unposed_question Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 I suppose we'll know as soon as someone who went to the show can post, but what do people think they will play? Wish they would play: Impossible Germany Think they will play: What Light Wildcard: Hate it Here Update: I'm not so sure about What Light anymore. If they want to blow the roof off the dump, they will probablychoose something more like Shake it Off or Walken. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Drazil Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Hope they play - Side with the Seeds Probably will play - What Light Wild Card - Shake It Off Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chris_H_2 Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 I don't think that there's any question that they will play What Light. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
uncle wilco Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 "what light" is in the music choice rotation on my digital cable. of course i've heard nothing on the radio, so i would have to guess "what light" would be the song on letterman. i'd love to hear "hate it here" on letterman though.

isadorah Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 my guess is "Sky Blue Sky" and then a second song later that will be a non-Sky Blue Sky selection, like "Muzzle of Bees". Really i think they're gonna play "what light" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sky blue bats Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 probably will play "What Light" hope they play "Side With The Seeds" wildcard "You Are My Face" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
watchtower41 Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 maybe its just becuase I'm really hoping for it, but I'd like to think Impossible Germany has a pretty decnet chance. At least it one of their more road tested songs, Walken would be too long. Why is it being taken for granted that What Light? would be the favorite?? Because XRT plays it as their single?

Yeah, I guess cuz it's the first single I'm assuming that, but when AGIB came out, I think they played "I'm a Wheel"on Leno and "Hummingbird" on Letterman. Don't know if either of those were officially released as singles. Anyone out there know? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paauwe Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 probably: what light. hopefully: you are my face wildcard: impossible germany. dumbest choice: what light. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
watchtower41 Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 I never really knew Wilco had any official "singles" Obviously we know they don't release them on their own, but as far as "radio hits" I think their closest effort would have been "Jesus Ect."?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sky blue bats Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 on KGSR in Austin, "What Light" is in heavy rotation. I would love to hear something that would throw every one of you off---? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rwrkb Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 another version of "Handshake Drugs" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
embiggen Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 they will play "What Light" and dedicate it to Jerry Falwell. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beltmann Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 another version of "Handshake Drugs"I would love that. Seriously. I would love that. Best guess: "What Light"Best hope: "Hate It Here" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jdmel Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 I hope they play You Are My Face and knock it out of the park... it is Jeffs favorite song Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Edie Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 I think that they heard about the LouieB|Aricandover version of Hotel Arizona, and will try to one-up them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rwrkb Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 I would love that. Seriously. I would love that. i'm a big fan of that song. but i think we all know it's gonna be "What Light" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Atticus Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 possible that they'd pick "hate it here" and have paul and the horns throw in some backup Quote Link to post Share on other sites
noyes Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 most likely playing What Light.my wildcard is You Are My Face (but that ain't gonna happen) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
unposed_question Posted May 15, 2007 Author Share Posted May 15, 2007 Now that I've had lunch, I remember that "Handshake Drugs" was the first song off of AGIB thatappeared in regular rotation on KFOG here in the Bay Area. Knowing that, I would actually be surprised if theyplay "What Light" on the show. If they want to win over the audience, I would suggest "Hate it Here" - simple,direct lyrics, compact song, rocks the house, and ends quietly, so the audience can burst in with loud applause.

Christopher Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 I'm sidin' with the seeds on this one! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
oatmealblizzard Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Hate it Here, You Are My Face, Impossible Germany, or Side With the Seeds would all be awesome. I, for some reason, feel they are going to play What Light, though. A good song, but probably my least favorite on the album at this point. Not really too exciting live either.

That could definitely work. Other Letterman stuff: http://www.cbs.com/latenight/lateshow/show_info/pants/ What's with the way the guests are listed for tonight's show? "Michael Imperioli / Wilco (The Sopranos), (CD, "Sky Blue Sky")" None of the other nights have anything listed like that. I think Michael Imperioli is going to sing with them!!!! (not really) Also: Don Rickles. I hope Ron Cey will be watching. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CommerceComet Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Also: Don Rickles. I hope Ron Cey will be watching. When Reagan was president, he campaigned in Oklahoma on behalf of Sen. Don Nickles. As he concluded his speech, he said: "That's why we need Don Rickles in the Senate." Oops. C-SPAN would be much more entertaining if Don Rickles were a Senator.
