Great Show, Jonathan Wilson as support band was really good and I got the setlist, at the encore they had written ITTBYH and One Wing, changed Misunderstoood with Red Eyed and Blue and added I Got You to finish the Show.

-seven Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 The crowd in Madrid was amazing. They were so excited and enthusiastic. It was so much fun. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
50footqueenie Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 After spending Halloween in Madrid (see Mikael's photo on Wilco Facebook) and being surrounded by partying witches, warlocks and lots of zombies, it came as a surprise that los Madrilenos had any energy left from the night before to party - oh but they did! The Teatro Circo Price is a great venue (what is it about Wilco and circus venues? - three on this tour alone) with a flat floor in the centre and seating wrapped right round to a tight thrust stage (Jeff at one point: hey! that guy's on stage with us!) The sound up front was a little muddy though, but otherwise it was a great show. With a set list obviously leading on from night two at the Roundhouse in London and changed once they realised they had a football match on their hands! The audience response after Impossible Germany was amazing, it looked like everyone on stage was quite stunned as the crowd broke into chanting ole!, ole!, ole! and Jeff had to bring proceedings to a halt to try and get the show back on the rails and under the curfew at 11.45pm. For seasoned support act watchers: Pat joined Jonathan Wilson for the first couple of numbers again. After seeing 4 gigs so far on this tour, I'm convinced JW is the new Grateful Dead (with a bit of Pink Floyd thrown in for good measure), but his set is improving as the tour rolls on.

Agree on everything. the Show was awesome. Jeff also mentioned that we spaniards are the only people who get understand the band(and little bit the scottish people too XD) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
-seven Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 That comment about the Scots was because of a horrible review they got after the Glasgow show. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
50footqueenie Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 It actually came about after Jeff saw a Scots guy (yes I confess, it was I) shaking his head furiously when he said that Spain was the only country that 'got' Wilco. We then had an exchange of banter that included the words 'rammy' and 'broken nose'. This may continue in Berlin in a week's time... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sweet Papa Crimbo Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 (edited) Hope you've packed enough commotion lotion for your trip. Uh...is 'Buckfast' something that can be googled?And secondly, do I want to? OK...so it appears that 'Buckfast' is the British equivalent of 'Thudnerbird', 'Ripple', etc. Nasty shit. Why would anybody be abusing the staff for not carrying that swill (assuming it is as disgusting as the google makes it sound. They transport it in Semi Trucks with tankers.)

Albert Tatlock Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 It's a Glasgow/Scotland thing, and strangely enough the fortified wine is produced by monks at an abbey in Devon.Guaranteed to cause a rammy, hence the nickname ... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's a Glasgow/Scotland thing, and strangely enough the fortified wine is produced by monks at an abbey in Devon. As a purveyor of all things fine and Scottish, I would like to make it clear that ne'er a drop from a bottle of 'buckie' has passed my lips in 49 years. I have the same response these days to Tennant's lager, but unfortunately cannot appear to be so devine about the consumption of it!! I ain't so pure about international drinking, but am surely looking forward to some fine helles, dunkels, etc in Deutschland next weekend - hooooorah! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
