hinko Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 I don't have a setlist but that had to be one of the best Wilco shows I've ever seen! Jeff looked like he was having great fun and they rocked every song hard. I've seen them over and over and this was a special show! Wish I had a ticket for Sunday but honestly, I've been here all week and I'm just plain worn out! Can't beat Chicago for a Wilco show. Happy birthday Spencer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Byram75 Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Taking a Half day off work.Driving into the city.Waiting in line outside the Metro for 6 and a half hours to be right against the stage so Pat could melt my face off during Red eye and blue >I Got You was priceless. The show had such a dirty rock and roll overtone the whole night.Even the few and far between slower songs had a different feel last night.I'll let the setlist speak for itself.Great show I met a lot of really great Wilco people in line and I wll never forget last night! Another thing that made my day was that the whole band walked in the front door of the Metro (except John and Pat) and said hi and shook hands and later they bought us all Starbucks! I'll let the pro's really review the show that i'll never forget! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spilled Milk Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 this really was the most memorable Wilco show I've ever attended. awesome night Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Byram75 Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Side note,the stage was very stripped down.No hanging ghost-like objects from the ceiling and a simple but effective lightshow.It was pretty much Wilco and their gear...AWESOME! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Degenerex Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 I wanted to sleep on it before I stated this, but that was my 26th Wilco show and probably the best. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
uncool2pillow Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 If I didn't know they had a slew of dates in 2012 I'd say this run of shows could be their swan song. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hwllo Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 What a show! So many treats to hear. Never expected to hear some of these songs let alone all in the same show! Also worth noting that Nels absolutely owned the show. Ashes of American flags was one of the best versions I've ever heard. The entire night he was just tearing it up. Jeff even gave him some smiles and nods during songs. As much as some of their quieter songs are amazing, in a live setting, nothing beats a good rock show! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
H.Stone Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Hmmm, that's weird. No setlist from bbop? What gives? Oh my god. Prior to this, First Avenue was the smallest venue in which I'd seen Wilco, and seeing them on the Metro stage was just...outrageous. The setlist highlight for me was Dreamer in my Dreams, complete with the raucous breakdown (sans the falling bottles), but there were so many gems! ELT will always bring me back to the opening moments of the first night of the Residency, so hearing that is doubly good. Kingpin! Too Far Apart! And the guitars in general sounded extra dirty last night. Lordy, lordy... (And as evidence of how far off of the pulse my thumb is, I had no idea "Capitol City" is joining the ranks of the most hated Wilco songs. What?!) And the Rogue Dead Guy (per doctor's orders!) and gyros afterwards were the perfect way to finish the night...or early morning, as it were. I am so glad I have been able to be a part of these shows.

Sweet Melinda Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 I will never again skip a Chicago run. Sigh. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
M. (hristine Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Photos posted on fb last night made me fearful that Nels would jettison himself off the tiny stage. Homey little venue. Too bad it's all tore down now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Spilled Milk Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 there were also an abnormal amount of fights near us all night. didn't really detract from the show because we were still having a blast, but i'd never seen a wilco crowd get surly like this...

Madcap Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 We watched the show in the hallway by the bar and there was a drunk girl that kept trying to start a fight with anyone who would try to get by her to get into the ballroom, like this was the first GA show she'd ever been to. It was the most obnoxious thing I've ever seen at a concert and definitely affected my enjoyment for the first 30 minutes while everyone was settling in. Of course, by the end of the show, she was the one barging in front of people and yelling at them, drunken hypocracy at it's finest. It was a fun show with a stellar setlist and I love the metro, but they definetly over sold the place which probably had a lot to do with all of the angry people in there. I'm just glad that most everyone else was cool and composed so that the situations never elevated to full blown fisticuffs. Hopefully LH is just as good musically and much better from a crowd/comfort perspective. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Preferred B Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Hmmm, that's weird. No setlist from bbop? What gives? "Pssst! Pssst! Best killer. Sirhan Sirhan. Same name twice." Seeing Wilco at Metro was crazy! Everything happening on stage felt so close to the crowd. Because it was. I loved seeing "Dreamer" again, and ELT, and the A.M. selections... so much fun. I also enjoyed the updated value of diet Coca-Cola and unlit cigarettes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
augurus Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Wow, this sounded quite rowdy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hwllo Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Wow, this sounded quite rowdy. I was there and didn't see any fighting. Must have been in select spots, but there was nothing in my area Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EatMorePez Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 I guess Diet Coca-Cola and unlit cigarettes now cost $6.49. Inflation. The "No Camera" policy was in full force. The security guard near me said it was a point of emphasis in their afternoon security briefing. I didn't see anyone kicked out, but as soon as a camera phone went up, the security guys were flashing flashlights in the face of the would-be photographer and cutting through the crowd to put an end to it. And this was five minutes after the doors opened, and people were just taking photos of the stage. Choice banter: "On Spencer's 13th birthday, he played with us at Madison Square Garden. He didn't want to do that tonight. Apparently this place isn't big enough." Quote Link to post Share on other sites
