omahawilcofan Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Don't know when...but I have the inside scoop from a major t-shirt screenprinter that they just got in a huge Uncle Tupelo t-shirt order that points to a tour later this year. Sweetness! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

linclink Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 For the record, I cannot imagine this happening...and if I did, I'd go, of course, but seeing one gig would be fine. I'd like to see them bury the hatchet & do a show or something, but a tour?!? I highly doubt this. And I'm way more excited about what Wilco is doing. I dug Uncle Tupelo, but I absolutely nuts for Wilco!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tinnitus photography Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 yeah.,..file this under delusional daydream scenario. tweedy's got it good w/ Wilco, and Farrar seems very content w/ his thing too. can't imagine a UT tour at all. The Smiths might be more likely. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Shakespeare In The Alley Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 theres no reason for a UT reunion to happen. tweedy wouldnt play bigger gigs than he already does with wilco, and farrar would swallow a whole bunch of pride. lose-lose situation. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Magnetized Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Well, i absolutely agree that a reunion is highly unlikely, but I couldn't help noticing that Jay Farrar will be playing at Newport two nights after Wilco. It would be an unbelievable hoot if he were to make some kind of a guest appearance, maybe during an encore set. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IRememberDBoon Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Don't know when...but I have the inside scoop from a major t-shirt screenprinter that they just got in a huge Uncle Tupelo t-shirt order that points to a tour later this year. Sweetness! they sell those things on a bunch of sites but that dont mean no tour, but as for me i would pay 1000 dollars easily and i aint joking im old enough to have seen them easily but never did. big regret.

It would be an unbelievable hoot if he were to make some kind of a guest appearance, maybe during an encore set. They've played the same festival before (don't remember which one).They are well beyond wanting or needing to have a reunion.

The Smiths might be more likely. Now I, for one, would be much more excited about a Smiths reunion. But that ain't gonna happen either. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sweet Papa Crimbo Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 I don't like reunions. Â The motives are usually about money and almost always disappointing, uninspired and sometimes embarrassing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Doug C Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 It should only happen if Jeff Tweedy and Jay Farrar simply cover 'Reunion', with stoic, stone-faced Jay taking Vince Clarke's place on keyboards and Jeff singing and prancing about ala Andy Bell while wearing a tutu.

tinnitus photography Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012  Fixed it for you. Well at least my scenario, like the UT one, is in the realm of possibility.  But yeah...ain't gonna happen Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Robby Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Perhaps it signals the release of a live album of earlier performances (I heard that mentioned before) or perhaps a box set with the T-shirt thrown in as part of the package. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Perhaps it signals the release of a live album of earlier performances (I heard that mentioned before) or perhaps a box set with the T-shirt thrown in as part of the package. And Legacy Editions of their catalog.

winterland121072 Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 must be the summer of reunions...i heard Jerry is reuniting with Weir, Lesh and Kreutzman...That should be awesome....Hope they come to Madison... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lamradio Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 So the op remains quiet. What exactly was there on the shirt that "points to a tour"? I call bullshit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LouieB Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 I know VC has become kind of a dull place, but this is ridiculous. I think both guys are pretty busy. Several years ago I talked to someone who was "sure" they were going to play in St. Louis. Didn't happen then and even less likely to happen now. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites

shoesgetcold3 Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Per a Jeff story from a few Vic benefit shows ago, they were vacationing next to each other by chance. If a spark did not strike up then, it is doubtful one would now. Â I heard Jeff and a Tupac like Jay Bennett hologram are planning something. Too soon? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thejokeexplained Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 They've played the same festival before (don't remember which one).They are well beyond wanting or needing to have a reunion. Wakarusa 2005. Wilco headlined the main stage on Saturday evening. Son Volt was a spare on Friday . No public evidence of reconciliation that weekend between Jeff and Jay. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
