Tuesday night for me...

Tuesday night for me too! Woo hoo! I've never seen two Wilco shows so close together. What is the Wiltern and neighborhood like?

Does anyone know if the pit was for sale, or was just insiders and photographers?

The photographers had to leave after 3 songs. And I think the pit was for U of A insiders because a lot of them knew each other and the staff there. I also don't remember seeing those seats for sale.

Hey Laurie and Rick. Too bad you guys couldn't make it. The venue and campus reminded me of the place in New Mexico we were at, but the crowd there was so much better. Either way, it's always a good day when Wilco is playing for you, regardless of the crowd, right?

Hearing Hell live is awesome...I didn't expect them to open with it in AZ. As far as the request, I think requesting it a day or two before the show is cutting it close.

PLEASE post your photos from this show if you have good ones - we couldn't use flash and my camera wasn't up to the task, but I would LOVE to see some shots from this show I'll always remember...

My brother had a photo pass, so he should have some photos together soon. He was the big guy who looked like a bear up front. He also got 75% of BBN from the front before the security lady came over and snagged him. Didn't get the screaming.

@: 229someday. I guess you met my brother, not me. I was two seats over. Every time I tried to introduce myself, somebody jumped in. I guess you famous around there. I think we had killer seats! How about that security guard sleeping right in front of us? Ha.

I asked John why they don't come to the Phoenix area more often and he said it's an odd city as far as fans. He related it to Miami. They don't get any radio play, so not a lot of people know them. I assured him if they came, they would have a ton of fans at the show.

I had it typed as Poor>Reservations>Spiders so i'm not sure what you mean *lol* you are right about the date though, I live in Phoenix so it was a little drive for me as well so it was late.

 

Edit, I have the correct date in the title?!

Sorry, I was really tired last night when I posted that. I must have been seeing things or not.

Yeah, it was a great show, but I know what you're saying about not too many people getting into it. 'Shot' was also the first time I stood; then again, the only thing blocking my view was the pit and nobody in there even moved. In case you didn't see, during 'Seeds' Jeff put pointed to a guy in the pit, put his hand up to mime talking on a phone, then gave the guy a dirty look and the middle finger. I loved it. When he sang, "But you and I will be undefeated", he motioned to himself and the guy. Then a little later, Jeff asked if the guy was there as part of a community service sentence or something. He busted the guys chops for a while and then the guy said he was sorry. Jeff replied, "I think you really are" or something like that. I like to see him going after the talkers, etc. Bull Black Nova is awesome live as well. My brother had a photo pass and should have some photos up soon.

The only thing they didn't play off the set was "Passenger Side". Other than that it seemed to be heavy into YHF and AGIB. And it was Poor > Rev > Spiders.

And the show was on the 18th, not 19th.

[i'm sure you just as tired as me]

managed front row! By the looks of it we'll be right in front of Nels' amp, so I'm searching the drawers for earplugs.

Me too. I'm in the front A seats 405 and 406. Should be very close to you. Lindy's on 4th Ave sounds like a great place to go eat after seeing Wilco. They are open until 3am! My bro and I will be there.

Anyone else going to this show who didn't sound off?

I'll be at El Paso (I live here), Tucson, then the 23rd in Los Angeles. Can't wait!

I'll be at that LA show too.

I'll be at the Tucson show. At least it won't be super hot on Thr. Only 97.

Nice set list. Thanks for the review.

I like this song. Anyone notice harmonies of it match up with harmonies of "On and On and On"?

I wonder when the band is going to post something.

Upsetting news. Listening to YHF right now and catching phrases that are sad. Reading his blog from a month ago is hard too because he talks about his hopes, fears, and future.

Rest in peace Jay and thank you for bringing joy in the form of music.

Thanks a lot Zebra

You're welcome. Although, a few days ago, I had to ask in another thread because the link seemed to get left off the new site. What did you end up requesting?

So, is this song about a driver who hit and killed someone? Or just has a dead body in the trunk like Tommy in Goodfellas?

check out 'Two Weeks' off their new album which is out next week

Thanks, I'll have a listen.

I have a feeling the 'call and response' part is going to be badass live.

im going to the show too but i cant find where you can request a song on the web site? can someone point me in the right direction please?

This is true to a point. I can say that in Chicago there are many young professionals that go to the show to be seen... not for the music. This is most definitely... annoying. Not that they are not "true" fans, but that they won't shut the F up.

I noticed this at the MP show. Showed up in suits and seemed to be on their phones all night.

If you take the first letters of each song [WDOBYYCSISE] and rearrange them (and/or take out some letters), you can get any of the following and many more:

disobey

cows

odyssey

bodies

decoys

dobies

codes

beds

side

And if you do the same thing with the letters: wilcothealbum, you can get:

cobalt

outlaw

bailout

ice boat

tea bowl

metallic

touchable

biotech

blue coat

moth ball

metabolic

lethal

mellow

wealth

hell cat

comet

climate

ballet

hallow

helium

touche

mullet

and many more.

What is everybody here requesting for this show? Mine is "When The Roses Bloom Again". I've requested it at two different shows and it didn't get played.
