Thanks for posting the setlist.

Did anyone capture the audio of this?

oops....crashed?

I'm getting the "Shows" page to load, but I don't see any active "Presale" link to click on . . .

So cool that it was streamed. Thanks Wilco, Thanks XRT.

A fun night. Great following along here.

I know that's what makes them professional musicians, but it's impresive how they can break out random tracks like this, and it sounds like gold.

There hitting on all cylinders now

Love those guitars in Century

+1 -- nice to see the show come down the stretch like this.

Joe Z: doesn't this feel like a really comfortable show?

 

i.e. I agree with your comments and the set list makes sense in light of Tweedy's comments

I wouldn't call this a "comfortable" show. The first hour or so was brooding, maybe a little dark. The first three songs were "Less Than Your Think," "Ashes" and "Bull Black Nova" -- throw in songs like "I'll Fight" and "Radio Cure." They definitely established a mood/theme and then went from there.

I prepped for the stream thinking the night would be going in a different direction: a little more upbeat, rocking out, what have you.

But Wilco if anything keeps you on your toes. And when they throw a night like this into the mix, it makes me appreciate it even more.

To hear this song in Chicago, I would imagine to be pure bliss. Especially on a Saturday night, closing in on midnight. As good as it gets.

Candy Floss.

The antithesis of the first half of the show.

Still a pee break song for me

Maybe a post better suited to another thread, but are you guys suprised this has turned into *the* singalong, song-at-the-ready that it has become? I feel like it has morphed into The Ballad of Wilco over the years. It's a "nice" song, but I don't get the prominence/stature that it has gained over the years. If I'm off-base tell me to shut up.

Hey, one for us!

Good living room rock.

Secret of the Sea.

PERFECT.

HI SUSIE GET WELL SOON

I try and keep a level of separation from the artists I listen to, and the circle of my own existence, but that really whacked me in the gut. Gave a different perspective on the proceedings, to be sure. Damn . . .

Yeah it was, and always straight into I Might.

And sticking with that.

Most upbeat moment of the show so far.

Nice segue into AoA

Yes. If I'm not mistaken, that sequence (Poor Place > Almost) was used quite a bit on the '12 tour.

Interesting show to be at, I imagine. From a 1,000 miles away, they have me locked into what this set is going to look like by the end.

Love love Poor Places.

Top 5 for me.

Adding to the epic (in a stately, serious way) feel to this set.

Three songs from the oft-ignored Wilco (The Album) so far.

Jeff knows we're capturing the stream and won't moan and groan when those tracks are left off the official release.

Definitely subdued - nice, though.

Yeah, it sounds great.

Blue-eyed Soul!

A little sunlight on the proceedings. But even this version sounds subdued . . . fascinating set so far.

Yes, Dewar's ads here as well. I listen to sports programing via Radio.com and have always encountered this annoyance.

I'm streaming via TuneIn radio app on my phone, and am picking up no ads. But I'm also capturing stream via radio.com stream on my laptop, so I'm sure I'll pick them up later.

Our thread starter instructed us: "Positive Setlist Comments Welcome".

 

I'll keep it as positive as I can - I loved the first two, not so much on #3 and 4. Just a personal preference.

Two from (the Album) in the first 5. Interesting!

Kind of a spacey, moody opening to the show . . . I like it.

"One Wing" is a song that I was lukewarm five years ago, but it's skyrocketed for me over time; the solo versions really helped me appreciate it.

Great 1-2 combo to open. Someone made a point how last night Nels didn't have many opportunities to "let loose." He got an early chance tonight.

One by One

Hesitating

Muzzle

That's a great little trio to open a set.

Opening with a Mermaid Ave. song back-to-back nights -- wonder if it's a nod to Bob. With the obvious Woody Guthrie connection, and Dylan name-dropped the album in his book, so he's at least causally familiar with it.

Right now: Wilco & @BobWeir performing "Ripple" by the #GratefulDead at @AmericanaramA, at Cruzan Amphitheatre in West Palm Beach

from the Expecting Rain forum:

I've been out of the loop for a long time in terms of trying to follow setlists in "real time," but hoping we get some reports as the night goes on. I'm really fired up for this tour.
