Man, there's one band that I've loved for a long time that I hadn't seen perform live...until last night. Had a great time seeing Wilco play. It was an outdoor concert, so no reserved seating, which I didn't like, but that was the only thing. They have such a great stage presence, and Jeff can be such a comedian. Not a single boring moment in the whole show. Plus watching Nels shred up his guitar was amazing! You can tell by watching them that they're all enjoying themselves so much up there, it's great to see!

    Their Ghost is Born show here was possibly my favorite concert experience. They rocked the house.

    Glad that Nels survived his bout with the chicken pox. :D

    Wilco is aces!

    He was hilarious towards the end, I think at the start of the second to last song...misunderstood I think...he stood up behind his drum kit with his arms raised in a v and spun his drumsticks...it was rockin! Plus he just pounded the crap out of that song, a great drummer!

    Nice. He usually does that before I'm the man who loves you. I think Jeff urges him to do it because Jeff thinks it is funny.

    Yes. He definitely did that in Atlanta, in his dry, comfortable spot underneath the pavillion, while us peasants got drenched.

    Funny moment! Glad this band has a sense of humor about themselves. There was a time when that wasn't so much the case.
