Wilco - Musikhuset, Aarhus, Denmark, 25th May 2010


Recommended Posts

Lack of reportage skills and post show Bavarian beer hall inbibing mean that I can't report the set list in correct order, however these were definitely played:

 

Ashes of American Flags

I am trying to break your heart

Black bull nova

I'll Fight

Sonny Feeling

One Wing

Country Disappeared (!)

Impossible Germany

Handshake Drugs

Theologians (!!)

Sky Blue Sky

Hate it here

Walken

You never know

Via Chicago

California Stars

Shot in the arm

War on war

Jesus etc

Heavy Metal Drummer

In the man who loves you

Encore:

The late greats

I'm a wheel

 

The Musikhuset is a superb new concert hall but lacked any real atmosphere, even for those of us five rows back in the orchestra pit seats. It was only two thirds full (I estimate maybe around a 900 attended) and a somewhat conservative audience (Jeff: "You look like a bunch of guys at a baby shower") didn't help things - there were grown men sharing boiled sweets in the row before us and the lady next to me kept hugging her ears every time Jeff hit his SG!!

 

To be fair though, they did warm up and by the end of the set (which closed with "shot in the arm"!) they were all on their feet. I got the impression though that the band were a bit weary and the whole set and encore came in at under two hours.

 

Good times though and me and Mrs Queenie now look forward to seeing them here in the land of the deep fried Scots and onto Mission Impossible Germany in September.

Pretty much the songs they always use to play but I was glad to hear Sky Blue Sky and Hummingbird. They didn't even try to do Jesus as a singalong as there was almost no reaction by the audience to the question if people are ready for that... Pretty lame audience, but nonetheless Wilco did a good job. To me it was strange and a bit hard to keep my seat, as I had the expectation to visit a rock concert and not a musical or something... Sound and lights were brilliant!!! (I'm sorry for incorrect English, I'm a bit tired.)
