    Wilco playing The Hideout Block Party!

    in Just A Fan

    Posted

    Thank you, Jimmy Coulas for the heads -up rumour !

    Once I heard Lin Brehmer would be making a Major announcement to the Hideout lineup @ 8:20; I bought some 2 day passes @ 7:45 AM.

    Wilcoworld.net is finally listing the event. 9 / 14 & 15

    I'm wondering if both nights or just Saturday headliner.

    It is wonderful to tune in and catch up on the latest about Wilco happenings.

    From Grammy Mccar greetings to MMA 3 and even WGN weathman...

     

    It's interesting that Jeff has lately refered to Wilco as being a "pop" band.

    Freedom to play all popular genres? ( lets hope/ sky is the limit ).

    The expanding scope of Wilco's music influence is evident in the R&B/ Blues arena with the Mavis Staples up coming show with JC Brooks and the Uptown Sound as opener. ( of course with JC Brooks' blues cover of IATTBYH )

    SO many times during this set I was like "OH MY GOD, I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY PLAYED THAT" and then they just kept finding ways to top the last really awesome thing. It was largely an acoustic-driven set, with Jeff only using the electric guitar for the new songs (didn't use an electric at all up until Born Alone). John got a HUGE ovation for Just That Simple. This was the first time I heard the full-band-acoustic-arrangement for Spiders, which was amazing. Spiders was my number 2 moment of the night, just cause the Misunderstood second encore was just TOO perfect. Also loved Not For The Season and all the Mermaid Ave cuts in general. It felt a lot like a Jeff solo show, in that he used the acoustic guitar a lot, there were quite a few deep cuts, and for most of the show the lights weren't overpowering. They didn't bring along the big lighting that they used the first few nights, and instead had a few lamps around the stage. Of course for the new songs (especially Art of Almost) they made great use of the lights that Lincoln Hall just normally has, but most of the show the lights were pretty subdued. I haven't been seeing Wilco as long as some on the board, but this was definitely my favorite Wilco show. Just, wow.

     

     

    The full-band-accoustic-arraingment for Spiders was amazing . Perfect for this room. Amazing effort, This crowd loved it.

    Great Show!

    If only every venue could be like this...

    We arrived at showtime after barbeque and were amongst the last to arrive.

    In the back of the room and could still see that "bob" on Jeff's every fifth guitar!

     

    Jeff asked what she was ranting about.

    As she passed by me on the way out was ranting,:"What about the 99?"

    She was loud and defiant. Smiling saying next stop: Oakland !!

     

    Crazy rides rockets ..

    "Supplemental hair"

     

    That brought alotta laughs off camera! Fun stuff.

    I was wondering when Jeff referred to the 7 day forcast as optimistic; was the Mayan calendar deal running through his head? lol

    7 day forcast would've taken us to 12/22/2011 :]

    Dropping Misunderstood for Heavy Metal Drummer must have been down to timing reasons as they were very close to 11pm curfew when it started. Jeff actually said something like 'we've just got time for one more' - Misunderstood would have taken them over which is a shame as it's one of their finest live tunes and probably my fav. Sending the crowd off with 40 plus 'NOTHING's would have been the perfect end to a great show. Probably going to nip over to Paris in the spring as I have a couple of young nephews over there I've converted to the cause over the last few years. Allez les Wilcos!

     

    Ha! 40+ !! Indeed!

    Thanks to all for all the reviews, setlists and insights! Especially Flying Burrito Bro for extensive research/reporting!! I have tics for the 2nd and Final Chicago shows and appriciate songlist updates. I know all setlists may fly out the Window in Dec/Chicago on any given night. However, "Banter Corner" is priceless !!

    Today's gem of the day: I called the Front Line "800" number and got 2 pre-sale tickets! I had to be at work at 4pm and away from 'puter. I called the 1-800# at 3pm and was able to glean that there was a 2 minute preamble/babble recording before speaking to an operator. I called at 3:58pm and got through and had to make small talk for 30 secs until service rep's computer screen could take my info! Presto!!

     

    Good Luck to all Wilco fans!

    P.S.

    I had no such luck with the Civic Opera show!( no really! )

    I'd love to find at least 1 (one!) ticket for Monday's show...

     

    Pls send PM to Jcamp if any Dec 12 tics are available.. ask for Joe.

    Cheers.

    Because, for that moment, the jackass become significant. For good or bad, people crave significance. At least that's what Tony Robbins told me.

    I prefer Tom Robbins to Tony Robbins !!

    Thank you for such a wonderful and hilarious thread.

     

    Was the long long wait for Chicago shows intentional as to be after the mid-October official Olympic 2016 host city announcement ?

     

    I'm hopin' to see Wilco at the Auditorium in late Nov

    For the third Wilco album in a row Laurie's Planet of Sound is teaming up with the Hideout to bring you a night of singing along to your favorite Wilco tunes as played by The Late Greats (Wilco Ensemble from the Old Town School of Folk Music)! There should be cool schwag for everyone who gets up on stage and of course the album (in as many formats as they choose to offer it to us) will be on sale at midnight! I for one cannot get the amazing memory of Kris and Lou duetting on "Hotel Arizona" at the Sky Blue Sky Party.
