just read that Beck was added to the Jones Beach date that MMJ is not playing

that's pretty awesome. Would love to see Beck.  I think he and Jim could make beautiful music together.  MMJ should add a cover of Debra.  You know Jim would nail those high notes.

just read that Beck was added to the Jones Beach date that MMJ is not playing

Ha.  Jim is playing Newport Folk on the day AmericanaramA comes to Jones Beach.  Beck is playing Newport the next day.  Interesting...  and sort of rules out a JJ/Beck collaboration.

Yeah, but the day Jim is at Newport, Beck is playing w/AmericanaramA and the day Beck is playing Newport, Jim rejoins MMJ for AmericanaraA, so they're ships that pass in the night...

Thanks for breaking it down like I'm a five year-old.

More like the dozens of 14 yr. olds I have in my classroom each day. Sorry.

Here is an epic noise freakout.

I absolutely love WILCO. That video you posted reminds me when i saw them in Memphis at The Orpheum back in 06 or 07. My wife and I had 2 extras and one of my old high school buddies and his baby's momma went with us. She is a Cowboy Junkies, mellow Neko Case fan and asked me if WILCO had many songs with electric guitars. And I, of course, a man of his word, said no. Well, she scowled pretty much the whole concert, would leave for 15 minutes and go smoke a cig, come back, scowl, check her watch, go smoke, etc...and I knew Kidsmoke was coming up, and hoping in my heart of hearts they'd catch her between smoke breaks, which they did, ~ a baptismal of noise, you know? Someone needed to save this woman ~and as I was thinking > there is absolutely no way they could play this too loud (probably around the 5 minute mark on your youtube clip) I snuck a peek at her 3 seats down to my left and she was scowling, and it was LOUD and she looked over and we had brief eye contact and so I averted my eyes above her and in the front row of the balcony was a guy hanging over the ledge, losing his ever-loving-rocking mind in a blur of hair-fists and ecstasy; the perfect yin-yang moment and easily one of my all time favorite concert moments.

Has anyone been to a show at Pier A in Hoboken? I'm trying to figure out if this show is going to be all GA. I can't find anything definitive online but it appears as though it's all GA. Anyone know?

[e_wind]

Another wilco suggestion: if you're more of a fan of the first 3 MMJ records, buy the first 3 wilco records. Being There especially.

Excellent suggestion, Eric.


Tracy, I really enjoyed your story. The two differing experiences of the exact same moment amused me very much.

So for you guys who already bought your tickets, what time did you get the Roll Call e-mail with the presale password? The Toronto presale starts tomorrow, and still no e-mail. I know they said it would be e-mailed the day before, so I guess I'm just wondering what time today I should start worrying.

Well, it's 9:40 pm Eastern Time, and I haven't gotten an e-mail about the ticket pre-sale for tomorrow yet. Has anyone else?

I haven't yet. I'm trying to get the Peoria tickets. The only thing I have seen is a notice on Wilcos Facebook page for their presale code - the same as before TENACIOUS

[EverythingChanges]

Here's my dream Wilco set for this tour: 

Misunderstood
Dawned On Me
I'm The Man Who Loves You
Heavy Metal Drummer
Theologians
Hell is Chrome
Impossible Germany
Jesus, Etc.
At Least That's What You Said
Sunken Treasure
Spiders (Jim Collaboration)
Art of Almost

One Sunday Morning
What Light (Dylan Collaboration)
Via Chicago

What do ya'll think? I know it won't happen, but a guy can dream...

[e_wind]

At a ton of their how's they play heavy metal drummer --> I'm the man who loves you. So you'll get that at least

The big hitters I'm holding my breath for are Via Chicago, ALTWYS, One Sunday Morning, and maybe Hell is Chrome.  I could see them playing ALTWYS if anything.  Spiders would be super cool too. Fuck, I'm just excited to see Wilco for the first time!

Just got my email now. About 10:15 pm Eastern.

Of course the two shows I want are through two different sites, going to have to be stealthy to get the GA Pit it seems.

My e-mail came through a few minutes ago too! (It probably doesn't matter for the Nashville show though. I think it's all general admission at $68 per ticket...I think that's what I saw when I signed up for a Ticketfly account earlier today.)

I was wondering how Nashville was going to do it. So you think full GA for the whole venue?

[e_wind]

If its full GA thatd be awesome so I don't have to set my alarm.

Great story, Tracy!  Do you live in Memphis?  I lived there from 2002-2005.  I saw that Wilco show on the rooftop of the Gibson guitar factory, unusually cold Oct night, Wilco were wearing gloves with finger tips cut off just to play.  They said it was the coldest show they'd played and they are a Chicago band!
