Playing any covers this tour?
Wow, criminals, that's so cool that you heard me!!! Did you hear the seal? That's my friend Anthony. Were you at the Wilco show at The Pageant where Anthony made the seal imitation & Tweedy replied with, "Who brought the seal?" That was awesome. Unfortunately my seal friend just moved from STL to TX, so I'm going to miss hearing the seal...
sandusky, i heard you yell that! and jay's freebird response was pretty humorous. but that was about it from him that night in terms of dialogue. i couldn't believe it when he played "love you to". i am a huge beatles fan and that is on my favorite album, revolver. it is a george harrison song that is heavy on the sitar, and jay and mark spencer definitely did it justice. the closing song, sing me back home, was also excellent. that is a song coffee creek used to play all the time at their show's in cicero's, but i think jay playing the piano gave it a much different effect. it was a great way to end the show.
can't wait till monday night!

When I saw him in St. Louis 11/30/02 he played 'Love You To' also. He ended the show with a Merle Haggard cover 'Sing Me Back Home'. That was really cool, it was just him on piano.
He also played Tupelo's 'Still Be Around' & 'Grindstone'. So the answer is YES, he DOES play some Tupelo.
I have a funny story about that show. Jay doesn't say much at his shows. It's usually just a "Thanks a lot". Well, I wanted to get some kind of response from him so in between songs I yelled, "WHISKEY BOTTLE" really loud & he responded with "Freebird" The crowd just went crazy!! I guess they were a little shocked by his reaction! It was REALLY cool!!!!!

Playing any covers this tour?
In SV and UT, Jay always surprised us by playing some great covers at the shows. Is he playing any on this tour, or just focusing on the new album? Playing any UT songs? I remember last year I think he played "Still be Around".
