Yeah, watching that guy work his magic was one of the best parts of the show for me! It was just really cool seeing how he created all the different sound effects. Glenn was chatting with him afterward, maybe learning a few tricks of the trade. And although I couldn't see it all that well, I love that Nels "sat in" with the house band on "Hound Dog," which led into Wilco's second mini-set. His versatility never ceases to amaze.

On about 8:50 pm, off about 11:15 pm. Give or take a few minutes.

More like doing a little soloing on electric guitar (looked like he might have even borrowed one of Jeff's Gibson SGs). Oh, and the setlist agonistes posted to start this thread was correct, as played. They stuck to the script exactly, as she pointed out. Nice to meet you Mel!

Thanks for the words of support, ditty. And very sorry to have bored you, heffer (but if you ever need a hand getting that stick out of your ass, definitely feel free to give me a call ).

That's what the "Setlist Matcher" on Wilcobase is for! (Actually, that's the first time I've ever had occasion to use that function. )

Interesting tidbit: According to Wilcobase, Cars Can't Escape and A Magazine Called Sunset have only been played at the same show five, now six, times (and actually, one was at a Living Room show, so it's really five times at an actual Wilco show). Three of the five times have been in Iowa -- twice at Val-Air Ballroom in Des Moines (9-17-03 and 3-9-08) and tonight in Iowa City. Weird. The other two times, incidentally, at were the first Auditorium Theatre shows (9-19-03 and 9-20-03). I can't say tonight's rendition of Cars was the finest one ever, though. Jeff flubbed a lyric and Nels, wh

I dunno...I think Jeff could do a great job on "Crazy."

Yeah, they're on a little Midwest/East coast tour right now in fact. I'm going to see them tonight in Philly, where they're opening for the Fruit Bats. I'm pretty sure the first half of this tour is just going to be the duo lineup with Mike and his friend Chris Girard, so I'm not sure what they're playing exactly. Probably just stripped-down versions of the All is Golden songs, if I had to guess. Greg, check 'em out if you get a chance. And p.s., Electro...love the videos for the Cheetah!

Didn't see it discussed elsewhere in this long thread, so forgive me if it has. But this is just going to be a CD (and mp3 download) release, right? I haven't seen vinyl mentioned anywhere. Just wondering.

Sam, unfortunately I didn't really take any photos at the Dublin shows. I probably should have, but I forgot to bring my camera the first night and then I didn't have a great angle of anyone but Nels last night. So I just decided to enjoy the show... Anyway, look forward to seeing your pictures. And you should definitely put some on Flickr!

If Wilco were still around then, I think that'd be a record or something.

Just so there's no confusion, since a couple songs were cut off from the above photo of the setlist, this was the complete set as played: —"The Price Is Right" theme music intro— Bull Black Nova You Are My Face One Wing A Shot in the Arm At Least That's What You Said IATTBYH Impossible Germany Deeper Down Jesus, etc. Sonny Feeling Nothing'severgonnastandinmyway(again) You Never Know I'm Always In Love Theologians I'm The Man Who Loves You Poor Places> Reservations> Spiders (Kidsmoke) --------------------- Wilco (the song) Heavy Metal Drummer Passenger Side California Stars (w/Blitzen T

Nah, it's not nearly as tiny as Otto's. Probably about 1,500-2,000 capacity if I had to guess. There's a U-shaped balcony with seats, so that adds some room. And there's a similar U-shaped ring of seats on the main floor as well, though I don't know if those are GA or reserved or what. But anyway, the stage is pretty low and the acoustics are just really good for a club. It's actually a pretty nice space; the main floor is carpeted. You definitely wouldn't find that at Otto's.

Sorry, B. I usually post the setlist first and then go back and edit the post if I feel like tacking some notes onto the end or whatever.

Here was the setlist for the first night at Vicar Street: —"The Price Is Right" theme music intro— Wilco (the song) IATTBYH> One Wing A Shot in the Arm Bull Black Nova You Are My Face I'll Fight Impossible Germany It's Just That Simple Sonny Feeling Handshake Drugs (w/Janet Weiss on shakers) Jesus, etc. You Never Know Hate It Here Walken I'm The Man Who Loves You Hummingbird --------------------- A Magazine Called Sunset Misunderstood> Spiders (Kidsmoke) --------------------- Box Full of Letters Can't Stand It Hoodoo Voodoo I'm A Wheel The printed setlist indicated that the first son

Perhaps there will be a cake. Or a trifle. Or something.

To be honest, I've never had the easiest time posting pictures on here. But I could try, I suppose.

Ah, thanks for clarification. I was just going by my old CD copy of the tracklisting. I didn't think these reissues were going to have any "new" content, so it makes sense that they're just officially spelling out what was already there.

This will be the first time for Anodyne on vinyl, no?

My copy of the Summerteeth reissue arrived today from Insound, so it's on the way! Woo hoo! There's two extra songs tacked onto the end of Side D. Well, one extra if you just count Candyfloss being officially listed by name. The other "extra" is a remix of A Shot in the Arm. There doesn't seem to be any info about whether this is an old remix or a new one or who did the remixing. But anyway... It's a gatefold cover, typical of the Nonesuch pressings of Wilco stuff. And a CD version of the record is also included, as per usual with Nonesuch. The CD copy doesn't seem to have the Shot in the

Liam (not mention his cohort Eliza Jane, who would hopefully be along with him) is a really awesome performer, so hopefully people will give him/them a fair shot. I know they've got a new EP coming out soon, so I'm sure he/they will play some stuff off that. And I just have to say, in response to the comment about John Doe, that everyone's entitled to their opinion of course. But John Doe is a legend, and it's insulting to say that Nels or Wilco "must owe them something" for them to have been opening that run of shows last year. And I'm not sure where you get "90s-style shitty generic rock b

Oh, I was just going by Wilcobase (Rob has that Martyr's snippet listed as "A Long Time Ago"). Haha, I was actually at that Martyr's show too, and I thought I didn't remember this Long Time Ago being played. So perhaps last night was the live solo debut? Thanks for setting the record straight, B.

Yeah, seems like it's only been played once before solo (not sure about living room shows) — at Martyr's in '03. And then once with Golden Smog when Jeff played the one show at the Vic in '06. At least that's all I could find.

Plenty of VCers in attendance, so I'll just reserve comment and simply post the setlist for tonight's benefit show at the lovely Emanuel Congregation: —Hebrew prayer (Baruch atah adonai, elohaynu melech ha'olam boray p'ri ha'gafen)— Sunken Treasure Remember The Mountain Bed I'll Fight Hummingbird Muzzle of Bees Long Time Ago Laminated Cat/Not For The Season Someday, Some Morning, Sometime —Happy Birthday sung to both "Mary Beth" and Rabbi Zedek— Box Full of Letters Airline to Heaven [requested as "Airplane to Heaven" ] Theologians A Shot in the Arm Pick Up The Change [stopped and restarted
