    Setlists

    in Just A Fan

    Posted

    I'd say these setlists are typical of setlists introducing a new album. Their priority is to present the new songs, while simultaneously including past favorites the audience will hope to hear. This early in a tour of a new album, it's unreasonable to think they won't stick to a fairly tight setlist to fit it all in. We'll see the setlists expand & loosen up once everyone around Wilco World has had a chance to hear their newest. First things first.

    I've seen several shows from the current tour and they were all pretty satisfying. I thought the "Cousin" material was strong and captivating, but it was nice then to slip inside a familiar favorite like Handshake Drugs or something unexpected from that vast back catalog. They have a lot of songs to remember at this point!

    Anyway, catch them down the line a bit when their focus is less strongly on Cousin, and you'll get more of that mix you're hoping for. I don't think anyone in this band could be called lazy. Right now they're more "focused".

    Friday, Saturday and Sunday:  Drive-By Truckers @ Pappy & Harriet's

     

    Flying to San Diego tomorrow morning, getting picked up at the airport by my oldest son and we're driving to Pioneertown for three nights of DBT-mania.  We're staying with my college roommate who lives in the Palm Springs area.  Can't wait.    

     

    Have you been to Pappy & Harriet's before? You're in for such a treat! If you're having dinner beforehand, I recommend their flat iron steak. Have fun!
    If you have time, drive on down the road past P&H for about 10 minutes...don't turn off at the curve, stay to the straight-ahead road. In about 10 minutes, on your right, you'll come to a very cool pile-up of rock formations close to the roadway, and fun to climb up. No gear needed, it's just a hill with paths worn into it. Neat views! :thumbup

    not so much still life, but still autographed CD. This is when I saw the band perform at WMMM (Triple M in Madison WI) early 2002 iirc

    I loved that era when the band was just Jeff, John, Glenn, and LeRoy. What a handsome little treasure of those times!

    That is Mikael's handwriting. Are you are a graphologist?

     

    The full story is that Donna wasn't able to make it out to L.A. for the signing and asked if I might be able to get a CD signed for her. Mikael was the first person seated at the table. I said, "Hi, Mikael!" He smiled and said hello, displaying no special enthusiasm for me. But when I told him that the CD was actually for Donna a.k.a. Kidsmoke, he lit up and exclaimed, "Donna!" And then he wrote exactly that on the CD.

     

    Now see, Brian, knowing how shy you are, I was going to just leave you as the unmensch-ioned mensch! :spider3

    But it's such a good story and warms my heart. Thank you again for doing the legwork to secure this little beauty. :wub

    And love to the Wilcoes as always.

     

    Wilco — 11 October 2023, Los Angeles, CA (The Bellwether) [Night 1 of 2]

    Those of you lined up at the Bellwether tonight will hopefully have no issues with line management tonight. My husband Bob has been a house manager and so poor house management bugs him. Last night he sought out the house manager and paid his compliments to the venue, as due, but told her about the line fiasco. It appeared to be accidental, in that the restaurant doors upstairs had apparently been, ah, 'left open" by the restaurant security, and people up there just took advantage of it and streamed in early, having already been ID-checked at the restaurant. Vanessa, the House Manager, was very apologetic and assured us it would be corrected tonight.
    I can't be there, but I hope that's the case.:thumbup

    I for one vote for a return of the Goth version of HMD. (FYI this is not a joke - I can't remember where I got it but it is in my iTunes and must be out there "playing Joy Division covers beautiful and alone")

     

    Ta.


    This was in San Francisco on January 12, 2003 at the Great American Music Hall. That bouncy wooden floor was MOVING that night! I remember it was a quick show before they headed to Australia on tour. That is a terrific recording...that whole show! Jeff was so funny singing that goth version in his gothiest voice, and then he ended by posing, frozen, as if crucified, his head dropped. And held that position for a beat, then morphed back into Jeff, grinning, saying, "See? That's how I shoulda done it!" or something like that.:rotfl It was a gloriously funny moment.:rotfl:lol:rotfl
