to me. Matthew and I made a sign that said "Wilco, will you play Standing O?" and the other side said "Thank you Wilco

"No More Poetry" because the lyrics are fun "Magazine Called Sunset" because it's sweet "Dark Neon" because it makes me dance

that was what i didn't get either. the run time of the side wouldn't change based on the order.... the only think i can think of would be the placement of the actual grooves on the vinyl, that might make a difference.

Tom Waits is great. I got turned on to him thanks to this board. Gonna get this new record for sure.

absolutely. i really think John's bass lines on a lot of the songs make the songs. I feel like SBS was Nel's time to shine, and TWL is John's, so to speak

I'll be there tonight! Got 4th row pit seats on a fluke off ticketmaster. Couldn't pass them up. Can not wait!! If anybody wants to say hey, my fiancé and I will be hanging around the venue all afternoon to try to talk to the band I think... my fiancé is wearing a green plaid shirt and i've got a green sweater on. Looking forward to the show. Haven't seen the band since last year's show at the Fox.

it through me off, but i sort of like the vinyl order better.

this song is awesome. Can't wait to see it live on Wednesday.

Anybody else notice that the track listing on the vinyl is different than on the CD. "Whole Love" is the 1st song on side 3 of the vinyl.... thought it to be odd. Heard that it was re-ordered to fit OSM on 1 side, but that doesn't really make sense, why would the songs be rearranged if their running times are the same (well, I mean OSM is longer, but why would that change the order)-?

They are not a jam band. To me, jam bands don't really have a lot of structure to their songs. Wilco has structure.

very exciting! They look so big with all those tiny desks.

Agree. It does have more of an emotional pull than "Spiders" It's just plain intense for me. Having only seen it done live once, I'm hoping to see it on Wednesday and Saturday.

What a wonderful post, Crow Daddy Magnus. Post like this are why I still read VC after 10 years. I agree completely with what you said about The Whole Love.
