Happiechick Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Really fun!!! Security was crazy, nobody was allowed to rush the stage. And they meant it, too. A security guard was running back and forth at the front all night making sure nobody got up there. I asked one of the guys working there and he said it was requested by the band, but I don't know if he just wanted me to listen to him. I met some nice Viachicago fellas, too! Also, my mom and brother were sitting in the gallery, and during the second song an older fellow asked a younger guy (my brother said 19ish) to sit down, and the kid attacked the guy! He was taken out of the place after but then came back, apparently. Bad vibes.Hi Rachel! I thought of you when I saw Pot Kettle Black on the setlist! Are you staying with us this weekend? email me!

c.lo Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 We were in the 1st balcony and had a few people around us that sat through the whole show. Not sure how anyone could sit through that whole encore set, if that didn't get you moving, nothing can. we were in the balcony too, it amazed me that everyone was sitting! the first show (of 5) that I've sat at.I wanted to stand, but we had people behind us, so thought it would be rude. they stood for the encore though, so then I did.

TheMaker Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 My first show in something like three years, and pretty solid overall! I didn't really lose myself in the experience 'til Monday segued into Outtasite, but those last few numbers were absolutely stellar. Also really, really appreciated the Summerteeth songs, especially How to Fight Loneliness. And a huge thank you to the loner with a seat in the left gallery, aisle 21, row C for not showing up. I took your seat so I could enjoy the show with the folks I ended up going with. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

othersongs Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 When does the bootlegs of these shows usually show up? Where should I be looking for them? B-etree? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Most of the Wilco shows are posted there, or Dime A Dozen. Also, check this section of Via Chicago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Turnips Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 My 3rd time seeing Wilco and they sounded better than ever, without a doubt. The last time in Toronto at Massey, I felt like something was off and the show lacked energy. Nothing like the first time I saw them, which was the love-in at MSG on new years. Anyways, this show was phenomenal. The sound from the balcony was insanely good, all kinds of noises bouncing off of everywhere produced quite a trippy effect. Nels completely blew me away, I knew he was good but shit the guy is a maniac. Impossible Germany an obvious highlight, and I really enjoyed hearing One Wing and Theologians. Shame that Feist didn't perform, I left a little disappointed about that but no biggy in the end. Seeing them on Wednesday reaffirmed my position that this band is 10000x better live than recorded. Over the past few months I've been playing the albums to my girlfriend and she couldn't really understand my love of Wilco. Anyways she left the concert a fan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Feist was at the Mod Club that night - boyfriend in Bahamas was opening for BSS-mate Amy Millan. Glad she showed up on Thursday, and that I chose that show to attend.

Turnips Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Ah, didn't know that, thanks. Yeah from the looks of the setlist, last night's show sounds like it was even better! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
