JAK2112 Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 i could also see them taking on a Pavement song...maybe something like "Gold Soundz" or "Silence Kit" YES THIS! A "Stereo" cover would be hilarious Quote Link to post Share on other sites
linclink Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Sunloathe !I've been requesting that one on the website for weeks now myself for Solid Sound...as I'm sure you know, it'd be a debut for the band & the last/only song that they've never performed off of "The Whole Love" (though I guess Jeff has done it solo)...

It may also be the last. Info on how to request songs coming soon." Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Info on how to request songs coming soon."It's right there on the regular Wilco Shows Page on the Official Website...http://wilcoworld.net/#!/shows/Solid Sound is the last one on the page...it only allows the usual requests, no crazy covers or "write-in's"- though...they do allow comments (in the "add a note or dedication" section), so I guess you could request a song from the list, & let them know that whatever you chose would be your 2nd choice, & then write-in your true first choice that might not be on the list (including weird covers) in the "add a note or dedication" section...

jimtweedy1977 Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Down By The River-Neil Young. I'm actually surprised no one has suggested it yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Magnetized Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 The song request link is now up over at the Solid Sound website http://solidsoundfestival.com/song-request/ Should we try stuffing the ballot box for a song or two? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jcamp Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Sunloathe ... or any other suggestions for landslide tallys ?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
linclink Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Sunloathe ... or any other suggestions for landslide tallys ??I'm still requesting "Sunloathe" daily on the standard old website link for the Solid Sound show.http://wilcoworld.net/#!/shows/I'm thinking the one on the Solid Sound website set-up is more for requests of cover songs- hence them asking for the song title & the band who played it.I'm betting that they are going to learn as many of the requests as possible (which will be fun for the future set lists too) & choose the ones that are the most fun & comfortable for them to attempt...and remember there is still some "in the moment" sort of "stump the band" type of request component they'll be trying out too...

Magnetized Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 According to the link it says you can only submit one request. I'm not sure how they'll be able to monitor this unless after submitting your request you have to register or something. I haven't done it yet because if they really are going to be able to enforce the one vote rule, I want to make sure of my request. OK, I've decided, Marquee Moon by Television, for 2 reasons--I think I remember that Jeff once got a guitar lesson from Tom Verlaine as a gift from his wife, and also can you imagine Nels on that solo??

mountain bed Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 I'll request that they NOT play ITMWLY. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Magnetized Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 I'll request that they NOT play ITMWLY. I think the only show they haven't played it was in Auckland. I was shocked to see it omitted. Is there any other song in their catalog that gets played more often? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tinnitus photography Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 I have started an unofficial Pavement crusade with my friends so please vote for Gold Soundz. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
twoshedsjackson Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 I'll request that they NOT play ITMWLY. Me too. It's one of only a few Wilco tunes I've never liked. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Is there any other song in their catalog that gets played more often?Looked it up & the winners are ..."I'm The Man Who Loves You", yes, but at the same level & just slightly ahead actually was "A Shot In The Arm"...think that's the one he dedicates to Sue...which I think is cool, sweet & romantic...and it's a great song that we get to hear Jeff play some lead on, and...the it's usually also played on the Psychedelic swirling Gibson SG http://www.setlist.fm/stats/wilco-23d6982b.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mountain bed Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 It's not like I dislike the tune, and it's fine on YHF, but here tis: I've seen these guys 15-20 times since 2002, and EVERY SINGLE TIME I've seen 'em they played the song. EVERY TIME. It wore out its welcome for me about '06. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JAK2112 Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 I already voted Marquee Moon, really hope that one happens. I also like the Pavement idea, but i have to think there's a better song for them to do than Gold Soundz. I think they'd do a great "Stereo", or maybe "The Hexx"!

Sweet Papa Crimbo Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 I like the Marquis Moon suggestion. I think they could make this work. Nels would fracking shred on it. Oddly enough, I did have a music dream last night (usually these dreams find me onstage with a guitar realizing I don't know how to play it and dancing like a combination of James Brown and Bruce Springsteen).In this dream, I remember Wilco was playing MR. SOUL. by Buffalo Springfield. I think this could be a really nice guitar workout with the boys all pulling some iron. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MKHstudios Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 I requested "Waterloo Sunset" by The Kinks. I have thought for years this would be a cool song for Wilco to cover. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
