Check out the set list from Wilco's Snowden Grove visit on 9-13-07 (not technically Memphis - but might as well be). Lots of different songs vs. last night. The "problem" is that Wilco has so many awesome songs that unless they want to play for 5 hours, somebody is going home disappointed. I'm really bad about thinking, "man, why didn't they play Company in My Back like t

thanks! and by the way, as a little inside joke for those in attendance last night, the color of Herr Tweedy's boogers were "Green Day"
