Magnetized Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 No matter what happens, I would welcome hearing some new songs at Solid Sound in June. Hearing Born Alone, I Might, Dawned on Me, Whole Love, etc. at the last Solid Sound, a few months before the release of the record, was a treat. I'm just going by memory here so I could be wrong, but I thought the only song from The Whole Love they sang at Solid Sound was I Might. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
choo-choo-charlie Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't "Unlikely Japan" recorded around the time of AGIB? Sounds like a circa 2002-03 Jeff Teeedy vocal to my ears. I really dig that track. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sounds like a circa 2002-03 Jeff Teeedy vocal to my ears. I really dig that track.You are right, of course. I just meant that there is prolly a lot of stuff in the vaults that we don't know about. Just like UJ being a surprise to us hardcore fans. I really like the song too. My favorite from W(TA) time period. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
i'm only sleeping Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 I'm just going by memory here so I could be wrong, but I thought the only song from The Whole Love they sang at Solid Sound was I Might.I think they also played Dawn on me An acoustic live (or not) set would be great while we're waiting for the new album Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I was definitely wrong. They played Whole Love, Standing O, Dawned On Me, I Might and Born Alone. How did I forget all that? So wow, we might hear lots from the new album this summer!

mpolak21 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 My bet would be everything has been taped for a very long time, and in the band's possession. If it wasn't cost-effective then no bands would do it, and many do. Could be a very nice revenue stream for the band, and a wonderful thing for the fans as well. That would be my hope also, though I do know when Greg Kot was researching for his Wilco bio, there were fans he leaned on for access to bootleg recordings for certain live shows, particularly the rougher England shows of the Being There era. Given the access he had, I would guess that they might not actually have deep live archives. But then again maybe tasked with the option of spending more time with Greg Kot, they kept their stash to themselves. Very excited for the new album, no idea where they'll go next, but I will follow. --Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Inside of Outside Posted January 3, 2013 Author Share Posted January 3, 2013 I'm just going by memory here so I could be wrong, but I thought the only song from The Whole Love they sang at Solid Sound was I Might.I thought the same thing when I first thought about it, too. But we got I Might, Born Alone, Whole Love, and Dawned on Me the first night and Dawned on Me, Standing O, I Might, and Born Alone on the second (plus I Love My Label). I remember thinking I Might was a rocking tune (if I remember right, that was available as a single at the festival), and then I remembered his falsetto at the beginning of Whole Love got a few laughs the first night. Another 4-5 new songs at SS III would be a nice bonus. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ghost of Electricity Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 I have been outta the loop recently and lack a time frame. Have they had a break from touring fal 2012? Any speculations as to whether the new stuff exists already and is now being tweaked/recorded or is that the plan for early 2013? When can we realistically expect this new record? Also I seem to remember something from an interview around the time of TWL release where Jeff (or maybe) someone else said they'd recorded fifty songs and narrowed it down to the 10(?) that ended up on the record. Possibly another release from this material? That said, I think Jeff and Tony have enough business savvy to put out new material every two or three years until the well runs dry, and if and when that happens, go back to the plethora of "secret" material.

Cam Jones Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 last Solid Sound fest I thought it would have been awesome for Wilco to play an album in full one night. And then the next night a mixture of the 'hits'.I feel like Wilco fans would be really receptive to the band playing their new record in it's entirety without us having heard a note.

That's a very neat idea! Would you do it in that order, too? New album, Night 1. Rest of catalog, Night 2. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, depending on the arrangements, maybe they could just do a live record of all new material (like what the Beatles initially were trying to attempt with the Let it Be album). I think that would be pretty cool. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Queen Amaranthine Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Tweedy solo shows in 2013? At least one in Minneapolis/St. Paul or Iowa City (since I won't make it to the benefit shows in Chicago this spring or SS in June)? On a night I don't have to work and better yet, don't have work the following day? Please? Is that asking too much? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ViaNewOrleans Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Other than 2 Jazz Fest appearances, Wilco has not done a "proper" show in New Orleans since 2008. Some shows at Tipitinas would be awesome, and most certainly overdue. How about it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IRememberDBoon Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 oh lord yes Tipitinas. one of the bestest few days of my life. cant think of a better venue besides maybe the 930 or National because they are so close but neither are Tips but they are close.

linclink Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Below is a quote from an archived 2209 Tweedy interview in Uncut magazine that was just re-posted, but it references next month's issue which features Tweedy talking about the new album they are currently recording. That's why they aren't doing as many live dates in 2013- though I'm hoping for a later 2013 album release & some late in the year tour dates to follow!! Elsewhere I read that Tweedy noted that he had between 3 dozen & 100 song ideas/fragments laying about that they were working on. This is from another thread here, but I thought I'd move the info into this thread."Wilco frontman Jeff Tweedy discusses his band’s upcoming new album in the current issue of Uncut (dated February 2013, Take 189), out now – but here, in this piece from Uncut’s August 2009 issue, Tweedy answers questions from fans and famous admirers, and discusses Bob Dylan’s beard, hanging with Neil Young and the recipe for the perfect burger (clue: use cranberries)…"http://www.uncut.co.uk/wilco/an-audience-with-wilco-s-jeff-tweedy-feature Quote Link to post Share on other sites
worldrecordplayer Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 In addition to SS'13 and as many Wilco shows as there are for me to see, I would love to see some Tweedy solo shows. In Boston. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

In Boston. do you think he could draw enough people for the Wilbur? or maybe The Sinclair would be cool (just judging from what friends have told me...i haven't been there yet).

Fairly quickly, too. I think the Wilbur is a similar size, so that would be perfect. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I definitely think he could sell the Wilbur. Berklee Performance Center would also be sweet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tinnitus photography Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 i like the Wilbur better than Berklee...you are closer to the stage. Berklee's got a strange layout. given the Maine show, sounds like The Wilbur would be the perfect fit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Man, The Sinclair is such a great little venue. I'd love to see Jeff there-- though I think it's probably a little too small. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
