    Just a heads up, The Current, (89.3) is supposed to streaming their show in Mpls tonight. (Anyone out there able to record it so I can have a copy? I'm going, otherwise I would). :)

    wish they'd do tomorrow's show instead. between trying to periscope wrigley, the last tragically hip show streaming on youtube, wilco on the current, and metallica on pandora, i won't know which end is up tonight.

    Anybody have thoughts on Sunday's show? I'm a bit torn about how I feel about their new music and how mellow their shows seem to have become. Maybe it's seeing PJ the next night and unfairly comparing the two that makes me feel that way though. I was very happy to hear some Being There and even AM and Summerteeth but I'm not really liking the whole hootenanny thing to end the shows. I wouldn't mind there being a first encore and then coming out for a killer, rocking second encore. Who knows, I'm rambling and tired from traveling I suppose.
    I'm through with screaming

    I've seen them live quite a bit, I didn't really like it much either. I don't mind accoustic stuff mid set or for first encore, but not how I would like shows to end.

    Looks like a bunch of stores are having listening parties on for Schmilco on Sept 6th. May try to make it to Rough Trade!

    Right, it just kind of ended I thought. Jeff didn't seem very talkative, either, especially for a hometown show. I've been to 20+ Wilco/Tweedy/JT solo shows and have definitely heard much more banter from him.

    Yeah I noticed that too. Having said that, I did notice he seemed to have a big smile on his face the whole time. In any case, it wasn't my favorite show of theirs, but it was an incredible venue that's for sure.

    I'm planning on giving it a few spins over the weekend. I did hear a couple songs live in Chicago a few weeks back and I liked them but we all know live sounds different than the album version, especially when it comes to Wilco. After their last few albums I've learned not to get my hopes up and I'm ok with that. I'll always have Being There and Summerteeth and the Mermaid Avenue albums to soothe my disappointment.

    I honestly haven't heard it yet. Heard the singles they released and those were good.
    I have the vinyl but no turntable yet. Ha
    Got the digital download code, but haven't downloaded it yet...

    Is the indie version the opaque one?
