Jeff Tweedy's 49th Beard

This photo is kind of cheating, but I like it anyway.



I've seen better Wilco shows, but it was cool to see them in their hometown, in front of the biggest crowd I've ever seen them play. (The previous biggest for me would have been Radio City Music Hall, I think - a long way from those Thanksgiving gigs at the Mercury Lounge in 1996.) They played 4 new songs, which all sounded great. But where's the surprise in that?
