    Wilco — 3/5/12, Paris, France (Le Grand Rex)

    in After The Show

    Posted

    I stand by what I said. Where you there? The lack was of enthusiasm was dreadful. You have Nels onstage ripping off a killer solo and the response he's got is just people sunk in their comfy chairs vaguely clapping their hands while drinking champagne (they sold champagne!!!). I've been to thousands concerts I have always respected other people in the audience. They do whatever they like. But if I feel like I want to stand up and dance and cheer I expect people to respect that because that is exactly what a concert is for.

    Maybe you are not from Paris and don't understand the frustration but this concert we've talked about it with my friend for years. How many times we saw Wilco announcing a European tour with several dates in Spain and Germany, Switzerland and Scandinavia and nothing for France and Paris. We have even contacted management and french promoters to see what was the problem and why it was so rare for them to play here.

    Yesterday was supposed to be our big night. Our big party.

    Watching a rock concert seated in a chair is just no point. You feel nothing. It's like watching TV. What people do all the time is watching TV. For once we had a change to let a bit our emotions run wild. Be less in the secure zone.

    "Real Fan", yes maybe an easy thrown away formula. I don't know, I have like all records in cd and vinyls. DVDs officials and bootlegs. Side projects. I have invested money in Wilco and was rewarded by some great music. But seeing all the reports years after years from the states and other places... You just want once to enjoy it has much as the rest did.

    And don't talk me about snobbish. I'm a parisian. I know this city by heart. I know too well it's default. I know the hipsters. I'm friend with some of them. But is it too much for once to enjoy something on a genuine first degree where it matters more to enjoy the moment rather than being in only concern about how I'll tell my social contacts how I was there and oh it was "meh... not that good".

    WORST crowd ever. Wilco give it all and we tried to stand up at the begining of the show because they were rocking out and we wanted to have a party with them as we have been waiting for so long for them to come back. But all those lame people behind us told us to sit down. I mean it's a rock concert not Mozart. If you want to sit, just stay home and listen to the record, don't bully people that goes to a concert to give as good a feedback as the guys deserve. Parisian audience is just crap. Like tweedy said watching them makes him wants to sleep. And when finally Tweedy encourage them to stand up mid-way to the show, they stood up like a bunch of sheeps. Talk about spontaneity. Wilco should not come back after this. This town and this country ain't worth it. Why bother with a bored bourgeois audience. Looking forward to Primavera where we're going to have a real blast (us real fans).

    Ok. So I'm thinking a lot of things about TWL that I will not repeat here (I did it in French it was long).

    Anyway, at the end of the day, I made a playlist of songs from around AGIB era that didn't deserved to be on an album at the time (sort of). I know I'm living in the past and that you all made some sort of those playlist before but:

     

    1. Panthers
    2. A Magazine Called Sunset
    3. This Is New
    4. Bob Dylan's 49th Beard
    5. What Good Am I
    6. Diamond Claw
    7. Kicking Television
    8. The High Heat
    9. More like the Moon

    I'd be happy if TWL was half as good as this fantasy land "album"

    Go on DIME, great shows from all of those tours.

     

    Thanks. I do actually have some. I was just showing my interest for this particular era. Very curious about Time Fades Away II. I'm a huge fan of TFA and all I have is a mp3 ripp off of a vynil. So I wouldn't mind get Don't Be Denied, L.A. and Last Dance in archives sounding version asap.

    Thanks for the advice but you have no idea how bad I am at these manual crafts. I will look if there's a good soul around me willing to look into it, but I'm afraid it's not a task for a french mind. It's not in our blood.
