Holy shit, Dunja...Not sure how I missed this for so long. What a traumatic thing! I can't imagine what was going through your mind when you heard about the accident, but I'm so glad to hear that Tara is going to be OK! Thank God. Please pass along my best wishes for a speedy speedy recovery!

The printed setlist had The Lonely 1 preceding Spiders in the second encore, which would have been pretty awesome had it been done. A solid show, nonetheless, considering the seated venue. I personally thought there might be a little more Mermaid stuff in Welly, but I guess they're sticking to mostly post YHF material, considering these are the first full-length shows they've done in NZ. And the banter about the post-Easter tradition of wearing your metal T-shirts was hilarious, considering you couldn't walk around town for five minutes yesterday without seeing either an Ozzy or KISS shirt.

For Wilco's first "real" (i.e. non-festival) show in New Zealand, the setlist was as follows: Sunken Treasure You Are My Face Muzzle of Bees Handshake Drugs War on War Side With The Seeds A Shot in the Arm Radio Cure Shake It Off Pot Kettle Black Impossible Germany Via Chicago California Stars Forget the Flowers Jesus, etc. Walken I'm The Man Who Loves You ------------------------------- Hummingbird On and On and On Spiders (Kidsmoke) ------------------------------- Hate It Here Kingpin The Late Greats Actually, I saw on a printed setlist that after The Late Greats, the show was supposed t

A belated happy happy birthday, Judy. Yay minor holiday birthdays! Miss you! (See you soon, though!)

Easy! Easy! Easy! I was kind of hoping Noble would jump off Dave's desk or something, but it was good to see them nevertheless.

oh, kara...i thought i saw you as well, but it was freezing and i didn't make it over to see for sure. don't be strangely shy next time! sorry to hear you had trouble with security. to be honest, i still think val air is a pretty cool place for a show

so glad you had a good time, evonne! i take it the parish was just a slightly better venue than the verizon? haha. coachella! (p.s. if you hear about anyone trying to unload a decent ticket for radio city, let me know... )

It might have been on the printed setlist, but it wasn't played.

Not sure how I feel about that characterization, but...

Complete setlist for the Val Air show: Ashes of American Flags Remember The Mountain Bed You Are My Face Muzzle of Bees Handshake Drugs Cars Can't Escape Pot Kettle Black A Shot in the Arm Side With The Seeds She's a Jar Impossible Germany California Stars (dedicated to John Doe and band) Summer Teeth A Magazine Called Sunset Via Chicago Jesus, etc. Walken I'm The Man Who Loves You -------------------------------- Hate It Here Kingpin Passenger Side Heavy Metal Drummer Red-Eyed and Blue> I Got You (At The End of the Century) Monday> Outtasite (Outta Mind) ------------------------------

Before I collapse, a brief report... Cain's Ballroom is the coolest! Tonight was a very fun, loose show. Jeff took voice steroids! Ashes of American Flags was soundchecked and was on the setlist, but not played. The Lonely 1 was also slated to be the closer, but they rocked it out instead. Here was the setlist: You Are My Face Muzzle of Bees One By One California Stars Impossible Germany Handshake Drugs I'm Always In Love A Shot in the Arm Side With The Seeds She's a Jar Jesus, etc. Pick Up The Change Airline to Heaven Forget the Flowers At My Window Sad and Lonely Hotel Arizona War o

Dave, I so so wish I could be there but I'm sure it will be a great night! I'll make it one of these days...

I think someone posted a setlist in the webcast thread in Just A Fan, but here it is for good measure (and I was fortunate to be at the show, so I was able to see when the Total Pros were playing, which might not always have come through over the Internet): (Was I) In Your Dreams (w/Total Pros horns) Pieholden Suite w/TPs; Nels on banjo and tambourine) You Are My Face Company In My Back Impossible Germany Handshake Drugs A Shot in the Arm Pot Kettle Black Side With The Seeds Pick Up The Change Hesitating Beauty Jesus, etc. Heavy Metal Drummer Nothing'severgonnastandinmyway(again) A Magazine

John Doe. You should get there early and check him and his band out! (You might even get a little bonus Nels Cline for your trouble. )

I'd say around 11, if last night was any indication.

Awesome, dude! I take it you found a ticket...?

Reporting for duty... They do it late down here in the Big Easy. Show didn't end until past 1 a.m. Much beer was consumed, and Jeff commented on the apparently large quantity of weed being smoked. Tip's, of course, is tiny and great. The Total Pros actually had to play from the balcony because the stage was too small to fit everyone. They set up in the balcony, stage left, which made for kind of a weird arrangement. Watching John's family and friends in the balcony during "It's Just That Simple" was very cute. DVD filming was in full effect. Celebrity sighting: John C. Reilly. Setli

They played it last Tuesday in Washington, D.C.

Oh, I thought it was 'You're dreamy..." but either way, it was hilarious. I haven't heard any leaks of the record or anything, but Zooey's voice is quite charming and surprisingly powerful live. In terms of the original stuff, it sounded pretty good but I'd need a few more listens to evaluate the songwriting. It did seem like the whole "She and Him" project was very much a showcase for her, though, with Matt there in more of a supporting/confidence boosting role. They played about 40-45 minutes in all, including a brief two-song encore. P.S. Great to see you, Maud!

He just used it for "Someday Soon," actually.

Better late than never...

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?

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."

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.
