Preferred B Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 My source indicates the setlist was: You Are My FaceSide With the SeedsHandshake DrugsA Shot in the ArmJesus, Etc.Impossible GermanyVia Chicago-Happy Birthday to monitor tech Steve-Hate it HereWalkenI'm the Man Who Loves YouKingpinI'm a Wheel-------------Monday Some serious technical difficulties caused Wilco to take the stage about 40 minutes late, but once on they played a high-energy set that the crowd definitely seemed to enjoy. Fortunately, it didn't seem like the set time was cut down from what it would have been with an on-time start. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kudzu Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 I almost went to Coromandel but it's a hell of a trek from Auckland particularly on a holiday weekend, I was so glad to find out they were doing a full show in Auckland proper too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Preferred B Posted March 23, 2008 Author Share Posted March 23, 2008 Yeah, I normally kind of hate festivals anyway, so I was wondering if we were crazy to make the drive from Auckland. (My first experience driving on the "opposite" side of the road; quite an initiation.) But I'm so glad I got to see the Coromandel Peninsula. Cathedral Cove, Hot Water Beach, etc. - gorgeous. I wasn't expecting the hot water at Hot Water Beach to be quite so hot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
passenger Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Brianne, Yankees have no business driving down here. I almost get killed every time I cross the street.
