cryptique Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 I'd go see it, but I don't think it's ever going to happen, and really, why should it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

quarter23cd Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Ten years ago I would have been really excited about this. Now...well, it would be kind of a novelty act, really, to see some guys who haven't played together in over a decade get together and bang out songs that they wrote when they were kids and probably don't have a lot of attachment to anymore. I would see this if both bands were at a festival or something and maybe UT got together to play a mini-set between the current bands' sets. Nostalgia is great, and like a lot of people, I wish I would have been there...but since both guys are still actively producing new material, I can only assume that that is their primary interest these days.

Guest Left Arm Tan Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 i'd obviously go see the show, but i just don't see it ever happening, so for my sake, i'm going to stop hoping. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
poppydawn Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Generally, I don't like reunions of any sort. However, I'd love to see little hometown reunion UT show. Just one; not a tour. Shut down the streets in Belleville around the town square, set up the stage, and make for one hell of a fun night. Free tickets. Make money off the gazillion cans of $1 Stag that would be sold. Jay's brother John is a jazz guitarist who lives in Belleville. He's got a standing gig at my favorite restaurant. I get to see him for free all the time and honestly, I enjoy his live performances more than his brother's. Not that I have anything against Jay (who's doing quite well for himself in St. Louis).

spongebob Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 "So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."-F.S. Fitzgerald Even if UT reunited it wouldn't be the same. The myth is worth far more to me. If I want to hear UT live I simply put on a boot from 13 to 18 years ago.Reunions usually pale in comparison to the original. And I said usually people, no need to hit me with the exceptions. There are exeptions for everything.spongebob Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Spawn's dad Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 I'd still take trace over any single wilco album. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MattZ Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 how so? Well, I meant it tongue in cheek (hence the smiley), but it did seem to me that you were ascribing some ill will or bad feelings to Jay Farrar that aren't necessarily true, and although I have no clue, I would bet are probably false. First, I dont think he'd agree that wilco>son volt. And second, even if he did, I am not sure he'd care all that much since I don't know where that would get him. And third, even if he did care, I don't really see any evidence of sand in his vagina. Seems like he tries to stay away from discussions about wilco. At least in the interviews I've read. Just my opinion, but Jay seems pretty happy to me to be in Son Volt. I've never gotten the sense that he regrets the past. Or the present. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Scalzunfield Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 OMFG! for the first time in 13 years! Rick Astley is my hero. If only every song could be written so well. On a complete side note: I'm currently working on a solo acoustic version of "Together Forever" by the aforementioned Rick Astley. It's not going well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
3 speed Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 wilco & son volt both played Wakarusa three or four years ago (if memory serves... i was there but didn't get to son volt) there was some hope at that time that they'd do a little set... would've been a perfect opportunity... i'd go, of course, but i don't feel great sadness that it'll probably never happen. saw farrar solo a few years back at the bottleneck - thought he put on a really nice show. not a ton of personality but he does his coalminer dirges very well.
