bböp Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 I'm not in Italia, much to my chagrin, but noticed that Wilco HQ posted this on Wilcoworld (and tweeted a link to such). So I'm just cross-posting here, though I sort of doubt there will be many comments. But anyone who was there, or can offer some insight about the gig...by all means, chime in! The setlist, as posted on Wilcoworld (I assume it's accurate, though I can't personally verify): One Sunday Morning (Song For Jane Smiley's Boyfriend)Poor PlacesArt Of AlmostI MightAt Least That's What You SaidHandshake DrugsWishful ThinkingImpossible GermanyBorn AloneVia ChicagoWhole LoveTheologiansJesus, etc.Hate It HereHeavy Metal DrummerI'm The Man Who Loves You---------------------------------Dawned On MeThe Late GreatsCalifornia StarsWalkenHummingbirdA Shot in the Arm---------------------------------Outtasite (Outta Mind)I'm A Wheel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Albert Tatlock Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 http://www.sherwood.it/articolo/2076/wilco-live-report Via Google Translate;- I 've slept on. Yes, because the last report I have always written straight off, returned home after the concert. But this time I decided to decant at least a few hours. One night, in fact. And the effect is not so different. Not at all. Jeff Tweedy and company have not lived up to expectations, and Padua, the first of three concerts by Wilco in the "Bel Paese", was a success. It could not be so, but you should have seen the faces of those who came from the Teatro Geox to understand. Joy and contentment.Two hours to play great. In seven on stage, equipped with a series of lamps lamp shade, such as those commonly seen in the bedrooms. A solution that had already found the Blonde Redhead a few years ago. For the rest, warm lighting, red and blue.All quite essential, because the protagonist is music. And that sound, indeed!Punctually open the set that are 21 and 30. It starts with the great One Sunday Morning (Song for Jane Smiley's Boyfriend). One of the best songs of the last work, The Whole Love.About ten minutes in which a repeated guitar riff trigger piano and keyboards, with the battery seems to not want to interfere. A song that makes you realize how these guys from Chicago are eager to go their way freely, but at the same time as they have learned the lessons of the masters of American folkpsychedelic rock. A song in the best tradition of Yo La Tengo, to give a practical example. The first may have been able to create endless plots and at the same combine the ability to create perfect pop songs (no offense.) For three minutes. In this particular passage where there are all those elements that make a song special. The text, which describes the relationship between father and son. A track where there is the difficulty of being understood between people of different ages. A song touching and exciting, where you really understand that with them, to Wilco, we grew up we also public that we emozioniamo carpendone the nuances. We all sat down, but will not last long. The time you end up performing Art, third song of the evening, and the people are all in walking distance. The atmosphere is really beautiful. The group will be in ugly. Between keyboards, organs, guitars of all kinds, and a myriad of tools that appear and disappear for the time of a song.When the time comes At least that's what you said the majority of those present recognized the first notes. Part almost lo-fi (as it seems this ancient term) as the beginning of the concert. But then an explosion of guitars. How many love songs have been written? But only a few can really describe certain moments in an effective and non-obvious. The text is consumed immediately, it is essential and raw. It 'a separation you speak. And the guitars take over just about everything, are softened by a melancholy organ cheimpreziosisce every moment. One of the highlights of the evening. The public likes and how.It was said of the organ. Yes, because during the execution of the legendaryImpossible Germany, one in which absolute protagonist is Nels Cline, guitarist superfine that gives life to the execution of one of the most anticipated pieces of all, the body breaks down. He tried to keep up with Cline, but it ran too fastIt 's time of Jesus Theologians and etc., Two songs which at the time did talk about for the texts that not all frowned upon. The bigots.Cline and Tweed not the only ones to show. It 's true that the first of embroidery, and double slide guitar, from the very idea of taking things awfully seriously. But a notation of credit also goes to Glenn Kotche, a drummer who does not miss a beat, and that you give to the public. More timid but tremendously skilled with their instruments, Jorgesen andSamson, who demonstrate to feel at ease with stringed instruments and with keyboards and piano.A full band, generous, and for two full hours gave an evening of great music. In the highest sense of the term. A thrilling final that motivates them to get out to offer further a. If so the Italian tour, is a triumph guaranteed. Think it was having trouble with some double negatives at the beginning there. As a Turkish person I once knew used to say e.g. "It's not lovely" instead of "Lovely isn't it". Anyway "The public likes and how". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bböp Posted October 11, 2012 Author Share Posted October 11, 2012 I love Google Translate. "The group will be in ugly." Sounds about right. "...two songs which at the time did talk about for the texts that not all frowned upon. The bigots." Indeed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
