3/5/08 -- Tipitina's, New Orleans, LA


Recommended Posts

I'm not a die-hard fan though I have listened to Wilco since A.M. I no longer attend as many concerts generally because I'm now in my 30s and due to career demands. That being said I've fortunately managed to see Wilco three times here in New Orleans since last fall. All three shows were incredible. Their set at Voodoo Fest regained my interest. Last week's back-to-back efforts at Tipitina's were awesome. I preferred the first night because they played more of my favorites. Both shows made me a fan of their newer material (Ghost & Sky). I went to both shows by myself because nobody at my office had ever heard of the band. Perhaps next time I'll be able to meet some of you more knowledgeable fans. I probably won't post much but wanted to add my two cents to feedback on the N. O. shows.

I cannot stress enough how great these shows were. I got in early and hit the front row the second night. I would put both shows in the top ten of my all time experiences. They were phenomenal. Just look at the setlists! Pieholden, Nothingsever....., pickup the change, magazine called sunset, too far apart, pot kettle black all in the SAME FUGGING SHOW!!!!

 

I would never ever ever dream of missing another tips wilco show as long as I live

 

Thank the band so much! It was mind blowing. Too much fun.

 

Also caught Kermit Ruffins and the BBQ swingers at Vaughans on Thurs night

 

Hit the Maple Leaf for Rebirth after the first show.

 

That town is the shit.

After being stuck in the back of Tip's night one I decided to have a little fun and go up front for the final night in New Orleans. Right in the middle of the action - 6ft behind Paul.
