lazy locomotives Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Phenomenal...my first Wilco show, btw...I was absolutely blown away and it was one of the best shows I've ever seen - from any band...I particularly liked Impossible Germany, Forget The Flowers, Side with The Seeds and IATTBYH...their range is simply astonishing...

mpolak21 Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Very exciting setlist, congrats to all who made it out. YLT/Wilco is as just about the perfect bill. --Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
adadebe Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 I saw a few tapers out on the field - is this forum the best place to look for the torrent? If anyone can send the link over I would really appreciate the help! Adam Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm personally hoping for a Solid Sound shirt! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I remember seeing the posters and tee shirts. The Frank tee, girls Ravana tee, green guitar tee, some other girls tee with like, hearts on it or similar. Anyway, I didn't notice anything else. Maybe other stuff was already on its way to Solid Sound...! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LumberJackMedia Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 I've seen Wilco about a dozen times now, and I have to admit that at a point during the show, I felt a bit disappointed. It isn't anything the band did but I think somethimes the band is generally so on, that it can at times be boring, and that is certainly something where the phrase "taken for granted" is probably apt. It is probably the Deadhead in me that once to see a lot of variation each and everynight, and that doesn't always happen, and isn't always warranted. I went to see Bears of Blue River, Avi Buffalo, and Blitzen Trapper last night, and I was walking to Avi inbetween bands, and we were talking about Wilco and Solid Sound etc, and I mentioned that sometimes I wish they were more flawed, because sometimes the flaws are where its at, if you get what I'm saying, and he replied "yeah they are all business" and I kind of got that. So somewhere in between this lust for variation and improvisation and just general spectacular skill, I'll see the forest for the trees, and I'm looking forward to 2011 to see Wilco again, with hopefully some new songs, and new appreciation.

adadebe Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 I hate to only have 2 posts, and both about the same issue - I'm thrilled to have had Wilco play in South Bend and I hope they come back soon! In the event they don't I'd love a recording of this show - please forward the information over if anyone finds a copy. I'm fairly sure I saw a taper or two out in the crowd Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AJ673 Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 I have to say this cause it's been bugging me (I'm married to a bass player - sorry in advance)- they play Handshake Drugs on the Ashes DVD but I feel that they didn't show enough of John when the main bass line came in. During any Nels guitar solo they zoomed right in - but John was completely obscurred. Any comments? Whoops - was meant to be attached to something else... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
