seriously though, I'm more obsessed than ever and I was pretty obsessed before. How could my love of this band just increase year after year?

 

Any answers would be helpful

 

i know right? it's so fun just falling deeper and deeper in love with wilco with every listen.

I went to those 2 denver shows and now Im all hopped up on them. I can't quit listening to those shows...

Ahhh now man...go back & give those Summer of the Cow Funk shows a listen again. You can tell me about it over on "the green board". :ninja

They're getting a little static live, yeah. I haven't seen them in two years, and I'm not trying too hard to get tix anymore whenever they come around. Also, they're positioning themselves in new and shameless ways, and as much as I hate to admit it, I'm beginning to think they've rounded the corner that most great bands turn after their first decade or so together: their classic work is behind them, and now they're simply a very entertaining band. There's nothing wrong with that, and I quite like the last two records, even if I don't think they're earth-shatteringly, ball-rattlingly spectacular, but I suppose my obsession has waned and been replaced with merely a healthy interest. Hell, I barely recognize the names of half the regulars here anymore.

How can you have not seen them in 2 years and call them static??? Anyone who was at either the Boston or Millenium Park shows can tell you they are FAR from static (at least energetically). Sure, the setlists are eerily similar - but the enthusiasm, prescence and joy these guys are brining to their music is incredible.

I love wilco as Im the starter of this thread, but yeah I agree on the part about them becoming static live. They are incredible live but pretty much play the same setlist every night. I dont understand how they dont go insane playing close to the same set night after night....

I know I've said this many many times in other threads, but man if these guys would mix it up to the point where you could go 2-3 shows with no repeats I'd probably try to catch as many shows as I possibly could rather than just once or twice each tour.

 

I'll bet a majority of folks would feel the same. It would seem to be a great revenue-generating idea as well (imo).
