bböp Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 This show was full of twists and turns—literally —from a fairly sedate beginning to some amusing moments midway through (Ramon, who Jeff dubbed the record holder for most pens in his shirt pocket at a concert, will surely go down in the Wilco annals) to a little rock at the end, when the crowd finally got on its feet. The venue was an upscale performing arts center, a bit sterile IMHO, with reserved seating and two balconies. I only saw one omission from the printed setlist, which had Via Chicago or Sunken Treasure listed as the first song of the encore. The band played just shy of 2 hours, 10 minutes. I'll let others chime in with more details, but here was the complete setlist as played: One Sunday MorningArt Of AlmostI MightIATTBYH>One WingYou Are My FaceLaminated Cat (electric arrangement)Black MoonSide With The SeedsBorn AloneOn and On and OnImpossible GermanyCapitol CityHandshake DrugsHeavy Metal DrummerI'm The Man Who Loves YouBox Full Of LettersWar On WarDawned On MeA Shot in the Arm----------------------------------Whole LoveCalifornia StarsThe Late GreatsStanding O (started and restarted due to Jeff breaking a string)I'm A Wheel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lukestar Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 That's a great setlist. (As I literally began typing that previous sentence, Tweedy's cover of A Simple Twist Of Fate began playing on our local NPR affiliated radio station. Thank you Scott Regan.)

gogo Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Hey, blogger from this post, you know who else doesn't dance? People with really comfy seats who didn't get the memo about not using their phones/cameras. I saw people texting during the show, LOTS of pictures being taken, and at least one video (about 30 seconds of One Sunday Morning, for some reason). But until we were goaded into it, 99.7% of the crowd sat through the first hour-and-a-half of the show. So, still not seeing the connection between having a phone out and really getting into the show... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Holdin on to black metal Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Jesus etc was also on the printed setlist, right after I'm the Man Who Love You, but my guess is Tweedy axed it in order to keep people on their feet, dancing, etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pnêyu Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Oh, how I wish that had been a (taller, thinner, more sober) Doug Benson in the audience. I would've had a shit head for him! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
