estewartdc3 Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 I just read a post that referenced a Wilco show in Camden, Maine back in 2000 which surprised me as it is a teeny town and a tiny venue, (and near my hometown) so I Googled it (of course) and found a concert review posted last year that really captures the chemistry of the band with the Bennett/Croomer/Bach line-up and also the on- and off-stage persona of pre-rehab Jeff Tweedy. The writing is excellent; Brian Robbins, if you're on here, well done. You can find it here http://www.jambands.com/Features/content_2008_07_22.02.phtml. Enjoy.

Oil Can Boyd Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 That is a nice write up. It was my first Wilco show and it was a great one. Up until that point, I was a fan but not a huge one. I had all of the albums but they hadn't really grabbed me yet. But in Camden, by the time they were halfway through the opening song (Airline to Heaven) I knew I had a new favorite band.

calvino Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Nice review. Hope some of the people over 'Bring your Kids to a Concert' thread don't read it, though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mpolak21 Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Wonderful job capturing the energy and uniqueness of that lineup, and I learned at one point Tweedy wanted to call "I'm The Man Who Loves You" Laminated Cat. Also, man I miss Jay Bennett. --Mike. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hottuna Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 WOW. Just Wow. That may have been one of the if not the best concert review I have ever read. Bravo Brian. Amazing piece of writing. I felt like I was a part of a era of Wilco I so sadly never saw live. However after reading that I kind of fell like I just saw them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

estewartdc3 Posted June 17, 2009 Author Share Posted June 17, 2009 Uh... that link doesn't work for me. Anybody else hit a dead end or do I just need to take my laptop out of the bathtub? Hmm.... maybe this URL will work?http://www.jambands.com/Features/content_2008_07_22.02.phtml (the URL shouldn't have a period at the end) If not, just google Wilco and July 3, 2000 and that should yield the jambands.com review. Oh, and I heard from the author that he is working on a review of Wilco(The Album) which should appear on jambands.com right around the album release date... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
