Oh, this IS lovely. I’m just such a fan of the joy these guys are so clearly showing while they’re playing. It makes me happy all over.

Thanks! That one of Luke was an instant favorite the second I saw it.

Will you be at the Kathleen Edwards show at Lincoln Hall later this month?

Great photos! I can’t wait to see what you produce in 2012. I really like the LSS and Luke Doucet pics, but they’re all outstanding.

Comment on Recommended Reading/(Not Really An) Album Review: NY Mag on Wilco’s The Whole Love by Mel

Glad it worked for you! I have to say, seeing them in Chicago is still on my bucket list (though it won’t be happening this year), and I think they’re a fantastic choice for your son’s first concert. Given what their last Chicago residency was like, I think you’re probably in for a real treat, especially at Lincoln Hall — I know I’ll be hunting down the tapes, for sure.

I was waiting for your review Mel, and I think you nailed it. I actually downloaded the album leak, and then found myself guilted into buying it on release day, and strangely haven’t listened to it since then. I’ve listened to a lot of Wilco recently, but just not their last two records. “Meh” is right.

On the other hand, I picked up tickets to all FIVE of their Chicago shows. The first night (an all ages show) I’m taking my young son to his first real concert. But then, as they released dates for their ever-shrinking portable residency, I found that I just couldn’t stop myself. Seeing them at the Riv? Okay. The Vic? Sure. The Metro? Gasp! Lincoln Hall? ZOMG! No matter how “meh” this record is, getting Wilco into those clubs should produce SOMETHING worth seeing. I missed my chances to see them in small clubs, so hopefully this will make up for it.
