The Inside of Outside Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 All of Wilco came out w/ MMJ for Isn't It A Pity Cool! I love that song. I am so glad that Wilco is playing with the other artists on the bill - Weir, MMJ, RT. I wonder if the folks at Jones Beach will get to see Beck join Wilco? I hope Dylan joins in the fun, but I continue to have my doubts about it happening on this tour. I suppose he has already had his fun, sacking Duke and bringing back Charlie Sexton.

Mr. Heartbreak Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 I hope Dylan joins in the fun, but I continue to have my doubts about it happening on this tour. Nah, he needs to keep everyone else backstage. I've got 5 bucks riding on this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mpolak21 Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Isn't It a Pity was mind blowing. Jeff and John came out w/guitars. Mike sat in with the keyboard player and Nels, Mike and Pat played percussion. They went full Concert for Bangladesh on our asses. The opening few songs and the SBS tunes really clicked with me tonight. Sloth with Richard Thompson was an absolute blinder too. There were some complaints about the sound in the very front rows. Jeff even addressed it at one point people kept asking for them to turn it up. I was in the front of the middle, and it sounded fine to me. Nels was a little down in the mix and Mike was a little high, but it never bothered me all that much. If you are a big Richard Thompson fan and coming to a show later on the tour, just a heads up the Trio came out 15 minutes before the advertised start time (5:30). Lot of gravel in that voice of Dylan's, but there were a few songs "Duquense Whistle" "Tangled Up in Blue" that really clicked. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They rocked We were between Nels and Jeff, would have been nice to meet you, maybe next time? Isn't It A Pitty was worth the drive alone from Indy Volume banter: Male fan - "turn it up" Jeff - "your just deaf after MMJ" Female fan "turn it up" Jeff - "were not here to entertain you" "I'm not in control of the volume, we have a house guy for that, Stan has been with us for a long time" Richard Thompson was once again introduced by Jeff as "My new best friend". The smiles and grins between Nels and Richard Thompson were priceless. Their interplay was great. Jeff had a grin from ear to ear as well. It's also a nice moment for the rest of the band, you can tell they are very happy. Bob Dylan's band is really tight. The vocals really wern't bad, if you know the song's you can understand the lyrics. I second "Duquesne Whistle" as his best song of the night. Anyone that has the opportunity to go to two shows back to back within a couple hundred miles, I would suggest you take advantage of that. MMJ and Wilco as you have read are in the spirit of changing up their sets each night. The Richard Thompson and Wilco/MMJ colaboration opportunites are vast and who knows maybe a little further down the road Bobby Z may make a surprise appearance?

Mr. Heartbreak Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Thanks for the set lists and reviews, everybody. Having been to a couple of these, I can strongly second what ditty said: if you can go to one more, do it. My road trip to Atlanta from Tampa, while brutal, was well worth it. I'd do it again in a heartbeat. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
indy81 Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 The Dylan set is already posted on Dime, and the taper said he will post the other sets soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JayK Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 All of Wilco came out w/ MMJ for Isn't It A Pity Nels with the lap steel? It's what I'd do if I were Nels, and god willing, someday I will be. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Magnetized Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 I was planning to go to just Virginia Beach because it's such a luxury to actually have Wilco in MY town, but after reading all these setlists and hearing about the collaborations, I decided to add MPP the day before as well. Thanks to a Wilco friend with a couple of spares, we were able to get great seats in the second row, center section. (I already had pit tickets for Va. Beach.) Really excited now for both days. The only downside is we get Ryan Bingham for both shows--I don't know his music well, but I LOVE Richard Thompson. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rusty Shackleford Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Maybe a stupid question, but did they play "Red Eyed and Blue," or just go straight into "I Got You"? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yacovfb Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Maybe a stupid question, but did they play "Red Eyed and Blue," or just go straight into "I Got You"?They went right into I Got You. Took me a bit by surprise as I don't think I've ever heard live before without Red Eyed and Blue preceeding it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Heartbreak Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 They did that in Tampa too. It was great. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Magnetized Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 And of course also at Solid Sound. A first for me too, without Red-Eyed and Blue to lead in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mpolak21 Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Nels with the lap steel? It's what I'd do if I were Nels, and god willing, someday I will be.Sadly no. MMJ had a steel guitar where Pat sat during the song but to my eyes/ears he was only playing tambourine/shakers. Nels and Glenn were with MMJ's drummer and played extra percussion for the song.

mpolak21 Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 ditty, yeah, sorry I missed you. I forgot to check VC before I got there and was having some connectivity problems w/my iPhone during the set. I was only able to swing one show this tour but I'm sure I'll be catching them in Cincy, Pittsburgh, DC, or Lord willing Morgantown again sometime soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MarkyMark77 Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 "Isn't It a Pity" was the chill-inducing highlight for me. Seriously was hoping for an MMJ George Harrison cover, but never dreamed all of Wilco would join. And it sounded perfect. The Wilco set was cool because it started slow. I'm not sure how much people were into that, but I sure dug it. The different between MMJ fans and Wilco fans was on display: all of the MMJ fans seem to be 20-something neo-hippies, while the Wilco fans look like one-time rockers turned professionals in their thirties. There are exceptions, of course. I'd never seen MMJ, and they sounded great, but I've tried to get into them, and I just find the songwriting lacking for me. But they were seriously tight. Dylan was Dylan. The band was great, much better with Charlie back in the fold. I saw him in March, and it was clear that Duke wasn't really in the groove. A lot of wrong notes. I dare say the band was perfect, save for "Duquesne Whistle". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jff Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Sloth? That's utterly incredible. I've seen Richard Thompson a coupe times, and I don't get the impression that he plays that song very often, if ever. For those of you not very familiar with Richard or Fairport Convention, here is the original version: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MaimedbyR&R Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 First post on Via Chicago ... Saturday night was a really great show. I am a native to Cincinnati and a river fiend, so enjoyed the Americanarama's/river town/in-and-out vibe across all performances. I was in the lawn, but agreed with the semi-hecklers in the pavilion on the volume. I wish it was louder and, of course, the set list longer. Overall a seamless and thoughtful show with Wilco. I was so pleased they opened with Either Way and happy with Impossible Germany and it's inherent jam. It's kind of stock to say but I have to admit that California Stars was a highlight too. Looking forward into jumping into conversation on other threads! See ya. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
