With apologies to Nancy and Lee, these boots are made for fillin’! 👢 👢 👢

I would sign up for one of those shirts!

Haha, yeah, that's kind of what I figured. And re: Asheville, in theory I could make it now. But given the lack of setlist variety and the fact I'd still have to finagle a ticket and drive like 5 hours out of my way down there and then 8+ hours back to get to the Merriweather Post show with no day-off cushion (plus the prospect of a nice meal of some Maryland crabs), I think I'm still going to have to beg off. I did seriously consider it despite all of the hurdles, but you know. Sorry I'll miss you this run. Looks like a cool setting, from what I've seen.

Well, sorry your Nova gambits haven't paid dividends so far but I'm sure they were at least mildly amusing. Thanks for the reports. I think it seems like they are pretty much, er, boxed in with the set for this run with maybe one or two swap outs per night. Just hoping we'll actually get that (semi-promised) collab with S-K at this point...nine shows to go! Good to hear that Pat got some hometown love and that it wasn't your usual Nashville, too-cool industry-town kind of crowd — at least for the most part.

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...
