I went to the show last night. I have not listened to a lot of Wilco, but did my “homework” and listened to YHF several times over the last two months. I also watched the documentary about the album. I had been following the reviews and controversy re night 1 being short.
A few thoughts:
1. Excellent performance of YHF last night. The lighting is also on point and sets the mood.
2. After being there, I can understand why they/Jeff might have wanted to keep the show to just YHF. When Reservations ends the feeling in the room is something else. I would enjoy walking out of the theatre with that being the mood. I think the only mistake they made was not announcing it when the shows were announced. For example: “Wilco is playing special shows to commemorate YHF. Unlike regular shows, the album will be the full performance.” Had they done that no one could be legitimately upset and the artistry of the moment could’ve happened.
I would go see this show again, but sadly cannot make it tonight. Amazing performance of YHF.
