Well, it's later so I suppose I'll chime in with at least a few comments about last night's very enjoyable outdoor show. I believe (correct me if I'm wrong) it was the third time Wilco has played on the street in front of the Blue Note club and I've always found it to be, for the most part, one of the most easygoing and pleasant crowds at any outdoor gig I've seen. At least toward the front, most folks seemed happy and excited to be able to see Wilco in the relatively intimate confines of 9th Street. Setlist-wise, we got both Missouri staples — New Madrid and Casino Queen — so that was fun

More details later, but for now here was the complete setlist as played: Misunderstood Art Of Almost I Might Bull Black Nova At Least That's What You Said Spiders (Kidsmoke) (acoustic arrangement) Impossible Germany Born Alone> Laminated Cat (aka Not For The Season) (electric arrangement) One Wing New Madrid Handshake Drugs Hummingbird Whole Love Box Full Of Letters I'm Always In Love Heavy Metal Drummer> I'm The Man Who Loves You Dawned On Me A Shot in the Arm ------------------------------- Via Chicago Passenger Side Christ For President Candyfloss Casino Queen> Outtasite (Outta M

I'm pretty sure Mike's first real show as a band member was 7/19/02 at the Murat Egyptian Room in Indianapolis. I think he told me so himself once. That fits in with your general timetable.

Looks like the band (as well as The Shins and Michael Franti & Spearhead) is slated to play in Vail, Colo., sometime the week of Dec. 10-16 as part of the Vail Snow Daze.

That's what she said?

Wow, he lived a LONG time...:-/ What would that be? Like, a millennium?

If I'm not mistaken, this was the lone non-festival date on this little Euro run. A 23-song set at a fest wouldn't just not be shabby, but would be longer than most outright shows the band played prior to the last four or five years.

Thanks for the report (and excellent setlist "style," might I add)! This was the one show on this little European run that I was sad to have to miss. Glad to hear it was a fun one. I totally get why they play so many festivals, of course (and I would imagine they'd have to pay them very well to get them to do three festivals in three different countries in three days ... basically twice, no less) but it's of course almost always best to see the band in a smallish indoor venue. Hopefully we'll hear a little bit from samuel70, who I believe was also in attendance... Sunken Treasure + Hands

Caught the end of Wilco's set. Man, Dawned, Shot (good night! just kidding.) and Hummingbird were the last four songs. I was amused by the brief interview snippets of festgoers they were airing between performances. Looks like they were asking people who they were excited to see at the fest and I was amused by how many responses included Florence and the Machine. Also, the bit with one of the members of, I think, Oberhofer was funny; in short, he was clearly mistaken for one of the fest attendees but he was like, "No, we played!"

This is surely of interest to no one, but I just had a chance to watch the Fallon performance of Laminated Cat and just thought it was funny that Jeff had a slight lyric flub (he never actually sang "...it's not for the season" but actually sang "...they're not worth reading" twice.) He probably didn't even realize it...or if he did, never let on the way he sometimes does live when he realizes he's transposed a lyric.

Not that this matters in terms of the music, but wasn't she dating Andy Samberg a while back? Or maybe she still is? I don't really follow the celeb news too closely.

I'll let someone else elaborate more on all of the great (and, er, not so great) banter toward the end of the show following what shall go down in Wilco lore as "The Great Moth Incident." But suffice it to say that the band seems ready for a little break before their next jaunt, delivering a loose, fun performance to cap off this leg. Also of note, Jeff sat in with Lee Ranaldo's band for a cool rendition of Neil Young's "Walk On" to close out their opening set. A nice way to finish their two weeks or so of opening for Wilco. Glenn also sat in with Lee's band on a song for the second night

I couldn't make this one, unfortunately, so I won't be much help on the details. But it looks like a pretty stellar gig! And thanks for following the "correct" titling convention when you started the thread...

Nope.

No problem. Edited the earlier post slightly to include Sarah Lee and Johnny's participation on the last two songs, which somehow got cut off when I hit send before...

Also wanted to post this, but wasn't sure where to put it so I'll just put it here... Kudos to Mr. Sansone (and Mr. Stirratt, to just a slightly lesser extent since he didn't sit in with the Ranaldo band) for being the proverbial hardest-working men in show biz last night. After Wilco finished their show at 11:26 p.m., those two promptly jetted over to the nearby Arch Street Tavern (joined by the stalwart Autumn Defense rhythm section of G. Wiz and Haggs) and were sitting in with the Sarah Lee Guthrie and Johnny Irion band by midnight. Then the Autumn D quartet snuck in a brief but fun m

Indeed.

Glad you posted about Lee. As I've mentioned before, I've been enjoying his sets a lot. Having Nels and Pat sit in helps, of course, but I'm really digging these songs the more I hear them. Obviously he was always a bit of a third wheel in the Sonic Youth universe — though I'm sure some of their hardcore fans would probably beg to differ — but I always liked the few songs he got to sing in a given show. As for these opening sets with Wilco, most of the songs have been the same from night to night but that's only natural when you only have one album to draw from and you have guests sitting in

Someone who got a printed setlist can confirm, but I think Black Moon was the only scratch off the planned list. Not sure if something else got substituted in its place, but anyway. It was sort of weird to see the Hunter Center without either the bleacher/stadium seating or full of rows of chairs (like when it was used for the comedy sets during Solid Sound). It seemed a lot smaller than I thought, sort of like a college's multi-purpose room if that helps anybody get a better sense. But it sure was LOUD in there, at least where I was standing; I think Jeff even said something to that effect

I'm sure plenty of folks will chime in soon enough, but for now, here was the complete setlist as played for the MASS MoCA benefit show: One Sunday Morning> Poor Places> Art Of Almost I Might She's A Jar I Am Trying To Break Your Heart Born Alone Muzzle Of Bees Spiders (Kidsmoke) (acoustic arrangement) Impossible Germany Capitol City Handshake Drugs> Wishful Thinking What's The World Got In Store Whole Love A Magazine Called Sunset War On War Dawned On Me A Shot in the Arm --------------------------- Via Chicago California Stars Box Full Of Letters I'm Always In Love Jesus, etc. (cr

Figured I'd also post the setlist for the Lee Ranaldo Band's opening set. This Brewery Ommegang show marked the first time Pat sat in with them on this run — Nels also continued to sit in — leading Lee to half-jokingly dub it the Lee Ranaldo Big Band. Anyway, they played this 45-minute set: Off The Wall Angles Waiting On A Dream (w/Pat Sansone on organ) Tomorrow Never Comes (w/Nels Cline on electric guitar and Pat Sansone on tambourine and organ) Xtina As I Knew Her (w/Nels Cline on electric guitar and Pat Sansone on organ) Hammer Blows (w/Nels Cline on electric guitar and Pat Sansone on o

Negative.

Now that we're back, I can finally post this setlist that wasn't completely accurate on the Wilco Facebook page... This was a pretty stellar show in my book, perhaps owing to the great sound where my compatriots and I were standing. Often when you're off to a side, either in front of Nels or Pat, you get too much of their guitar amp at the expense of the overall mix but I have to say that it sounded great in front of Nels. He was loud and clear, yet not too overpowering. Sound was excellent, I thought, for the Lee Ranaldo Band's opening set as well. As for Wilco's set, Jeff's sister was i

Some rain early on in Wilco's set didn't seem to deter a beer-fueled crowd ready to have a good time. And a good time was had by most, it seemed...
