Just noticed a boot of the Cove show on Owl and Bear. Great memories...

Great show, but had hoped to hear a few more tunes. I got greedy after seeing recent 36-39 song set lists.

I really enjoyed the atmosphere (my first outdoor Wilco show) and chatting up the locals. I brought my 10 & 13 year olds, and was it was great to see so many other kids there. We're raising our children right.

Starting to give up hope of getting a recording of the Wharton show. Bummer. Jeff's stage banter was first rate.

I was told that Wilco had a "light show", and my my only thought was that they certainly don't need one. I saw the East Lansing show last night, and I was knocked out by the backdrop and lighting. It was more of an art installation than a light show. It really enhanced the performance. Awesome.

Er, does Steve Carell handle the vocals?

Oops. Wilco with Special Guest...

>>>What did they eat?

Wilco enjoyed salad, teriyaki chicken, grilled ahi tuna, roasted veggies and a wild mushroom dish. I enjoyed easing backstage during soundcheck.

Every time I saw Nels pull out the lapsteel, I was hoping for Sunken Treasure, which was the only one in the top 5 requested songs that didn't get played. Hrmph. >_

 

Otherwise, excellent show, excellent encore, excellent energy.

 

Maybe I have horrible hearing, but it sounded like both the left and right channels were blasted on both sides of the auditorium or I never realized this.

I worked backstage catering before the show, and swore I saw "Treasure" written at the top of Jeff's set list. Lost a buck to my buddy when they opened with BBNova. Great show, my favorite was "At Least That's What She Said", like always.

Nice pics, BCart. Thanks for the Picasa link.
