Just an observation. Most peoples ideal setlist are close to the current setlist or feature mostly songs that have been played in the last year or so.... :monkey

 

i was responding to the word 'ideal'... this is what i would like to see, but only with a group of true wilco fans b/c i think the others would just crap on it.

An argument about Fiona Apple Last album with a friend on Facebook end up with me making my own ideal wilco setlist. It's not a list of my favorite wilco songs but an ideal concert experience. Limited to 25 songs otherwise it's too easy. No songs from W(TA) as you can see:

 

 

1. Suken Treasure

2. I Am Trying To Break Your Heart

3. She’s a Jar

4. War On War

5. A Shot In the Arm

6. Hell Is Chrome

7. Ashes Of The American Flag

8. Impossible Germany

9. Via Chicago

10. Muzzle Of Bees

11. How To Fight Loneliness

12. Remember The Mountain Bed

13. At Least That’s What You Said

14. Not For The Season

15. Pot Kettle Black

16. Hate It Here

17. Theologians

18. Poor Places

19. Reservation

20. Spiders (Kidsmoke)

Encore #1

21. Red-Eyed and Blue

22. I Got You

23. Casino Queen

24. Kingpin

Should be noted that Wilco played their entire catalog in 2008 at the Riviera in Chicago My link. They even performed the unreleased "Cars Can't Escape" which may be the most heartbreaking song I've ever heard. They didn't go through the whole catalog sequentially which definitely allowed them to show off just how adventurous a band they are.

This was really hard to limit to a somewhat standard-length show. Would probably add in several more songs off "The Whole Love", as that is what I want to hear live now. I put in two that have been played, and two that are intriguing in terms of length/little bits of description we have read.

It's laughable that there's plenty of Wilco fans (myself included) that don't love the record, especially live? Ok, that makes sense.
