  1. Jay Bennett just played with such ease. His fingers were spring-loaded. I wish I could play like Jay.
  2. Lord, did you compile this yourself? Thanks!
  3. He sounds like a muppet. Not quite sure which muppet.
  4. Wilco could record their belches and I'd be first in line to buy it. They could perform said belch album in its entirety and I'd buy a ticket. That said, this was an average show. Granted, average Wilco shows are better than most bands on their best nights, but...they were rusty and I needed beer. Dry campus, dry building = bleeccch. They're swell guys for doing the request-a-song thing on the website, but I'd prefer they take control and play what they want to. The jokes JT made last night about "gaming the system" were apt. And Cars Can't Escape sucked, btw. His quip, "we're gonna play it,
  5. Well said. They don't make the same record twice. People evolve. Bands and fans. The new record made me appreciate SBS more than I originally had. It has a poetic quality (as do its predecessors) that I don't find much of in the new one. Live, they're an absolute machine right now. Relax. Enjoy.
  6. Oh hell yeah. I saw St. Paul and St. Louis with an open date in between and hoped for the best. Damn, we've been lucky.

  9. Going that is...Were all the tickets GA, or are GA tix the only ones left??
  10. http://www.gibson.com/en-us/Lifestyle/Feat...ilcos-live-420/ to be honest, i haven't read it yet. oh, i hope it's more than a commercial. okay, now i've read it. not much new. oh well. rock on.
  11. They did it in Iowa City in October, so there goes that theory. In fact, I think they may have the entire leg.
  12. yeah, i saw mr. adams in the same venue a week or two prior and the seats destroyed what was gonna be a terrible show anyway. seriously. the seats made it bad, but RA made it worse. long live GA and good peeps coming to IC.
  13. what's with nels and hitting his head on the chandelier? i didn't see it. rumor says hospital. anybody?
  14. wish i could be more verbose. it was really good. how's that? pat sansone during 'late greats' (?) delivered what jeff later called a heretofore unseen rock move. he re-inserted his guitar chord into his raised guitar in ultra-dramatic sloowwww motion just before his part kicked in. tweedy remarked too that it was "rather suggestive" as well. funny. hot. good crowd. well-behaved. typical iowa stuff. wasn't expecting 'it's just that simple'. nostalgic for us oldtimers. 'too far apart' rocked in a way i hadn't heard before too. wow. like the tiger says, they're grrrrreat.
  15. i know, i know. don't mince words, tell it to me straight.
  16. i thought this was the most meandering, bloated wankfest that i've been to in many a moon. that bob weir stuff has worn off on ryan. to his detriment. blecch. the 2-3 minute chats between songs was cute for a nanosecond, but the guy needs to deliver. and the audience was so fucking polite too! ha ha, ryan, ha ha, you quit smoking. you're a nutty guy. boring! i stayed thinking he'd redeem himself. nope. sucked. granted it was almost 3 hrs, but i'd have taken half of that for a better, focused, energetic set without the stupid banter and spacejams. YAWN. i'm still a little bit miffed...
  17. kool moe dee. i'm scouting a pregame site for a spirit or libation. the front street brewery is a few blocks away and currently in first position. anybody else? my ka-nowledge of that town is limited.
