u2roolz Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Here's a question for someone. What other songs are left that have never been played live by the full band? I can think of Solitaire off the top of my head. I'm sure they're mostly b-sides at this point. The only possibilities since the residency are stray Mermaid Avenue songs, b-sides, and ... Solitaire. Now that I'm thinking about it, Solitaire would be great to hear in the stripped-down set. Maybe ... in Montclair? Yeah, it's mostly Mermaid Avenue stuff.

Magnetized Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 I was there last night, after finally being able to score a ticket (thanks, Scott!) and what a show it was. I'm so glad everyone has posted setlists--I get so into the moment at Wilco shows that I don't remember anything but feeling overwhelmed with joy. I'd love it if someone was taping the show, just to relive it a little. The National is definitely a great place for hearing live music, and the perfect venue for Wilco. Big enough to get that crowd energy going but intimate as well. And let's not forget the fact that it's general admission, so no sitting allowed (on the floor, at least)! I kind of thought the boys worked extra hard last night to win the crowd over. Richmond is not naturally the most "happening" place around, and there seemed to be a fair number of people--at least up close on the floor--who weren't totally familiar with every song (a little stumbling on the lyrics to the singalong on Jesus, Etc., for instance), so it seemed to me that the band took it as a bit of a challenge to put on an even more amazing show than usual on this tour. Whastever the reason, it was truly an unforgettable night. My 4th Wilco show, and the best yet. (Second best was at the Norva around 2004). And to my dancing buddies, whoever you are (young cute guy, young blond girl, curly grey haired guy about my age), thanks for the great energy and fun. Loved it!

Sweet Papa Crimbo Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Just wanted to add that it was so great to hear "Thank You Friends". I had a conversation with a friend about how I thought Wilco might start covering a Chilton song as a tribute, and that is one of my favorites. Just a great, great show. Come back sooner than 13 years please! It was pretty nice being able to get to and from the show in 5 minutes. I think Wilco's version of "Thank You Friends" is very well played. However; Chilton was being VERY sarcastic when he wrote that one. Bookending the show with "Wilco (The Song)" is either terribly ironic or very clever. And by the way, from the recordings I have heard of this leg of the tour, I must say I have never heard Jeff is such fine voice. He is REALLY good these days. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
anysongworthsinging Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 How to Fight Loneliness had a great bossa nova shuffle to it. The acoustic set dragged a little for me, but it was very intimate and fun. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And by the way, from the recordings I have heard of this leg of the tour, I must say I have never heard Jeff is such fine voice. He is REALLY good these days."Thank You Friends" is certainly one of the most sarcastic/meanest songs I've heard. That's what I love about it. Considering Jeff's comments regarding the chatty portion of the crowd, I'd say ending the main set with that made perfect sense. Anyways I was just glad to hear that be the Chilton song they chose to cover. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Golfishin Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 The acoustic segue was flawless in Richmond. As Poor Places crumbled into noise, the crew brought out a new drum set, some acoustic guitars, Jeff's upright bass, and two keyboards, and they got that set going without missing a beat. Same thing when it ended. Segued perfectly into Misunderstood. Don't know how, but it worked. It was flawless into and out of the acoustic set....John layed down a heavy bass line from open to close. Jeff's voice was stellar, Glen is the man and I thought Nels was a little subdued. All in all the energy and performance was truly spectacular. What other band can play three hours without a break? Wilco rocks and they rocked Richmond hard. I loved it all and Theologians and Ashes of American Flags haven't stopped playing in my head. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mynameistickle Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Did anyone who got a poster from last night care to upload a picture and share with us? I was unable to get a poster, I went to the merch table right as they were setting up Spiders (Kidsmoke) and the dude said they were all out. He also said they only had about 80 or so and he said they were #/175 so they might be selling more on the online store soon. Id just like to get a look at the poster so I can recognize it when it does show up in the store. Also I was able to snag Tweedy's setlist, I'll upload a photo of it, incase you guys wanted to see it. Incredible show!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hey Jeff! I forgot to ask Sherri (sorry if I'm butchering the spelling) if last night's show topped Stone Temple Pilots? Yeah, it's mostly Mermaid Avenue stuff.

So obviously not with the current lineup. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Jules Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 FWIW, they've done Secret of the Sea before -- pretty sure that was the song they did on Letterman or one of the talk shows when Jay had on that legendary fur coat -- but I think not with this lineup.

I got the gift cert at Gibson's, though originally advertised by Senor Tweedy as Applebee's because of my proximity to the dimwit with his iPhone held high. It would have been enough just to hear "How to Fight Loneliness" . . . this is gravy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I bet that we'll hear that in a stripped down way before this An Evening With tour finishes up. Yeah, I guess what she was looking for was what hasn't been played by this lineup. So you guys have it right on the songs that haven't been played by this incarnation of the group, I would say. It's a few stray Mermaid Ave. songs, some B-sides and Solitaire, I think. And I certainly wouldn't mind if we got Secret of the Sea before this "Evening With..." run finishes up. It was one of my requests at Jeff's recent Vic solo shows!

Shakespeare In The Alley Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 That fur coat is amazing. Jay looks so serious while wearing it, which just makes it funnier. I imagine Jeff backstage, looking Jay over and just giving him a "gonna wear the coat tonight, huh?" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Preferred B Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Actually, I had been wondering what Wilco had never played as a band, period. (Like "Some Day Some Morning Sometime.") But thanks to you guys I have both categories broken down! So basically, all that's left that's never been played are some b-sides and "Solitaire." Sounds like an overall fun show. I honestly cannot believe how many songs they've been playing. I hope none of the band members keel over mid-set before the tour is over. Or after the tour is over, either, but you know what I mean.

Shakespeare In The Alley Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 I'm amazed by their stamina. I know that scene in Ashes was about the physical stress the endure, and here they are, adding almost an hour to every show. I guess the acoustic bit is kinda a breather, but still.
