You had it almost right. Just flipped Laminated Cat and Shouldn't Be Ashamed. So the complete setlist, as played, was: One Sunday Morning> Poor Places> Art Of Almost I Might Bull Black Nova Company In My Back IATTBYH Kamera Impossible Germany Born Alone Laminated Cat (electric arrangement) Shouldn't Be Ashamed Whole Love Heavy Metal Drummer> I'm The Man Who Loves You Standing O Misunderstood ("reflecting off of your mp3...") Dawned On Me A Shot in the Arm ----------------------------- Candyfloss War On War Walken Red-Eyed and Blue> I Got You At The End of the Century> Outtas

Posting at 11:07 would have been like two minutes after the show ended! The band played until about 11:05. Seems like the reviewer had a decent chunk of the review written already and didn't stay for the encore, but that's still a pretty solid recap on deadline.

A good showing by the Vancouver (Van City? The 'Couve? ) crowd on Super Bowl Sunday, which led to a lighthearted but pretty spirited show. It was one of the more energetic theatre crowds I can remember in a while, with people on their feet from the start and even crowding the aisles down front despite the best efforts of the security guards and venue staff. As usual of late, Jeff didn't say anything through the first third of the show and even when he finally broke the silence after Impossible Germany, he offered only the standard "we've got a lot of business to attend to" line and "not muc

Yeah, the ACL taping actually happened on 11/30/11. I posted the whole setlist in After The Show. That 12/1/11 setlist is from the actual show at ACL Live the following night. That was a full-length proper show.

Reluctant as I am to post again in this thread because it's going to take that much longer to bump it off the front page again, I appreciate the appreciation! And amsterdam, I'm definitely looking forward to seeing you and MT on your home turf again... Now stop bumping this thread!

Just to add on a couple show notes to what I wrote last night... About halfway through the show, a 10-year-old boy named Cale (sp?) attending his first concert appeared at the foot of the stage for a few songs (accompanied by a woman—I assume his mother or possibly an aunt—who danced pretty vigorously with him). Jeff had some fun interacting with the kid until he got "busted by The Man" (a/k/a the surprisingly persistent security guards keeping people out of the aisles). After Handshake Drugs, for instance, Jeff joked that he was "going to check in periodically with Cale...he's the only one

A very nice-sounding venue plus a solid crowd, many of whom eschewed their comfy seats and stood from start to finish, combined with a professional effort by the band, translated into an enjoyable evening in Eugene. As is the case with many venues of that ilk, it seemed like there was a pretty tight 11 p.m. curfew, which resulted in Via Chicago and Jesus, etc., being setlist casualties. Those two songs were listed as the first two of the encore on the printed setlist. The band came on a minute after 9 and played until exactly 11. Here was the complete setlist, as played: One Sunday Morni

Yeah, makes sense. Thanks for the info...

I got the chance to see Mr. Cornelius in person last year in Chicago at the Siskel Film Center when they screened a Soul Train documentary that I guess had also aired on VH1 as part of the 40th anniversary Soul Train celebrations. Anyway, he looked somewhat frail physically but his mind still seemed pretty sharp. Sad to hear the circumstances of his passing. Tried to get him to sign an old Soul Train comp LP I had, but his entourage was having none of it. Oh well. RIP to a man who had such a big impact on the lives of so many. Soul Train line forever!

This show was full of twists and turns—literally —from a fairly sedate beginning to some amusing moments midway through (Ramon, who Jeff dubbed the record holder for most pens in his shirt pocket at a concert, will surely go down in the Wilco annals) to a little rock at the end, when the crowd finally got on its feet. The venue was an upscale performing arts center, a bit sterile IMHO, with reserved seating and two balconies. I only saw one omission from the printed setlist, which had Via Chicago or Sunken Treasure listed as the first song of the encore. The band played just shy of 2 hours,

I guess I should qualify my "loose and goofy" assessment. Obviously it depends on your perspective, but I certainly wasn't saying it was a bad performance in any way. The mood on stage just seemed a bit silly at points, like when Nels had some sort of inopportune pedal problem at the end of Via that basically wrecked his solo and could only kind of sheepishly shrug at Jeff. Or when Jeff went over to Pat during Nels' Impossible Germany solo and whispered something amusing. Or when Jeff flubbed the "Have to keep my mind out of this" line in "Hate It Here." Or for that matter, Jeff's whole s

For gogo (and anyone else interested)... I tallied up the different songs played at the three Bay Area shows and I come up with 56 over the course of the three nights. So just one shy of the LA trifecta. Interestingly, it would have been exactly the same if they had played You Never Know in San Jose. It was on the printed setlist for that night, but got cut due (presumably) to time issues... And seven songs were played all three nights in the Bay Area, by my count: Art Of Almost I Might Born Alone Dawned On Me Whole Love Impossible Germany A Shot in the Arm

A loose, goofy show on Night Three in the Bay Area... Here was the complete setlist, as played: Poor Places> Art Of Almost I Might Muzzle Of Bees Via Chicago Spiders (Kidsmoke) (acoustic arrangement)> One Wing How To Fight Loneliness Born Alone California Stars Impossible Germany Whole Love Pot Kettle Black Hate It Here Theologians Can't Stand It Heavy Metal Drummer Dawned On Me Hummingbird --------------------------- A Shot in the Arm Wilco (the song) (w/"robot voice" band intros) Passenger Side Kingpin ("livin' in...Oakland") Monday> Outtasite (Outta Mind) Casino Queen (partial)

I did miss Burlington in '04, much to my chagrin! Had a ticket, but couldn't get away... Say hello next time!

Well, I was there and I'm confident the setlist I posted above is correct.

Mountains and Nanaimo bars? Can't wait to see you...

I try! But thanks for the kind words. Glad at least a few people get some use out of the info...

Mistake? I know not of what you speak... Seriously, though, it's a little surprising to me how many people I've encountered on this tour who seem to be unfamiliar with Laminated Cat/Not For The Season. I know it's not on a Wilco record, but Jeff's been playing it solo for years and it's one of the few "non Wilco" (and non cover) songs that the band seems to include in their sets in recent years. Just seems to me like anyone who's a reasonably big Wilco fan would have come across it at some point... The biggest dilemma personally is what to call it when typing in setlists because I always

A moody, fun set tonight. Thought they might come back out for a second encore, so it'd be interesting to see what was on the printed setlist, but it's always emotional with a Lonely 1 ending... Here was the complete setlist, as played: Sunken Treasure (electric arrangement, no harmonica) Art Of Almost I Might Ashes Of American Flags> Bull Black Nova At Least That's What You Said One Sunday Morning Shouldn't Be Ashamed Either Way Born Alone Laminated Cat (electric arrangement) Impossible Germany One By One Forget The Flowers Handshake Drugs Standing O Misunderstood I Must Be High The La

As the band made its return to the Bay Area, it was one of those nights when it wasn't necessarily what they played but how they played it. The mood, both on stage and in the crowd, seemed very good all night, and the band played well IMHO. Jeff admitted he was pleasantly surprised by how into it the crowd was, which he apparently wasn't expecting based on the number of wine-related Wilco tweets he saw before the show. Haha! Anyway, it seemed like the Civic Auditorium had a pretty tight 11 p.m. curfew. That resulted in a considerable shortening of the planned encore on the printed setlist (w

I just counted them up and I get 57 different songs played over the three nights. By my count, six songs were played all three nights: Art Of Almost, I Might, Born Alone, Dawned On Me, Whole Love and Impossible Germany.

A good, solid ending to this week's Los Angeles run with some amusing banter and, once again, some pretty nice variety in the setlist... From what I understand, this was the first concert in the LA Theatre in a long time following a renovation. If so, kudos to those responsible for that. It's a beautiful room (the bathrooms were something to behold as well, with old-school touches like marble urinals and a shoeshine area in the men's and, I'm told, a mirrored parlor and very spacious stalls in the ladies') and sounded quite nice. Not sure it's the best venue for a rock concert, but it defin

You know, ultimately, I guess everybody's got to decide for themselves on a case-by-case basis if they want to play the game or how "worth it" the early entry thing is. Maybe that depends on what kind of venue it is or if you can't wait in line or any number of other factors, but the whole thing is just unseemly IMHO. And thanks for the clarification on the "bird flipping" incident.

Sorry that this early-entry thing sort of hijacked this thread a bit, and for whatever part I played in that... To get back on the topic of the show itself, does anyone know exactly what happened after Misunderstood when Jeff came to the front of the stage and spoke directly to someone who I guess had been flipping him/the band off (presumably during the "Nothings" portion of the song)? Jeff said something about it on mike, bantering about how that was a weird way to demonstrate to a performer that one was having a good time or something like that. But I was wondering if anyone in that gen

We were saying the same thing yesterday. I'm sure the band ultimately has very little, if any, sway. And yeah, unfortunately, these "skip-the-line" or "fast-pass"—or whatever else they're called—programs do seem to be becoming more prevalent, especially at Live Nation-owned venues. (I think House Of Blues has done it for a long time now where if you have dinner in their restaurant or buy something from their gift shop, you get in first as well.) I do sometimes wonder how it's decided whether or not to do it at a given venue, though. Like is it a venue decision that's evaluated on a show-by-s
