Why does Wilco tour almost non stop?
I'm glad they do of course but it must be exhausting!

Hello Wilco fans who are guitarists. I've gotten great advice on here for making music. I'm playing a gig next month and it's the first gig I've done in a while with an amp. I've got an epiphone casino going into a fender Mustang gtx100. I've found pretty good settings to capture something of the Jeff Tweedy sound (using an emulation of a 1957 tweed) but for the songs where I'm using my j45... Would you go into the sound desk or use the amp? Wondering what Jeff does when he's switching because it looks like he uses the same guitar lead. Any advice appreciated.
And if of interest the band I'm playing in got some airtime on BBC 6 music yesterday ahead of our show (any London based Wilco fans are welcome. We may well cover Jesus Etc because we have a violinist!). The radio playvery exciting. You can check it out here:

Thanks in advance for any guitar sound advice
Loved every second of it. There was only one other guy waiting for them by their buses so we were able to get our things autographed. The members were very nice, but unfortunately Jeff was in his bus before we could see him
So they dropped a new live album (Yellow) last night. I was disappointed with the production value of the first two. I don't know much about music production, but the mix does not sound great. It sounds like it was just pulled straight from the soundboard and released. I was really hoping that by the third one they would have corrected it. Compared to Kicking Television or any live albums that other major bands release (check out one of the hundreds of live Phish releases), these sound terrible. Which is too bad because having seen Wilco 40+ times over the years I can safely say they are an incredible live band. Just wish it translated to the live records better.
Hey guys, I went to the children in Evansville Indiana. I felt so processed. I thought we would get seats that were pretty good at $100 each and we're next to the nosebleeds. Nobody stood until the second set. I'm 42 and I felt like it was only younger ones there. There's so many of us that love your music. We just can't access it now. We're priced out. I know you guys need to pay the bills, but it was hard. Really hard for something I love.
I helped plaster these all over town. Last night they finally played here! My 7th Wilco show, and the best !
Amazon just told me there's a new record. Can't see a tracklist or Album art,but it's downloading ....
Did anybody happen to get a picture of the merch at last night’s show? If not, could someone going tonight be willing to snag a pic? Would love to know what I’m walking into financially at my show!
Does anyone know if there's a "complete" version of this Wilco live performance in Canada in '97? I always thought it ended kind of abruptly, but I've never found another version (btw, my favorite performance of theirs, it's just awesome).
I don’t mean when he plays a rhythm guitar, i mean when he does solos, for example “new orleans”, “no one’s moving on”, “amar bharati” “this is how it ends”, “spiders (kid smoke), “diamond light (p1)” for example

interesting chat with Nels and Paul from Guitar World, where among other things he talks about how the solo on IG came together and how he ended up joining Wilco.
