Buckle up everyone... you don't want to miss the fireworks.

Shadow Government = FUCKED. Checkmate. Game over. Over 300 sealed indictments in the last few days.

President Trump = Military Intelligence Asset... he was asked to run and provided protection by MI... he is surrounded by Generals for a reason.

Deep State is in deep shit.

This should be fun.

Just got a GA pit ticket for St. Louis off StubHub for a very reasonable price.

It seems to be missing from the archive now.

I happen to listen to my first Wilco show the other day. Memphis 10/30/2002 and was reminded of a couple of things. It is a great show and there is a pristine soundboard of it to listen to. I particularly remember how intense "misunderstood" was, the Jeff was almost in convulsions and lots of spit was coming out during the "thank you" crescendo. I was not sure until yesterday whether this was just a memory or that really, it is quite a cathartic performance. Well, it is, you can listen for yourself here.

 

What I was wondering how many permutations did this song go through? And might this be the most intensive period of performance? I listened to a few other years that I have and did not feel anything compared. Also wondering who was onstage playing guitar as I know Nels was not there, nor Pat or Jay?

You wouldn't happen to have the rest of the show, would you?  This was my first Wilco show and one of the first concerts I ever attended (I was 12).

Here's a setlist I saw earlier

 

Anyone else see that they were recording in Memphis?

Jody Stephens runs Ardent Studios so it does not surprise me at all that Wilco dropped by on their day off.

Long time lurker, first time poster.  Great show last night.  Slight deviation from the printed set in the encore.

I guess I'll do the bbop thing and try to give an overall assessment of the concert.  I didn't catch Margaret Glaspy's set because I was stuffing my face with a BBQ shrimp po boy down the street.  There was little to no drama as far as the sit vs. stand debate was concerned.  Almost everyone in the orchestra rose to their feet when IATTBYH started and remained standing for the rest of the show.  Some guy in one of the luxury boxes next to the stage started waving an American flag   attached to a giant pole during the end of Impossible Germany and one of the ushers went upstairs and took it away from him  .   There was some lively banter, and I won't recap all of it since most of it is already on Youtube.  When Jody came out, he was wearing the exact same outfit Glenn was wearing (blue jumpsuit w/identical patches) and Jeff said something to the effect of: "see, we cloned Glenn, we have 2 Glenn's now."  He also made a remark about the font on the Exit signs in the venue and how neat it was.  It's impossible to see the upper section of the Orpheum from where I was sitting, so I did not get a sense of how many people were in the upper sections.  Maybe someone closer to the stage could give us an idea of overall attendance.

This was my 9th Wilco show in the Memphis area, and I would put it in the top 3 for sure along with Orpheum 2009 and Mud Island 2012.  Can't complain about the setlist at all, though I was looking forward to hearing the electric version of Spiders.  Again, 28 songs: 6 from YHF, 5 from AGIB, and 4 from BT, so I can't complain.
