OK, if anyone wants to study the spreadsheet (read-only, but you can download and remix to your heart's content), go here:

It's a live document, so I'll be updating it as each new show is documented.

 

The structure is as follows: Set Lists (tab 1), Song list (tab 2), and Pivot Table listing songs by number of times played, in descending order (tab 3).

Fantastic. Thanks!

All of Wilco came out w/ MMJ for Isn't It A Pity

Nels with the lap steel? It's what I'd do if I were Nels, and god willing, someday I will be.

Some day, one of us will be cobbling together a "Wilco Plays the Dead" mix from these shows.

I'd love it even on cassette like my old Dead shows.

WIlco & Weir > Dylan & The Dead

Don't get me wrong on that. Garcia was a great interpreter of Dylan's songs. There are beautiful Dead and Jerry Garcia Band versions of many of Bob's tunes. However, as a backing band for Bob on the Dylan & The Dead tour, that didn't work for me at all.

Contrast that with how perfectly Wilco and Weir have meshed. I'll remember the Tampa show for a long time to come and I'm thankful to anyone that's gotten recordings of the other shows.

Wilco and Weir. I never thought that'd be a thing, but what a cool thing it turned out to be. 

Wilco and Weir is turning out to be a very fun combo. Hoping to hear this set soon. Thanks for posting the setlist.

Okay, so to put the set list in a nice readable format...

 

One by One

Hesitating Beauty

Muzzle of Bees

War on War

Sunken Treasure

IATTBYH

Art of Almost

Hummingbird

Dawned on Me

Dead Flowers (w/ Bob Weir)

Friend of the Devil (world premiere w/ Bob Weir)

Handshake Drugs

Impossible Germany

Born Alone

Walken

I Got You

 

Looks like I missed Born Alone in my play-by-play. Oops.

They didn't play Born Alone last night. Walken definitely followed immediately after Impossible Germany.

I do believe it is an all-time first. Weir sang lead and I believe Jeff and John sang harmony. Jeff may have tried a verse, but I was too busy trying to post and being overexcited to remember the details. For a Deadhead/Wilco fanatic, it was pretty damn epic. Gotta sleep now, but if anyone has other feedback on the set list, corrections, etc., feel free to add. Peace.

You're correct, Jeff attempted to sing the final verse. Seemed like he fumbled the lyrics a bit, but (A) Jerry did that about a thousand times, and ( it was just really cool to see/hear Bobby doing a Hunter/Garica tune backed by Wilco. Bobby even took a brief guitar solo. I told my wife that it's cute that Bobby grew up to be Jerry. It was also 18 years this week that I saw my final Dead show (with Dylan opening, by the way) which was my wife's first (and last) Dead show. 

Overall, I thought it was a great set. "One by One" was a great choice to open, and I agree with the poster that suggested Tweedy is opening with Woody's songs as a nod to Bob. Now let's just hope plenty of people have tape rolling the night Bob decides to join them.

I loved Bob's set as well. Most people around us either left, seemed bored, or didn't really respond until he played "Tangled Up in Blue" or "Watchtower." He had me from the start. I love the late-period Dylan sound. The song selections are strong ones from these albums. When he plays things from his classic period he still loves to rearrange them. I really enjoyed that, not for the least of reasons that it stopped a lot of people from singing along too loudly.
