The first night show got great reviews so I was psyched to see them the second night; however, that was not to be. WILCO canceled due to Jeff Tweedy's mom being ill. They said "don't worry we'll be back". They never came back as far as I know and I never collected on tickets. Thus WILCO still owes me $50.
That being said...I still can't wait to see them tomorrow night at Popejoy Hall. They are one of my favorite bands. I do plan to rush the stage though and collect my money from Jeff so if I do not report back I could probably use some bail money.
I can highly recommend the SUMMERTEETH and SKY BLUE SKY cd's by WILCO. I love and recommend their entire catalog actually.
Also of note is the new cd BRIGHTER THAN CREATIONS DARK by DRIVE-BY TRUCKERS
Suggested downloads include TWO DAUGHTERS AND A BEAUTIFUL WIFE, SELF DESTRUCTIVE ZONES, DADDY NEEDS A DRINK, THE HOME FRONT and the exceptional THE RIGHTEOUS PATH.
I'm out.

I think I'm developing a serious blog-crush on you. Most of my friends think my attachment to the Drive By Truckers is pretty inexplicable....
Hey thanks Jay!! I'm very psyched to get to see the Drive-by Truckers having only recently discoverd them. I found this great place up in Santa Fe that brings lots of alt.country bands in. Check out Santafebrewing.com.
Last night Mason Jennings and Bret Dennen played but I was not able to make that show -- found out too late. Next up though, The Derailers, Drive-by's and Reverend Horton Heat to name a few.
I'm out.
PS -- Ya hear that Craig!!! You Baltimore 'city-boi' you're missing out -- now go buy their cd dang it!!
