@everythingchanges you are very right. that drum beat is sick.  any who i just made a post/thread about Tweedy separate from this thread and it was long and rambling like i do.  So you know check it out.  Let's talk about the record a bit.  I'm enjoying the hell of out of it.  and i've only listened three times roughly.  I can't wait for the tenth where i'm well versed with the 20 songs and i'm ready to really say whether or not i love, enjoyed, or just thought it was ok because it is so rare for me to say i didn't like music.  I think the only time i did that was when a psychedelic orchestra played after my friends indie band and it was just screeching on violins and violas to random snare beats.  Really tests the nerves.  i'm out.
Can you keep it simple? Can you let the snare crack? Can you let it move without holding back?

I'm loving the new Tweedy. Each listen is better than the last. Either I'm completely infatuated with JT, and think he can do wrong, or he's done it again and proved that he can do no wrong.
don't rock bottom, just listen just slow down...

I'm really digging it too, e. I'm waiting for the CD (shush) to arrive so I can play it loud on my home stereo. I wish I could have caught one of the Tweedy shows to hear this stuff live. I wonder if any of these will make their way into a Wilco set list anytime soon?

basically anything from this album sounds like wilco could pull it off... thinking diamond light, world away and nobody dies anymore would be great with nels and the gang..

If they do 2 set, 36 song, 3 hour shows at the Cap, I'm going to be fucking PISSED that I missed it!   :grin: :grin: :grin:

Take me back to 2008 and 2010 Wilco tours when they did this night after night.  Apologies to Glenn's hands and Nels' neck in advance.  In 2011, Glenn told me they'd do this again someday, I hope that day has come, but I really wonder if he and Nels can take it.  They ain't spring chickens anymore.

So the 3 nights in Tennessee are done and holy shit those were some great setlists!  30 song shows, no repeats for 2 nights at the Ryman and then a whole bunch of other great songs in Knoxville.  I am fucking bummed I am now missing the Ryman, 3 nights at the Cap AND 5 nights in Chicago.  They didn't announce their tour plans for this year until after all my concert travel money was spent, that sucks.

People who are going to these shows should be fucking stoked if they keep this 20th anniversary thing going.  Lucky bastards!

I was just coming here to comment about how awesome the setlists are looking after the first three. Really glad to see no repeats at the Ryman. They didn't even play anything from W(TA) or TWL on night 2, crazy! If they go no repeats during the entire PC run I'll be thrilled. It should be the shit regardless.

That Knoxville setlist is probably the best set I've seen (not in person, just on the internetz).
I wonder why we listen to poets when nobody gives a fuck

I have an extra ticket for the show tonight in Raleigh

Shug

Yeah, Knoxville looked great with the return of At Least That's What You Said, Company In My Back, Country Disappeared, One Wing, Ashes and then At My Window Sad and Lonely, The Lonely 1, Passenger Side and unamplified acoustic Misunderstood, wow so many nuggets in there. 

Hope they bring this tour out west in 2015!

I scored a GA ticket for tomorrow at the Cap for $60 off of craigslist today and could not be more excited.  Money is tight, but I couldnt justify missing all of these shows, especially after seeing these recent setlists.

I'm going to the Tuesday Wilco  Cap show also.  Would be great to see you there.
was some shakin' and some record playin'

Angelo

I hope to see you there HH. I think we're hitting up Bartaco before the show if anyone is interested.

Ryman night 2 is my favorite Wilco set list ever (after 60+ shows). Amazing in every regard.

Those of you going to the Cap have a blast! You're in for an amazing run.

Anyone doing any of Chicago? I'll be there at least the last two nights .
God sure baked a lot of fruitcake, baby.

e_wind

I'm considering to a couple nights of Chicago. Probably only two, as 6 would be a lot of time of work and a lot of money.
don't rock bottom, just listen just slow down...

bartel

the killed it on fallon... great song choices.

Sassbox

Set list tonight is ridiculous.

Promising? COME THE F*CK ON!

what time did they finish? I am thinking about going tonight

Angelo

They finished a little after 10:30 last night but suspect they play a little later tonight. That's nothing but a hunch on my part.
