    Wilco — 1/22/12, San Diego, CA (Copley Symphony Hall)

    in After The Show

    Posted

    Great show!

     

    As for the sound, how was the mix for everyone else? I was 2nd row Directly in front of Jeff's amp, and if he was playing electric that was all that I heard.

    End up missing quite a bit of Nels solos because of it. Not completely mind you, but it wasn't balanced for me at least.

     

    Thanks for the set list too. I usually bring a pad and pen to shows, but I was planning on live tweeting the set list. Not that anyone follows me, just so I could go back later. But then I forgot to charge my phone yesterday afternoon, so it was almost dead before the show even started. (I know, first world problems...)

     

    Also, White Denim were Hot! I highly suggest getting early enough to check them out. Although their mix was pretty muddy, still sounded good.

    SOOOO excited to go to my first show this Sunday! Plus I got Kick-A** seats! 2nd row center...

     

    But unfortunately it's kind of bitter-sweet.

     

    I got two tickets for me and my wife, but she's going through some serious personal issues right now (when I say "she", of course that means "we") and does not want to be around ANY people, let alone large crowds. She just told me last night, and I've been kinda depressed about it all day.

     

    I got a buddy who's going to go with me, not a big Wilco fan per se, but he digs good music and he's looking forward to it.

     

    So anyhow... Yay! :ohwell

    How and when did you discover Wilco?

    Heard about UT and the whole Alt-Country genre right when they were about to break up. I was in a Country Rock / Classic Rock band at the time (joined for the audition experience more than anything. Not my style of "country"), but I couldn't find much around here. I really liked "old" country, and felt like this would be more my speed, having been a Punk Rocker turned Dead/Phish Head. This was pre-mp3 (for me at least) so no downloading.

     

    Finally heard "Whiskey Bottle" and got a hold of a live bootleg. Dug It!! But that was pretty much it at the time.

     

    Then I hear they broke up but Wilco and Son Volt were the left overs. Really dug Trace, but didn't get to hear AM at the time.

     

    Year's go by and Mermaid comes out, CA stars is getting regular play and I get vol 1. It becomes regular rotation at my house (I got video of my 1yr old dancing to Walt Whitman's Neice. As soon as that drum beat starts, he'd start bouncing every time!!) then I finally get to see them play Farm Aid (not live, on the TV).

     

    So, when YHF comes out I buy it imediately! Fist listen... what the hell?

    Ok, maybe that wasn't my actual reaction, but I didn't listen to it much. Then I got a copy of Summerteeth. After wearing that CD out I went back to YHF and NOW I get it!! Still my favorite Wilco CD and in the top area of my top ten of all time.

     

    So it was a gradual love, but by the time Ghost came out I was a BIG time fan, having gone back into the catalog, and also aquiring all the old UT cds.

    Well, Hey! I just got two tix!

    So If you didn't get your tix, keep trying!

    Wilco's Facebook reply to the obvious concern about shows out there: West Coast dates tba soon for early 2012

     

    Edit: Oops! Uberlee & I posted this at the exact time, so I'll leave up the bit about the West Coast dates.

     

    Oh good... I got worried there. :uhoh

    What Beatles song would you most like to see Wilco cover??

    What would KILL at ANY show, especially Wilco, would be Sun King -through- She Came in Through the Bathroom Window from Abbey Road. Can you imagine!? Listen to that tonight and tell me that wouldn't blow your mind. Man! I'm playing it in my HEAD and I'm inspired...

     

    I've been trying to get my band to do this for YEARS! But don't end it at SCITTBW, go all the way to The End.

     

    And walk off the stage to a recording of Her Majesty.

    :thumbup

     

    Unfortunately my "Band" only gets together about once or twice a year... :ohwell
