A Down Under tour early next year would fly in the face of the comments in an email from Wilco HQ in June about "downshifting into the semi-hiatus of recording mode for much of 2013."

I'm wondering when they will announce support for this show myself. I don't think it will be Jonathan Richman. More likely an LA band like Dawes?

The crowd is mixed really high between songs. Kind of annoying.

I'm capturing the stream with Audio Hijack Pro. Has worked in the past well.

Wilco's website says 125 tickets are left.

PS: Looks like they are going to try to break that record in LA this September. The capacity of the Hollywood Bowl is 18,000+.

judging from the pic 'hundreds' and 'filled' seem overstatements

Yes, looks like picture was taken hours before the show started.

"Hundreds of people filled Bayfront Festival Park in Duluth Sunday night, jamming to Wilco, the acclaimed sextet from Chicago."

The picture is priceless.

This is wonderful. Thanks for sharing.

Congrats you are now in two-way tie with "Wilco Me" for the gold medal of this thread with 9 shows...

Wilco Me's list...

Well, that's an honor as we met her at St. Aug and sat with her both nights in the second row at Red Rocks. If we could only coax her out to Santa Fe in September she would win hands down...

Updated!

1) Miami - May 15

2) St Augustine - May 16

3) Red Rocks - June 22

4) Red Rocks - June 23

5) Santa Fe - Sept 18 (hometown, woohoo!)

6) Jacksonville, OR - Sept 25

7) Redding, CA - Sept 26

8) Avila Beach, CA - Sept 29

9) Hollywood Bowl - September 30

Coast to coast!!!

Sounds like they just got tired of playing "Bull Black Nova" and "One Wing" all the time, and dropped them for a few shows. And those are really the only two W(TA) songs that have remained in the set consistently. But I'm sure "Wilco (the Song)" and "You Never Know" will get rotated back in eventually.

 

Part of the problem is that the better songs from that album like "Solitaire" and "Deeper Down" are quiet songs that don't come off particularly well live. Great to see "Country Disappeared" make an appearance last night; I like that one.

Both "I'll Fight" and (ahem) "Sonny Feeling" have been played regularly as well. To the best of my knowledge, "Solitaire" has never been played by Wilco in public.

"Wilco (The Song)" was on the setlist in St. Augustine but was cut after a power outage and onrushing curfew.

Someone should just violate Godwin's Law and get this over with.

Aw hell, I'll do it myself. You know who else liked Wilco (The Album)? Hitler. (If you don't get that reference, follow the link in the previous paragraph.)

There. That (and the Davenport setlist, which includes One Wing and Country Disappeared and officially snaps the W(TA) shutout at seven shows) officially ends this thread.

Six shows into the current leg of the tour, and still nothing from W(TA). Edited: Make that seven.

 

 

Please use complete sentences.

That.

Because with even as few as three key strokes - IMO- you can indicate to others that you are not invalidating the opinion of everyone who disagrees with you. And that in turn creates a respectful environment as opposed to one where people are less interested in discussion and more interested in being correct and "winning". In my view, its just being polite and it makes message boards far more pleasant places to hang out. I get that others may not care about that.

Yes. And yes. And hell yes.

I call bullshit on that "stretching songs into eight minutes" part.

I hope a recording of that show surfaces soon. When it does, I suspect we will find that there are no songs that exceed 8 minutes except One Sunday Morning. That was the case at Red Rocks, where they played 51 songs, and only One Sunday Morning was over 8 monutes.

I just checked the timing for Art of Almost, one of the "jammiest" songs in the Wilco repertoire. On the album, it clocks in at 7:16. They played it at both Red Rocks shows, with track times of 7:21 and 7:25, respectively.

And then there's Impossible Germany, which was 5:55 on the album and gets stretched out by a minute or so for a live show, giving Nels a little time in the spotlight. At Red Rocks, Impossible Germany was 6:59 and 7:10, or about a minute more than the performance the reviewer is supposedly comparing it to.

Unless someone fed the band some special brownies backstage in Utah, causing them to bring out their inner Phish, I suspect this show was exactly the same.

Guy's a decent writer, too bad he just blew this story.

PS: I'm a journalist myself. I publish stuff all the time. I really hate to see sloppy work like this.

We are now four shows into the final leg of the 2012 U.S. tour. The band has played more than 50 songs from their rich catalog, representing every album back to A.M. (1995).

Except one.

Not a single song from Wilco (The Album) yet.

So, who's going to the Bowl on September 30 for the last U.S. show of the year? We'll be there, and were lucky enough to get seats in Pool Section D, Row 6. Our friends (Wilco virgins) are in terrace box row 1247.

There are lots of useless seating charts. It took me forever to find this detailed version, so I decided to save everyone else the grief I went through:

Also, that night is a full moon. I am not making this up:

http://aa.usno.navy.mil/cgi-bin/aa_moonphases.pl?year=2012&ZZZ=END

someone check my work, but not a single song off of Wilco (The Album) at either show?

You beat me to it.

At St. Augustine a few weeks ago they had Wilco (The Song) on the setlist to open the first encore, but cut it (and Passenger Side) because of curfew.

But lately they've not been showing a whole lot of love to W(TA).

If all you see is GA, that's a very good sign it's a GA show.

Thank you Wilco and FrontGate Tickets. Four seats Orchestra Center, front row!

can i ride the rail??

 

how bout the damn beach show in cali??!! good lord you know that would be great

Reserved seating only at the Opera House.

As for the beach show in Cali, we'll be there. In fact, we're doing the run of shows starting in Southern Oregon, then Redding, then Avila Beach, then Hollywood Bowl.

Weird note: Each of the first three shows in that run is the hometown of a member of my wife's family. So we have a place to stay for each show.

If you are planning a road trip, I really can't imagine a better venue than this. It is stunningly beautiful and acoustically awesome. We are thrilled that we will finally get to see the band in our hometown.

Presale is June 20, 10 AM Mountain Time.

Hope to see as many of you as possible here.

Have not heard this album, but unless Neil is donating the proceeds to a charity of some sort, this is NOT the same thing.

I didn't say that, nor did I mean to imply it. But the two albums have something in common in that they both exclusive feature familiar (mostly American) standards that you would never expect to be covered by rock-and-roll icons. And the results are suitably weird.
