I don't think that's the term that should be used, but I can see how someone might lump them in.

Wilco's a bit too progressive and experimental on-stage to be closely identified with Widespread Panic and the like.

Wilco is Wilco. That said, they def have some old school sound to em now. Steely Dan keeps coming to mind for some reason?

Is anyone going to see Wilco on the current tour? I'd love to go to Mobile, but I'm starting a new job that day and probably can't make the drive over in time.

I'm just pulling setlist from the shows so others can see how incrediably awesome this band is.

I listened to the radio last night and one of the announcers talked about how they came back out even after the lights were on etc so it did happen.

Last night i think Nels Cline's guitar was about to catch on fire. That is the only way i can think of for him to make the sound he did during Handshake drugs.

I love how before Kingpin Jeff asks if anyine is from Peaking or if the radio broadcast can be heard in Peaking

This band is all sorts of awesome.

Pekin! As in Pekin, Illinois. Its an hour south of chicago. Somebody in the crowd was from Pekin. That's why he asked. They apparently drove up each of the 4 nights. That part was covered on the radio broadcast.

Got an awesome boot from 90 of jeff tweedy, jay farrar, and the lead singer of the Bottle Rockets and a drummer. Playing at the old cicero's in st. louis.

They played 4 shows as coffee creek. Roughly 30 songs and almost all covers. it is pretty amazing.

In Austin in May at Stubbs. Really looking forward to their show

Wilco is NOT a jam band.

That is like calling Pearl Jam a jam band.

And I saw them twice in March. Freakin' sweet. $25 tickets.
