probably for upperdeck though

Eh, Upperdeck.  I still think it may be worth it.   Good looking out on this....

I went to the Neil Young show last Monday at MSG.  Upper deck seats.  Not cheap.  But still Neil rocked the house.  I had to leave before midnight to catch a train, but he kept playing until after 12:30.

I was psyched to get to see Wilco, too.  I still don\'t get them though.  They\'re good and all, but to me, they don\'t live up to the hype.

According to news reports, Jay Bennett, the multi-instrumentalist and producer who was a part of the band Wilco for many years, has died. He was 45.

He died in his sleep, according to friend Edward Burch.

Bennett joined Wilco when the band toured for its first album, “A.M.” He and band leader Jeff Tweedy became a creative — and combustible — combination, combining forces for “Being There,” the band’s pop masterpiece “Summerteeth” and the challenging follow-up, “Yankee Hotel Foxtrot.”

But the pair was soon at odds, as detailed in the film “I Am Trying to Break Your Heart.” The Chicago Tribune’s Greg Kot, in a heartfelt appreciation, quotes Bennett as saying he wasn’t surprised. “I wasn’t blindsided. I saw it coming,” he said. “My enthusiasm had been waning, and apparently that was the case for the rest of the band, to

Bennett had recently sued Tweedy, claiming unpaid royalties for his music and his appearance in the movie.

The cause of death was not known. An autopsy was being performed, according to Burch.

definatly a huge creative force in wilco and though theyre great with Nels, bennetts influence will always be there. Too bad it happened during this law suit..thatll always add some suspicion.

wow. totally missed the posts/news about Jay Bennett in late May.  So unfortunate and unexpected.  I kind of thought the lawsuit was part of a PR campaign for some project that he was part of and was about to get released.  A real shame, he definitely had a huge influence on everything that I love about Wilco.

Me! :)    I paid for those pre-bbq tickets too, just for the hell of it.  

I am hoping they can top Tanglewood last year, but it would be really hard.  I hold that show up in like my top 5 concert experiences of all time....so i am really pumped for lowell.
