*Roll Call* Chicago/Toyota park Friday July 12, 2013

[murraygrajeda]

We have an extra ticket for tonight's show. A friend had to go out of town for work at the last minute. Any roll-callers (or others) interested in a face value, section B1 ticket?

I will be taking this performance in from GA/Pit. Wilco's too. After that it'll be like doing laundry at a coin operated landromat, except instead of quarters, the length of my stay will be determined on a song-by-song basis.

I'm curious about Wilco because I just recently began listening to them (Yankee & Ghost in particular), but I have a hard time imagining their material translate into a mind-blowing live experience. Beyond Yankee & Ghost, their material seems incredibly vanilla.

I haven't seen them; however, I listen to their incredible live album Kicking Television, Live in Chicago all of the time. They seem like they would be incredible live. They can't touch MMJ in terms of energy or power, but from what I have heard, they can draw you in much the same way MMJ can. I am excited for them. Check out a live version of Impossible Germany and just listen to the epic guitar solo.

Your ass is about to get your panties rocked off, son...just wait

I have a feeling when you post here after the wilco show your opinion that wilco doesn't bring as much energy and power will be changed...I'm pretty sure I agree with the point you are trying to make, it's a different kind of experience from the jacket...but the energy and power are there for sure, they just present themselves in different ways, I hope that makes sense, I think you will agree with me after you watch their show

[tippitoes22]

Nope. I'm here. They're vanilla.

I have to agree. You know that while I liked Wilco, I was kind of meh about seeing them. I enjoyed them greatly. They paired perfectly with Jacket.

I can understand Wilco not being someone's cup of tea, so to speak, but to say they are vanilla I feel is just kind of an ignorant statement.

Opinions are opinions so I mean no disrespect, but whether you like them or not I don't know anyone that's ever described them as "vanilla" or more appropriately, boring, which is what you are getting at.

[spence]

Slow slow tune again.  That song has been getting a lotta love  this summer.   

[bartel]

Totally disagree with wilco being boring.. Equal fav band or me and their live show is fantastic.

[Crispy]

Nope. I'm here. They're vanilla.

Vanilla is fucking delicious, then.

[YimYodd]

Still another opinion. ....
I just can't get into wilco, and I've listened for many years and saw them in Indy last week. Nothing terrible to write about them , I just don't see why most folks rate them so high.
I think Tweedy is rather vanilla- to use tippietoes22 word. Nels is good, but definitely not anywhere near the top of my list of guitarists I wanna listen to.
1 eyed_Jack - boring may not describe them, but here's a couple of similar views posted in last few days, just on the How big have the crowds been for Americanarama?thread.

rusty95 - "Wilco about put me to sleep  "

Jon T. - "As excited as I was to see Wilco, after MMJ's set they became kind of an afterthought to me. "

To each his own......

This is a MMJ board.  I get you get similar sentiments about MMJ on a Wilco board.

Ps I also love vanilla.

I Luv Chocolate- vanilla is just not as good! Imo
