in my head, I can't not hear "Total Pros" the way Pat Sansone says it in Ashes of American Flags.

[Shug]

   Yeah, me too.  And apparently they were wearing sparkly jackets.

I think I may prefer the first nights setlist. I love that they opened a 6 night run in Chicago with Via Chicago,  and I love that Outta Site/Outta Mind duo to close one encore and start the other.  I do love Wilco (the song) as an opener though. Definitely a ton of nuggets in that setlist Shug posted. I really wish I wouldn't have slept on these.

[Shug]

I know, us too, Eric.  LD and I have been wanting to see a Wilco run in Chicago. Missed the incredible shrinking tour in 2011 and this one was announced so late in the year, all the travel $ was already spent.  I wish they'd announce this stuff with more notice.  I'm hoping for some West Coast Wilco shows this spring or summer.

DAMN!

[EverythingChanges]

Anyone else really bummed that I Shall Be Released and You and I didn't make the vinyl's cut for AMF?  They are on the CD version...

[EverythingChanges]

Really bummed I didn't make it to any Wilco shows recently.  I was too busy with starting a new job and graduating college! I hope they come back towards Indy or somewhere near soon, now that I can relax a bit. 

Also, I'll Fight is a very underrated song from them.

i don't think any of the Live songs made it on the Vinyl. ISBR is probably my favorite song of all time though, and that cover rules.

That song should have been on there, that cover is amazing.  I agree, it is a great tune.

Also, Hummingbird is way better as a demo.  There is something about that version that kills.  She's a Jar's demo rocks as well.

dude the hummingbird demo is my favorite thing about the whole boxset.  When its starting it sounds so sludgy and not like it fits with the lyrics, then by the time all the instruments are in it is just beautiful. Love it

[Willard1979]

I LOVE the remix of Shot In The Arm

[ffghtrs]

Have you ever noticed that the Pandora Wilco station is out of this world good.  SHit i need to check out the MMJ one.

[justbcuzido]

Is anyone going to the Houston show in April? Also, how's the venue? It's the Bayou Music Center. I live in Austin, so I have never been.

We got our tickets for Solid Sound tonight. Smart move on their part to announce another SS consisting of Wilco headlining both Friday and Saturday nights + Tweedy + Tweedy solo + Tweedy and Friends then keep the early birds on sale for one more day. It sure as shit sold me. All of that alone for $125 is an absolute steal. Plus there's an entire lineup to be announced. Then add to that the grounds and town the fest is held on and it should be a no-brainer for any Wilco fan within driving distance. Hopefully they keep the attendance numbers around the same as SS13.

Jessica Pratt
Bill Frisell

Are you driving or flying? Camping?
In typical SS fashion, I'm familiar with those other bands by name/reputation only.
