Wilco: The Thread

[Jahmazed]

Today, at work, I listened to A Ghost is Born.  Tonight I'm listening to The Whole Love.  I think I get it.  Its sinking in.  These guys are good!  Better late than never.

SOOO good!  And even better live.. check out ashes dvd and television..

Have you listened to Kicking Television?  It's their Okonokos.

Thanks for the advice.  I only have Ghost is Born and Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, but will start looking into other releases.  I'm thinking I missed something special with that festival they did in Mass. this summer.

I took my own advice and am listening right now on Spotify.  It is  perfect  this Friday afternoon.  You probably did miss something special but they tour relentlessly.  Plenty of more opportunities - plus you'll be more familar with them.  Shit, you'll probably have ten shows under your belt by this time next year!   ;D

Not to rub it in but yup you missed something special  :D  But don't worry I'm almost sure they are planning it again for this summer.   Hope to see you there!

Just saw Wilco for the first (and second) time during their two night stand at the Ryman. Absolutely blown away. This year marks the first times I've seen MMJ and Wilco. Really makes me wonder what I've been doing with my life up until now.

This is a very good show!!  I've had a couple of interruptions so I'm just getting to the end...

I like living in New Orleans, but being out of easy commuting distance to shows like this is tough! 

Thank goodness for the recordings!

Touch choice... I would have a very hard time deciding between those.. not a bad problem to have though ;D

Oh! Ohhhhh I may have found an entrance into Wilco Land!  Just found out the details on the song California Stars, a song I've come to enjoy......

So now I'm checking out Mermaid Avenue, wow am I late to the party!  1998'er.....  Well I like how it's Woody Guthrie lyrics, that's what really caught my eye.

Just got excited because I always see this thread and have heard so much hype about Wilco but hadn't found my In.... perhaps this will be it!

The mermaid Ave albums are great. Be sure to check out "Remember the Mountain Bed"... one of the most beautiful songs ever written.

I love the Natalie Merchant song "Birds and Ships" on the first Mermaid album as well.  Last year, Wilco were closing many of their shows with "Hoodoo Voodoo" from the Mermaid albums, which included some great guitar dueling at the end.

I got extremely lucky over the weekend and scored two tickets to their show at the Metro in Chicago.  Very small venue for them.  They first sold out the Civic Opera House, and then added shows, selling out one at a time, at the Riviera, The Vic and The Metro.  Each venue is subsequently smaller.  Rumor has it they may add one more at an even smaller club.  To avoid scalpers, they have been placing a two ticket limit and will call only for pickup.  The person who ordered has to have ID and the credit card they used to get the tickets, and all members of the party have to enter at the same time, no exceptions.

You're very lucky! I tried to get a ticket to that metro show but had no luck... was going to make a quick trip to Chicago for it. Hopefully they'll stop by Philly sometime in 2012.

That's awesome. I was a moderate fan and slept on Nashville, Indi, and Chicago to save for MMJ NYC. Really wish I would've gone to 2 nights at the Ryman in Nashville. They're too damn good. The live videos really sold, they showed me how these dudes can rock live, even if the song seems mellow.
