Albert Tatlock Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 The Guardian comes up with some random coverage in the UK. Nothing too dramatic but the last line is nice. http://www.theguardian.com/music/2015/jun/25/wilco-solid-sound-festival-daydream “In almost every way I can think of, I feel more inspired and energetic and grateful and excited to do my job than I’ve ever felt,” he says. “The band today is what I thought the band was at the beginning. It took a lot for it to get there.” Quote Link to post Share on other sites

worldrecordplayer Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 the weather forecast is pissing me off.I am trying, unsuccessfully, to not let it deflate my energy in the run up to SS. But after 2 years of waiting for the return of SS, and after all this dry weather, I just want to scream. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bigloop Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I blame the State Department. Their computer system breakdown prevented King SUNNY Ade from attending. Only then did the forecast turn to shit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nothing too dramatic but the last line is nice. http://www.theguardian.com/music/2015/jun/25/wilco-solid-sound-festival-daydream The line before that is even nicer "Wilco is accounting its 20th year with a recent box set of rarities and last year played a marathon run of shows in Chicago where the band played every song in its catalog. Next up: a new album, possibly out late this year." Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just bring your poncho & it'll be great. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hixter Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 If it rains all weekend I might just blow off the festival completely and make my beer quest even more epic than originally intended. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You don't own a Wilco (the poncho) Poncho? I can't recall if it was the first or second SSF but I recall being part of a poncho rainbow down on the field... We were soaked, but it was a good time!

jbray Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I doubt it'll rain ALL weekend, but if it does I'll make the best of it. Not going to let it spoil a great weekend of music.It poured on Friday night in 2011 and left Joe's Field flooded that entire weekend. However, that was still an amazing Solid Sound if not for the sheer volume of songs that they played that I rarely get to hear ("Hotel Arizona", Hell is Chrome"). I would say that it was better than Solid Sound #3 because two nights of Wilco is better than A cover set (however special that was) and no "A Ghost is Born"). Simply put, come equipped, spend time in the galleries when the rain is hardest, and enjoy the show because this does only happen "Every Other Year". Maybe one day they will go back to the original August when New England is pretty dry. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
