    Although I respect YHFT as one of the greatest of all time, you need to listen to A Ghost is Born because I think it's the best album of theirs. Kicking Television is also an exceptional disc as far as live, definatly worth a listen. It will continue from there.

    simply put
    one of top three American bands right now (PJ, MMJ and Wilco)

    although I love YHFT and GIB

    sky blue sky is the most played on my Itunes-a tremendous record

    and the "evening with" tour last year was the best shows Ive seen in a long time

    Congrats to those with Tix to see 2011 shows

    Release for new record will be fall 2011.

    I agree with the above poster that Mmj, pj and Wilco are the 3 best bands right now.

    In case anyone is interested, Wilco cleaned out their warehouse and is selling a ton of old posters on their web site for $25. I was able to pick up the poster from the first concert I ever went to with my wife!

    Yes. I saw them open for tweedy about a year ago up in tarrytown, NY

    Pretty good, a 70s vibe.

    Wilco just announced 2 shows at Red Rocks, as well as a show at a minor league baseball stadium near Chicago! It would be so cool to see them play at a small ballpark!

    A few more shows added on the west coast!

    I am being a good boy, and just going to the Hollywood Bowl show.....6 shows in 3 countries in 11 months won't be enough, but the travel expenses add-up way too quickly, even for a short-hop to Berkeley or Reno.
