Jimmy Coulas Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I put together a list of six things that I would like to see over the course of the six shows. Regardless, these shows are going to kick some major ass! WISHFUL THINKING: Six wishes for Wilco’s Winterlude in Chicago Quote Link to post Share on other sites
opsopcopolis Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 That's a good list. Honestly the only thing I want (and probably won't get) is ELT on 12/12 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
smells like flowers Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 That's a good list. Honestly the only thing I want (and probably won't get) is ELT on 12/12Just requested it for you-- fingers crossed! I love ELT too and I don't think I've heard it live. I won't be at any of these shows, but hope you get your wish. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
opsopcopolis Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Thanks! It would make my holiday season! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Yaz Rock Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Nice writeup, and thanks for sharing. RE "and “Red-Eyed and Blue > I Got You (At the End of the Century) to close a show.:Around the first few times I saw Wilco and began collecting bootlegs this was actually a triple combo, Red Eyed > I Got You > Someone Else's Song. Still to this day that's how my brain expects those tunes to appear in a show. However, I thought it kicked ass that they opened with I Got You at SS 2013. I hope they come up with some great stuff for all of you in Chicago! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Muzzle of Dan Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Yes to the electric arrangement of Spiders. It's time to bring it back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
worldrecordplayer Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 However, I thought it kicked ass that they opened with I Got You at SS 2013.! It did. Almost as much as opening with Boys Are Back in Town the previous night! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Madcap Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 was thinking about this last night...if they do 30 songs a night, is it even possible for them to do no repeats without just getting into completely obscure random covers? I think with all of their proper studio tracks and their Mermaid Ave contributions that's about 120 songs, so they'd still need close to 60 b-sides, covers, etc. Would be awesome to see them try though!

worldrecordplayer Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Yes. I see you Got your Spiders electric arrangement tonight. Or as @phortin says, " fuck yes". Looking forward to hearing it. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tstrapac Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 We kind of have 4 of the 6 so far..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carleiu Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Just wanting to put out there that Jeff did clarify tonight that they never said that there wouldn't be any repeats or that they were going to play every song they recorded and/or put on an album. That said, the show tonight kicked some major ass. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That said, the show tonight kicked some major ass. Although he never said that (don't know if I read anywhere that anyone said he did) that's what some folks were hoping for...whatever we get will be amazing...it already has been. It'll most likely be pretty few repeats, & most of the recorded catalog with a nice helping of oddities/rarities/cover versions/acoustic & electric different arrangements of particular songs etc., etc. . These 20th Anniversary Roadcase releases from the Port Chester, NY & Chicago Winterlude runs/residencies are truly something special indeed.My next great hope is that they break with tradition & do all 3 days of Solid Sound...or at least 2 Wilco shows & then a Tweedy/Jeff Tweedy show!!

Mr. Heartbreak Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 2 Wilco shows & then a Tweedy/Jeff Tweedy show!!This is exactly what I am hoping will happen at SS, since I have not had a chance to see the Tweedy solo material in any venue (or, for that matter, any Jeff solo show).

theashtraysays Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 That has turned out to be a rather prophetic list. Glad you're able to see a lot of this come true.Now that we're halfway through, and since I'm only going to night 5 and 6, here's my half-a-list of"3 Wishes for Winterlude, But Please Don't Do Any of Them on Night 4" 1. Andrew Bird, especially for Muzzle of Bees and for a balls-out version of Dreamer in my Dreams2. Repeats are actually OK, specifically electric Spiders, Bull Black Nova, and Dark Neon3.

nalafej Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 You needn't worry about Bird tonight as he's playing LA. Unfortunately I believe he lives out there now (Thanks Jeff Garlin podcast for filling me in) so the chances seems slim for Thu/Fri?? I'd love to see Leroy come out or Coomer. Glenn made a comment during his OTSOF residency that he is a fan of Ken's work - maybe that helps open up the possibility. Any chance of the Blisters doing Just a Kid w/ the band? Edit: Looks like Leroy has gigs Thu/Fri so it would have to happen tonight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

WISHFUL THINKING: Six wishes for Wilco’s Winterlude in Chicago uhfr just posted in "After The Show" for the 4th night of Winterlude talking about making a comp CD-R of all the acoustic encores... between the Port Chester shows & the Winterlude run that should be pretty much a virtual live unplugged Wilco show!!! One of your wishes I believe it was #5... that makes only part of #3 & #2 left out there & let's see how much of "Being There" gets done...it might not be a straight run through, but you might manage the virtual version, like with the acoustic show that just happen to unfold over 9 shows...

deceasedlavy Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Seriously, people would want an all acoustic show? Why? Good God, that is about the only thing that could make me walk away disappointed. I suppose you're the people who just wanna sit there through the whole show, too? Naturally I could only swing one show of the residency so I suppose since they've played almost all their songs already this is exactly what's gonna happen tomorrow night. Argh. I'll never understand this fanbase. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The acoustic songs are nice sprinkled in, but at a live show I really want the rockers. Hope you get sum tomorrow! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'll never understand this fanbase.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 another person's post (mus2009) here...counting some (not all) Mermaid Ave. sessions were looking at only about 27 songs to go that haven't been played yet. But there's plenty of great songs left to go!!!! And... They could easily play everything they haven't & 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).. So they could spend half a show picking off what they haven't done yet (and there's plenty of prime real estate left there) & you'd still get half a shows worth of the best known & most likely to be repeated material, other arrangements of stuff done before, covers & oddities. I don't think there's much to worry about as far as there being great shows. There are plenty of choice cuts still out there...From the earliest works- especially "Casino Queen", "I Thought I Held You", "That's Not The Issue" & "Far Far Away"...from their mid-period "In A Future Age", "We're Just Friends", "My Darling" & "Reservations"...and the most ample choice material from the later era- "Sky Blue Sky" & "Please Be Patient With Me", but I think the most prime real estate that's left comes from their latest two albums- all 3 remaining unplayed songs left from "Wilco (the Album)"- "Solitaire", "Sonny Feeling" & "Everlasting Everything", and all 5 songs left from "The Whole Love"- "Black Moon", "Open Mind", "Capitol City", "Rising Red Lung" & the one song from their regular catalog that they've yet to do live as a full band, the elusive & great "Sunloathe". The other choice material still out there is a trio of well loved, & often performed songs from the "Mermaid Ave." albums- "Hoodoo Voodoo", "Christ For President" & "Remember The Mountain Bed". And there's still material from the those sessions that came out in the box set (my fave being "When The Roses Bloom Again") & as I mentioned before plenty of other oddities & rarities to choose from. "A.M."

The Inside of Outside Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 It was matter of time before someone jumped in and figured out the above. Thank goodness for VCers like linclink! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
linclink Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 It was matter of time before someone jumped in and figured out the above. Thank goodness for VCers like linclink!Most all of the credit should go to the poster here known as mus2009, who did it first, before me, in another thread here "Winterlude at the Riv 12/5, 12/6, 12/8, 12/9, 12/11 and 12/12"I do confess to double checking myself & discovering only the extra couple of oft played "Mermaid Ave." sessions as having been missed... I have to admit I thought that that person must have missed som moree, so I did a quick rock stat nerd cross reference (thanks setlists.fm!) & found that they got it right!! Not a lot of material to go now...hope they actually do end up doing them all (despite what Jeff said the other night)...they're so close with so much room left to do it...

deceasedlavy Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Honestly, I was being rhetorical; I'm sure it'll be a great show. Heck, even if they do an all acoustic set I'll probably enjoy it. Of course I don't think an all-covers set or something else gimmicky is out of the realm of possibility. Just saying, from that list, you've got potential improv/firepower in like two songs? Maybe I'm alone on this, but I couldn't care less whether they play anything from A.M. or the Mermaid Avenue sessions. Those songs are all fine and good but I don't get much out of that material live. The prospect of acoustic versions of stuff they've already played does nothing for me, either. Every show of the run so far has looked amazing on paper. I guess the sad fact is they've already played every song I go bonkers for, and that's a long list. So count me on the hoping-for-repeats team. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
