LOL ... Price's head-fake on the B's fan in the crowd made me spit out my beer! Holy fuck that was funny. He should save those lightning reflexes for some saves, non? I'm drinking in your honour Booche. Time for another Cheers.

Hey, they listened!!! Halak's gonna get burned coming out of the net so much. This is soooo done. What's it gonna be like in Montreal for Game 3? Who do you start there? What the f does Gainey do to light a fire under their asses. BTW ... Maxime's a pussy

Schneider? He's killing the Habs tonight. Habs are done. They ain't coming back in this series. Keep Price in for the third? Don't think all the goals are his fault, but at least two of 'em were damn soft.

(Set 1) Casey Jones Cold Rain and Snow New Minglewood Blues Into The Mystic West LA Fadeaway Brown Eyed Women Cumberland Blues (Set 2) Viola Lee Blues> Sugaree> The Other One> Drums> Space> Comes A Time> Unbroken Chain> Throwing Stones (Encore) Not Fade Away Albany Pre-show After a nice, long drive from Charlottesville to Albany, it was great to pull up the venue at which so many great Grateful Dead shows took place, and we even stayed at the same hotel I used to stay at 16-19 years ago. Pretty cool. The city hasn’t changed much, and we had a great night hanging out on Lark Street. For an east coast burrito joint, Bombers should be proud. It’s a hip little neighborhood, and just a short walk from the venue. The load in was during a crisp but sunny morning, and everything is running smoothly. Spirits keep getting higher as the shows keep getting better. Now a Friday night in a classic Grateful Dead venue bodes well for a fun night of music. Preparations are going well for tomorrow’s live broadcast from Worcester. People are beginning to fill the streets of Albany as the weather keeps getting warmer. Although the Knickerbocker, er, Times Union Center is quite a bit bigger than the Charlottesville arena, it feels so small. Maybe it’s due to familiarity of having been here so often in the past. Walking around the venue earlier today I forget that I’d seen Robert Hunter here at the Palace Theatre in 1997, just down the street from the Knickerbocker. Set 1 Another blast of pre-1970, with Casey Jones and Cold Rain and Snow opening the show. Cold Rain has always been one of my favourites and this one was played beautifully and had everyone up and dancing. Jeff’s swirling organ filled the room, and everyone played their hearts out on top of that. Terrific stuff. Following that with another old one, New Minglewood Blues, had everyone smiling, plus a tasty Into The Mystic sung by Warren was a nice surprise. And then came the 1980s, with a bluesy, raunchy West LA Fadeaway. Crazy stuff. Following that came another dose of 1970-1971, Brown Eyed Women (with a great intro!) followed by Cumberland Blues, with Phil laying down that wonderful Cumberland bass line. All in all a very, very good and solid first set that everyone loved. Set 2 Everyone was thrilled with the second set opener, Viola Lee Blues! And it went on and on with some crazy way-out-there jams! Excuse the exclamation points, but it was smoking!! That fell into a beautiful Sugaree with Warren providing some soulful vocals. Out of the ashes of Sugaree came a deep and powerful The Other One, complete with roaring Phil bass intro. Bobby has been playing really great this tour, and tonight is the clearest and loudest I’ve yet heard him, and his playing is high on the wow-factor. Derek on the recording crew thought this Other One was really a cooker, and he was right. Another excellent Rhythm Devils came next, with Billy and Mickey playing some inspired sounds, as we journeyed through space with them. Out of Space came Comes A Time, and a friend pointed out that it was on 3/27/93 at this very same venue that both Casey Jones and Comes A Time were played, just as they both were tonight. Thanks DG for the historical reminder. That show in 1993 was the only time I saw either of those tunes live. After Comes A Time came a long, very jammed out Unbroken Chain, a song I’ll never tire of. Everyone kept pushing that instrumental groove harder under it all fell back into the final verse. Well done! A Throwing Stones emerged from that, one of Bobby’s finest compositions. What a freaking show! Throwing Stones was a nice way to end the second set, and as a continuation of that usual sequence, the nice encore of Not Fade Away. Oh, and on a side note, the lights look amazing at these shows! Dan English, the lighting designer, has done a wonderful job lighting these concerts. Thanks Albany, for another great of music. It was always my favourite tour stop in 1990-1993, and tonight was the best night yet, and that’s saying a lot considering how much fun it’s been so far. On to Worcester, for two nights at the Centrum (or whatever it’s called now).

Resistance is futile. It's gonna be FUN!

Go Leafs Go Happy Bday man.

These gigs are always a blast. I remember hitting up one at Lee's Palace right before the Salt Lake City Olympics. It was a fund raise for the Special Olympics. They fucking ROCKED the place. Had to line up outside Lee's for the whole afternoon. It was one helluva party in the lineup

never saw a link come up. Come to think of it, maybe they didn't even play the Pabst last night! Confusing that they'd keep something like that up without dates attached to it. Nope, they did play there last night: http://milwaukee.decider.com/articles/wilco-at-the-pabst-theater-night-no-2,26719/ Recap: Wilco at The Pabst Theater (Night No. 2) The band triumphantly closes its two-night stand at the downtown venue by Steven Hyden April 16, 2009 I have a brilliant idea: Let’s make Wilco concerts at The Pabst Theater an annual tradition. The downtown venue should bring the band back for a couple of shows every April—always a magical time in Milwaukee because we have several months of good times and decent weather ahead of us—and we’ll all just sit back and watch the local legend grow. Because a legend was indeed born last night; people who either weren’t lucky or quick enough to get tickets will soon grow tired of hearing about how great these shows were from their over-excited friends. And they’re only going to get more annoyed—Wilco’s two-night stand at the Pabst is going to be talked about for a long time. As good as Wilco was on Tuesday night—its first (and admittedly under-rehearsed) show of 2009—the band was even better on Wednesday, somehow sounding tighter and seeming looser at the same time. The traces of rust (and maybe a few jittery nerves) from the previous night were fully shaken off, and the band resumed peak tour form and proceeded to have a blast onstage. Broad smiles could be seen on the band members’ faces throughout the show; there was even an inspired impromptu comedy bit involving Nels Cline’s bright red pants. (Yell “Nels’ pants are the shit!†at your next Wilco show and you’ll see what I mean.) Like Tuesday night, Wilco drew the most from A Ghost Is Born—more than a quarter of the 25-song set was taken from the 2004 album. (The only Ghost songs Wilco didn’t play during the two nights were “Spiders (Kidsmoke),†“Wishful Thinking,†and “Less Than You Think.â€) But the band also dug a little deeper into its back catalog this time around, reviving treasured deep cuts like “Forget The Flowers†(from Being There) and “Shouldn’t Be Ashamed†(from A.M.). Some fans might have been disappointed that Wilco didn’t play more from its upcoming, still untitled album due in June. Tuesday’s show included the goofy “Wilco The Song,†which premièred last year on The Colbert Report; and the jaunty “Conscript,†a ’60s folk rocker that hearkens back to the band’s Mermaid Avenue period. But Wednesday’s show didn’t include any new songs, perhaps because Wilco was doing a live webcast on its website and didn’t want to give a leg up to bootleggers. So, instead of previewing the new record, Wilco stuck to the tried and true, especially in the second encore, which brought things home with the band’s most fist-pumping material. A night filled with so much pure enjoyment could only end with “I Got You,†“Casino Queen,†and “I’m A Wheel,†even as the audience wished that the show would never end. But why does it have to end? Let’s do this again next year. Setlist “Hell Is Chrome†“Company In My Back†“Remember The Mountain Bed†“At Least That’s What You Said†“You Are My Face†“She’s A Jar†“I Am Trying To Break Your Heart†“Handshake Drugs†“Shouldn’t Be Ashamed†“War On War†“Jesus, Etc.†“Impossible Germany†“Forget The Flowers†“Walken†“I’m The Man Who Loves You†Encore “Misunderstood†“Hummingbird†“A Shot In The Arm†Second encore “Hate It Here†“Box Full Of Letters†“The Late Greats†“Red Eyed And Blue†“I Got You†“Casino Queen†“I’m A Wheelâ€
