    I was just asking. I didn't realize cigarettes and alcohol were  prerequirements to enjoying a show. If that were the case, I feel sorry for our good friend Kosmo.
 
   

You know based on this thread I was beginning to wonder if I should start dumping vast parts of my record collection (i.e. all the greatest hits, singles comps, early career records, power pop, etc) and go out and buy the "correct" records with lots of experimentation and wank.  Now I find out why I can't enjoy shows either...

Well we lasted 73 minutes before we had to bail.
 
 Can someone think of an intelligent way to say "Wilco's new songs blow chunks?"
 
 What a disappointment.
 
 Think I'll stick to the Drive By Truckers, BR549, and the Old 97's when I want a good show.

Wilco's journey into the unknown left me nostalgic for the good olde days.

Looks like they saved a few oldies for the encores, but I was gone by that point.

I was ready to be disappointed, but it was not as bad as I thought it would be.  I liked Hummingbird.  That being said, I didn't enjoy it as much as the shows a couple of years ago.

Great show.  I thought they sounded as excellent last night as any of the four other times I've seen them. Perhaps even better. Complain about the song selections if you like, but Tweedy's voice was strong and the band was tight. Two thumbs up.

What's the deal with Tweedy's hair?
 
 What an awful mess.

I didn't like the song selection
 
 but I agree that the band sounded very good

I think Tweedy has finally found the perfect sidemen: guys who are technically very efficient, but incredibly boring to look at and watch. Man, I miss Jay Bennett.

[challenged]

great show.  i actually like the new songs, although a 10 minute song in an encore seemed self-indulgent.
 
 It was great to see Tweedy happy, smiling, posing, etc.

via chicago made my night. i've never seen them play it and was beginning to think i'd have to fly to chicago and see them there to hear it.  nels is a bombastic guitarist and great addition to the band...i do miss leroy tho.
 
 overall, it was a fantastic show...not the best i've seen them do, but it's certainly up there...and i'll second freddy's earlier comment about being surrounded by wankers.  from what i've read of this morning's posts, it sounds like most of you pseudo wilco fans should have sold your tix outside or on ebay to true fans who really would have appreciated the show.

you're an idiot

I also thought last night was the shortest crowd I've ever seen.  Honestly, the median height for males at the show couldn't have been much over 5' 6"
