Dreamer07 Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 I was supposed to have been at this concert, but our plane was cancelled due to snow, and then it was cancelled the next day too!My one consolation is that they didn't do my song request, "Reservations".I have tickets for the Philly concert, and nothing can keep me away from that one! LOL. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
knotgreen Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Was there an opener? I'm going to the Boston show and have yet to find any info regarding opening act. That is a good looking setlist, can't wait to see them again! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
choo-choo-charlie Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Was there an opener? I'm going to the Boston show and have yet to find any info regarding opening act. That is a good looking setlist, can't wait to see them again! That leg of the tour is "An Evening With Wilco," so no opening act. Just 2.5 hours of face-melting Wilco.http://forums.viachicago.org/topic/42851-an-evening-with-wilco/page__p__1397531__hl__Evening__fromsearch__1entry1397531 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CaptainTrips Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Most importantly, how was the new song...style, mood, etc.?!?! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bböp Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 At Least That's What She Said No one else is gonna bite on this one? Heh heh heh. Really glad to hear they did Broken Arrow. So was there actually a new song played, or was that just assumed because Terrapin Ben couldn't read what he wrote down and/or forgot a couple of songs in the encore?

Preferred B Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 No one else is gonna bite on this one? Heh heh heh. Really glad to hear they did Broken Arrow. So was there actually a new song played, or was that just assumed because Terrapin Ben couldn't read what he wrote down and/or forgot a couple of songs in the encore? I did have a laugh about "At Least That's What She Said." Huh-OHH! To answer your second question, originally Terrapin Ben specified a new song but it looks like he's edited that since. So, not sure. At any rate, Ben, thanks for your post! I hope they continue to include "Broken Arrow" in the rotation. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Terrapin Ben Posted February 8, 2010 Author Share Posted February 8, 2010 no new song. i was just confused. apparently it was a neil young cover - broken arrow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Heartbreak Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 no new song. i was just confused. apparently it was a neil young cover - broken arrow.Twenty-seven songs! That's a legendary setlist. I hope they play that many in FL.I especially love the I Can't Read What I Wrote Down and I Forget What's Next listings. That is some classic shit, Terrapin Ben. If Wilco plays something in Clearwater that I don't know, I'm going to post it on here as No Fucking Idea What This Is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
u2roolz Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Wilco Spinner Link The Super Bowl? The Who? It wasn't even halftime when fans in Missoula started lining up outside the University of Montana's Adams Center for Wilco's first gig of 2010. The pocket-sized arena show kicked off what's being called 'The Tundra Tour,' as other stops this month include Vancouver during the Winter Olympics, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan and Duluth, Minn. "It's so cool to not have to get on a plane or cross a state line to see them," said the Trail 103.3 DJ who introduced the band, and no doubt fans in all those other markets feel the same. Opening with an explosive and extended 'Bull Black Nova' from 'Wilco (The Album)' the six-piece band played six straight songs before frontman Jeff Tweedy spoke, though he did raise both arms in the air like a referee when he sang "take off your band-aid because I don't believe in touchdowns" from 'I Am Trying to Break Your Heart.' "[bassist] John [stirrat]'s from New Orleans," Tweedy said, still talking football. "I've never been so happy for John. Not even when his baby daughter was born. "That's not true," he backtracked. "But it is thrilling. This is a very tender ballad, so shut up." Said ballad was 'Deeper Down,' with Nels Cline holding a mandolin to his chest while also playing lap steel. At 28 songs over two hours and 15 minutes, the show served as a preview of March's 'An Evening With Wilco' tour, which could feature even longer sets. "Ever since doing those residency shows in Chicago a few years back where we learned the whole catalog, it's like, well, we have all these songs," drummer Glenn Kotche told Spinner before the show. "There's a lot of songs we don't get to play very often, so I think that will be the focus: covering a lot more of the catalog than we're usually able to do." They covered quite a bit on this night anyway, from a laid-back 'Passenger Side' and twangy 'Handshake Drugs' to a soulful 'Hate It Here,' epic 'Impossible Germany' and audience-sung 'Jesus, Etc.' "We're gonna keep coming back until you get it right," Tweedy said of the crowd's vocal on the latter, to audible delight. Noting the response, he added, bemusedly, "Every once in a while I stumble onto a great frontman thing to say." They also dusted off the 'Mermaid Ave Vol. II' Woody Guthrie track 'Remember the Mountain Bed.' "We played that song because of your freaking mountains!" Tweedy said, then kicked off an eight-song encore with a majestic cover of Buffalo Springfield's 'Broken Arrow,' complete with the 'Mr. Soul' intro and 'Take Me Out to the Ballgame' calliope sound. It's a version that they first unveiled at the MusiCares tribute to Neil Young. Heard through Wilco's sonic prism, the song sounds even more like it could have been on 'Sgt. Pepper' or 'Pet Sounds.' "Yeah, you can see the tie-in between Neil Young and Pet Sounds," says Kotche. "Everything that was happening [in 1967], you can see he was kind of in that same head space. Our whole angle with learning that was to do it as exact as possible. The intros, the little interludes, the ending tag -- I'm even doing the same fills. It's fun to play -- and challenging." The encore also included 'Via Chicago,' with Kotche doing extraordinary drum-solo violence over the quiet melody, 'California Stars,' 'The Late Greats,' 'Heavy Metal Drummer,' 'Casino Queen,' 'Hoodoo Voodoo' and 'I'm a Wheel,' the latter of which found guitarist Pat Sansone making perhaps one more reference to the Super Bowl with a series of Pete Townsend windmills.

Terrapin Ben Posted February 8, 2010 Author Share Posted February 8, 2010 there was no time to pee. pee before wilco starts playing guys. that's my advice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
eardrum bleeding Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Thanks Terrapin Ben for the setlist, I forgot to write things down in all my excitement. One song I know you forgot was Casino Queen (psychadelic Gibson SG for all you guitar nuts) in the encore. I also think you have songs in the encore that were actually in the main set, but anyway. They opened the encore with their take on Neil Young's Broken Arrow which they debuted last week at the Neil benefit to rave reviews. Neil fans won't be dissapointed. They are totally faithful to the Neil arrangement even with the Oboe/string break in the middle, duplicated by Pat on the Synth with great gusto. Speaking of Pat, the new beard is giving him some serious Mojo, he was a wild man on the Telecaster last night. He must have been inspired by seeing Pete Townshend at the halftime show so he became MR Windmill/over the head playing maniac. He even interrupted Nel's solo on Hoodoo Voodoo with his own. Nel's gave him a look and then a thumb's up and they ended up in a nice guitar duel. Jeff just smiled thru the whole thing. Speaking of Jeff he was quite chatty overall. His comments included: "Never been happier for John" that the Saints won last night. "We played Mountain Bed because of all your frickin' mountains out here" "We will keep coming back until you get the sing-a-long perfected" (Jesus Etc, I thought we did great)The best was when he had a roadie go backstage and get some earplugs for a girl who had her fingers in her ears the entire concert. He said he would have done it sooner but he enjoyed watching her and warned her that next time she got in the "front of a rock concert that amplification can become an issue". My highlight was California Stars which I requested and was blown away by. Another was Mike standing up and carrying on like Elton John in the 70's during Shot in the Arm. I was worried he was going to break the keyboards. Let me know if anyone wants more details while its all still fresh in my head. Happy Monday.PS. I almost forgot! Jeff (guitarless) strutting around the stage, bending over backwards, leaning like a crooner on the amps and finally twirling, but failing to catch his mic for Hummingbird. He really seemed happy to be on the road again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cosplusisin Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Wilco Spinner Link "Yeah, you can see the tie-in between Neil Young and Pet Sounds," says Kotche.

u2roolz Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 I didn't see anyone mention this, but I noticed that they had a screen behind them again like in the Fall 04 tour.I found this last night online and it was a pain in the arm to find it this a.m.Eh...photo won't show up on here, so here is a link.Wilco Side With The Screens Quote Link to post Share on other sites

eardrum bleeding Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 U2 roolz, I couldn't open that pic but the background was a quilty/ cloth thing that would change color. They also had cool on stage lights behind them that resembled candleabras. Also, the image on that Wilco spinner link from that external review was not from last night's show. Can anyone tell that i'm unemployed and have nothing else to do today? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Edie Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 So how was Broken Arrow? It's pretty awesome that they are playing it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
barnyard pimp Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 WOW BROKEN ARROW!! I really had high hopes they'd keep this in the set...amazing. Hope they do it, um, every night in Seattle, Victoria, and Vancouver. So, was this an 'Evening w/ Wilco' show or did Califone open? If I can expect a show of this magnitude even w/ an opener (who I'm also excited to see), I'll quit feeling sorry for myself that the west coast isn't getting 'Evening With' shows...

AndyB Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Here's the actual setlist, in order: Bull Black NovaYou Are My FaceOne WingI am Trying to Break Your HeartCompany in My BackAt Least That's What You SaidDeeper DownImpossible GermanyPassenger SideHandshake DrugsShot in the ArmRemember the Mountain BedJesus Etc.Sonny FeelingHate It HereWalkenI'm the Man Who Loves YouHummingbird----Broken ArrowVia ChicagoCalifornia StarsLate GreatsHeavy Metal DrummerCasino QueenHoodoo VoodooI'm a Wheel Excellent show, but other than throwing Broken Arrow into the mix, I think the setlist was about as vanilla as they come. I was hoping for a few more "reaching into the catalog" songs, and not quite as many "we play these every single night" songs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
