Wilco

Stream Wilco's shows from St Louis 5/15 - 5/17 on their website (check the 5/16 show with backing strings) : http://wilcoworld.net/roadcase/index_stlouis-archive.php I know...I know..music is art and is therefore subjective. That being said, someone please let me know if there is a better band out there right now making albums and playing live shows?!? These guys are doing it for me big time in the here and now.

i apologize. i should have posted this about a month ago. must remember: blog to mog, blog to mog Wednesday, March 05, 2008 well, i went to the wilco show on monday at the mobile civic center theater. john doe opened for them. damn, i haven't heard anything from that guy since he was in X. they played well. closed his set with a guest appearance from (guitar genius and wilco six stringer) nels cline. they ripped into a kick ass cover of the Rolling Stones "Gimmie Shelt...

I've been dabbling in Wilco for some time now, but for some reason it is just not clicking with me. I've heard nothing but good things about this band, so I have to ask.. Is this some kind of acquired taste? Just trying to give it a fair shot.

San Francisco...I am starting to get jealous. The line-up for this summer's inaugural Outside Lands Festival is shaping up to be one of the hottest. Joining headliners Radiohead, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and Jack Johnson will be Beck, Wilco (whose tune "Walken" is currently spinning on my iTunes) and Widespread Panic. The three-day festival will take place at San Francisco's historic Golden Gate Park August 22nd to 24th, 2008. Rodrigo y Gabriela, Cold War Kids, Ma... MORE

Wilco will kick-off their U.S. tour on April 30 in Rochester, MN. Featuring two nights at Stubb's in Austin and two nights at The Pageant in St. Louis, MO, tickets are sure to sell out quickly. Pre-sale for most dates begins March 19, more info at http://www.wilcoworld.net/tours. As an extra bonus to all ye faithful fans, the band is also giving you the opportunity to request songs for the upcoming shows. If you ask nice, Jeff just might play your favorite song ever. You...

In case you missed it, Wilco was the guest band on Saturday Night Live last week. The videos don't last long on youTube, so it's actually quite difficult to find online. Thanks to MuzzleOfBees I found this more stable video: There was a great performance of "Walken" with Jeff Tweedy in a naked suit, but it keeps getting yanked off the video sites...

...because Wilco's music is otherworldly

Here's a page with a stream of the 2/27 Wilco Show from 9:30 Club in DC. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=19271953 You can hear John Doe too.

I suggest heading to npr.org right now to check out Wilco's show streaming live from Washington D.C.'s 9:30 Club. I caught them at the Shubert Theatre on Sunday night and I gotta tell you....I was completely sucked in. The crowd and band were one on this night in this intimate room. I have not experienced that feeling in a long while. My friend Bryan said it best, "sonic bliss". I have not been on the Wilco train since the beginning but I am now glad to have a seat o... MORE

Received an email from Wilco HQ that their Washington DC concert will be streamed live tonight. John Doe(of the legendary band X) will be opening starting at 8:00 pm EST. Go to the NPR website NPR.org to stream the concert here Also the email says that Wilco will be performing on NBC's Saturday Night Live this coming saturday, so check it out too! Enjoy!

Sunday, 4pm I'm just waking up from a lazy afternoon nap, as I sit down at the 'puter a post goes up; "Wilco, New Haven, tonight, I have one extra ticket", huh, Susan's sick in bed and I haven't been to a show in what seems like ages. I go to the post and it's Jameson, my Mog buddy from Providence that I've never met face to face but have repeatedly promised each other that we'd hook up for a show sooner or later. So Jameson is trying to talk Cody into coming up from NY fo... MORE

The new Wilco Album Sky Blue Sky is fantastic. I've only been into these guys for a few years mostly because my ear wasn't developed enough for their earlier stuff... wasn't into the twang rock. Now I love it. But what pulled me in was their Ghost is Born album and their live show. The live experience for me is the most powerful and these guys are great to see. They jam out the tunes and the band is friggin amazing. The new album is almost all good tunes but here is one fa... MORE

Who went? Need some reviews! Setlists look amazing.
