I'd bet on a fair amount of those being performed, but the real question - Sunloathe, come on guys, play it!! 

Ha!!! I keep waiting for the first full band go 'round with that one too. I've even requested it before (obviously to no avail), & did so for these gigs too!! Still two nights to go, & they've done a couple of others for the first time live!!!

 

And, for the record, I think there's loads of great material still left that they haven't played yet. I know they aren't looking to make sure that they hit every song they've recorded, but I'm betting that- 1) They'll get pretty close to playing them all, or at least a large majority of them & 2) they are, clearly, so far at least, making a pretty big effort to offer almost no repeats...or if they repeat they are being done in a different way (electric vs. acoustic arrangement etc.)...and with roughly 60 song slots still open, there's plenty of love & music to go around yet!!

I am doing my damnedest to get Fake Plastic Trees for the 12th.

 

I did that for the first night (via obsessive/internet poll illegal level of ballot box stuffing) to no avail. Fake Plastic Trees is hands down my favorite song of all time and I got to hear Jeff do it at a solo show back in 2009. Could you imagine Nels doing Jonny's lead on that song?! My head would explode. Best of luck!

I know. This would be a real treat to hear. I add those same sentiments in my "dedication" request. Fingers crossed!

No offense, but I've never understood wanting to see them play other popular one off covers. I've been going to the Tweedy solo benefit shows every year and I always get annoyed when people request stuff like Radiohead, Zeppelin, Beatles, etc instead of a sweet Wilco/Tweedy song. It's not like they don't have a huge back catalogue to choose from!

What I could muster so far that's left:

 

Casino Queen

Pick Up the Change

I Thought I Held You

That's Not the Issue

Should've Been in Love

Far Far Away

We're Just Friends

My Darling

In a Future Age

Someone Else's Song

Sunloathe

Black moon

Open mind

capitol city

rising red lung

hoodoo voodoo

 

Get's iffy with stuff like outtakes, uncle tupelo & from mermaid ave.

Man they are going to have to make an effort NOT to do every song in the regular catalog. With roughly 60 open spots left in these last two shows...after double checking, you were pretty much right on here...counting some (not all) Mermaid Ave. sessions were looking at only about 27 songs to go.

 

So they could play everything & still have a full shows (33 or so slots) worth of material to either go out there & repeat whatever they want, play covers, do the different version of something (acoustic vs. electric), play yet more rarities/oddities ("Alpha Mike Foxtrot" & beyond type of material)..

Agreed. I honestly thought that solid sound covers set was a huge letdown

Even though Jeff made it clear the other night that playing every song wasn't what was promised. Personally, I think the plan all along has probably been to play most everything. My thought is that they didn't want to do "the same thing" as last residency, officially anyway. Plus, if they miss one or two, Jeff won't have to hear people complain. A lot of the duplicated songs this time are being played in different format like the "mini show" at 2nd encore which is very cool. The shows have been great and it's always fun to here some of the rarities. Unfortunately I won't make tonight's show as I had to come home for a day but looking forward to last show on Friday! So... everyone have fun tonight but I'm hoping it's not the best show!

But it's OK if it's a pretty, pretty, pretty good one, right? See you Friday!

If my count is right, Wilco has played 110 different songs with only seven repeats. Not bad at all with two more nights to go!

Which songs were repeats? And were they all repeated as different arrangements?

 

Also...I think when they played all the songs they did it playing the albums in their entirety, front to back as complete albums... but I'm not positive about that, so if anyone else wants to chime in on that...

 

And finally, weighing in for the record...I absolutely adore when they do covers & was totally beyond thrilled at the all-covers show at Solid Sound. I honestly REALLY REALLY wish that would become a Solid Sound tradition where they work up a whole first night of covers!!!! It also adds a whole lot of songs to already large arsenal, that they can pull out. They utilized those covers plenty, & to great effect, on the AmericanaramA tour that can after the Solid Sound covers night.

They did not play the albums front to back or within the same evening during the Winter Residency.

This is correct. There was lots of overlap last residency and this one Jeff announced would not include every cut from every album.  I am sure there are a few he just doesn't care to play at all anymore.

I'm beyond ecstatic to know these will be hitting the Roadcase, but I can't help but think they should REALLY do something more proper for these shows.  Maybe add a CD option.  I know I would buy a 12-18 disc set in a heartbeat if it was done halfway decent.
