I was so damned happy with that Ashes Opener and The Lonely 1 closer  :cheesy:
God sure baked a lot of fruitcake, baby.

Thanks Eric.  I'm going to check out those tunes again.

I agree about the closing song of their set.  Amazing slow song of which I could even understand most the lyrics, which were terrific.

I was too busy thinking about what wasn't happening (MMJ coming onstage a song with Wilco) to properly enjoy The Lonely 1. 

I also didn't really like it as the final song of the set.  Wilco usually seems to play it as the final song these days, but the final encore in a full set is pretty different to me than the final song of one of these shorter sets.  I just wanted to go out on a more rocking note.

Victory Dance was fucking EVIL  :evil:

Yes!  So true.  It was a bummer that Gideon was cut, but very cool to see them extend out the ending of Victory Dance.  The ending of that song is so amazing, but over way too quick usually.

Well I must say I did enjoy this show overall, but the highlight was Rob and wife's hospitality as we really enjoyed the pre-gaming and can't wait to do it again next time theres a show at MPP.

Jackets set was solid with Don't do it, Steam, TWTHS were great selections and Carried Away was just awesome.  Like I said previously the crowd seemed into it and Jim was passing out used towels to people and this one girl that was right beside of us got one which was nice as she was at the show with her father.  The one thing that is missing from the set was more banter, but with quick sets theres just no time.  The long Steam cost us Gideon, but we got that one last night so no worries there.

Wilco underwhelmed me majorly on this night, except for Art of Almost which is pretty awesome.  With that said Nels is a fucking beast on the guitar, by far my favorite part of their set for me.  Lastnight however I really liked the set, I never knew they sung Box Full of Letters, as that was one of my favorite songs a local pirate radio station used to play when I was growing up but never caught the name of the group so it was a walk down memory lane for me.

Dylan for me was a terrible experience overall.  The band was great, but you could barely understand anything he was saying.  It was kind of shocking to see the exdus during the set as at least a 1/3 of the people left during it, probably due to how bad he sounded.  Plus I didn't like how he never addressed the crowd or really said anything.

Another thing that bothered me was while we were at the rail the security guys kept on trying to enforce the no photos policy and kept on getting in front of us while pointing to people in the back of the pit.  That was more bothersome than the phones IMO and I was so glad VB didn't care at all so there were no issues there.

Still it was a great day in all accounts, glad to see everyone once again and can't wait to do it all again.
