Wilco-Spokane 8/21


Recommended Posts

Damn Laurie... You had really nice seats. It must have been tough taking those pics while dodging Jeff's spittle ;)

 

Yes life can be tressful at times, but we all must endure. Actually, ny daughter Nic and I were right below Pat and had a great time, dancing like fools at times being two of onyl a handful doing so.

 

Here was the PLAN:

 

Sunken Treasure

Mountain bed

Company

Face

Hummingbird

Shot

Heart

Pot Kettle

Handshake

How to Fight

Impossible

Jesus

Misunderstood

Cali Stars

Hate it Here

Walken

I'm The Man

_______________

Ashes

Spiders

_______________

HMD

Just A Kid

Kingpin

Casino

Outtasite

Wheel bid X thru it then hand written in: Shall Be released with FF

 

My daughter was thrilled with Misunderstood, of course (she has had to live with me for most of her life). But we were sad when we saw the actual list (of course we want it all). Still, a wonderful show and such a great band. All the fans and Vcers we have met we now see at the shows. Life is good.

The crowd was verrrry respectful but, I dunno... they're a rock-n-roll band from Chicago, not the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. IMO the best rock experiences come when the band and the crowd feed off one another and it ends up like a sweaty orgy of music and love between a the band and a few thousand very energetic fans.

 

Mick: "It's OK Homer, it's only rock-n-roll fantasy camp."

Homer: Ohhh, but I like it!

 

Maybe with a band that draws a variety of peeps this will happen. Some wanna rock, some wanna be sober, some wanna get plowed, swg orchestral, swg anal about their personal space........blah blah blah

 

Yeah, I vote for the sweaty orgy, too.

Laurie,

 

If you don't mind my asking, how do you know this was the plan?

I believe Laurie's daughter got a printed setlist from the stage after the show. That's what was on it.

 

 

 

Oh Yes. As mentioned. my Nic got a set list and we were noting the diffs. If only I had like inside info... but alas, I am just a fan! happy to be that tho ---L

Oh Man...I was so hoping that they would play Spiders. I fear if they didn't even play their entire set, they are not coming back. I still think it is more their fault with the venue choice than it was Spokane's fault not getting into it as much as Tweedy would have liked.

I've seen several Wilco shows in nice, sit down theatres, and this was the only one where the entire audience wasn't up and dancing and singing along within the first 4 songs. :hmm

I don't know about it being the Band's fault for playing there. Wilco has played many shows at venues with similar alcohol policies (Performing Arts Center in Madison, WI and the Auditorium in Chicago both come to mind) and the crowds were really into it. I think the big difference was that there were a lot of people being exposed to the band for the first time in Spokane and those people were less into. It's natural enough. I wouldn't read too much into whether or not they'll ever play Spokane again though... not from one show anyway.

You people are really getting this all wrong. It wasn't that the Spokane crowd didn't know how to rock. Rather, the sound was so amazing in the Opera House that everyone was in awe of it all. If you were there you would have seen the crowd grooving to the Tweedy vibe. There was no time, no inappropriate moments to make a spectacle of oneself. In all it was sublime. If you didn't notice you were probably too drunk.

I hope so! It should also be noted that The Fleet Foxes had a lot of family members sitting in the front rows....including grandparents. They remained sitting during the entire show, so it may have looked from further back as if people weren't enjoying the show.
