    Wilco - June 4 2016 - Philadelphia PA - The Mann Theater

    At one point Jeff asked a guy in the row in front of us if he was using night vision goggles and the guy said no, but they sure looked like night vision goggles perhaps with some sort of camera built in.

    Dunno the story here, but I remember well a case many years ago where the NY Mets TV announcers made fun of some guy for wearing what sounds like a similar contraption. Turned out the fellow had serious vision problems and the contraption was a medical device, as regular glasses just didn't do it for him.

    The political banter on this tour was kept to a minimum - it was actually near non-existent, certainly at the 4 shows I attended. There was maybe one remark at the two MSG shows. This tour was much more about connecting with the fans in personally meaningful ways than in making broad political statements.

     

    There are no pro-Obama songs. Bu$hleaguer is the only Bush song I can think of. What are the other one or two? BInaural, Riot Act, and Avocado certainly had very topical songs for the times, but no other tunes specifically aimed at Bush.

     

    Binaural was originally advertised with a 16-song tracklist. That would have been the closest to a double-album.

    The Porch thing didn't bother me as power only went out for a couple seconds. Not like 2006 when it went out for about 10 minutes.

     

    They brought one kid up on stage in Canada. That was cool. I didn't read of any others. But Ed has been going out into the crowd during Porch and Mike McCready has been going out into the crowd whenever he wants and then he is running around half the arena sometimes. There have been numerous special dedications too. Clearly someone is reading the PJ fanclub forum and the band is responding to messages that resonate with them. Makes each night uniquely special.

    I was there! Totally awesome, and completely out of left field. Surrender with 1/2 of Cheap Trick was awesome too! If Pearl Jam ever pulled a Wilco and performed an all-covers show.. well, I don't know that it would be better than Solid Sound, but it would be incredible.

    Staff at the Cap need some lessons in courtesy though. King's Theater crew were so nice and polite, clearly a well-run team. After the Cap show I went to use the restroom, and was told to go upstairs. I went upstairs and was sternly told to go downstairs. :jerkit  Turns out they wanted everyone to use the three single-stall restrooms in Garcia's bar. So the line was way-long. I've encountered less-than-pleasant staff before at the Cap, and stuff like that makes me not care to ever go there again, no matter how nice the room is.

    That wasn't Kamera, it was Camera (the alternate version). Which sounds different than the usual, album version.

    Venue staff were fantastic - professional, cheerful, and welcoming - all the way around. Sign of a well-run organization.

    Glad to see the crowd stood from the get-go. I think there were a lot of first-timers/casual fans in the audience so I wasn't sure that would happen.  A few assertive folks up front may have set the tone ;)

     

    A real annoyance was the constant stream of people trying to crash the front to sit with their buddies/occupy seats they didn't pay for/stand in the aisles. The ushers kept turning them back though later in the show they just made them squeeze in.

     

    Nice to  hear Company in My Back, in addition to the above-named surprises.

    Totally wish i was going tomorrow night, but other plans beckon...

    Much less banter from Jeff than usual, but there were a couple moments that others might chime in on with details.  One funny moment was when, I believe it was I'm Always in Love,  some (one or more) person(s) came in early at the end with a refrain and Jeff shook his head no, and then came in at the right time. LOL.

    I've been to a handful of shows at the Capitol Theater, and fights have not been uncommon. I guess it doesn't attract the best audiences. I thought the New Haven crowd was very appreciate of the band and very chill to be around. Also about CSMH, I wonder if they gutted the place for its current reincarnation or was that architectural carnage conducted during in its 1980s rebirth as the Palace Theater. There is very little in that building to indicate it dates to the 1920s. Still, I liked the size of the room and look forward to future shows there.

    Backspacer came out in the latter half of 2009, and they only did a few shows, mostly out west and Philly. So 2010 was the proper Backspacer tour. But yes they tour pretty often, though it seems they like to alternate years between North America /Europe/South America..

    Wilco StL bootleg MIA?

    in Just A Fan

    Posted

    Could be that OP means "official bootleg" as opposed to fan-made recordings? Jeff wouldn't really know if fans were taping nor to make mention of it.  I believe that Wilco tape every show but, unlike Pearl Jam, they do not release very show, just select performances.
