IRememberDBoon Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 How much would you pay for a ticket??? How many people would go??? How sweet would it be to hear Jeff Tweedy and Jay Farrar harmonize on all those rocking tunes??!!!! I would sacrifice a kidney or a ball if I could be assured of the first three rows. I just cant imagine what it would be like to hear them rip into those songs! Peace in the Midwest (Tweedy and Farrar) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
So Long Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 I'd rather see Wilco and watch Jay Farrar in the audience, drinking away his "could have been" thoughts... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

OOO Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 I think they are both better off and happier with their own gigs, but I would definitely go see it. But tweedy said he cannot play bass fast enough anymore. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But tweedy said he cannot play bass fast enough anymore. they can do a side tour and John can play bass. Tweedy has three other bands with every other jag on the planet. He needs to make peace and rip those sounds one more time. No need to wait until they are old as dirt. Just get it over with. Its not right to hold out on something so powerful.

mountain bed Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Everytime I think about all of the times UT played within an hour of my house I want to stick my head in the oven.

No need to wait until they are old as dirt. Just get it over with. Its not right to hold out on something so powerful.While I don't really agree with this, I would definitely see a re-united Uncle Tupelo. I think I would definitely rather see a Loose Fur show, and/or to have traveled back in time to one of those Summerteeth-YHF era shows. That would be interesting. I'd pay decent money for a ticket, but for all the good UT material there is I just find myself more drawn to Jeff Tweedy related work post-Tupelo Quote Link to post Share on other sites

IRememberDBoon Posted October 4, 2007 Author Share Posted October 4, 2007 how does black eye from the March 16-20, 1992 sound?? how about wait up? are they both basically jeff solo?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Peace in the Midwest (Tweedy and Farrar) hmmmm . . . . not likely to happen. i might go if it was free . . . and really close to my house . . . and i had nothing better to do that night . . . but you'd have to pay me to go see son volt again. YAWN!!!!! personally, i'd rather go see wilco, golden smog, loose fur, or any number of unknown local bands. i like jeff's songwriting but jay's stuff doesn't really interest me. i like some of the tupelo stuff, but prefer jeff's songs in the tupelo collection. i find jay's voice annoying and whiny. his songs all sound exactly the same to my ear. basically, i'm interested in where wilco is going in the future cause i think wilco (and all jeff's projects) just keep getting better and more interesting.

yankee Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 i would pay $50 i would pay $100 to see wilco with jay bennett hmmmm . . . interesting. personally, i think the current wilco line up is great and i wouldn't change it. it seems to work for where they are now musically. they're producing great stuff and the musicianship is just amazing. i would probably pay more to see the current wilco line up than i would for wilco with bennett. unless bennett was an addition, and not replacing any of the current members. for that . . . i'd pay the same as i would for the current wilco line up.

DAngerer09 Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 but you'd have to pay me to go see son volt again. YAWN!!!!! I liked their last 2 albums, but their live show that I saw about 2 years ago didn't really excite me too much. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yankee Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 I liked their last 2 albums, but their live show that I saw about 2 years ago didn't really excite me too much. gotta admit, i'm going mostly off the early son volt and what i saw live last year. the early stuff didn't grab me and the live show really turned me off so i didn't want to listen to the more recent stuff. maybe i'll give the most recent albums a listen.

TheMaker Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 ummm no. i was talking about a peaceful reunion tour. Yeah, but there's a jerkoff in every crowd. Never forget it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scalzunfield Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 I haven't even thought about seeing a Jay Farrar-led act since him and Mark Spencer absolutely wowed me to sleep shortly after Sebastopol was released. A UT reunion would be the only way I'd see Farrar. And I'd be happier than a pig in sh*t. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bobbob1313 Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 they can do a side tour and John can play bass. Tweedy has three other bands with every other jag on the planet. He needs to make peace and rip those sounds one more time. No need to wait until they are old as dirt. Just get it over with. Its not right to hold out on something so powerful. From what I've, it's not Jeff that has a problem with reuniting. Apparently Jay hasn't talked to him in over a decade, and Jeff, rightfully has stopped trying to reach out. But there's this, too: We were waiting at a red light' date=' and I asked him if there would ever be an Uncle Tupelo reunion. Surprisingly (and without much hesitation), he said maybe. This shocked me, because Tweedy hasn't really spoken with Jay Farrar in something like 10 years. This being the case, I asked him what would be the biggest hurdle in making this reunion a reality. He said something I had never anticipated: "I don't know if I could play those songs anymore," Tweedy said. "The bass parts on some of those songs are really fast. I don't think I can play bass that fast anymore." This, obviously, is crazy; this is like saying you're considering reuniting with your estranged wife after a 10-year separation, but you're really nervous that she might have rearranged the living room furniture. Yet--somehow--this sentiment struck me as remarkably insightful; it was the kind of highly important detail that normal people never consider when they expect artists to satisfy their dreams unconditionally. So this was the second thing I realized about Jeff Tweedy: Musically, he notices what is not so obvious.[/quote'] Quote Link to post Share on other sites
