Ween and Wilco...

[walkonby]

i remember when i had front row seats at "dar" to see wilco being opened up by sonic youth, last year.  sonic youth rocked the place and i was the only one standing up; having a hell of a good time.  everyone else just sat there like a folk implosion video waiting to happen, thinking "who does this sonic tooth band think they are?"  then when wilco comes out, the place goes lazy crazy.  i sit through three or four songs and realize that this band's sound is rock lite; sort of a r.e.m. meets pearl jam meets brooks and dunn.  i left my front row seat behind after song five.  but back to the almighty boognish known as WEEN.  the place to see them this summer (other that 9:30, of cource)will definetly be bonaroo at the "late night tent".  lord only knows what they'll pull out there.

I don't know --- this Ween/Wilco thing just doesn't work for me:

Hopefully they'll pull you away from here, never to return.

I didn't go to the DAR show, but a friend who had gone to both 9:30 club shows (which I thought were excellent) as well as the DAR show said the latter show wasn't as good.  Which isn't surprising.  It's DAR.  DAR DAR DAR.  Nice looking building, though.

I think I've mentioned this on other threads but as someone who's been seeing Wilco live for a good 6/7 years now, I think their live show has decreased in overall enjoyment as it becomes more and more of an 'event', now that they're and 'important' band
 
 didn't see the DAR show - I remember tix being too expensive for me to justify it

i know some people who went to the DAR show, and apparently the show was quite good until some guy was getting his picture taken with the band sort of as a background, and jeff got pissed off...supposedly, the show was cut short on account of his damaged mood.  needless to say, the guy may have got the picture, but probably didn't make any friends that night.

 bring your own painkillers with which to pelt Mr. Tweedy.

i went to the DAR show, and i think it was a bad mix. i am a bigger sonic youth fan, granted, but wilco was a bit of a downer after sy. not because they weren't good, just their songs are slower. i had a good time, not really complaining. kind of like the new one, that one really long song just ruins the flow.

What are you smoking?  Find a band that can stand up to Wilco, just try.

Throw a rock and you'll hit one.

The show at the Chance in Poughkeepsie sold tickets for $25 each. How about using that as the business model, 9:30?

The Chance is this dinky, pretty run down club 80 miles from a major city.  Though I have very fond memories of Tommy Keene playing there, basically to me and my friends....it's decorated to look like a ship.  Very funny place, like so many places in Poughkeepsie....
