Great show in Huntsville last night! I retract my previous comment about the Van Braun Concert Hall (" a glorified double wide ..."). I had only been to shows in the ARENA. The Concert Hall was nicer than I expected (though still a litle dated - there are no bad seats). Two freebies to a disbeliever on the front lawn (traffic out of Birmingham didn't leave much time for hawking spare tix).
Overall, the set list didn't vary too much from last year's show at the Alabama Theater. Great set, but I would've loved hearing "Jar (with a heavy lid)" or even "Candy Floss".
This was only my second Wilco show, but I've been a fan since the Uncle Tupelo days. Great amalgam of folk meets Pink Floyd meets Neil Young meets John Cage. All percieved train wrecks were by design and on cue. Jeff, put that electric guitar down before you hurt somebody.
Oh, wow... I read this post and chuckled at your kindness, as I had extra tickets but opted to take friends instead of my dad, and then tonight, at dinner, my dad said something about getting free tickets to the show last night! I put two and two together and realized it was you-- small world, huh?
