remphish1 Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Yes! But it will be even cooler if they pick a song they haven't played in ages...really one from left field ala I Thought I Held You, Shouldn't Be Ashamed! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zebra Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 I wonder if they will practice any of the songs for the Chicago show in Madison? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

zebra Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 I'm on a Mac too, use Firefox and just keep trying. It took me a while to get through. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
isadorah Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 I'm on a Mac too, use Firefox and just keep trying. It took me a while to get through. agreed, i fought safari and then switched to Firefox and it went through on the first try. should we start a thread titled "why does the wilco hate safari..." actually i find safari bugs out on a lot of websites with forms.

Mr. Kinsley Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Sounds great, but I'm not sure I could listen to a whole concert of nothing but 'Freebird'. It really would've been funny had that been an option. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gogo Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 At the Frames show last night, we noticed a lot of older people there (we suspect that they were fans of the movie, and were curious about the full band). At one point, the 60+(ish) man standing in front of us turned to his companions, a man and woman about the same age, and said, seemingly without irony, "Ha ha, did you hear that? Someone just yelled 'Freebird!' That's hilarious!" This was obviously someone who had not attended a concert at any point in the last 25 years or so. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bubs101 Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 ^^^^The alsheimers was probably kicking in.I went for why in the world would you wanna live. Think the banjo solo would kick arse live Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gobias Industries Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 ^^^^The alsheimers was probably kicking in.I went for why in the world would you wanna live. Think the banjo solo would kick arse live They don't have a banjo solo when they do it live... 2007.06.26 Warsaw, Brooklyn evidences it...Jeff sings an octave up and Nels and Jeff solo in the middle. I have to say I wish Nels would mimic what Jeff does in that middle part, I love Jeff's solo dealio with the double-stops and stuff, but when Nels goes crazy I can't hear any of it... 2001.11.28 Moore Theater has a fantastic version of Why Would You Wanna Live?

bsr8j Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 I think the smaller the group of people making the requests, the more likely you are to get rarities (check out the setlists from some of the Living Room Shows). But when you open it up to the whole world, people who don't see Wilco on a regular basis, or who haven't ever seen them live, are more likely than the "hardcore" fans to think along the lines of "I'd really love to hear Shot in the Arm". So if they just take the songs with the highest total number of votes, you might end up with a pretty bland setlist. A local band in DC (emmet swimming) did this a year or so ago and people apparently voted for songs that they almost always play live anyway. It was a cool idea, but it definitely wasn't a show full of rarities. (It was still a good show, just not the show I was expecting.) It's still awesome that Wilco's doing it. I hope they do pull out some rarely played songs, and that there's a good bootleg of the show. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jcamp Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 i requested hoodoo voodoo. great encore song : an upbeat surprise treat. they've played it 3 times this tour around early july... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jimtweedy1977 Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 I doubt it would happen, but it would be cool if the film crew for Sunken Treasure was filming this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
