Guest Hollinger.
Nice Being There one-two punch at the end. Hope they break out Monday in F-L-A this week.

How many people there? Anyone know?

 

 

Expected 45k in attendance, but they played at the same time as Rage, so umm... considerably less than 45k?

Only 1:20. I gues they didn't come on at 8:00. I heard they had to be done by 10.

 

Double-checked, they were scheduled for 8:30 so I shouldn't have been expecting much more.

Rage was playing the bigger side. Or at least what looks like the bigger side from the map.

Non-Wilco related note... sounds like the RATM go a bit out of control (in a bad way). Had to stop the show more than once because people were getting hurt.

just got home from Lollapalooza.

 

I was the only one in a group of 20 who wanted to see Wilco over Rage, so I sucked it up and went to see Rage (I already saw Wilco 8 times this year - and I don't mind Rage)

 

The sound was horrible, the show was stopped at least 3 times because people were getting hurt, and we got lectured by Zach de la Rocha about how we all need to love each other - right before he sang "Bullet in the Head" and encouraged us to burn down buildings.

 

Moral of the story... NEVER miss Wilco. Especially when they are in walking distance.

 

But all in all, it's been a great weekend so far. Broken Social Scene and Raconteurs alone were worth the price of my golden ticket.

The performance of Monday was beyond amazing, and I loved having the horn section for it. That was just stellar. Got me ready for the Spokane show in only a few weeks.

 

Best live band ever.....

its really not, considering I'm seeing them in Cary not too long after that. I just hope they play the new songs and I hope its a better set than the Bonnaroo set I saw last year (my first Wilco show)

 

Ah, but it was better than that set.

 

I highly enjoyed it, I was so shocked to see most of those songs at a festival show. One Wing-->Spiders is fucking epic. It's Just That Simple was quite the shock, I was so happy to see John singing lead and the crowd cheering when he did. Crowd was great, you could really feel a sort of "hometown vibe" as one of my friends called it. All the SBS songs were amazing, Shot In The Arm-->Jesus was a big crowd pleasing section, the sing alongs were great. That whole part with the Total Pros was amazing, and the Monday-->Outta Site should close alot of shows. Was so amazing.

 

Beat Radiohead, IMO. Broken Social Scene were amazing as well.

 

I hear there were riots at RATM. I simply laughed.
