Ideal Setlist


Recommended Posts

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

 

It just seems to me short sighted and predictable. In my opinion, if this thread had been had 2-3 years ago, we would have seen nowhere near as many SBS songs. W(TA) gets slighted because its still young in our ears. One Wing, Bull Black Nova and Country Disappeared especially will grow to be seen as live gems. You'll see.... ;)

I'm already tired of One Wing and especially Bull Black Nova. That's not the case with other songs I've already heard countless times and would want to hear again and again.

The great thing about Wilco is that when you go to a show, no matter how many of your faves they play, there will still be some you wanted to hear but didn't. Then you get pumped for the next show, and no matter what they play, you have the supreme pleasure of seeing Wilco live. This setlist thread is complicated - did you guys think about the order and flow of the songs, too, or just what you wanted to hear? I can't begin to embark on a list. Just give me plenty of songs from BT, ST, AGIB, and sprinkle in some AM (okay, and a few from YHF) and I'll be a happy camper. The rest is, as they say, icing on the cake.

"I'd retire from live shows afterward if they did and I was there."

 

 

Yes, I always do whether I'm fantasizing on a message board (and that's all this is, ya know) or doing a music mix on iTunes or on a cd.

 

I guess I have great ambivalence about ideals being realized or fantasies coming true. See your quote at the top. Anyway, I love not knowing what song is coming next, and you need a few "duds" (very loosely used term) for peeing, getting a beer, collecting your wits from being blown away by hearing the songs you truly love the most.

1. Art of Almost

2. I Might

3. Sunloathe

4. Dawned On Me

5. Black Moon

6. Born Alone

7. Open Mind

8. Capitol City

9. Standing O

10. Rising Red Lung

11. Whole Love

12. One Sunday Morning (Song For Jane Smiley's Boyfriend)

-------------

13. Radio Cure

I think i only saw one Bull Black Nova mention.

 

I was a little surprised i thougth that song was more liked in the wilco community. Its one of my favs. I guess they have so many great songs it is tough to make an allmighty setlist with everything.
