new wilco album/tour

[Still-ill]

I kept looking at my watch and was shocked at how long they played knowing they had four more nights to go. I think it was 3 hour show. Then for them to come back and play another six songs and the last three about as high energy as you could get. I think the temperature outside was 8 degrees as well and on night two Tweedy had hot chocolate delivered to all the fans in line.

Whats better the three hour wilco show or free hot chocolate... that's the toughest decision I've ever pondered.

They played three hours every night of the residency so it was a win win for the night two folks.

Hot chocolate it is then.

New album in a month and not a single new song played. I love it. I wonder at which point they will start throwing them into the mix.

[TomAz]

yeah I am assuming the June shows would be loaded with new songs?

[familyguy420]

Just got my LA wiltern tickets!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TomAz]

are you bragging or taunting or what?

[familyguy420]

Just really happy because they kept selling out real fast

[TallGuyCM]

Nice...one of the better ticket-acquiring feelings of the year for sure!

[faxman75]

They'll be playing much more Sky Blue Sky material at Bonnaroo though... just sayin.

Summerteeth is probably the better album of the two, but I love them both so you can do no wrong on that choice.

What makes you think you know how much Sky Blue Sky is going to be played at Roo?

[Aurgasm]

Wilco w/Grizzly Bear has to be the best combo for a single night show. anyone else have something else?

[TomAz]

best ever anywhere? or best in arizona this summer? can't disagree with the latter.

best combo with Wilco... im not sure who else they are playing with on single night shows..

[TomAz]

oh yeah you're right on that.

[faxman75]

I still like Calexico better than Grizzly Bear as they have a fuller catalog and that combo was one of the best shows ever seen.

So, IMO Wilco/Calexico > Wilco/Grizzly Bear

I'll see how I feel after the show though.

[sbessiso]

Ahhh I popped Summerteeth in my stereo and it wouldnt play it!!! This is the actual album too. I wonder if its a sign? I should try Sky Blue Sky

[TomAz]

Summerteeth is like Norman Bates and Sky Blue Sky is like Oprah Winfrey.

[TallGuyCM]

Wilco w/Grizzly Bear has to be the best combo for a single night show. anyone else have something else?

That is the winner...but Explosions in the Sky/No Age/Eluvium is pretty damn good as well.

Edit: Didn't know you meant just Wilco shows.

[sbessiso]

One is scary and the other one is fucking awesome?

[faxman75]

Maybe you will like Sky Blue Sky Salah, but Summerteeth is way better. Songs of drugs, killing girlfriends and it takes you though all different emotions while rocking hard.

If you want wicked poetry you start with Via Chicago, if you want wild crazy love songs then go to "i'm always in love" or maybe you just want some straight forward rock like "ELT" or poppy rock like "Candy Floss".

[sbessiso]

My stereo physically just wouldnt play the album though. I'll try again in a sec. Like it read the number of tracks but then it just wouldnt play

[TomAz]

That's exactly the point I was making.

[TallGuyCM]

I hate it when that happens.

[sbessiso]

Give it a little wipe, sometimes that helps. If not, just go to sky blue sky but keep your expectations low. Some highlites are Nels ultra jazzy guitar solos in You are My Face and Impossible Germany. It's more layed back than Summerteeth.

[TomAz]

Sky Blue Sky has some really great songs on it. but lyrically it gets a little too 12-Steppish for my tastes. "Please Be Patient With Me". "Leave Me Like You Found Me". Each a perfectly earnest soft rocker.

[sbessiso]

OK, so I got sidetracked last night and never got around to doing my Wilco research. But im scrolling through my itunes and just saw that I have A Ghost is Born on here! WTF??

Im listening to Handshake Drugs now and it makes me feel all warm inside. I WILL get to know Wilco before Bonnaroo goddammit

[Aurgasm]

lies

[sbessiso]

Sorry, I wish I would rave rave rave. What bands on the mainstage??? Im going to DANCE
