This was the early show, leaving at 7 p.m. and docking back again close to 9.
They're still rocking hard after thirty years. Go see them if you can.

Going to see Southside Johnny and The Asbury Jukes tomorrow night on the Rockin' The River cruise early show.
I first saw Southside Johnny and the Jukes in 1977 when they played Union College and my girlfriend (now wife of 28 years) interviewed them for the school paper. They were a staple of the New Year's Eve parties my brother and I threw in the late 70's. We'd invite our two very different groups of friends and family and party all night in our parents' apartment in manhattan. Rock with th Southside, then R&B the rest of the night.
Haven't seen the band in about five years, so I've been whining about it for awhile. Now I can only whine about the cost of a ticket for a show on a boat...
Anyone else going?
Thanks to Dan at www.nyctaper.com for asking permission to use my photos on his site for the recordings of the Wilco/Yo La Tengo sets at Keyspan Park, Wilco at Dutchess Stadium and the Explosions in the Sky show from Summerstage. Follow the link above to get those recordings for yourself.
project(Red) is using one of my Gomez photos for the Gomez section of their (Red)Nights project.
Wilco will join Beck to cover Skip Spence for Beck's Record Club http://bit.ly/pfWX
The companion book to Amanda Palmer's album "Who Killed Amanda Palmer" has shipped. Neil Gaiman provided the stories to go with photos from a variety of photographers.
Wilco played the last show of their 2009 tour of minor league ballparks at Dutchess Stadium in Wappingers Falls, NY on Saturday, 7/18/09.
Another all-around great show by the best rock band playing today. Not quite as captivating as the show with Yo La Tengo last Monday, but fun and a fitting end to their ballpark tour. Jef said they took a trick from Yo La Tengo and threw two baseballs out into the crowd. One signed by the band and one by the crew (he said the crew-signed one was more valuable).
Nels Cline again showed why he's one of the most highly-regarded rock and roll guitarists.
Pat Sansone added lots of sounds to the mix.
Glenn Kotche anchored the band as always.
Many more photos (and higher resolution) in my Flickr photoset. Don't miss them.

Wilco & Yo La Tengo played tremendous sets at Keyspan Park, Coney Island on Monday, 7/13/09.
I'm away, so this entry is a placeholder until I can get home to pour through more unfortunately low-res point-and-shoot photos and get them posted here and on Flickr.
Leslie Fiest joined the band for a few songs. More in my Flickr photostream.
One of the highlights for me was 'Kidsmoke' with Yo La Tengo joining Wilco. Watching Nels Cline enjoying Ira Kaplan's playing was a blast!
Wilco will be playing in Wappingers Falls, a mere 90 minutes from NYC on Saturday the 18th. You should go...

Umphrey's McGee played Summerstage in Central Park 7/9/09.
They shredded and sang their way through a great set while the sun went down over Manhattan.
Don't miss these guys if you have a chance to see them.

Explosions in the Sky played Central Park's Summerstage on 6/30/09.
It was their tenth anniversary as a band.
Don't miss them opening for The Flaming Lips later this summer. Should be a nice match.
