"Impossible Germany" (with solo in middle)

The version with the hardcore jam at the end is a billion times better.

Impossible Germany (with solo at the end)

I'll do it. My list of shows isn't as impressive as some other people around here, but I'll trade what I can

Heartbreak is the most correct.

so is there really one from kicking television that maybe is floating around there, that was an extra buying it through a certain service? was leaked? is there more music out there from that stand? or a viachicago inside joke???

 

sorry also, good version from 96 but i was actually looking for the new one?? anyone??

ktv extra tracks were Monday and How To Fight Lonliness, through iTunes and WilcoWorld, respectively.

1. Impossible Germany with the solo back at the end. I liked this version better.

2. Let's Fight. Never heard it, but I hope it's all good.

3. Hesitating Beauty, Wishful Thinking.

4. Hummingbird ending the main set. They've done this many a time, and I'm beginning to like it now.

5. Far, Far Away closer. By far, the best thing ever.

Best setlist thus far in the tour. And nice to know the AD opened. Excellence! I hope someone caught their set also...

 

There's always the Kicking Television live CD version

KTV doesn't have Kingpin.

with the original setlist revealed, i'm guessing the curfew prevented them from doing Spiders so they just rocked out the end instead of ending with Via Chicago. which is understandable, because Wilco hates to end on soft notes.

impossible germany has no relevant lyrics with Wanted/Unlikely Japan except for the title, Unlikely Japan, which appears as a hook of sorts in the new tune.

but I dunno, it just doesn't have the fuzz of Tweedy's solo,

I think Nels' fuzz > Tweedy, especially when you use a Klon Centaur and a Z. Vex Fuzz Factory.

Isn't this roughly the same setlist we see at most shows? Such critics!

which makes it boring.

- Please allow up to at least 1 week before requesting a show. Say for example, don't request the show you just went to the night or a few nights before. Allow tapers time some time.

Half a mile from the county fair

And the rain keep pourin' down

Me and Billy standin' there

With a silver half a crown

Hands are full of a fishin' rod

And the tackle on our backs

We just stood there gettin' wet

With our backs against the fence

Oh, the water

Oh, the water

Oh, the water

Hope it don't rain all day

And it stoned me to my soul

Stoned me just like Jelly Roll

And it stoned me

And it stoned me to my soul

Stoned me just like goin' home

And it stoned me

Then the rain let up and the sun came up

And we were gettin' dry

Almost let a pick-up truck nearly pass us by

So we jumped right in and the driver grinned

And he dropped us up the road

We looked at the swim and we jumped right in

Not to mention fishing poles

Oh, the water

Oh, the water

Oh, the water

Let it run all over me

And it stoned me to my soul

Stoned me just like Jelly Roll

And it stoned me

And it stoned me to my soul

Stoned me just like goin' home

And it stoned me

On the way back home we sang a song

But our throats were getting dry

Then we saw the man from across the road

With the sunshine in his eyes

Well he lived all alone in his own little home

With a great big gallon jar

There were bottles too, one for me and you

And he said Hey! There you are

Oh, the water

Oh, the water

Oh, the water

Get it myself from the mountain stream

And it stoned me to my soul

Stoned me just like Jelly Roll

And it stoned me

And it stoned me to my soul

Stoned me just like goin' home

And it stoned me

Honestly, I'm not sure about the Gilmour guitar, I haven't seen the DVD. But, if it is new, odds are, it is the same, as most Jets have the Dynasonic pickup/Bigsby combo that mine does. I will try and post a pic of it later for ya (at work now).

 

I would love, love, love to get another vintage Jazzmaster. I bought my '66 in 1996 for $1400. Now, one in excellent condition with the block inlays like mine, goes for $5-6000. Too steep for me right now. Hopefully, someday soon.

if it's a cbs-era Jazzmaster, it's probably worth around 2k-3k. pre-cbs are worth 5-8k, depending on how original the parts are, the wear on it, etc.

Jazzmasters are brilliant. my dream is to own a '59.

well, rather refreshing. new in the sense that they never really play Ashes and War on War in second encores, if anything.

it's always like A Shot In the Arm or Via Chicago >>>>>>>>> Spiders 9/10 times.

I agree with some other posters that it's hard to beat Being There,

YHF?

I really like the Wilco Book Unreleased version of hummingbird. Its got a really different feel to the whole song with some sync stuff in place of the normal insturments. The lyrics are slightly different, but most of the original lyrics were unchanged on the studio version.

when i hear this version i think i'm at a rave. which makes me want to throw up.

second encore is new, and rather ingenious. though i would have rather ended with Ashes (i like soft endings...), the second encore is refreshing.

"Goddamn semantics!"

studio Hummingbird is unstoppable. the viola work is killer.

this sentence made me laugh:

With that the band launched into a heart felt Jesus Etc. from Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, full of musings on the Son of God, the King of Love, and his feelings on shaking skyscrapers and whining voices, calling out in his name.

Radio Cure redeems this setlist, along with Let's Fight. Tweedy mentioned it at Summerfest, and I thought it was a joke (ole!)

i like how he gave 50 Cent's The Massacre 5 Stars. And accused the New Pornographers of selling out. It gave me a good laugh.

He could change the spelling back to C. it's not that hard, is it?

?

It's just the setlist makes me feel like I'm at a "Greatest Hits" concert, where they play the same things you've heard ten billion other times. I'd like a little more variation, just to keep things refreshing. I would hate playing the same songs every night. Some obviously have to be repeated, like the "Essentially Essential" but there's still plenty of room for variation, like digging through the back catalogue for more from Summerteeth besides A Shot In The Arm, or even playing some old Tupelo (!) tunes, like Gun, or New Madrid. Or even funky versions of their songs (Goth HMD, jazzz Monday, anyone?) are great inclusions too. I'm not complaining about the setlists, I'm just opening it up for general critiquing, which is hardly ever detrimental to the populace.

I also would like to see more songs. Last year, they played 25-26 songs on average. Where did those shows go?

Let every man be his own critic.
