michaelcorcoran Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 cars can't escape was very different frm the version on yhf demos. It was more upbeat, and could fit in with maybe something from the dead's arista years. Maybe a bad comparison, but it was different. Nailed it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

~A~ Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Even though we didn't have tickets...we could hear perfectly right outside the venue - it was the best show I never saw and my favorite Wilco show ever! Fave Jeff quote of the night - after he prefaced the encore saying this next batch of songs is going to be early wilco, from about 95-96; he added "This is not late model Wilco!" HAHAHA!!!

bassmcmaster Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Jeff and his son seemed to be fine. That was my first wilco show...holy fuck, managed to sneak down to first row, right where his kids were. Jeff seemed very talkative and loose. What an amazing set, I hope like hell a tape shows up.

Scalzunfield Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 I'm still in shock from the awesomeness of the encores. So glad they didn't play the usual stuff (although I still REALLY could have done without Spiders). Sad my request for Let's Not Get Carried Away went ignored, but it's all good.

Did anyone else hear them beginning the Steely Dan cover Any Major Dude just before Cars? I thought for sure thats what they were playing before it kicked in. I guess the tape will tell the tale!

yhfagib Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Definitely a great show, the 2nd encore was amazing I liked how this was the 4th time I've seen Wilco, and they still played 9 songs I'd never heard live before. But my request for Pieholden Suite was unanswered Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gobias Industries Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Whew! I requested Dreamer In My Dreams, and said if they played it I owe them a 12-pack of Diet Coke, but it seems like that is void now. Excellent. That is the best setlist I have ever seen, by the way. This is the Wilco I want to see. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zebra Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 I hope all those video cameras moving around were for some future DVD or something because that was one hell of a show! When you first walked in, you were given good sized magnets with the event poster on them in case you couldn't afford the $25 poster (like me). My seats were pretty close and the first two songs seemed to fly by because I was in awe of Wilco. Dr. Dog did alright, but I couldn't wait for Wilco to come on and aparently the security guard didn't like Dr. Dog because he fell asleep during their songs. This wasn't a good thing because is was guarding the ramp to the stage (left). Of course, I could mention how great they sounded and how cool the lighting was, but it's the little things that I love. In IATTBYH, Pat was playing keyboard and some percussion instruments. I loved how he mimicked the sound of the album by throwing the percussion stuff in the air over his shoulders and letting them crash to the floor. This made for a great visual and audible affect. During one of the songs, there was a spotlight right under Nels and it cast a giant 'Nels monster' shadow on the wooden wall and it was quite tall. It was cool to see his shadow monster jam. At the end of "Hummingbird", Jeff did his little dance and then ran laps around all the guys and crew. He just ran and ran. At the beginning of a song, Glenn stood up right as a bunch of white lights hit him. He raised his arms as if to proclaim, "I am the best drummer, ever". It was really cool looking. John kept jumping off the ground and I caught Mikeal raising his hands as one point. I thought he was confused or something wasn't working, but I think he was giving props to Jeff jamming on the guitar. I guess every song they played was a request from the website and the older songs they played were the most requested, hence, why they got played. I think the best Jeff quote of the night was something like this, "How's everybody in the lawn doing? I really wish you could see how awesome we look tonight. Were even wearing costumes!" Towards the begining, Jeff mentioned something about having fun or letting loose or something. He asked, "Why not have fun?" Some smart guy said, "The skyline", so Jeff replies, "The skyline's not going to hurt you." I had a good laugh at that. The skyline did look amazing as a backdrop for a Wilco concert. It was also nice to see people sitting for the first 15 seconds of their set and after that everyone was up. There were some posers there just to been seen on their iPhones, who barely looked up or even clap, but most people had a great time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dr. Steve Brule Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 I'm happy I haven't been playing attention to setlists, because Too Far Apart was a great surprise. The sound, weather, and scenery couldn't have been better. I enjoyed it way more than any of the Auditorium shows of late. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
