seriously bummed to hear Jay say that he works according to "5 yr plans" and that, having worked with Son Volt for the past few records, it is probably time to move on to something else. Pls tell me that does not mean no Volt for a long while...don't get me wrong, I love the solo Jay, Gob Iron, etc....

And I'm a HUGE Far...

Son Volt Jam Band

One of things I enjoy about the live shows is that they knock out a tune and then transition quickly to the next song--I'm not one of the people clamoring for more crowd interaction from Jay. During this last round of shows, however, I found myself wishing they would extend some of the tunes beyond ...

I confess to spending most of my time in the cool zone shelter on the hill adjacent to the ampitheater. People wandered in and out of the cool zo...

VERY intimate show. 75-100 people max. Guys strolled out around 8:45. Jay in good humor throughout - chatty even, for him anyway. Thanked everyone for coming and apologized for people having to "jump through hoops" to get tickets for the show. Made a passing reference to the giant column that blocke...
