punchdrunk Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 This was my third time seeing them.....and by far the best. We were right behind the orchestra pit on Nels' side... My wife, being 6 months pregnant, was sitting more than she normally would have, but she had an excuse! Anyway, the show was amazing.....crowd was fun, setlist was right, the band was having fun, and the venue's great. It was worth not getting home until 2 am and having to work the next morning!

wickerpark Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 This was my seventh Wilco show and by far the best. I was a huge fan walking into Northrop, and now I'm not sure what I'm going to do because I didn't know I could like them even more. Northrop rocked (well, it was OKAY). It's been a long time since I remember the band outwardly having that much fun with each other and with the audience. Such a great give-and-take between performer and crowd tonight. I would be curious to see a printed setlist because it seemed like they were having quite a few discussions between songs as the night went on - every moment just got better and better. The sound in there was perfect. The banter was hilarious. I've never seen Nels bow in appreciation of his fans that many times in one night, Pat was off in la-la land (in a good way) and when Kotche stood up and hailed the balcony before rocking out on -what was it?- I'm The Man Who Loves You? Did I mention the banter? Supersweet. My only question is - why does every venue I go to seem to have strict curfew? Can't we just keep rocking? Can't wait for a recording. Would really appreciate a PM as soon as it's available, but I'll try to check all the proper places. Glenn Kotche and John Stiratt were at 1st Avenue for Spoon. Hence, the one encore probably.

Nonlinear Nonfiction Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Glenn Kotche and John Stiratt were at 1st Avenue for Spoon. Hence, the one encore probably. Do you actually think that they would have left Northrop early to catch a Spoon show? Spoon is great and all, but the vibe in Northrop wasn't exactly 'let's finish so we can go hang with Spoon' kind of thing. If the show wasn't on the U of M campus, I think we would have been there till midnight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 nope, that was not the reason. the curfew at Northrop was 10:30, which they actually went over by a minute or two... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Elixir Sue Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 They just keep getting better...unbelievable. Here's a few photos from the show to wet your appetite. I'll get around to editing and uploading all of them sometime later this week.Those pics are gorgeous. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wilcomply Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 It was my first live Wilco show, and won't be my last by any means. I never knew you could experience such an emotional roller coaster at a concert. 12th row right behind OK guy. Hell, I might drive to Iowa tomorrow. And if I can get my hands on the recording....
