Neil Young/Wilco:
12/12/2008 The Spectrum Philadelphia, PA
12/13/2008 DCU Center Boston, MA
12/15/2008 Madison Square Garden New York, NY

Personally, I hate his music (with the expection of some of that Massey Hall album and On the Beach), but it goes beyond that. I feel like if you're still kind of (relatively) an up-and-coming rock band getting more mainstream attention, the last person I'd want to go on tour with is Neil Young. Why? a) he's just another aging boomer relic who is pulling out the "rares" in order to wow the audience that grew up on his hits while simultaneously egging on your overzealous critic fans to give you more praise than you deserve. Each member of your band can singlehandedly outperform him and has made better records on their bad days than this guy's best days. however, due to the novelty fact that "he's freaking Neil Young!" you'll never be given the credit ('you' being Wilco) you really deserve.

I mean, come on, to be fair, I don't like Neil Young but I think we could all agree here Wilco puts him out of business in terms of actual showmanship. His songs, not that he can help it, are either given a folk rock or grunge rock treatment and they never are given the room to breath life. Whereas, you have a band like Wilco, with two superhuman musicians and probably the most likable singer-songwriter in his age group playing songs of more dense emotional (okay, opinion) and musical (this however I feel is fact) complexities– the craftsmanship of the mentioned bringing a tight yet spaced out sound. I feel like Wilco going on tour with that guy is Wilco not giving themselves enough credit. Yeah, he's Neil Young, but you're doing now what he did yesterday in terms of making contemporary, fresh, new sounding music. You're not recycling as much as your contemporaries are, the music you make is as new now is his was then. You should be the ones on stage, you can't help it that the music business has (for the most part) aged more intelligently than him and you get overlooked.

don't get me wrong. if you wanna go see Neil Young, go see Neil Young. But everyone should be going ape over getting to see him open for Wilco, not the other way around. I'm sure I'm the only one that feels this way, I'm sure I sound backwards to probably 99% of the people here.

Wilco has some good songs, but they've got nothing that even remotely compares to Cortez the Killer, Cowgirl in the Sand, Like a Hurricane, Broken Arrow, Into the Black, hell, I could go on and on. Wilco is a good band, don't get me wrong, but Neil has more classic songs on some of his individual albums than Wilco has in their entire canon.

And I don't know, but I've seen both of them perform numerous times, and have many boots of both, and Neil crushes Wilco live, not even a contest. Neil stretches out his songs, fucks with them, turns them around, loudens the quiet ones and quiets the loud ones, and tries new things WAY more than Wilco does. Tweedy has some great instrumentalists but they pretty much play the songs as they are on the albums.

Plus, Neil has done classic work in multiple genres – and he's just as likely to have Sonic Youth open for him as he would Wilco.

Also, Jeff Tweedy is a total grump.

Please note, that rant came from a Wilco message board. Not from me. I'm just lazy in not quoting.

I like Neil, I like Wilco. I'd love to see that show come to DC.

I was just about to ask where you copy/pasted that from.

these wilco fans are smoking the crack pipe or something. i mean come on! really! neil young should open for wilco?? on what planet?

and i've seen wilco and followed them since they started as i was really into uncle tupelo's anodyne…and wilco did deliver memorable FUN shows early on .. iremember one where old 97s opened for them at 930..now that was fun!

but for the past seven years and particularly since they got rid of jay bennett the band has been a snoozefest!

i'm probably the only one, but this struck me as a mildly juvenile move (copying a ridiculous text and not attributing).

charles, i appreciate your shit-disturbing - but let's be honest about it. too easy to go out and find such passages, then "be lazy" about where it came from. it's hard enough divining what the context is behind what people write online, having people be deceitful about it somehow seems unfair. but again, it's probably just me.

Chill out Sweetie. I know this message board is your life, but to some of us, this message board is just a place to waste time.

Good call. But life changes. My current workdays don't allow me to be the organizer of online fantasy football leagues, and my current and future homelife doesn't allow me to post LONG incoherent rants about Wilco and Neil Young. Sure, I stil post regularly, but my life necessitates SHORT posts. If anything I post is longer than this here paragraph, please assume it's a cut and paste. ;)

I believe that the above is an Iota show, btw…

OnTap Magazine has a discount code for the Regeneration Tour thing at Wolf Trap: lovethe80s

25% off in-house tickets. It's not a presale or anything, so the seats aren't great. But if you're going anyway - 25%-off certainly helps.
