I know this would be a ridiculously long show, but I couldn't omit anything! In reality, my perfect Wilco setlist would be virtually every song they've ever put out, minus a few here and there. As long as they had two or three intermissions I would enjoy every minute of it. :D

Blue Black Nova is the demo version -- originally, the song was about a used car dealer trying to unload a large shipment of very dark blue novas .. "They're in the showroom, out on the floor. I'll give you a deal, let me get my manager."

 

Very different from the version on the album, more tacky, less dark. A keeper!

I'm going to have to go with the 2/26/2008 setlist from the 930 club. Of all their shows I've been too, this one had more than I could ask for, including some great rarities and b-sides. To keep it under the 25 song limit, I took out Hummingbird (came after ITMWLY) as well as the entire second encore (Shouldn't Be Ashamed, Heavy Metal Drummer, The Late Greats), except for War on War. One of my favorites, so I'll stop the show on that one.

 

 

1. (Was I) In Your Dreams (w/Total Pros horns)

2. Blood Of The Lamb (w/clarinet only)

3. You Are My Face

4. Pot Kettle Black

5. A Shot In The Arm

6. Side With The Seeds

7. Pieholden Suite (w/Total Pros; Nels on banjo and tambourine)

8. Impossible Germany

9. Sky Blue Sky

10. Handshake Drugs

11. Too Far Apart

12. Summer Teeth

13. Jesus, Etc.

14. Walken (w/Total Pros horns)

15. I'm The Man Who Loves You (w/Total Pros horns)

16. A Magazine Called Sunset

17. Red-Eyed And Blue

18. I Got You (At The End Of The Century)

19. Monday (w/Total Pros horns)

20. Outtasite (Outta Mind)

 

Encore:

21. Hate It Here (w/Total Pros horns)

22. Can't Stand It (w/Total Pros horns)

23. The Thanks I Get (w/Total Pros horns)

24. Just A Kid

This was also the show where someone gave them the "Grammy" and was included in the Ashes film.

I'm not familiar with the rarities, but I'm 100% sure he is.

 

I just wish he wasn't.

 

 

I like that you include stage banter, at specific times, in Your fricking perfect 25 song Wilco setlist.

 

Do you have the banter scripted?

 

I certainly have mine scripted.

That's a low-key beginning, but a great one! And I keep forgetting how awesome "The Good Part" is...they played it in Kansas City in 2006. It was my first Wilco show and I remember thinking "what the hell is this? it's awesome! and why isn't it on a record!?!?"

Thery're in Japan.

Nels and Pat have food poisoning.

Jim O'Rourke sits in.

Somehow I'm in Japan too!

Also there is no banter except for Jim belching and farting into a Mr. Microphone.

It's great!

Nels and Pat recover but not before the band changes it's name to Listen To What The People Around You Are Playing And Play

What Is Vital To The Integrity Of The Song And Don't Do Windmills.

Upon hearing of the name change Nels and Pat resign.

Nels goes back to making incredible music on his own.

Pat goes to school to study fashion and designs womens vests for Target.

The band formerly known as Wilco scale back their touring schedule to concentrate on making albums.

Have you been to Owl and Bear's Wilco archive? What you described basically happened from 2001-2003 and the shows are great. The two live Loose Fur gigs sound like they'd be right up you're alley.

Do you have the banter scripted?

 

Something like ..."Hey, it's Barb. Hi Barb, how are you. Nice shirt. Would you like 20 bucks? Yes.. will you take a check? What song would you like me to sing. Hey, why don't we make that 30 bucks. I got two 20s, got change? No, ahh, just keep the $40."
