Wilco LP #7 Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 Regardless of your feelings towards the recorded output, don't allow yourself to miss them live if they're in your neck of the woods.It's like, an "experience-man".( No kiddin, they are somethin else live) MMJ live is one in a million. The feeling I had when the One Big Holiday riff opened the concert, Jim James playing it passionately at the edge of the stage.....man, oh man. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

yankhotelfox Posted February 3, 2007 Author Share Posted February 3, 2007 I can see where "Z" might be hard to listen to if you are new to the band. You should get "It Still Moves", and listen to the first 7 songs then make your decision. Couldn't agree more. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Binaural Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Phone Went West is my alltime fav followed by Gideon and Bermuda Highway Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LouisvilleGreg Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Anyone going to see them in Athens or Asheville next month? The Orange Peel is probably about as small a venue as they are likely to play anymore and as a great big bonus it's GA. I may make the trek from Richmond. I know it would be worth it, Greg Quote Link to post Share on other sites

OOO Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 One Big Holiday Gideon Lowdown but this was indeed, unfair and too hard. I was introduced to them through Z, and was floored. I went back from there and was continuously impressed/dancing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
