Live Stream Of Wilco @ Pitchfork Fest Playing New Album Start To Finish Fri. 7/17 @ 8:30 CST/ 9:30 EST

[Atticus]

Oh man

[kidsmoke]

Just wow.

[jff]

Wonder if that Goldtop is Allman's. Nels borrowed it before.

 

Can anyone confirm?   I was in Macon, GA at the Allmans Museum three weeks ago and the wear patterns on the one Nels is playing don't look like the one they have on display in Macon.  Maybe Duane had more than one Goldtop and the one they loan out isn't the one they keep on display at the museum.  

[Mr. Heartbreak]

"So, you think our setlists are tired and predictable? Here's a new fucking setlist."

Problem solved!

[paulcalypse]

I mean..I liked the album. Listened to it 15 times already.

 

But the songs in a live context. Amazing. The guitar tones are sick. The interplay, the pacing, everything.

[Kalle]

They sound unbelievably tight for never playing these songs live before. They really kept this whole thing under wraps.

[paulcalypse]

And Nels can make a slide guitar sound like a theremin.

[Atticus]

That song is just heartbreakingly honest and vulnerable. Beautiful.

[d. boony]

Man, this song is just so beautiful live!

[Kalle]

Is it just me or is the hi hat mic feeding back like crazy?

[ThisIsNowhere]

Holy crap, are they covering Pavement right now? I can't put my finger on what song they're playing now.

[jff]

These jerks would have ti interrupt my new guitar day.  They're going to get a nasty letter.

I guess I'll just play along.

[SarahC]

This is too much.

[d. boony]

So what do they break into after this incredible rendition of Magnetized?

 

PS:  I really liked this album earlier today. Hearing it live makes me love it.

[gopokes]

Did Sunloathe ever get played? It makes me laugh to think they have toured for almost 4 years with that album under their belts and never played the damn thing yet nailed every song in one night with the new album.

[Atticus]

So pat plays guitar on every track and Jeff uses a capo on only 1 tune.

[Kalle]

That was pretty great. Super gutsy thing for a band to do that at that big of a headlining festival set.

[twoshedsjackson]

That was incredible. Every single song. I cannot wait for them to tour with this.

[u2roolz]

Wow! That was the most beautiful thing that I've seen and heard in awhile. It still feels very surreal. 3 weeks ago tonight we were getting the Acoustic set. Who knew that we'd be here tonight experiencing this?

 

Jeff looks extremely happy!

[d. boony]

That was pretty great. Super gutsy thing for a band to do that at that big of a headlining festival set.

Certainly takes some chutzpah.  

 

At first I wondered about this strategy of dumping the album with no pre-press or singles etc.... but now it seems pretty brilliant.

[Mr. Heartbreak]

Now the rest of the set can be What's Your 20? highlights but none of us will complain. 

[d. boony]

Now the rest of the set can be What's Your 20? highlights but none of us will complain. 

The rest of the set could be Depeche Mode b-sides!

[dagwave]

jeebus jeebus jeebus:

 

A door closes, another just opened

in a little more than 24 hours

 

a chapter ends, no, an entire novel

closes

but the storytellers are just getting

started.

 

and the story

you thought you knew

is just now

beginning

anew

[mgordy]

I really hope Random Name Generator is a new staple to their live set.  The guitar interplay at the end... I need it. I need more. I really wish the guitar playing at the end of the song on the live version had been included on the record.  Seems like they toned it down a tad.

[SarahC]

Has pat always had that solo?
