Wilco -- 08/19/12, Lowlands Festival, Biddinghuizen, Netherlands


Recommended Posts

WOW!! Sorry for those who missed this one, as it was streamed live via youtube~ It was a much longer show today than yesterday's streamed online "festival" set from Belgium, & it was truly brilliant, as usual. I think they had close to 2 hours to play with...and chose to barrel through with only one encore & max. out as best they could with 25 songs. A usual full show, as of late, has been 27 songs and 2 & 1/4 hours long. They did 16 out of the 17 songs they did yesterday ("Misunderstood" is the only one done in Belgium, but not tonight), as well as 9 different additional song tonight ("Via Chicago", "One Wing", "Bull Black Nova", "Side With The Seeds", "Wishful Thinking", "Say You Miss Me", "I'm Always In Love", "The Late Greats", "I'm A Wheel")...

Very moody, "ruminative" first half there. VC to open, Seeds, Wishful Thinking (!), Radio Cure, Miss Me...THAT"S the Wilco I really dig.

Wow, nice set. Any show that opens with Via Chicago would make my head explode. Awesome!

 

I still maintain that my very favorite Wilco show was 10/13/2007 at CrossroadsKC -- a show that opened with Via Chicago and included four songs from A.M in what I considered to be a very well-balanced setlist. It's also one of the best live recordings out there.

Via Chicago opener was pretty common in the late 1990s, or at least on the 1999 tour. Not so much these days. Make me nostalgic for my first show....
