Wilco - Sky Blue Sky

Agreed. I dunno why they're closing Voodoo Fest.

Perhaps because bassist John Stirratt is a New Orleans native?

I agree that they're not the most obvious choice for a big festival closer, but it would be hard for almost anyone to follow Rage Against the Machine as a co-headliner at the same festival.

No matter. I'll be at Voodoo soaking up some great Sunday night Wilco!

Sky Blue Sky has been a really great album to chill to this summer, and I look forward to seeing them perform again on this tour.

i can't state enough how much i love this album.
album of the year!

It is right up there for me with Dinosaur Jr- Beyond as albums I am enjoying the most this year.

Either Way is about as good of a song to open an album as I can remember..

On and on and on as an ender is a close second to Reservations from YHF in terms of album closers for them, but it's weird probably my two favorite songs on this album are the first and last tunes.

Tons of cool stuff on the site itself, the girl who does it is a huge Pearl Jam fan,(Heather) so everyone here should find lots of goodies on it.

Wilco is on Austin City Limits tonight!

They were great on ACL. I mean really really good!

Nels Cline takes the band to a new level. His Musicianship paired with Glen's and the rest of the band gelling with them is amazing.

Ah crap I missed it! Any chance for a re-run in the near future? Hopefully they'll sell it on dvd. I have an early Son Volt performance on ACL and it was recorded it DTS. Very nice.

I don;'t think it will be replayed soon, but i'd keep an eye out in afew months they usually do re shows.

I finally got to see ACL last night. The performance was overwhelmingly great. Yeah, I was actually overwhelmed. I swear I'm falling more and more in love with this band every day.

I too have the Son Volt DVD , and it's so nice seeing a full ACL program. I'd love it if Wilco ended up releasing the full show on DVD eventually. Better yet, they could release all three of their appearances - I've never seen the first one. Too bad Uncle Tupelo never appeared on the show . . .

I have not seen the first one either and would love to see it.

I was actually listening to some uncle tupelo last night:)

Nice!

I had my iPod on shuffle last night and I think at least every third song that came up was Uncle Tupelo, Wilco, Son Volt or Jay Farrar. I try to vary my listening, but I can't get away from these guys! I need a bigger iPod so that I can fit some more music in there.
