bböp Posted July 11, 2006 Author Share Posted July 11, 2006 First of all, for setlist purposes (and no one else probably cares about this besides Rob), the newest song that I had been calling "There's a Light" should probably be switched to "What Light," which is how the band has it written on its setlists. I guess I had been slightly mishearing the chorus, which goes, "There's a light, what light/There's a light, what light/Inside of you." I thought it had been "one light." The coolest thing about What Light tonight was the way Jeff kept singing the chorus as he backed away from the microphone, and that ended up being how the song faded out. It sounded pretty awesome. What else of note from tonight? Well, somewhat to my chagrin, the Canadian "Wilco is cock" flag from the other night traveled with the band from London to Montreal and was draped over Mike's keyboard stand the whole night. Fortunately no additional comments were made about it. More notable was that, just to show that some of the new songs are still definite works in progress, a slightly different rendition of Impossible Germany emerged. Apparently in soundcheck, the band decided to flip Nels' solo and the subsequent jam with the second verse, so that now the solo and jam comes in the middle of the song and then Jeff closes it out with the second verse. Who knows if that's how it will end up? Oh, and they did the fade-out ending to Spiders for the first time since the beginning of the tour. I liked the fakeout ending, but I think there's also something to the fade out. Seems like Jeff's getting tired of explaining the whole Kingpin screaming routine, so for the second show in a row, he had someone from the audience come up on stage and explain to the rest of the crowd exactly what to do. I sense this will become pretty routine. Jeff has been very good with singing the right words, but he flubbed a couple of lyrics tonight. Including accidentally switching the lines in Monday -- singing "He's waiting for a postcard" the first time through and "with the left arm tan." Haha. All in all, a pretty fun show -- maybe the last real club show for a while? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just to torment you Paul! It should have been written in French as well. (BTW, did you have any Poulet Frit Kentucky?) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

(BTW, did you have any Poulet Frit Kentucky?)"The link between France and cockerels stems back to Roman times when France was known as Gaul - which is similar to gallus, the Latin word for cockerel.This play on words meant that over time France came to be represented by a cockerel.In the Middle Ages French coins were engraved with cockerels and the symbol was adopted by the leaders of the French Revolution in 1789.Napoleon introduced the symbol of an eagle but the masses missed their cock and it was duly reintroduced in the 19th century.During World War I the cockerel became a symbol of French courage and readiness to fight to the death." The French fans visiting Cardiff for the rugby always used to let a cockerel onto the pitch. It doesn't happen much these days with the security and whatnot. I couldn't find a picture at a rugby match, but here's one of Michel Platini at a football match from the 80s. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I guess I had been slightly mishearing the chorus, which goes, "There's a light, what light/There's a light, what light/Inside of you." I thought it had been "one light." I actually care about it. I am an admitted setlist geek. Thanks for all the prompt setlists and descriptions. I check every morning after a show for the setlist and I appreciate all your posts. As for the aformentioned "What Light" ...... the first available recording of this song is up at the VC tracker from the London, Ontario show: http://bt.viachicago.org/details.php?id=538 I would agree it's one of the most straight pop songs I've heard from Wilco. I'm diggin' it. I could possibly hear John Hiatt doing this one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wilco, c'est coq!I had a 'coq sportif' track suit years ago, at an age when it provoked sniggers. I think they still kit out the French team. Certainly the most famous French sports brand.

Who knows if that's how it will end up? Any thoughts on this version vs. the previous version? Without actually hearing this version, it sounds like a positive change to me. It just seems kind of flat for most of the song waiting for that solo/jam. Just curious for those of you who have heard both. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
