tinnitus photography Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 I'm sure Mikael's got a 'sitar' setting on his keyboard. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
linclink Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 So who's gonna learn the sitar before then -- Nels? Pat?I'd guess Nels, but...any instrument could sub...as suggested a keyboard setting...a Jerry Jones electric sitar...or just play it on guitar...I'd love to hear it, but I don't think it'll be my final choice (just one I'd love to hear, & that crossed my mind), or that they'd choose it even if it was...

Albert Tatlock Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 If I was there i'd like to watch Glenn raising a sweat on Candy's Room, and As JT was a teenage Clash fan, maybe I Fought The Law. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shug Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 My vote was for The Byrds 100 Years From Now. Just so y'all know who to blame if they happen to play it. Yeah! This would be my pick, too. If they played this kinda rock all night long, I'd be in heaven. Contender for the Stonsiest Wilco recording. Glad and Sorry - The Faces (played by Golden Smog, of course) would be another wishlist song of mine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
smells like flowers Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 I'm so excited about hearing Wilco do a bunch of covers... the possibilities for fun seem pretty limitless. Wonder if they'll have taken the time to put a personal spin on any of 'em, or if they'll play basically straight. I also love the element of surprise involved. As much as I adore Wilco's music, when you see a show, you usually have an idea that you'll hear at least a few (if not all) of the heavy rotation regulars. Can't wait!

Albert Tatlock Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Dropped Wilco HQ a line asking that they publish the full 50 at some point after the event. They replied positively - will put it to the band. That would be fun to see. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RaspberryJam Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 I was listening to the radio the other day, a song came on and I was inspired to request it. I won't post it here because I fear ridicule and am not good with rejection, but I'll certainly lay claim to it if they play it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IRememberDBoon Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Wanted - Dead or Alive - Bon JoviId settle for Livin on a Prayer.They would kill it on either of thoseDoesn't Nels have a white double neck geetar? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kidsmoke Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 I'm going to be happy with almost anything they choose to play. You've all made some fabulous suggestions! What fun this is going to be! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
remphish1 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Hi all...there is a slim chance I can make Friday of Solid Sound..Intrigued by the all request show. Is everyone getting the vibe that it is going to be all or mostly covers? If that is the case I may skip it and just listen from home later. I was hoping for mostly rare WILCO tracks...figured a fest of all mostly die hard Wilco fans making requets we should get some gems...I threw in my request for message form mid bar in the remote chance I make it!

sonicshoulder Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Everybody should take 5 minutes and listen to Moody Blues "Never Comes the Day" and imagine Wilco covering it. By everybody I actually only mean you guys and Jeff though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

linclink Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 I'll probably try & sneak a few in, & all Beatles me thinks...today I submitted "And Your Bird Can Sing"Thinking next might be "It's All Too Much"...then I've kind of narrowed it down to "Julia", "Across The Universe" & "Two Of Us"- which I think I can sneak in on some library computers (it's all in fun & I think they are just looking for whatever seems rightest to them amidst the entries- good fun reading them all I imagine)... I know that Nels put "Paperback Writer" b/w "Rain" in his 5 favorite singles list in that Wilco '09 Tour Book, & I think I'd go for "Rain" from those two (though they are both great), if I was hoping to get one of those in by virtue of knowing that's already a real fave of someone's...

choo-choo-charlie Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 I love The Beatles as much as the rest of you, but I gotta say, "Julia," "Across the Universe," and "Two of Us" seem better suited for a Jeff Tweedy solo set than Wilco. "And Your Bird Can Sing," "It's All Too Much" -- those make sense to me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
twoshedsjackson Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Since we're talking Beatles, why not "She Said"? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

twoshedsjackson Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 anyone?? I sincerely hope it's not mostly covers. A few would be cool, but like you I'm hoping for some Wilco rarities. I'll be there regardless. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tinnitus photography Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 i doubt it's gonna be all covers...that would be a bit strange. but i would think there will be a healthy mix, maybe half? either way, it'll be a lot of fun. i like how Wilco is coming up w/ different ideas to promote the festival this year.

Just curious, but why is there so many requests for covers. I would rather have the band play a new spin on a old song from their catalogue then hear the band do a cover. Unless the cover is not a cover but their spin on someone else's song. I guess i'm just not a big fan of what amounts to a full band version of karaoke. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
