Got to see Wilco for the fourth time last night, at the Greek in Berkeley. Terrific set, from all over their catalog: truly inspirational. There is nobody else playing guitar music today with this kind of passion, sophistication and originality. Got me all psyched up to play our show at Thee Parkside tomorrow, too. (playing with AM Interstate and Matthew O'Neill and the Birds of Prey, two bands who seem quite likely to be very good, and compatible with us as well.)
Best part of the night however was being there with three of my closest friends: Derek, Gregg, and my wife. The four of us never really hung out together as a group before, and it was the merging of the three main areas of my life (band, work, and family) into one group, that felt unique and oddly thrilling. Great night, all around.
And for what I consider a 100% accurate review of the show, check out this cool blog called Hippies are Dead.
