Wow, the royal treatment indeed! You should test it out next time with a sign that says "Glenn is a big ol' baby!" or something like that. I wish I would have had such a security "escort" when I tried to bring in my empty poster tube to the venue in St. Louis. Thanks for nothing, Live Nation! (Special to Vince: I thought I actually had done something to warrant a visit from PK at that St. Louis show when she suddenly turned up next to my seat during the last song of the S-K set. Turns out she was just escorting some real VIPs to their seats. Haha! And I was actually sitting in one of their sea

Since I guess no one who actually went to the show seems to be in a hurry to chime in — or maybe everyone just goes to that other forum that shall not be named now — I guess I'm the designated cutter/paster here, too... From what I heard and saw on Wilco's social media, it seemed that it had been raining leading up to the show but the rain stopped and the skies cleared just in time for this show to proceed comfortably. There was even a rainbow. I can't imagine Jeff wouldn't offer any comments on that, if indeed it was still visible while he was on stage (though I guess that was pro

I obviously wasn't at the show. Would be interested to hear details, though. Is this venue the same as the Chastain Park venue the band has played in the past? I've actually never made it there myself, but I remember there being a lot of audience shenanigans one time when they played at Chastain Park. Spill the tea, attendees! It occurred to me this morning that, I think outside of Outtasite at Red Rocks, there haven't been any Being There songs played this whole tour. Not a great one for the old-school heads (unless you're a huuuuuuuuge fan of Box or something ). Anywa

I’m nitpicking, of course. Heck, I’d even settle for a drastic order shakeup at this point. Not saying I’m issuing a challenge to Jeff, but at this point if they opened with, say, I’m The Man Who Loves You, I would probably lose my shit. (Just don’t do it before I return for the rest of the tour next week in Richmond! )

Ok, thanks for the info from that other place which shall not be named. But you really think there have been five unique setlists? I don’t think swapping around the order a bit really counts, although obviously with time constraints and stuff, things get often chopped up from what Jeff’s original plan is anyway. Honestly, I think Box is only played every show because it gives Pat a moment in the spotlight. And that they really could do without Jesus/Man or even God forbid, Impossible — gasp! — every once in a while. I understand it’s appealing to the largest portion of the fanbase,

Would it be sacrilege to say I thought the opening sets by Nnamdi (although just 20 minutes long) and Sleater-Kinney were both excellent and the headlining set by Wilco was just pretty good? OK, I won't go there and maybe it was just the contact high hitting me harder than usual, but I can't deny that the thought didn't occur to me at least once over the course of the 90 minutes Jeff and his bandmates were on stage before they were forced to end their set somewhat abruptly because of an apparent 11 p.m. curfew. "We're running out of time," Jeff announced to the crowd at the 4,500-c

No worries. I’m sadly not new here.

Might want to try posting in the ticket forum (How To Fight Loneliness), as opposed to the show review/discussion section.

Since no one but Herr Tatlock and maybe a certain Brazilian ex-pat on here probably cares about this thread any longer, I’ll just continue responding to my own posts. Basically just a few notes from the S-K set that I meant to throw into my initial post last night after the “show” and forgot: —From the start of S-K’s, we knew it was probably gonna be a tumultuous evening. Carrie came out and told us that “there’s been a lot of changes” and that she and her bandmates only had 30 minutes to play so that there would be enough time for Wilco to also do a set. S-K has been

All I could think of was the Hampton Grease Band’s Music To Eat album, which was said to be the second-lowest selling album ever in Columbia Records history (but I think gets a slightly more favorable reception now).

And Then You Cut It In Half...or just cut the whole thing.

Well, that was a first b/w I don't ever have to attend any more Wilco shows in person because I can just watch live streams... Anyway, I don't know where this falls in the pantheon of shows I've attended (or didn't attend, as it were), but I can't remember another instance when Wilco was due to take the stage after the support bands had played and the band was never able to actually take said stage. I know there have been some shows cut short due to weather — a Winnipeg Folk Festival appearance is coming to mind, as well as a show in Lowell, Mass., and I'm sure probably a few other

Ugh. See this wouldn’t be a problem if they hadn’t moved the show outdoors! Um…uh…oh yeah… #pandemic

I think just out of an abundance of caution for band, crew and audience.

You going to any of the shows out West? It’ll be interesting to see what happens. It doesn’t seem like they could find a suitable alternate outdoor venue in some of the smaller Pac NW cities like Eugene, Bellingham and Olympia. I would totally understand, but it would still suck if those shows had to be scrapped. Ugh.

Setlist(s) taken from watching the live stream. I know there were likely a bunch of people who at least occasionally frequent these parts who were there in person, so hopefully a few of them will eventually chime in. For record-keeping purposes, here were the complete setlists for Wilco and Sleater-Kinney, as played: Wilco A Shot In The Arm Random Name Generator Side With The Seeds One And A Half Stars I Am Trying To Break Your Heart> Art Of Almost If I Ever Was A Child Impossible Germany Love Is Everywhere (Beware) [

Setlist taken from Wilcoworld...just so we don't miss one here. Would be interesting to hear from anyone who was there. It looks like a gorgeous spot to see a show...

Yes, go to the bank before and bring like $100 in dollar bills if you can for tipping. They don't have to be demonic, though!

Cheers! Glad a few people still get something out of them...

Haha! Thanks, man. I'll hold out for at least a little longer, just for you.

Maybe it's just a part of their road management process now (upload setlist to Web site...check!). At any rate, I can feel retirement coming on any day now...

Ditto! Sometimes I feel like half of Wilco’s fanbase are either involved in music production somehow or are musicians themselves…haha. (I am neither, so it’s always interesting to hear the technical aspect of things, even if it usually goes over my head.)

Oh, you know what? I did see another 7” at the table and totally glossed over it. Almost sure it was Half Life on one side, not sure what the other side was. It looked so similar to the bonus 7” included with the pre-orders of LITK that I sort of glossed over it in my attempt to get the split single. Oops! D’oh! They were selling the Half Life one and the split as a bundle as well, if memory serves. I’ll have to grab it at another show.

But of course! Not sure how they’re gonna handle it night to night as the tour rolls along, but it seemed like they had rationed a set number to be sold for this specific show but also imposed no limit on how many you could buy of that rationed amount. Weird. I stopped by the merch stand before the show and asked if there was a limit to how many I could buy. The lady said no, so I bought several because some friends who aren’t able to get to this tour asked me to try and grab one for them if I could. When I went back after the show to try and get one more for another friend who had

Replying to my own post, but in case anybody wanted Sleater-Kinney’s setlist (they played 75 minutes, from 8 to 9:15, with a strong emphasis on their new record Path Of Wellness), here you go: Path Of Wellness High In The Grass Hurry On Home Price Tag Down The Line What’s Mine Is Yours Can I Go On Bury Our Friends Shadow Town Worry With You Reach Out Jumpers Bring Mercy Complex Female Characters Surface Envy Modern Girl A New Wave One Beat> Entertain
