    Wilco — 26 February 2017, Chicago, IL (Chicago Theatre) [Night 4 of 4]

    in After The Show

    Posted

    2nd Wilco show. I saw them for the first time in 2015 in Bloomington, IN. I got to the party late, but this has been a great 2 years of deeply discovering Wilco.

     

    Last night, I got a chance to see them for the second time, and this time from second row instead of the balcony. Scored 2nd row tickets out of pure luck after waiting an hour when the tickets went on sale. It was a great set and Jeff was in a great mood. I loved hearing the Being There tracks in the encore.

     

    Random note: I got Aftershow passes through a speaker company I am associated with. A group of us got escorted behind the stage and down into a medium sized room. There was food and drinks. Possibly 50-60 people hanging out that knew the band in some capacity. Everyone from the band came down to hang out besides Jeff. It was a little tough to get in any conversations with anyone, but I did get an opportunity to speak to Nels for about 5 mins. He was super nice and really grateful about how much we enjoyed the show and the band's music. Without being asked, he expressed how great the show was and how much he loves playing with the guys. A really unforgettable night. I hope the radio broadcast shows up somewhere.

    Nels is golden.

    Had a blast at the show last night.  Loved the setlist.  Always enjoy the early stuff (A.M and Being There).  Highlights were Sunken treasure (epic!), Lonely 1, Shouldn't be Ashamed, IG, Via Chicago, ITMWLY, and pretty much the last hour.  We had balcony seats and things were rockin' in our section.  Pat treated us to some windmills and geetar hero poses.  I am grateful that this band treats us to these Winterludes and provides so much access to these shows for the fans.  I find every Wilco concert to be a "greatest hits" concert - simply because of the insanely high quality of the songwriting and musicianship.  No complaints here. :guitar :banana
