Jim Boeheim Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 So it looks like a lot of folks watched the webcast. I was right up front for it and I think it was about the best damn show I've ever seen. I would say they were in rare form tonight, but maybe they've been this good every night recently? I don't know, but jesus it was great. Limited to an hour and half timeslot, but it didn't matter.

OCP003 Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 That was the loudest, most full sounding Wilco show i've been to. They ripped it up for sure. Nels was going extra crazy. The whole marriage proposal thing was cool too! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zia17` Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 I couldn't agree more, friggin AMAZING! To be honest I wasn't expecting such a rockin acoustical experience because they typically sound best in small (indoor) venues.The "Being There" classics made my night!

mountain bed Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 I watched this on the webcast. Looked like a huge crowd. Anyone have an idea how many folks were at this? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thepogo Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 I've never seen Wilco play inside before. Only at festivals. This one rocked harder than the other 4-5 times I've seen them. I saw them at Austin City Limits Festival back in Sept. and I thought they rocked out there. The Voodoo Fest show blew that one away! Looks like the band is in great spirits. The crowd was not nearly as big as the ACL Fest. That made it all the better to be able to get real close to the stage. I was about 10 people back. Outstanding show!

billydee Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 I watched this on the webcast. Looked like a huge crowd. Anyone have an idea how many folks were at this?I'd guess only about 7-8000 people hung around for them which suited us just fine. On the video you'd think it was packed but was sparse on the sides of and behind the soundboard. The set was friggin amazing and was especially hard rocking. It was our 5th of 6 shows this tour and may end up being the best.I was able to get the setlist from the soundboard and the first song read "Misunderstood or Via". They surely made the right choice with Misunderstood, which got a seemingly tired crowd going pretty good. But alas, only 20 (or 21 depending on how you count) "nothings"...... Was also great meeting some new friends there via this fine place! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loraaw Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 It's interesting that the people who watched on the Web cast described Jeff as being disconnected and the show as being a bit off, while those of us who were there thought it was one of the hardest rocking performances in recent history and the band was definitely into it. I mean when does a band ever do an encore and go over their time limit at a festival? Nearly never. Hoodoo Voodoo was worth the trip alone. One of my favorite moments was when Nels and Pat were jamming and Pat saw Jeff and kinda stepped out of the way for him, but Jeff motioned like "no, you two keep at it" (and they did).

I was thinking the same thing. Lost in translation (via iClip). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

loraaw Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 I took like 20 pictures, but was standing on a board people were jumping on most the night and they all came out blurry. Here's my only non-blurry pic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MIKEPUA Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Show was very amazing. Wish they would have had more time, but they used what they had to their full potential. We had all access for this show and spent a lot of time on stage for bands we wanted to see, but with this Wilco show we wanted to be smack dab in the middle of the crowd where everyone around us was dancing their asses off. The HMD/Marriage proposal was fun. Misunderstood opening was great. Red Eyed/I Got You - Casino Queen _Outta Sight with a Hoodoo Voodoo encore was a great way to end the show. Impossible Germany was unbelievably well played. Pretty much everything played was great and ended the festival the best way possible. Red (my wife) and I wanted to see Wilco more than anything all week, so having them close on Sunday was just perfect. After the show we went backstage and hung out with John for a while. We ended up spending some extra time in NOLA after because we were ready to leave the music, food and general good times NOLA always brings us. CAn't wait for next year. Now, when is Tweedy going to announce this solo tour? Any guesses? Jan/Feb.....I hope Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chuck Turner Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 That was the loudest, most full sounding Wilco show i've been to. They ripped it up for sure. Nels was going extra crazy. The whole marriage proposal thing was cool too! "The whole marriage proposal thing was cool too!" . . . i'm low tech, could someone explain what took place . . . 'marriage proposal thing' ?
