Wow, wasn't expecting this!

I'm sure you're right. They really should just play through the fireworks. I think it's about that time in their career - maybe a pyro-filled version of Jesus, etc?

fireworks during Spiders electric would be awesome! Or during the transition from Poor Places into Spiders haha.

Can't Wilco be more like Neil Young and open up a show with Spiders acoustic, and close it with Spiders electric? Same goes for Sunken Treasure, I think that'd be awesome!

Have they been playing this lately? haven't heard it in awhile

Curfew 10:00 for this?

hmm... can't find it now, but I swear earlier they posted a schedule on facebook that said wilco from 8:05 to 10 followed by fireworks.

I don't see it now, but I thought for sure I read that

Damn, would have loved to hear Laminated Car live!

So with about an hour and change left, what's to come in this show?

Shall we assume

Heavy Metal Drummer

I'm the Man Who Loves You

Jesus Etc.

Whole Love

Art of Almost

Shot in the Arm

Monday

Outta Site

Not in that order obviously, but kind of wondering if any of those won't get played

The acoustic arrangement of this is so nice, but I must say I love me some loud noisy guitars on this one.

Way cool that concert started after a major hail/rain storm. Red Rocks is amazing, we are lucky here.

Yeah, I loved it, took a trip from chicago and spent the week prior hiking and camping, then topped it off with a wilco show! Great week and very jealous of those who live there!

Or 23 seconds of silence

full version of less than you think?

they could really blow this crowds mind if they wanted!

It was and it was awesome!!!

I remember it feeling really good at the time! The Nels solo that ends the song was one of my favorite moments, how that rang out with the delay and it was just a great feeling there

well shit, what location are you in?

be funny if they played "we're just friends" haha

Very similar to the Missoula setlist already.... hmmm. I wonder if they will do sometime special because it's such a big crowd or stick to mostly hits and new songs?

I was thinking with such a large crowd it'd be pretty much a hits show. So far that's been the case

I've been to Red Rocks once and it was in 09. I think that still might be the only time the whole band has played everlasting everything

So what's everyone's "one" wilco song that has eluded them live?

for me, it was poor places until last December!

Sounds good for sure.

If the guys want to know a good way to ensure a crowd stays on its feet, this setlist is looking like a good template.

Exactly! Probably not my favorite songs, but definitely fun for that kind of venue

Ok, I will post in here instead of After the Show haha. It's confusing!

Dawned on Me

War on War

Nels is really owning this WXRT feed, which isn't a bad thing, always loving hearing the little intricacies he adds! Very "poppy" start by the band if you will. I'd expect it'd be a pretty upbeat evening being outdoors and to a larger crowd

Listening too. Just posted on other board. Let's continue here.

Awesome! Nothing like drinking a beer and listening to a Wilco Webcast. Wish I could have gone to the show, but couldn't spring the money

Well hell, I guess I'll talk to myself!

DAWNED ON ME

sounds really tight, not my favorite opener, but it's up beat and gets everyone going!

Anyone in here listening to the show? Or is there a different place to discuss it live?

Cool to see John there, but I could only get about a minute into that video. Not a fan at all of how that guy sang lead on Hey Joe.

Nice find though!

Yeah, same happened to me, specifically with the song Remember the Mountain Bed. That was kind of "our" song and the first Wilco show we went together they played that and it was pretty awesome. We've since broke up a few years ago, but hearing that song still reminds me of her. Which is a shame because it's a beatiful song but every time I hear those opening chords all I can think of is "bitch" haha.

i loved At Dawn-Z. However, i just thing since Evil Urges the guy just dicks around with his talent. If he just sang songs in his range without the goofy lyrics i'd have a different opinion. you're right, jim james is asked to be in a lot of stuff, but that doesn't mean he's any good. it's really too bad, MMJ could've been a great band of the 00s and beyond, like Wilco. I'll be forever confused why M.Ward wanted to work with both oberst and yames.

 

i know i'll be lambasted for this response, but you asked, why jim?

goofy lyrics? Sure he has some goofy type songs, but the majority are pretty serious. What are goofy? specifically from say circuital?

so bon iver won't perform at the grammy's, but he's ok with SNL???

I am not a huge fan of Pitchfork, but I don't think they can be blamed entirely for the seeming divergence of those ratings. It should be noted that the reviews are done by different people, so they really should be viewed as "one reviewer's opinion" as opposed to "Pitchfork's opinion."

that is true, but I definitely feel pitchfork has a certain agenda. newspapers tend to be slanted to the right or the left even though different people write the articles

Putting myself in Tweedy's shoes, I can understand how it can be annoying to look out and see people looking DOWN at their cell phones. What I think he should understand is that the majority of the people that are there...are there for HIM! I turn my cell phone off because I want to enjoy the experience. If others at the show want to use their cell phones for their own concert experience, I think that is ok. It is policy, and I respect that. However, Mr. Tweedy needs to loosen up a bit and just realize that people pay their money to see them, to hear them in any way they see fit. Bob

right, but considering most of the people with cell phones out are video taping, that presents a problem since they don't allow video recording at shows.
