Yay!!! Thanks for the elongated Chit Chat/workshop. 😁 We saw you last night in Bend...from the FRONT ROW! I was the one with “Hello from Starship Casual” sign. ☺️🎸😝 (My husband painted the letters, but it was all my idea.) Seriously Jeff!! That was such a great show! My very first Wilco show. And, coincidentally...my first 100% sober concert. So thank you for rocking our socks off...clear-mind style!! Truly. 🙏🏻❤️🌈🤘

Thank you for playing 2 miles from my home. Also, I’m the “jerk” who was on the rail and requested Spiders and you said “we are on a program.” It embarrassed my son lol. Anyways, I’m glad you were able to hike Tumalo Falls. That hike is usually overcrowded but mid-week is a fab time to go. The hikes above that trail along Tumalo Creek are just as fab, btw. It’s really cool to snowshoe to in the winter. I also shouted “please keep BEND, Oregon a secret” but I moved here from Nebraska 19 years ago so that would be pot calling the kettle black. Great show! Now my kids expect every show to be front row for now on. See you in Iceland.

First, I can’t get over how much Scott sounds like my friend John McDuffy. 😂 Second, it was so good seeing you all in San Diego. Your comment about being open to being happy got me a little misty. I’m getting ready to leave all my wonderful friends in CA, and move back to southern IL to help my aging father. I think that is where I will find my “happy”. 💜

Scott! Scott! Scott! It was great to see the band last night in Bend. We brought the entire family. At first I was not excited about the seat-cage but it ended up being awesome being surrounded by fellow fans and not yip-yappers. Awesome show and thanks for coming our way. Next stop - ICELAND, where I hear popcorn and ice water costs $300. LOL :)

Fyi, your fans are getting younger. My son is 14 and my daughter is 10 and they loved seeing Wilco live.

Are you kidding? To know him is to love him. We’re talking about America’s favorite houseguest!

Jeff!! Great show last night in Bend. Really really enjoyed it. You kept looking at me, too!

In the spring, I cohosted a college radio show at University of Vermont from 12-2 AM. I played Falling Apart (RN) the very night it came out. I’m quite convinced I was the first DJ to ever play that song! So happy to hear it live.

Thanks for inspiring and jamming!

I was there last night. My first live concert since COVID shut down everything back in 2020...and it was a Wilco show. Thanks for the memories Jeff. It's great to be back seeing live music again.

Hiya Scott and Jeff! Me and a buddy saw Scott walking around Austin at SXSW years ago and we said hi with me worrying like I always do in these situations that I'm being a bother. But Scott was super sweet and gracious and chatted with us several minutes. As far as younger audiences go I'm doing my part. My son and granddaughter have both attended the Wilcos! And music makes us all pretty ageless anyway, right?!

Thanks for introducing me to Scott McCaughey - such a treat! And it's great to hear the Bend show was much better than you had been warned. So glad the band (at least) was excited about it! AND, when are you coming back to Toronto???!!

I'm sure this has been requested before but I was listening to Heavy Metal Drummer and wondered if you actually have any Kiss covers in your recent repertoire? Maybe Every Time I Look At You? I think that would sound nice.
