Wilco Intros


Recommended Posts

I just read that Wilco used Price is Right Intro for the Seattle show. I believe this intro has been used for several years now. Around YHF-GIB era, they used the Willy Wonka Pure Imagination intro. I thought that fit perfect for those shows.

 

Does anyone remember any other Intros to Wilco shows?

The Man by a 70's rock group Patto for AGIB shows, They played this recording of different African-Animal calls for a few shows on the YHF tour in the fall of 2002. There was an electronic piece they came out too for shows in 2006, but I don't remember the name.

And don't forget outros, too. Melanie's "Brand New Key" was always fun to hear on the way out of the venue. :) And "Rocky Racoon" is another outro I recall.

 

I remember them playing Waterloo Sunset once as an outro too.

 

Was it that thing that sounded like a marching army of kazoo robots? I loved that. Somebody said it was the theme to Midnight Special played on kazoos but I never knew if that was, uh, true...

 

I've heard that one too, but this one was all synthesizer.

It's the theme to Jack "something"''s Stargazing show taken from some quasi-classical artist.

 

The guy who would come on at 1a.m. on your local PBS affiliate and tell you to "Remember to keep looking up".

 

I used to watch this when I was a teen when SNL would finish up. It was kind of creepy.

 

Here's a video...

That song is in the opening credits.

Both nights at the Roundhouse the music played in the setup time between the opener and Wilco appearing was a variety of old German light operetta. This sort of thing (but not this in particular):-

 

 

Recognised a couple of tunes. Wonder if they've carried on with it across Europe.
