Wilco: The Thread

[Ghosts_on_TV]

P.S. Yac, this thread should be called Wilco: The Thread. For obvious reasons.

Happy to change it, but the reasons are not obvious to me.  Enlighten me.

Because of Wilco (the album), Wilco (the song) ect...

ACL comes on early Fiday Morning on my local PBS channel and this week it was Florence and the Machine.  I'm going to have to check the guide to see if this show is on another PBS channel...

Flo Mach was last week here, so my guess is you'll see the Wilco ep next Friday.

Saw Wilco for the first time ever last night. I could not help but keep comparing the show to MMJ. Strong similarities in many ways, the most surprising one was Tweedy now looks like Jim James brother. He looks a little heavier, wore a black button down shirt reminiscent of Jim, and had long hair and a beard. Some of his physical movements were similar. Is this a chicken or the egg scenerio? Both bands are off the charts incredible live, but I have to say My Morning Jacket is just more melodic. I would see Wilco again, but not with the adrenaline anticipation of an MMJ show.       White Denim kicks ass.

I have only been on the Wilco bandwagon for the past 6 months or so.  Years ago, people said I should listen to their music, but pretty much wasn't feeling it. 

About 6 months ago, I watched Ashes of an American Flag and from that song on forth I was hooked.  It then hit me why I liked them now than before, and probably why I am not a huge fan of TTF and AD or YHF albums.  Both MMJ and Wilco needed outside players to bring their music to another level.

It's very strange that both MMJ and Wilco, made major changes to their lineups in 2004.   Carl and Bo brought so much to the table, as did Nels and Pat.  Listening to old songs done with the current lineups are revelations.  I feel that is one of the reason Okonosos and the Palms sessions were made, to show how the old material just needed another go around and every remade song is infinitely better than the original.  The TTF show at T5 was imho the most remarkable of their shows that week, every song was fulfilled and great.

As to Wilco, I feel the same way.  Any version with the new lineup is much fuller and realized.  Ashes of an American Flag is incredible and almost a different song. 

MMJ is still number 1 but Wilco is closing fast.

Jeff Tweedy is playing two solo benefit shows here next month.  Highly recommended if you can work it out.  The setlist is chosen by the first 30 or so folks waiting in line outside the venue - so as you can imagine, all kinds of rarities and b-sides as the Wilco nerds love to play "stump Jeff".   ;D

Where is he playing? I'm DYING to see Wilco again, but I'd definitely settle for a Jeff show

The Vic.  It's a smallish theater, maybe 1200-1400? 

Ticket link:

The VIP tix aren't really necessary - if you get there at doors, you can usually still get in the first few rows of the GA section, which is maybe 15 feet back.

Hope you can make it!  It's a great time.  Half music, half Jeff stand-up.   ;D

I love Jeff's solo shows. I always get a couple laughs from the between-song banter.

Hmm... the 30th is out because I've got tickets to the Delta Spirit show in Philly that night. The 31st is doable, and I've got a free round trip ticket for Southwest to use. $50 for a show like that isn't too bad at all.

Hmmmm.... tempting.

[YouAre_GivenToFly]

Holy cow the Vic is right down the street from an awesome little beer garden I visited this past summer with a friend of mine.

Oh man this is tempting!

[ALady]

Sheffield's, right?  Good call.   

Let me know if you decide to come, we can meet up!

[bold992006]

Tweedy shows are pretty awesome.

I can't wait to see Wilco at Hangout.
