Wilco!!!

Aside from some afternoon bar hopping after work, the evening turned even better with a trip to see WILCO! We had the extreme good fortune of seeing them last October at Iroquois Amphitheater, in what I think was the best concert venue I've experienced personally. This year they've crept closer to the big leagues, moving to our local AAA baseball stadium, Slugger Field. To be honest, I was skeptical of the layout, as you never know what you get with mini-stadium shows, but the night, and the band, proved to be superior yet again. This is a band that has just flat out found its collective groove. Jeff is approaching 40 seems to be in a somewhat nostalgic mood, choosing to wear a A.M.-era hat and they played 4 or 5 tracks from that album. I just saw a recent blurb on a message board about the great poster, and here it is, and NO, I didn't buy one b/c I'm a dumbass. Nice design. It just rocked all round and had a nice blend of old and new. And I love how they can meld acoustic folk with all-out walls of noise. Love it.
