Winterlude at the Riv 12/5, 12/6, 12/8, 12/9, 12/11 and 12/12

[Diddle]

What's a CD?

[choo-choo-charlie]

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.

 

I would too. An official box set...though I doubt it with What's Your 20 and AMF out.

 

What's a CD?

 

Small, round, flat object containing data, usually music, played in a car or through a stereo system. Worn-out CDs make for great coasters and mini frisbees.

What's a CD?

That's what my kids (mid-20's) say to me.

[worldrecordplayer]

What is wrong with a few one off covers? I think it shakes it up a bit and is fun. 

I love seeing bands that I love play covers.  The choice in songs speaks to me about them as musicians, and people.  There's millions of songs written that don't get played, why not have a band you like to see play some of them? 

 

And as for SS '13, I've read here comments of several folks who were disappointed with the all cover Friday night show.  I don't know what to say about that, as that night was one of the most fun nights of live music I've had in decades of seeing shows.

2nd that. I'd been hoping for one of my favorite bands to do an all-covers show for years. Covers, an all-acoustic show, an album show - Wilco could do any of those things, announced or unannounced, and I'd be ecstatic. 

 

[lost highway]

I liked when they covered Thunderclap Newman, "Something In the Air" at Red Rocks some ten years ago.

One of my other favorite bands has done it and I thought it was awesome, but I just didn't enjoy the selection of Wilco's cover set. Probably largely because Wilco is really the only band towards this scene of music that I listen to, so all but about 6-7 of the songs were entirely lost on me.  Left that show more let down than almost any other concert experience I had ever had.  Went it totally expecting an awesome show of rare Wilco songs per request though

[Yaz Rock]

Yeah, I can hear ya on that... many songs were new to me too (Would you believe I never even heard Get Lucky before?) But there was enough stuff that I knew that they nailed, and some stuff I was totally hoping for. So it had a little bit of everything, and I liked that combination most of all. I know they never expressly said it would be covers, so it was open to interpretation. Night 2 ended up as the night of Wilco requests. But I guess there just wasn't enough ballot-stuffing for Sunloathe, or Blasting Fonda, or anything really rare

[opsopcopolis]

Yeeah.. Could only make one night and chose that one. Oh well! I thoroughly enjoyed pretty much every classic rock cover (especially And Your Bird Can Sing x2)

[linclink]

 

I did some setlist data crunching.

 

So far 120 songs have been played...and only 10 songs have repeated (although in different formats each time)

 

Art of Almost - album version (Night 2) and hootenanny (Night 1)

[Yaz Rock]

Joe DiMaggio Done It Again has been a request of mine at every NY show. I can't believe they didn't even do it at Cooperstown.

[choo-choo-charlie]

These stats are interesting and all, but where do y'all find the time to do this? Bored at work?

[mus2009]

 Ha indeed, slow morning.

[remphish1]

HA they can certainly pull it off..that would be one heck of a night 6 setlist!

[linclink]

I was at Cooperstown myself, & I can't believe I didn't think of that!!!! While I root for the Mets & Red Sox before the Yankees, the Yanks are my 3rd fave & one of the folks I was there with was a huge Yankees fan & now I can't believe he didn't think of it!!! I believe that one was a Guthrie-Bragg song that Tweedy sang, but still... Next time for sure!! I'll get a few folks & we'll stuff the ballot box with you!!

Sounds like a plan! I thought for sure they'd bust it out after talking about going to the Hall of Fame and seeing a bunch of broken bats, LOL.

It wasn't a slow morning either, it was a busy night...did it all on breaks from paperwork, quite late at night my acupuncture office actually (my other breaks were playing guitar- and for you stats junkies last night was all acoustic run for me with a rare maple Martin J-65- I usually use more than one guitar...OK unplugged Telecaster for maybe 10 minutes too ), & it was pretty quick & easy to compile actually. Two other posters here did the main legwork/heavy lifting on, first, what hadn't been done yet from the standard officially released albums, which was done by mus2009, & then what ones had been repeated but with different versions & what night, & how they were done, which was compiled by mdjr.

 

All I did was add that Night 5 info to their previous legwork & then put down the outright repeats from Night 5 (first night that had occured), tossed together the hootenanny sets in one place (someone elsewhere had the idea of making a CD-R of those for a virtual Wilco acoustic-unplugged album), & then the most involved I guess, & it was pretty easy, was when I combed the old set lists to compile the non-album tracks they'd played (19 & counting). It really wasn't that much work & it didn't take that long.

 

Not having it take that long means that I got to spend lots my breaks playing plenty of guitar, & I can get you my full set list from last night too . About an equal mix of originals & covers & no electric plugged in, since I've got a solo acoustic slot coming up in January, & I did some work on some stuff that I've started working on with a female vocalist who I'm rehearsing with tonight in fact.

 

In regards to the repeats I read a hilarious bit of dialogue from the "After The Show" thread on last night- again from mdjr (who kindly compiled what different versions of songs had been done & when & how etc.)

"Best Jeff banter of the night:

 

After Panthers..."So that was a repeat....but was it the same? You don't know....Glenn played with a casual detachment. Nels used a thinner pick, Pat was thinking about Xmas. Mike is a robot he's always thinking the same thing. (Mimes robot). He's the only one we can program to do things the same. You ever been to Chuckee Cheese? That's where we got him. He could only play the banjo back then"

[theashtraysays]

After careful statistical analysis of the songs played and not played, the following 12 songs (along with 18 "repeats" or "modified versions") are most likely to be played tonight:

 

That's Not The Issue
Far Far Away
Was I In Your Dreams
Sky Blue Sky
Sonny Feeling
Sunloathe
Capitol City
Rising Red Lung

Let Me Come Home
Any Major Dude Will Tell You
Student Loan Stereo
Unlikely Japan
 

[Shug]

Dream covers for me: Wilco rocking the fuck out on One Hundred Years From Now and then soothing my soul with Glad and Sorry.

and then of course Dash 7....ha

[nalafej]

They did Solitaire last summer. I'm hoping for that one tonight. In addition to Sunloathe.

[theashtraysays]

and then of course Dash 7....ha

yes, that would be a very welcome repeat. 

 

as would Bull Black Nova.  They seem to be staying right on the printed setlists, so I guess bringing the sign back out would be pretty pointless. 

[mus2009]

I hadn't heard them play Bull Black Nova in a few years before Saturday night, god that song is so awesome live

[Madcap]

Was looking through the prior Wilco20 setlists and we haven't gotten these songs that were played: Promising, When The Roses Bloom Again, Far Far Away, Was I In Your Dreams, Solitaire and Blood of the Lamb.  Would also like to see Christ for President and an electric New Madrid tonight.  Can't believe tonight is the last show.  I did Milwaukee/all of Chicago and I could do another few shows next week for sure.

[jw harding]

I'd be down with the return of Tomorrow Never Knows. They jammed the shit out of that.
