mekmad Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Hello - I'm taking a Wilco first timer to a show next month and wanted to get him some MP3's of what they may play. I haven't been to a show in a few years, what do they play most these days? I was thinking at least:Jesus EtcTrying to Break...Via ChicagoHandshake Drugs What are some other common ones? I don't really know much off Wilco(The Album) either other than bull black nova, I think I remember seeing that on a few set lists recently. Sorry if this is a common question, thanks for the help!

calvino Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 You can pretty much guarantee they will play "I'm the Man Who Loves You". You can check over on Wilcobase for all the recent setlists. http://wilcobase.com/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 It would be better to check the After The Show thread. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 That too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 That too. Wilcobase has not been updated in a long time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mekmad Posted August 18, 2011 Author Share Posted August 18, 2011 I'm the one that loves you, good one.. I was looking at some of the "after the show" setlists earlier but those sound stage shows kinda run the gambit. Seems like Impossible Germany is another good bet. Maybe I'll just give him a copy of Kicking Television and call it a day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
choo-choo-charlie Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Maybe I'll just give him a copy of Kicking Television and call it a day. That's a safe bet: a setlist heavy on YHF and AGIB tunes, with some regulars from SBS (Impossible Germany, Walken, Hate it Here) and W(TA) (Bull Black Nova, You Never Know, One Wing). *Maybe a song or two from Summerteeth (Shot in the Arm, Via Chicago)*Maybe an encore cherry picking rockers from A.M. and Being There (Casino Queen, Box Full of Letters Outtasite, I Got You, etc.)*Maybe some new ones.

parisisstale Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 possibly woody songs you could get are california stars & airline heaven.... .....if not, they're still two tunes that could pique their interest. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I guess its a good thing for us that its kinda hard to nail down an expected setlist.. Thanks for the w(ta) suggestions, I'll add those to the list. "Easy rockers" are always good at piquing interest too.. Thanks all! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That's the best way to compare recent setlists. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sonicshoulder Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Maybe I'll just give him a copy of Kicking Television and call it a day.This is what I always do and if they aren't hooked by the fifth "nothing" something is wrong with them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, but its more fun asking you all.. Strike up a discussion on the "discussion board".. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I Might Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 I tried to get my sister into Wilco a few years ago by having her listen to Kicking Television. Midway through the "nothings" she turned and asked if my CD was broken. Some people just don't get it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I was working in a kitchen in a [chain] restaurant and had KT on the stereo in the back. One of the servers came back and popped open the CD player and said "GOD, DIDN'T YOU GUYS NOTICE THE CD WAS SKIPPING FOR A WHOLE MINUTE?!!?!?!?!?" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Robby Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 I guess they are too young to have heard Steppenwolf's live version of "Monster". Probably not a fair comparison to "Misunderstood", but it was the first time I ever heard a band do something like this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
