I'm assuming this was a reference to the fact that the printed setlist included two encores, that looked like this: Via ChicagoCalifornia StarsKingpinThe Late GreatsI'm a Wheel WalkenMondayOuttasite (Outtamind) I'm the Man Who Loves You was supposed to close out the set. It was still a really good show, and I was particularly pleased to hear a couple of AM tracks. But its also a bit of letdown to know they had planned to play for a lot longer, but weren't allowed to. Fingers crossed tomorrow night they'll move the start time half an hour earlier so they can play two and a half hours if they want to. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
remphish1 Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Odd comment about Springsteen. I am sure Springsteen pays (or puts it in his contract) to extend the cerfew, no? nice that Shouldn't Be Ashamed is back! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BeShakey Posted March 27, 2013 Author Share Posted March 27, 2013 I think it was just that Jeff was annoyed that the couldn't extend the listed end time for the set. It kind of tied into some earlier comments he'd made about Springsteen (including that Pat had gone to the show the previous night). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

froggie Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 loved it even though i wasnt feeling that good!!. got to meet them all apart from jeff Quote Link to post Share on other sites
eckythump Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 I believe Hamer Hall has a curfew of 11pm on weeknights (or they just don't want to pay their staff any overtime), which was really unfortunate, that would have been a great double encore. In fairness to Springsteen, he started at 8pm and also finished at 11pm. Hopefully tonight they start earlier. Jeff's story about being blocked by police while going for a walk because they thought he was part of the Ellen crowd was hilarious, though I saw him mouth 'I just made that up' to Nels during Shouldn't Be Ashamed. Still, was a damn funny made up story! Great show though, 1 show down, 5 to go! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
suites Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 THE BOSS....cool....He is playing some great shows over there with Tom Morrello subbing for Little Stevie. Looks like this is the season for a lot of concerts in Australia...I saw others touring there right now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
suites Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Which Spiders? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
eckythump Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Acoustic arrangement of Spiders. I can't recall a time where there's been so many concerts on over summer in Melbourne. Our strong dollar must be helping things a lot. It's certainly not helping keep the cost of tickets down. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
eckythump Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Last night alone in Melbourne you had the choice of Wilco, Iggy Pop and the Stooges, Bruce Springsteen, and Bonnie Raitt and Mavis Staples. Paul Simon replaces Bruce at Rod Laver tonight. I can't recall a time we've been so spoilt for choice. Of course, Wilco takes precedence over all! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rock Pools Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 The music was fantastic last night, I can't wait for this evening. Loved Laminated Cat and Spiders, and Handshake Drugs always sounds wonderful live. We're closer to stage tonight ( 4 rows back ) - so excited!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BeShakey Posted March 28, 2013 Author Share Posted March 28, 2013 They're a pretty hirsuite band at the moment. Just need Pat to bring back his beard and encourage Glenn and Nels to join the party! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Magnetized Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Here's a link to a nice review from someone who doesn't sound like a diehard but obviously came away a fan. No need to point out all the name misspellings--it still seems heartfelt. http://vulturemagazine.com.au/gig-review-wilco-hamer-hall/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BeShakey Posted April 2, 2013 Author Share Posted April 2, 2013 I've put up a link to my recording of this (see link in sig). It's hard to get songs like One Sunday Morning to sound good without getting lots of distortion on stuff like A Shot in the Arm, but I think this is a decent balance. Hopefully people will enjoy it. If anyone wants the second night thats still at least a few days away from being ready. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
luminous Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Awesome that you do this, thanks.I'm not touching it until after I've seen the NZ shows but I appreciate it:) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
