Very excited about seeing them tonight. Hope (and guessing to be correct) to hear some new songs. The one thing I am not excited about is the 3 hr drive. Wanted to see them at 930 in DC, but it was sold out so had to settle for Morgantown. Should be great, except for the drunk kids just there because its on campus.

Here's to hoping Tweedy doesn't punch me in the face.

yeah, just don't try to kiss him.

can't wait for that tweedy dvd to arrive on my doorstep next week.

My wife and I are eagerly awaiting it as well.



Me? Nah. My wife trying? That could occur.

same here in regards to the dvd.

They played in San Antonio last Friday and I missed out on going because I couldn't get away from work in time. Fuckers.

Normally I would be worried about the same work issue, but the concert doesn't start til 10pm. Figure they will play 1.5 hrs which will put me at about 12am if they start on time. Putting me back in Hagerstown at 3-3:30am to get up 4 hrs later for work. Rock.

this reminds me of driving to morgantown to see the white stripes and brendan benson. i don't think the show ended until 1 and then we had a 2.5-hour drive home. i also had a bad cold. but it was such a good show!

i need to see these guys again. the only time i saw 'em was at summerfest at the outskirts of the crowd a quick sprint away from the ferris wheel.

Wow. Spectacular show. No one got beat up. Two thumbs up. I have to say that at first when I heard that Nels was joining the band I was a bit hesitant. I liked him solo and in his improv stylings, but I didn't know whether Wilco's rock would suit him. Well, after last night's performance, all doubts were wiped completely clean from the slate. His playing has added such a dimension to the band, that in previous incarnations wasn't there.

The band played a solid 2+ hours with 2 encores. As Tweedy said, the crowd wasn't the largest, but apparently we were the best smelling of the tour so far. Go figure. The venue was literally a ballroom with some acoustic tiles on the walls and hardwood floors, which probably helped the cavernous inside sound a bit better. Not bad sound really though.

Excited for the new songs and I wasn't let down. My favorite is "Impossible Germany". Great song. If I can get an mp3 I'll post it at some point.

Here's the setlist in case anyone is interested:



Someone on Via Chicago was saying that Sunken Treasure was finally reinstated to the set. Love the song, know Tweedy did it extensively on his solo (hence DVD title).

Great, great night despite having to drive back over the mtn in thick soupy fog, and heading pillow at 4am to wake back up for work at 8am.

edit--forgot to add 2 fave moments: 1)Tweedy leading crowd in singalong and saying "ok, this is the point where I tell you something to yell, and you yell it back, I say that sucked, you yell it again. I say its getting better, and then you yell it a third time and I say there you go"
2)Tweedy donning a WVU jersey with Tweedy emblazoned across the back.

wilco sucks



all my money
because i give so much of it to them.

I spent 50 at their merch table...got the tote bag for wife, sherpa cap, poster, and buttons.

glad you had a good time, the last two wilco shows I've been to were some of my finest concert experiences ever...both very "on" performances.

basically the type of shows that can bring a band lingering in your top 20 to a top 5.

i said it after the last time i saw them...nels is the best thing to happen to this band.

sherpa cap?

they call it a cupcake hat...

wilco streaming live right now from 9:30 club in DC on http://www.wilcoworld.net.

np: handshake drugs.

sounds awesome...i wish i was smart enough to know how i could somehow record/download this.

my dad was at a park in fort worth last week for a class field trip and someone said:

"hey theres a band setting up over there to practice"

so he goes over to this outdoor amphitheatre in the park, sits down in the third row at the edge, and proceeds to watch some guys tune their instruments, and break into "Muzzle of Bees"

He calls me so I can seethe.

He saw about an hour of Tweedy, et al practicing with no one else around.

Im fairly jealous

so far they seem to be following this same setlist. This Impossible Germany tune is awesome.

and here's the video of Tweedy punching the fan, in case nobody has posted the link already:

give me a few days.

"Impossible Germany" is by far my favorite of their new songs.

i can handle this.

god that pisses me off. wtf? why ruin the show by jumping up and interrupting the song? Because you're an attention whore, that's why.

930 Club show. 160 encoded mp3. I'm sure a Torrent will be up at some point.
