But Wilco’s last few albums probably are selling less than 100,000 copies


It’s just that old fans still dig the old tunes so they go see them live


Most people don't buy albums anymore, or so I've read.

You are such a contrarian


Whatever the equivalent of buying albums is today


Ok?

I mean I think the bestselling album chart now counts streaming as sales

So you don’t like the classics or the new cuts…seven from new album

Not having seen Wilco since the Americana fest at Merriweather I don’t really have a problem with hearing classics and I think playing most of the new album is what a band should be playing

When did Wilco go off the rails? It’s pretty easy to tell as it was captured on a pretty well known film


They're playing a sold out Anthem show. And other sold out shows at other venue significantly larger than when they were playing when that film was made. Remind me, how did they go off the rails?

you are confusing success with commercial success.

Or quality new output vs riding their laurels

Also, they didn't even sell out the DAR last time
what was the last DC date?


last DC proper date was superbowl sunday in 2016 I think…
after that they have played a well attended Wolftarp show in 2017.

Anyway, Wilco are still a fun band to see whether or not you like the most recent album(s). And their festival in Massachusetts is really the best festival. They are neither off the rails nor everyone's cup of tea.

I know it's blasphemy, but for me that's Radiohead as well.  I would still go see, and enjoy, but those early albums are the ones made for my taste.

It is incredible how fantastic their first record was and how they literally became garbage by LP 3.

i, for one, welcome our coldplay overlords… mostly because of the amount of whinging and whining they cause among the Musical Elitetm.
