No problem. I figured 26.5 years after my first Wilco show was enough time to finally register here. Maybe for the 50th anniversary, I'll join Facebook. Another thought on sitting/standing: I like to imagine some of the more recalcitrant sitters at Shea Stadium in 1964, yelling at all the Beatles fans to "Please sit down!"

On the topic of sitting-vs.-standing, I knew we were in for a challenge when they opened with "Bright Leaves," which put a lot of asses in seats, but not in the way that phrase usually suggests. We just held our ground, with support from the Phish fans in Row M to whom a shout-out is owed, secure in the knowledge that people would end up standing and be glad that they did-- and also secure in the knowledge that Jeff would weigh in, albeit obliquely. He asked if people "remember[ed] how to do this" (implying that some clearly didn't), said we've waited a year-and-a-half for this, encouraged p

Waiting in line for the Palladium show on Saturday, Pat came by and told us, "Some bands have the power to get them to shut down the bowling, and we're one of those bands," which I thought was hilarious coming from him. He also exaggeratedly mimed bowling which, again, just slayed us. We told him they should have let people bowl and just integrate the noise into some of the more cacophonous tracks in the set.

The printed set list had "Poor Places" and "Reservations" at the end of the main set. Jeff audibled to the band before "I'm The Man Who Loves You" that they would end the main set with that song.
