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

Overheard on the way into the first show of Wilco’s much-anticipated, long-delayed It’s Time tour with co-headliners Sleater-Kinney tonight in Spokane: “I’m anxious to see whether Wilco can still rock.” Well, 512 days — just shy of 17 months — since the last time they took the stage together as a band, in Winnipeg, it took all of five songs to confirm that Wilco can indeed still rock. That’s when the band launched into one of the surprises of their first set back — the return of fan-favorite Art Of Almost to the setlist after a lengthy hiatus. And, man, did it sound great to these

Submitted for your consideration: It’s a bird…it’s a plane…it’s The Recapper! and If I was a bird and you was a fish, what would we do? I guess we’d wish for…Recap Nation! Recap Nation! Wouldn’t it be a sensation? and Clap on … clap off…The Recapper!

Can we all get a shoutout for #TheRecapper ? C’mon, people!

Of interest to no one but us two, the “Say It Plain” song seems to have been listed on the printed setlist as “Universe,” so I guess you were right!

Thanks, guys. I know my readership has dwindled to probably tens of people but they’re quality people!

Yeah, exactly! People who don’t keep track at the show as well can’t be (entirely) trusted! I guess this isn’t a problem for most acts that stick exclusively to their setlists, but we know that’s not true with Jeff/Wilco.

Tim, ditto! Thanks for saying hi. Good to see you.
