Central Scrutinizer Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Looks like some folks have hijacked the song request website: Jeez louise, just when I thought I'd actually get to hear "Dreamer in my Dreams" again, someone or something had to go throw a turd in the punch bowl. Vote early and often. KevinWhat happened to Dreamer?!? I'm on it ... Sincerely, The Late Richard R. Daley Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Preferred B Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Jeff's onto this racket, by the way. From this Indy interview: NUVO: How many song requests do you typically take from that online form for each show? Tweedy: Well, it depends on how many people are aware of it and how much people vote in each town. Generally, I Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Vote early and often. Kevin I'd like the (album) version of Sunken Treasure, short (no feedback) version of Less Than You Think, and I'll take ALTWYS. But I would like Dreamer and Red Eyed/I Got You. Lots of AGIB stuff would be good, like you guys were saying Hell Is Chrome, that would be great. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
watch me fall Posted August 6, 2008 Author Share Posted August 6, 2008 I tried voting for Dreamer last night, but I couldn't even make a dent in the Top 10. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ryann7739 Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 I'll find a way to get Dreamer in there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Central Scrutinizer Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 I posted this in the Jax thread, but this was some cyphering I did last night with the help of WilcoBase and setlists posted on VC: If the past is any clue, here are 13 songs the band has played in each of the first 4 dates (and are pretty standard for the rest of the shows in '08 (touring with the Total Pros ensures a few of these in the rotation): Spiders (Kidsmoke)Handshake DrugsI'm the Man Who Loves You (w/Total Pros)Hate It Here (w/TP)Walken (w/TP)Impossible GermanyShot in the ArmOuttasite (Outta Mind)Jesus, etc.You Are My FaceCompany in My BackOne WingSunny Feeling Can't Stand It and Monday have fit in with Total Pros. Only about 38 different songs have been covered in the four shows. Hoodoo Voodoo, Heavy Metal Drummer and Either Way made in all but Lollapalooza. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ryann7739 Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Would you people say that the following are "staples"?: SpidersOne WingSunny FeelingShot In The ArmHandshake DrugsImpossible GermanyWalkenHate It Here Cause these seem to get played every night, not just this tour but most tours (which I definitely do not have a problem with).

Wailin Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Very important question: Will they be selling beer at the show? I can't figure it out from the Koka website. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bigshoulders Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Very important question: Will they be selling beer at the show? I can't figure it out from the Koka website. Certainly. They also sell wine, if you like the grape.K Quote Link to post Share on other sites
