shadowraven Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 (especially for whenever they play "Monday"). i'm gonna go ahead and say probably on Monday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
siandam Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Where we were standing - there was a low rumbling of talking all night, especially after the "intermission" when the left ramp to the floor filled up. I just don't understand why someone would pay for a ticket and make there way towards the front, if you have no intention of listening to the show. Behind me the whole show was a "couple" the woman has no interest in the music at all and preferred to talk to her boyfriend, make him run to the bar, and try to make out with him the whole time. But the show was incredible and we were surrounded by many cool fans who were there to enjoy show. Hopefully my ears will be un-fuzzied by 8:30 tonight. It's a good thing that we have Sunday off, I think I'm going to need the night off to rest up for the rest of the week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shadowraven Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 i've love to hear Not For the Season and Venus Stop the Train. that's about all i'm wishing for obsurity wise. can't wait for the next 4 nights Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mollyegan Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 How sad is it that I've created a playlist off the setlist using live and demo versions of the songs and will be listening to it all day while I clean the house? Although I have a feeling it won't ameliorate my depression...just make it worse! I'm so jealous. Keep the setlists coming...I need something to listen to tomorrow, too. HAVE FUN!!!!

solace Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Amazing setlist... Very good show During the show I felt like there was a bit too many slow/mellow tunes in a row during the first set, but after the show I realized they were just pacing themselves Like Kevin, plenty of SBS for me last night, but also a crapload of YHF too. They have a LOT of AM and Being There still to play I have a feeling they will repeat a few songs over the 5 nights though, they played too many of their best songs to not... Hoping tonight is a vastly different vibe and setlist tho! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shadowraven Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 do we think they'll play Kamera and Camera? and both versions of Shot in the Arm? hmmmm... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spenny Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Well, as a Brit ( yeah, i know. get over it. But i can't) who is still seriously pissed off about last year's cancellations (still no sign of an apology or an explanation, but eh? Who gives a fuck, we're only English) i am seriously envious of anyone who attended that gig last night. What a setlist? And to anyone who's going to the next 4 nights, you can take pleasure in knowing that some folk in this pokey little country are just a bit jealous. Christ! How can i love a band so much but still hate 'em? Bastards! Seriously! Enjoy 'em people. I wish i could. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bgalizio Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Nice setlist! All you guys with ringing ears - go buy some earplugs before it's too late! You're doing permanent damage here! Bummer to hear about the drunk yellers. Yes, it's a rock show, but it tends to distract me from the music (which is why you pay the $$$, as friends can get together and talk for free anytime). Hopefully it will be a nonissue at the Cleveland show, as it's a no alcohol venue. It made a difference for the Ryan Adams show there a few months ago! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jcarlile1 Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Oh, you kids... 60 is not so old, believe me, I know... I'll be there Wed night.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChooChooCharlie Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 I don't get some of these complaints. It's a fucking rock show. AMEN. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Twisted Acres Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Fucking AWESOME, so thrilled for all of you guys out there, especially those who travelled long distances to be there... enjoy the next 4 nights! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mountain bed Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 I was thinking maybe they'll release all the shows in a box set, kind of like Pearl Jam did with their shows from the GorgeThat's a fantastic idea! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NoOneKnowsMe Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 They did it in Iowa City in October, so there goes that theory. In fact, I think they may have the entire leg.Hrmm. They did it at the Auditorium in 06 when I saw 'em, but when I saw them in Davenport, IA in 07, they did not. Intreresting... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
altwys23 Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 What type of merch did they have for sale? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bullmind Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 lets not get carried away. my favorite song. they can play it any night but sat. would break my heart not to hear it. hopefully there is a little room for dancing at the riv. my girlfriend will be crushed if she can't spin around and lose her mind to the music.

chitaper Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 What type of merch did they have for sale?They have a different $25 poster for each night... unfortunately for me the first one was sold out before I could buy one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NoOneKnowsMe Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 What type of merch did they have for sale?T-shirts for the tour, t-shirts for the residency. Vinyl for SBS and AGIB, and I believe all their CDs. I bought a record and shirt, and got a free SBS tote bag. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chitaper Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 OK, I've been screwing around the last few hours trying to synch a video from my digital camera to the audio from my rig. Finally got it right I think... Pot kettle black from last night: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FzQwQd3Dt1A No, I don't have the whole show on video. Just that and one other song.

M. (hristine Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 I always get so happy for Leo...knowing he's throwing his fists in the air during the opening notes of that one. Holy mackerel the band sounds awesome. Gave me goosebumps. Thanks for that! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dazzler Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Nice job! Great sound and camera work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 That's pretty cool that they got one of the Sprockets dancers to play guitar. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blureu Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 *This video is unavailable* What happend to the video? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aricandover Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 *This video is unavailable* What happend to the video? wilco doesn't allow video recordings of their shows. I assume it got pulled because of that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NoOneKnowsMe Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 wilco doesn't allow video recordings of their shows. I assume it got pulled because of that.I don't even know if I should point this out, but it's fairly obvious there are plenty of clips people took on YouTube. Just type in Wilco, and a bunch will come up. Why would this one be pulled so quickly? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
k8tee Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 I'd be interested to know if any V'cers ran into me...I was the obnoxious little kid in the blue flannel near the front. If you were dancing with a girl toward Nels' side, I was to your right near the end of the show! What a great show. After having to flee from a drunken ass who was woo-ing in my ear along with the guitar solos (just about ruined Ashes for me) and playing air guitar (who does that?!) I found a great spot to enjoy it. Sorry to abandon the super-polite two young guys who also were suffering! Highlights: - Amazing version of Can't Stand It, a song I admittedly don't really give a second thought.- Nels playing guitar with a troll doll? during IATTBYR- horns! I hope the horns make a return and they don't play Monday on Monday, that's the only night I can't make it.- full-band Sunken Treasure. I've only heard Jeff play it solo; I really really liked this version- loud, loud, loud encore. They were rocking it.- Summerteeth songs where John and Pat get to sing -- I like when all three voices are there. Echo whoever said Pat was MVP. I didn't realize until afterward how many Sky Blue Sky songs there were, plus, this show was long (a good thing). I'll bet they repeat a few of the regulars. Can't wait for tonight!
