ELS Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 I've seen Wilco four times and Jeff Tweedy two times. These shows have all been great, with setlists spanning the bands entire amazing catalog. But there's one thing that's been missing from these shows... You see, if there's one song I've always wanted to hear live, it's "Cars Can't Escape." It appeared on the setlist of one of the Wilco shows I attended, but wasn't played. When I saw Jeff in Champaign this January, he mentioned it several times onstage and didn't play it. That's why I'm trying to organize a mass requesting on the band's site. I've plugged it in several times, but if you guys would help get this rare song on the setlist, it'd be greatly appreciated!

Gabe32 Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 weird. i was just listening to the 1.30.07 show in knoxville and after playing jesus etc. tweedy says something like 'i'm now going to go from one of wilcos most popular songs to one of our most obscure.' then he plays cars can't escape. that show has to be one of the best tweedy shows ever. cars can't escape, chinese apple, wait up, wishful thinking... hope they play it at your show.

Guest Jules Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 This song is best left for Tweedy solo shows IMO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
