Just back home from Amsterdam. Wow. That was a great show. Started with: Ashes Of American Flags, Remember The Mountain Bed and Company In My Bed. The exact three songs I was hoping to hear tonight.. NICE.

Took plenty of nice pictures, will share later!

Nice setlist for a festival.

I agree. For a festival it was OK. A bit conservative maybe, no big surprises, but it sure was great to hear the new songs.

Non-Wilco question...does anybody know if Them Crooked Vultures were surprise performer at the fest? Did anyone see them? And if so, how were they?

The surprise act at Pukkelpop was in the same tent, and in the slot right after Wilco. Rumors had been flying around for days before the festival that it would be Them Crooked Vultures. Just before surprise act was starting, the skies went dark and all hell broke loose. Thunder and lightning, and heavy rains for about 10 or 15 minutes. It wasn't comfortable in that tent with all the people rushing in to get cover and see the surprise act, I can tell you.

However, it indeed were Them Crooked Vultures! With Josh Homme on guitar and vocals, it sounded pretty much like QOTSA, maybe with a darker edge to it. Dave Grohl looked like 'Animal' from the Muppet Show behind his drum kit, he was having a lot of fun. John Paul Jones was clearly having fun as well, and the entire band sounded pretty well-rehearsed. The highlight for me was this moment where Josh Homme and John Paul Jones huddled close to the Dave's drums and jammed for a while. You could just feel the good vibes flowing off the stage. Looking forward to the album!

Saw Wilco at Pukkelpop last Thursday. I enjoyed the show, although there weren't any big surprises.

I forgot to take notes of the setlist, but it included:

from the new album:

- Wilco (The Song)

- Bull Black Nova

- One Wing

- Sonny Feeling

oldies:

- I Am Trying To Break Your Heart

- A Shot In The Arm

- Heavy Metal Drummer

- Impossible Germany

- You Are My Face

- Hate It Here

- Walken

- Spiders (Kidsmoke)

- Handshake Drugs

- Jesus, Etc.

They certainly weren't in that order, though, and I might've missed a song or two.

And hey, hi Matias! We met before Jeff's Shepherd's Bush show in Nov. '05, remember? I was with Dunja. I'm still enjoying the live Minus Five you gave me.

That's a different Matias, I'm sure :-) I should convince him to post more here, but Matias is from Argentina, living on Mallorca for a few months. His first Wilco show was the one in Zaragosa (sp?), and this one on Mallorca was the first solo Jeff show for both of us.

Oh, and I'll post some more pictures later.

Hey Peqger :-)

Just getting up at 4, early flight, long warm day in Palma, and a cool show. No hard liquor :-) Hard to remember a setlist after days like that.

I posted what I remember of the setlist here:

Awesome show.. Still buzzing.

PS what

Here is what we remember of last night

This Wednesday, I will attend the Mallorca show with my good friend Matias. He's a big fan of Wilco and converted me :-)

I'm pretty sure he got us front row tickets, see you there!

I too hope the show was taped!!! I looked around from where i was in the back, but didnt notice any tapers (in my limited view)

I definitely saw a mic stand right in front of the soundboard, with two small mics on top. Not sure if that was the band's rig or not, do they 'audience tape' themselves at every show? Here's hoping for a torrent...

Great gig, by the way. It was the first Wilco concert I attended. Paradiso was seriously packed last night, great atmosphere. Chatted to Pat a bit after the show, when I bumped into him in the lobby. Nice guy.
