I hate to be that guy but I liked them before YHF and before they shitcanned Jay Bennett. AM/Being there/Summerteeth/Mermaid Avenue and Mermaid Avenue 2

This is the correct Wilco take minus whatever Mermaid Avenue is. YHF is the last listenable thing they did, not the start of something good.

June 12, 1995, the original 9:30 Club. Plenty of Uncle Tupelo covers.

yeah, wasn't really into them until being there...so missed out on this tour
got some early being there songs too
Was Jay Bennet on that tour?

I specifically recall not seeing Jay Bennett at the 1995 9:30 show.
A better question was who *was* playing with them....I believe it was Jeff, John, Ken Coomer, Max Johnston, and maybe Brian Henneman (also of the Bottle Rockets.) Wiki helped me a bit with this. It's been a long time.

As an aside, I also recall seeing Brian Henneman and the Bottle Rockets open for Matthew Sweet at the 9:30 (and blow him away, imo) in January 1994. Good times.

Not sure if they're my favorites, but my first two Wilco shows:

October 31, 1996, The Ritz, Raleigh. Coheadlining gig with Squirrel Nut Zippers on Halloween night. Four of the five band members wore dresses (all except Tweedy.) It was not a pretty site.

Was anybody else at the Jay Bennett/Edward Burch show at Iota?

I wish I had been at iota! How was it!?

Good show. No idea if Jay was under the influence of anything. My wife was a big Jay fan. Not that one has to choose sides.

How can you say Sky Blue Sky is not listenable? It's probably their most listenable album. Some (not me) would argue too listenable.

Also, I initually found A Ghost is Born to be unlistenable. But over time, it became one of my favorites. Probably second or third, behind Being There and maybe Summerteeth.

was wondering what happened to brian Henneman, so looked like he and the bottle rockets were poised to do well with Alt-country
but they kinda got left in the dust

an update was made...and likely no one noticed

2021
On March 2, 2021, the band announced its retirement, for reasons as posted to its public Facebook account: "It’s with a sad heart that we announce this uneasy news: Brian has decided to retire from the Bottle Rockets. Although he’s in good health, he’s been feeling the passage of time and has lost interest in anything that distracts from or takes him away from home. Unfortunately, this means the Bottle Rockets can’t continue as we know it."[47]

Well I am not picking sides..Tweedy is the main guy…but Jay contributed..he wasn’t frickin parsley 🌿 or something like people think…Wilco will be celebrating 20th of YHF with box..you think they will be releasing Jay mixes? No. That was the follow up to summerteeth!

I wish I had gone to the Iota show but not sure I even knew about it…I feel like I was taking a step back from concerts..traveling for work

I do not have that conflict.

Actually, Brian Henneman's retirement was discussed on the Wilco fans Facebook group. Vas is a member, and it looks like Shemp is too.
The Bottle Rockets had become Birchmere regulars, both as the Bottle Rockets and as Marshall Crenshaw's backing band. I hadn't seen them in years due to my Birchmere aversion, but wish they had done a farewell tour.

I don't think exclamation points indicate existential dread the way you seem to think they do.
