Wilco has a 2 hour slot reserved for them at the Pori Jazz Festival in Finland. Not even headlining that night, Brian Wilson will play after them. http://porijazz.fi/fi/ohjelma Was kind of on the fence about going, but now I will definitely be buying tickets.

I guess he was security, at least the uniformed secuguys made a switch after he showed them some signs and where to stand. Took me a long time to figure it out. Found him so creepy. Jeff came over to him and said something like "why the fuck are you so pissed off all the time, just relax" Edit: ok, so after reading winterland's post I guess he was just plain weird and creepy.

Great show. The best one I've seen by Wilco so far. Have never seem them in such a good mood before. I was one of the "gap fillers" and got a great spot right in front of Jeff on the 2nd row. The security tried to get people to leave during the first song but soon realized that it wasn't about to happen. After that they seemed to be cool about it and more people started streaming in. The setlist was great. After the main set I was a bit worried that they hadn't played either Via Chicago or Misunderstood. Couldn't even dream that they would play them both in the encore...so I was happy in the e

Current board from last thursday : Some small changes.

Better venue, better sound, better audience, all in all better show than the already great show in Helsinki the night before. The venue is an old warehouse, holds about 1200 people, all standing. Got in line about 15 minutes before the doors opened, 4th in line and front row in front of Jeff again. After the first two songs it was clear that the setlist was going to be something different. Rocking show, lots of energy and the audience really into it. Was great to hear lots of songs not played in Helsinki, ALTWYS was one such highlight for me. Jeff asked how many people were last night in Hel

Copied from the Stockholm Thread on "Just a Fan". I'll write some more later Helsinki setlist from thursday night. Great show and the band seemed to be in a good mood.

Here's the setlist. Some notes later. Much more fun, upbeat, rocking show than the one in Helsinki the night before. Also nice variation on the setlists.

Not going, but the venue is really nice. Shaped like a circus (actually was at some point), smallish floor (general admission standing usually) with seats around the sides. About 2000 capacity. Was thinking about going but couldn't make it work. At least they're playing two shows here in Finland if the ash clouds stay away. Can't wait. Hometown show on Friday

Maybe more to come? But what a way to start off their European Tour, making good on their promise to come back to Finland after their festival set last august. The Tampere venue is like 2 minutes from my home.

"The Man" by Patto. They used that as intro song a lot back then.

Great footage, been watching for about 30 mins now. Spiders on now, looks like it's about to end soon...

Just got back home after a two hour drive. Great show indeed, and it was nice meeting you as well... Too bad they skipped Hummingbird, but I heard they're kind of strict about the 10pm curfew for these outdoor shows. The crowd was really good, totally not typical Helsinki/Finland on Monday night crowd. Great to see that the band seemed to enjoy it as well.

I found this: http://www.livenation.dk/event/4783/DKT-Live-Vision-presents-Wilco-tickets Thought about going to this one, but I think I'll have to settle for the Helsinki show in a couple of weeks.

Is there a direct url to the lo-fi version? I am often reading this forum using Opera Mini browser on my Nokia mobile phone. The "IP.Board/IP.Board Lo-Fi" box at the bottom of the page does not work there. I'm unable to switch to the more readable lo-fi version.
