bböp Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Fun show, but the jackass that threw like three Sharpies up on stage right at the start of Misunderstood that hit Nels hard should be ashamed of him/herself (I can't imagine it wasn't a guy). At least Jeff called out the "douchebag" with the laser pointer. This probably makes it sound like a horrible crowd, but other than those two bad apples, most people around me seemed very respectful and into the show. And other than the Sharpie incident, the band seemed to be in a very goofy mood -- Jeff joked about how they had been watching DragonForce videos all day, for example, and played a brief overhand solo bit on Handshake Drugs "because Glenn said I couldn't" -- and enjoying themselves. Jeff also did a funny (at least to me) Springsteen impression at the start of the encore when he emerged sans jacket in his sweat-soaked black shirt with sleeves rolled up to the elbows and Stratocaster Telecaster dangling behind him by the strap. Maybe you had to be there. They seemed to be running short on time at the end for whatever reason and changed the last song to Hoodoo Voodoo from what was listed as a planned second encore of Kingpin and Red-Eyed/I Got You on the printed setlist. The setlist, as played, was: Wilco (the song)IATTBYHPot Kettle BlackA Shot in the ArmOne WingAt Least That's What You SaidSide With The SeedsBull Black NovaHandshake DrugsWar on WarSonny FeelingJesus, etc.Impossible GermanyCalifornia StarsForget the FlowersMisunderstood>Spiders (Kidsmoke)Hummingbird-----------------The Late GreatsHate It HereWalkenI'm The Man Who Loves YouHoodoo Voodoo Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe you had to be there. Ha, that is funny. I can see it. Witty fellow, that Tweedy. Those guys are living the life, I'm telling you. Playing with all these musical icons is becoming commonplace for them, but they do show their respect and admiration. Who's left for them to play with for crying out loud(another thread)? Nice report bbop! Doug (guy at the Garden) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ncbuckeye3 Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 jeff does play a tele - he had a strat last night!?!!? No, he was mistaken, it was a tele. I did not see a Strat in the house at all last night. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
creativetype Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Here are some sweet, sweet photos a gentleman named Tom Spanier got from the front row last night ... I'm jealous. He took his Nikon D300 and was in prime position. Not sure if Tom's on VC or not, but kudos to you, sir! Tom's OKC Wilco photo gallery I didn't get there quite as early and was a few rows back on the other side in front of Pat/John (and behind some rather tall people) and got some okay stuff ... I will try to cull through my images and post my own at some point soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CommerceComet Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 I think I would have preferred the planned ending (Kingpin/Red Eyed/Got You), rather than Hoodoo. Oh well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 I think I would have preferred the planned ending (Kingpin/Red Eyed/Got You), rather than Hoodoo. Oh well. It seems like every show thus far this tour has been augmented, due to time. Perhaps they can start a bit earlier. Damn curfews. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TemplePilot Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Alright so I drove up with my friend from Dallas for this, we're hype, I pull out my camera...and I left my damned battery in the charger at the house. I appreciate the photos that have been posted, but if anyone has any they would be willing to PM or email them (templepilot2002@hotmail.com) my way so that I can share them in a photo album I would really, really appreciate it.

bböp Posted June 16, 2009 Author Share Posted June 16, 2009 jeff does play a tele - he had a strat last night!?!!? No, it was the usual Tele. I just had a brain cramp while I was dealing with a shoddy WiFi connection. Thanks for the quasi-correction. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
creativetype Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Finally got my photos uploaded. Wilco concert pics I took my trusty "sidearm" (Sony H7 camera) along with me to the show ... Didn't want to take my big DSLR as it would be pretty bulky in the audience and I didn't think they'd let me in with it anyway. In any case, the H7 is not the greatest for low light (pretty grainy), but it has a decent zoom. I was about 3-5 rows back from the stage and was partially obstructed by other fans, so I didn't get the best shots. A few turned out okay. It was a good opportunity to try and work on composition though, and just practice ... and rock out! We were right in front of Pat and he did his utmost to put on a great show for us. He and Nels were nice enough to come out by the bus afterward and take some pics and sign some souvenirs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
creativetype Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Oh, and before I forget ... nice meeting Commerce Comet, Neil, MWB, the two young kids from San Antone, the tall dude and the platypus girl from Lubbock! (And anyone else I may have forgotten.) Hope to see you down the road at future gigs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yankhotelfox Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 I just noticed that they haven't been playing Heavy Metal Drummer lately, a staple for the last several years. Kinda weird. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RainDogToo Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Wow, they only did four new ones. I wonder if they'll break out more of the new songs once the album is released... that's what I'm hoping, anyway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
creativetype Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 See if you can spot my new friend - Chris from Lubbock – in the crowd. He's 6'9" and always has a great view ... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CommerceComet Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 did anyone count the "nothing"'s?It was somewhere around 36, I think. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
box full of wilco Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 did anyone count the "nothing"'s? By my count it was 35, I would also like to mention the douchbag comment about the guy with the lazer pointer was pretty funny. It was good to see the guys, and jeff especially in such a good mood. Great show Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gopokes Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 I counted 40 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Great showI thought the laser pointer criticism was funny in particular because Wayne Coyne was standing just offstage, and the Flaming Lips hand out laser pointers to the entire crowd.
