IRememberDBoon Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Sometimes I think Bull Black Nova is a setlist killer. Dont really enjoy that one so much. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
smells like flowers Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 A few months after W(TA) came out, I was driving and I saw one! An old Nova, painted in primer black (not shiny like this one). That was kind of cool. It's definitely one I don't need to hear live every time, though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sonicshoulder Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Sometimes I think Bull Black Nova is a setlist killer. Dont really enjoy that one so much. Agee with the first part 100%. I have used it as my pee break. I do like the song but would gladly trade the concert version for almost any 2 other songs live. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SarahC Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I love this song live. I was spazzing out when they played it in Atlanta this year. Purposefully, for about 3 weeks at school in the fall of 09 I would park next to a Nova every day. It was white though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not such a great song, but I kind of like hearing it because I owned a similar car. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cam Jones Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 This is sort of a bathroom song, that and the solo section of Handshake Drugs. I've seen them sooooo many times. But I do know that if I wrote these songs... I'd want to play them every night hahah. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I do enjoy Tweedy's solo versions more so than with the full band - never was a huge fan of the song. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sweet Papa Crimbo Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 The incessant guitar line without release always leads me to issue a 'wow' afterwards. It is an emotional marker at the beginning of shows. When it's followed by a quieter song, it offers a really stark example of the emotional peaks and valleys in the show.

theashtraysays Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I have only heard it a couple times live, but I remember that the first time I heard it, I said to the guy next to me "that one's a keeper!" I like it on the record, and I still like it even more live. definitely not on my pee break list or set dropper list (which I do have, btw). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Did you read that interview w/Tweedy in acoustic guitar mag posted in this forum earlier this morning? He talks about this very idea. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Still waiting on hearing the solo BBN. Hear it's awesome. Only caught it once at the 7/8/11 Fish Creek, WI show. I don't think a recording of the show has ever surfaced, yet - which is a shame. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Reminiscent of the shower scene music from Psycho, it fits the lyrics perfectly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No...I'll have to check that out.But I've been listening to music a LONG time. Wilco (Jeff) has a real sense of the ebb and flow of a successful rock show. May be the best ever.

Pennyghael Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Not a big fan of BBN but don't feel the need to flee the place when it starts. As long as it's not played every night.

The selection of songs from the current tour seems just right. OSM has to be the opener though or it'll just become the track you use for a p*ss / drink break. --Kieron Quote Link to post Share on other sites

worldrecordplayer Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Didn't like the song too much on the album. But I think it comes alive and is a killer tune in the live setting. Not to say I want to hear it at every show, but still think it's a balls to the walls rocker live. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The venue becomes an intimate coffee house when OTM opens...The opening sequence of OSM, Poor Places, Art of Almost and I Might can be devastating emotionally...

Pennyghael Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 The recent show in Munich went one better by relegating I Might to 5th and having IATTBYH at 4th in the set. I was almost reduced to tears. The best show I saw during the european tour. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IRememberDBoon Posted January 19, 2012 Author Share Posted January 19, 2012 the only thing that makes me want to shut up is that Jeff seems to love the song. that means something to me Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Theremin Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 It's the only song from W(TA) that actually has its place on a Wilco setlist. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
