But this is the setlist I copied/pasted from this thread over in "Just A Fan" by telescopic poems (cool screen name by the way!)
that's not the issue
uh, that wasn't played. not saying you are wrong, wendy, but whoever did the setlist you copied made a boo-boo. they probably meant "it's just that simple."

Wait.......I m confused? Are they playing Outta Site from Disk 2 or 1 from Being There recently? If it is 2 paint me jealous!
Nope, except for the one residency show, they've just been doing the standard rockin' Outtasite (Outta Mind). Not to be confused with Outta Mind (Outta Sight).
For me, one of the funniest parts of last night's show for me (other than the bra incident) was when they went into Outtasite after Monday, which apparently wasn't planned. Anyway, the Total Pros didn't know what was going on and once they realized they didn't know or have a part in the song, they all sort of slunk away off stage. Jeff later apologized for surprising them with that one.

John Doe is a talented musician. I appreciate his abilities but I just wasn't into it at all. Sort of static music. At least to me anyways.
Pretty sure aside from the camera crew, there was a taper there too.
Oh, boy were there tapers. You don't even know. But I think there were enough just "regular" tapers that a recording will get out sooner than later. I was practically tripping over stands at the back by the soundboard.
And as for John Doe, I thought he was really, really good. The "The New World" flowing into the Beatles' "Revolution" was very cool and the stuff off his latest solo album "A Year in the Wilderness" sounded great live. The woman singing with him (I guess sort of in the Exene role), Cindy Wasserman, seems like one of the nicest people ever. You should definitely get there early to check John and his band out. Heck, Nels plays a song with them and Jeff said none of the Wilco guys would be where they are if not for John Doe. That's a pretty dang good endorsement.
-
Yeah, it's nowhere near as cold as it was in Chicago. We didn't get there too too early. Sorry that you couldn't be there, Greg. We got a Jesse Hamm sighting, though.
-
uh, where's that smokin' set list paul, enquiring, bored in the suburbs at parent's house minds want to know.
Sorry Greg, wanted to get the topic up but the complete set is there now in my original post.

I really don't think you want to show up to the venue on Feb. 29. The show's been rescheduled for Aug. 7! Check the Just A Fan forum.
-
Hey BBop, I was looking for you last night, and about 2/3rds of the way through I spotted you!
Hopefully I wasn't too foolish looking.
-
Isn't this the third night in a row that's happened? Do you think they're purposely listing more songs than they can play, and then picking/choosing from those? Or do they need someone who's good at math to step in and take charge? (Uyen?)
I think they're probably optimistic that they can get to everything, then the clock starts ticking and adjustments have to be made. (I don't know for sure, but I think it gets fairly expensive when a band goes too far over curfew, so that has to be adhered to pretty closely.)
BTW, remember when they used to have those setlists that had what I dubbed "the bonus box" on them? Basically a list of songs at the side that they could choose to substitute in or not depending on time/the crowd/etc. I guess they don't need that now since, technically, they know everything in the catalog.
-

Hate It Here
Heavy Metal Drummer
Red-Eyed and Blue>
I Got You (At The End of the Century)
Monday>
Outtasite (Outta Mind)
Funniest part of the show, easily, was when they came back on for the encore and launched into Hate It Here. Before too long Jeff realized that they were sans Pat. Somehow Pat just never made it back on stage, but they continued playing the song and looking at each other quizzically. Finally, about two-thirds of the way through (coincidentally, right after his "I check the phone" cue), Pat returned to a big ovation. Haha.
Also happened to notice, from a setlist that a girl was holding, that Casino Queen was slated to be the closer. But they were running very short on time, so Outtasite made more sense at that point.
A solid, workmanlike show, though it seemed like the crowd energy was a little muted tonight -- at least on the floor (except for the guy next to me who was rocking out so intently that he dropped his cell phone, which smashed into several pieces). Most people stood up for most of the show, so I don't know if it was just the room or what, but it seemed like there was never that huge roar. Or at least few of them.

Congrats, Eric! He's a handsome guy. Hope everyone's doing well...
-
If this is true, and it makes sense that it is, then that does suck for you Charlestonians. But at least they've already got a rescheduled date up. I know Spoon had to cancel a couple shows when they were offered SNL, so it's probably something that happens fairly frequently. Can't really pass up an opportunity to be on national TV on a highly visible show...
-
> I'm extremely, extremely bummed to not be able to go these, but unfortunately it just can't be helped.
you're not flying out to some foreign country around that time, are you?
I wouldn't do that.
-
Thank you all for the warm compliments. For me, YOU are as much a part of the whole experience as the band. That's not to say I wouldn't enjoy the band were they to play to an empty theater (I was fortunate enough to see them do Pieholden 3 times that way during soundcheck)
I may not post often, nor can I match Paul and his likes in attendance, but I'm as diehard as the rest of you.
Hey Charles...I just wanted to say fabulous work, as always. It always puts a smile on my face when I see one of your pictures up on Wilcoworld, because I know the work you put into shooting each show and what a big fan you are. I think it's great the band has found a way to use so much of the fantastic talents of its fanbase lately, like your photos and Johnny's posters. I'll see you again, sooner rather than later I hope. I look forward to seeing your shots from this past week when you get them processed!
-
I'm extremely, extremely bummed to not be able to go these, but unfortunately it just can't be helped. I'm developing a very poor track record when it comes to Glenn's NYC appearances. First, the Mike Patton/Rahzel gigs at Warsaw, then opening for Andrew Bird at Radio City last year.
Anyone who can go to these gigs, though, should. I bet they will be quite awesome.
-
Anyone know any specifics about a possible Wilco VH1 story or segment. It was confirmed by a couple of people that Jeff and John were being interviewed on the stage pre-show one day at the Riv. They also shot some live footage apparently. I tried the VH1 site, but I'll I could find was lots of garbage about Bret Michaels.
I have no insight about when stuff taped at the Residency would air, or in what format. As far as I know, we're still waiting for (or perhaps cringing at the thought of) that footage from last summer's show at the Pines Theater in Northampton to show up. That was supposedly shot for some VH1-related thing as well, wasn't it?

Becca- (alto sax)- A friend of Nels from Denver who happened to have her sax with her, so we roped her into playing. I'd never met her before this weekend, but she was great, and sight-read everything perfectly.
FYI: Becca's last name is Michalak, I believe. I know she's done a few shows with Nels in LA and Denver in the past.
And I can't really add anything to what's already been said here, but thanks for all of your contributions the past week and for heading out East next week.

I'm glad some folks came out tonight, it was a lot of fun.
maybe the best discovery, aside from tasty $3 mystery brews, was that a certain vc moderator (cough...maudie...cough) is a guitar hero prodigy!
-
got this nice note yesterday after an email friend, Kyle, stopped by to talk to Basia and Holly in Portland:
aww, that was sweet of Basia. you've been doing a great job with the virtual street team, T.
too bad that i didn't get to Chicago just a few days earlier to catch her show here. would have been great to see her do that Sam Cooke song.

I know TJ had a pretty serious health scare recently. Glad to hear that he's doing better!
-
I have met approximately 8,000 VCers.
Maybe not quite. But I live near Chicago, I travel a lot, and I've been on VC for a long time, so.
Who are you again?
-
Yeah, Evonne...that's the all-you-can-eat bacon place. Unfortunately, I think you'll be somewhat tied up on Monday night....
-
Happy happy day, m'dear! I'm sure Mart will serenade you with birthday melodies a'plenty...
Here's to another great year filled with more meals at Dino, plenty of wonderful vino, fun-filled road trips, shows at Largo and of course, a national championship for the Terps!

i don't know anything about the warner (venue), but i agree that the warner (taper) is classy.
and apropos of nothing, i was thinking that whoever got hit by nels' slide last night ought to get a signed pick or something. i remember reading a couple recent articles about fans getting hit by golf balls driven by tiger woods and how he went over to them apologized and signed a glove for them. who knew that going to wilco shows could be hazardous?
