Wow, I have been waiting to see this video for so long. Being a very big Wilco fan, I had the pleasure of seeing them again this past August at The WhiteLies Lawn at White River State Park in Indianapolis, IN. Suprisingly, I have never been to a concert there, and I was extremely pleased with my experience. Not only was the venue the perfect setup for Wilco, but I would definitely put this concert up there competing for top spot of Best Concert I have ever been to. For those who went, you will understand where I’m coming from. For those who didn’t, sucks to be you.
One of my favorite Wilco songs x One of the best concerts I have ever been to.
In writing this entry, not only am I posting a very funny video made for a great Ben Folds’ song, but also sharing my delight in knowing that I will be seeing Ben Folds perform for the 3rd time this coming February 29th at Purdue University. I’m exstatic in so many ways right now, because I had the preveledge of seeing my first Ben Folds concert ever at Purdue University with a buddy in 2005. After that show I became a huge fan, dedicating myself to collecting all of his records from all of his projects. Not only do I have all of the Ben Folds Five albums, but I have both solo albums, “Rockin’ the Suburbs” and “Songs For Silverman” as well. Although I love BFF (Ben Folds Five) material, my favorite music of his has come from his latest album “Songs For Silverman.” With such tracks as Jesusland, Late, and Prison Food, there is no wonder why this album holds a special place in my musical heart. Following the Songs For Silverman release, I was able to see Ben Folds for the second time in the summer of 2007, on tour with John Mayer at Verizon Wireless Music Center in Noblesville, IN. This was yet another great Ben Folds show, although I wish he could have played a longer set. But now knowing that I will get to see him again at my own campus, I cannot complain. Although the complete tour has not been released, the Purdue show will be on February 29th at 8PM in the Elliott Hall of Music. Tickets go on sale 1/19/2008, yet I will be waiting in line early on the 18th to get my tickets (Purdue students get the extra day )
