okebo Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 From what I can remember... Hummingbirdnew song? (sorry)forget the flowersca starsJesus etc.*Late GreatsWar on War * after song Jeff says "take that Norah". during Norah's set she says there is a feud between Wilco and Her. She was wanting to play Jesus etc. but the band played it earlier. She decides to play it anyway and says "Take that Jeff". Cool to see the song played twice. Also, the whole band, minus Jeff, was out for Comes A Time to close out the show. I thought it was odd that Jeff was not on stage. Anyway, Wilco sounded great, and Nels sounded fantastic on the acoustic!!! I apologize for the bad review and am sure I am missing a song or two. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Preferred B Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 It was such a fun day! It felt super long, though. The new Wilco song was one I'd never heard before. (Of course, I haven't heard anything Jeff played solo in Spain.) My first time seeing Neil, and it was great. I loved his songs, but I thought "A Day in the Life" was fantastic as well. Tomorrow we're in the 100 section rather than the 200 section, so hopefully I'll be able to see a little more without the aid of the big screens. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bböp Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Okebo's setlist was almost right, just switched Jesus and Cali Stars. The correct order was: Hummingbirdnew song-I'll Fight For You (?)Forget the FlowersJesus, etc.California StarsThe Late GreatsWar on War The new one wasn't the one Jeff played at his solo shows in Spain last month, based on the YouTube clips I watched. I hesitate to describe a new song after hearing it once -- and in an all-acoustic performance, no less -- but it's definitely got a catchy chorus that starts off the song. (Can that even be properly described as a chorus? I'm not sure.) Anyway, it goes something like "I'll go, I'll go/I'll fight for you/I'll kill, I'll kill for you/I will, I will." I wouldn't say it's a poppy arrangement like "Sunny Feeling" by any means, but that refrain definitely worked for me as a hook. On first listen, it seemed to me to be another work in progress, and who knows how the final version will turn out? This much is certain -- it's got some lyrical depth to go along with the aforementioned "chorus" that needs some more listens to fully sort out. One jarring line toward the end of the song went something like "I'll die alone like Jesus on the cross." Hopefully we'll get to hear it again tomorrow...later today, actually. For those interested in Neil's set(s), he started the entire show off with a couple of songs played solo:I Am A ChildSugar Mountain Then to close out the show, he came out with his touring band and did:new song-Just Singing A Song Won't Change The WorldOh, Lonesome MeMother Earth (Natural Anthem)The Needle and the Damage DoneUnknown LegendHeart of GoldOld ManGet Back to the CountryA Day in the Life [The Beatles]Comes A Time [w/ensemble] *Neil also came out and played and sang with Cat Power during her set-closing rendition of "Fortunate Son."

H.Stone Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 I'd love to hear Oh, Lonesome Me. Looks like a great day, and the weather appeared to be really nice as well. Have a great day today, and I hope you get to hear some more new songs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

miss jayne Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Wow what a night...my friends and I agreed that we would love to see any of the bands that played again. Although Wilco was early in the day (fourth up) so not as long a set as folks got later in the evening. I'm with Bbop the new song had a nice hook and the lyrics seemed intense. Jeff told us that this was his favorite place...area...market so always great to hope for a multinight run in SF. He also said before California Stars that he was wearing his flag pin in this unamerican part on the country and he was proud of his country. At that moment the big Vote November 4 sign went up on the screens. Other highlights for me were watching Nels play acoustic and still "getting Clined" Mikael playing the grand old Neil Young pipe organ. and Prefered B have a great time in section 101 where "these seats don't suck" (understatement from my buddy Melinda) As to NY brilliant.

Words fail me at this moment Thanks for this post miss jayne. I was wondering how Nels acoustic would sound . I'll bet that was awesome! Everybody seems to be coming to a conclusion that NY is blowing up buildings wherever he goes. I can't tell you how happy this makes me feel. When NY is feeling inspired it really is an amazing thing, and from most reports he's feelin it pretty good right now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
