janzin Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 fantastic show. On at exactly 8:15 off at 10:30 (which is the cut-off for all Celebrate Brooklyn shows.) Soaked but happy, great crowd! I'm sure someone will post the setlist soon. Goin' back tomorrow night--Jeff promised to play mostly different songs Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bronxmetsfan Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 The set list from Setlist.fm, which looks accurate as far as I can tell: Dawned On Me War On War I Might I Am Trying to Break Your Heart Muzzle of Bees Born Alone You Are My Face Impossible Germany Sunken Treasure I'm Always In Love Jesus, Etc. Handshake Drugs Whole Love Box Full Of Letters Hate It Here Heavy Metal Drummer I'm the Man Who Loves You A Shot in the Arm Encore:Poor Places Art Of Almost Standing O California Stars Encore 2:The Late Greats Red-Eyed and Blue >I Got You Outta Mind (Outta Sight) I'm A Wheel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JAK2112 Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 What a great show! Second Encore was just on fire all the way through, the rain (and occasional lightning) really helped i think. Sunken Treasure was a real treat, it's incredible that this was my 14th Wilco show, and still everytime they find a way to play a song i've never heard before! And Impossible Germany was the best rendition i can remember. It was just grooving really hard, and Nels' solo was in top form, i literally don't think i've seen them do that song better than they did tonight. Notable Banter: Jeff noted that this show smelled more like bacon than any show they'd play before. He was right, it had to do with the food vendors there, and at one point between songs he started singing a song called "Bacon Rain". He also made sure the rain wasn't causing anybody to chafe, and asked if anybody needed gold bond in the crowd. All in all fantastic show, and can't wait to see what they do tomorrow (jeff noted there won't be very many repeats, "we'll only play the songs we really want to play twice").

-seven Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 I'll be there tonight. I'm hoping to hear the acoustic version of Spiders and also Laminated Cat and neither were on this set list so there is HOPE!The weather looks like clear skies too. Yay! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Robby Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Even if he's wearing that weird hat and jacket, its nice to see Jeff also wearing the Wilco Spinach t-shirt. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
remphish1 Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 I really love Wilco, really do but I think they need to cut back on the Yankee songs..Every show since 2001 has at least what 4-6 Yankee songs every night? Hope I am not alone out there? I think in a few Yankees songs place play some more off Whole Love... Sunloathe, Open Mind, Capital City! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
billydee Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Can anyone that was at the show last night please comment on things like- how long the lines were getting in, what the sound was like on the lawn, did they see any mics in the air (tapers), etc... thanks much!

JAK2112 Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 The lines were pretty long gettin in, but it moved really quickly and only took about 5 minutes (I got there during lee fields, around 7:20). The sound was pretty damn good near thr front, not ear blasting loud which is always great. Can't vouch for how it sounded farther back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bronxmetsfan Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 As for tapers, there's a user in another thread here that said he/she taped the show and would be able to share it. Hopefully Wilco will give both nights the full release treatment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I would be so bummed if they didn't give it much love...unless maybe they were playing more ST or BT songs in their place. I think YHF was near the top of multiple "Best of the Decade" for a reason.If anything, I'd be more psyched to hear YHF songs that don't get played as often anymore: Reservations, Kamera, and Pot Kettle Black in particular. When they broke out PKB in St. Augustine, I was like "Yesssssss!!!" Quote Link to post Share on other sites

EatMorePez Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Here's a review of the show and some great photos on Brooklyn Vegan: http://bit.ly/NPKDoC The review not only references Via Chicago, but also this very thread. (I'm creating a vicious circle here.) Some commenters then get into a hilarious/juvenile/ridiculous argument about Via Chicago. BTW, has anyone on this board ever actually used the word "amazeballs" to describe a Wilco show? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

smells like flowers Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Those comments in the Vegan review are great. A very pleasant discussion. So, all those people that were hating on Wilco bought tickets and went to the show? I really don't understand. Were they being sarcastic? I'm serious -- why were they there? Why go to a show if you are too cool for the band? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
worldrecordplayer Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 love the photos in that Brooklyn Vegan piece. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
uncool2pillow Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Those comments in the Vegan review are great. A very pleasant discussion. That was a pretty entertaining 2 minutes. Here's a link to my favorite. http://www.brooklynvegan.com/archives/2012/07/wilco_lee_field.html#comment-937498 Admittedly, a large percentage of the commenters there probably aren't Vegan, but I always did picture Vegans as a little less high strung than many of the comments indicate.

Guess I'm a naive, small-town girl who doesn't get Brooklyn hipster-ese. Still, those NY bastards were lucky enough to get Muzzle of Bees (which I've been requesting like an m-f'er, to no avail, for the past 5 shows I've attended). They should have been more grateful!

Hope I am not alone out there? I think in a few Yankees songs place play some more off Whole Love... Sunloathe, Open Mind, Capital City!I love all their albums & don't have much of a dog in this fight...'cept to say that I wish they'd play more, of late, off of my second fave "Wilco (The Album)". Being that "The Whole Love" is my fave I'd love to hear those you mentioned..."Open Mind" is one I'd love to hear & I believe that "Sunloathe" is only one they haven't tried a band version of...someone else here mentioned that Jeff has done a solo version of that, but man I'd love to hear a Wilco live take on it!!I also remember reading something Jeff said about the "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot" songs working really well with "The Whole Loe" songs, & that that was why they might do more of YHF this tour, because it fit so well with TWL & since they'd be doing lots of that to support the new release, it made sense to him to do songs in the back catalog that felt the most complimentary...or somethign to that effect.

linclink Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 I couldn't be more blown away! That trio of NYC shows is something that I hope will be a precedent. Like the five they did last December in Chicago. I hope these are half as much fun for them as they are for the die-hard faithful, & I hope it continues...words fail, so I'll let the list of songs they performed do the talking...I count 63 different songs (with some performed more than once, but not that many)...let me know if I missed any, miscounted or otherwise messed up & I'll jump in & edit & correct it... but otherwise, here, appears to be that list... "I could spend three nights, and sixty-three songs, on a Riot 'O Rock 'n' Roll yeah, of ultimate Wilco-ness!"
