bböp Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 As the band made its return to the Bay Area, it was one of those nights when it wasn't necessarily what they played but how they played it. The mood, both on stage and in the crowd, seemed very good all night, and the band played well IMHO. Jeff admitted he was pleasantly surprised by how into it the crowd was, which he apparently wasn't expecting based on the number of wine-related Wilco tweets he saw before the show. Haha! Anyway, it seemed like the Civic Auditorium had a pretty tight 11 p.m. curfew. That resulted in a considerable shortening of the planned encore on the printed setlist (which had Via Chicago, Whole Love, You Never Know, Walken, I'm The Man Who Loves You and I'm A Wheel). One final noteworthy item was that apparently Jane Smiley's boyfriend (and Smiley herself) were in attendance. Jeff mentioned them as the band left the stage. Here was the complete setlist, as played: One Sunday Morning>Art Of AlmostI MightBull Black NovaSide With The SeedsCalifornia StarsRed-Eyed and Blue>I Got You (At The End of the Century)Born Alone(Was I) In Your DreamsYou Are My FaceImpossible GermanyBox Full Of LettersI'm Always In LoveJesus, etc.Capitol CityHandshake DrugsWar On WarDawned On MeA Shot in the Arm----------------------------Whole LoveWalkenI'm A Wheel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sandyriz Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Happy to see that One Sunday Morning was the opener. Peeps there who really wanted that and got it (as did I in the Arizona show). And thx for the info about J. Smiley and boyfriend "being there!" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
redpine Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 It was a great show and from where I was standing a very enthusiastic crowd. The encore set was ended abruptly but other than that it was another flawless show. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Madrone Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Nice to hear continued enthusiasm for this tour. I'm really psyched for the Warfield/Fox... That Red-Eyed-->I Got You better make another appearance! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ragtime Willie Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 This is the best band going. They were totally on last night. Set list was in some ways very expectable. I can do without Jesus and Handshake and Shot...but it doesn't matter, because they have such an amazing grove that whatever they do is really good and often great. Plus, Jeff was having a great time and really got into the crowd. Lots of young people, everyone paying attention and signing along. I could swear they played "I must be high." Obviously, it was just me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cold Captain Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Great show, cool venue, but I'm a little miffed to read the encore was cut short by 11 p.m. curfew. Hope the same thing doesn't happen tonight in SF! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dhora Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Great show. Tweedy made a comment that "(Was I) In Your Dreams" was a strange request that they have been seeing for the past few weeks. It's probably because that is the default option in the song request form. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ironicninja Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Yeah, I wish I hadn't read that they had more songs to play. It's not a bad venue, and we need them in San Jose, but having a curfew sucks and I'm not sure why they have one in the first place. I still had a great time though.
