today i read that Wilco is coming out with a concert movie next month. even more exciting was that they are using footage of various shows they did last spring. one of those locations was NOLA. i happened to be at both of the Wilco shows last year. i kind of started to hate general admission shows after that, because the possibility for a claustrophobic freak out was great. i really don’t like being that close to people (less than 6 inches of space if i remember correctly) for more than 2 hours, but i had to keep telling myself “it’s Wilco in a small venue, this will be over soon.” two nights in a row of standing in a packed room for 3+ hours…..but it was for a good cause. the SoCo and coke Jacob got me drinking might have helped also. anyway, i didn’t take many pictures, just because it was so crowded, but i did take a couple. i remember being close to a video camera, but i knew they were webcasting the 2nd show, so i didn’t think they were filming for a dvd. it’ll be cool to watch it and see if we are in the movie. doubtful, but you never know. the part from the NOLA show they have in the trailer though is behind where we were standing….so maybe. here’s a picture from the 2nd night:
i watched the trailer and realized the picture on the cover is from a bridge on I-65 north of Mobile. i drive over it every time i go up to Clemson. it’s a cool bridge and it’s kind of out in the middle of nowhere. i thought it was a great choice for a dvd cover.
