    Wilco — 12 October 2019, New York, NY (Radio City Music Hall)

    These set lists are gangbusters. Hope to make DC on Tuesday, and super excited (can I use that phrase as a 53 year old....yup)

    for tonight’s webcast.

     

    Sadly fall tour does not line up with parent/ work stuff, yet I was able to grab some birthday tickets last night for my boy and his mate. In kind, they sent me some pics from the balcony.

    I screamed I cried I laughed.

    Spread that love, my fam.

    Went last night after having seen many shows since 2004. While, yes, the music was predictably professional, creative and amazing I found the whole experience to be a bit of a characiture of itself. It felt like being in a Disney world exhibit - "wilco: the concert experience." Perhaps it was the all white (albeit one), predominantly male, aging hipster makeup of the audience, an audience whose beards are now slightly more well kempt, whose clothes are slightly more expensive, whose lives are, one could imagine, more stable than than years gone by. My girlfriend helped elucidate how very Male the energy was in the place and it didnt help being surrounded by drunk bros having love fests with themselves in scenes that snl would have been hard put to improve.Or maybe it was the balding late thirties man in a plaid button down pogoing in the front row as if this was lounge ax c. 2000. I felt bad for the band having to play. For jeff standing in as a substitute for the chaos and creativity and defiance we subdue. But of course jeff himself has softened and calmed over time himself. Likely it was all my projections and personal losses and I sound like just another schmuck pining for the glory days when things felt edgier and hope could be scraped out of three hours with a band I adored.

    . Hmmmmm......never mind. I’ll save energy for spreading love.
