choo-choo-charlie Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 It was a tremendous show! My second at CrossroadsKC and sixth overall. (10th if you count Tweedy solo shows) The band was super-tight and the sound was excellent. Loved hearing Secrets of the Sea and Panthers. Really glad the latter has made Its way into the rotation. The last six tunes were a great prgression from folk-rock to fist-pumping anthem rockers - a really well-done peak. And the acoustic encore was just icing on the cake. By far my favorite part of the show. The crowd, for the most part, was very attentive and respectful while the band unplugged and went full-on acoustic. Would love to see a longer set someday done in this style. As always, thanks for a great evening, Wilco! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bböp Posted July 16, 2015 Author Share Posted July 16, 2015 I just thank God you were there as Jeff's lyrics coach. He did seem to struggle with his lyrics a touch more than usual, but I blame it on the mugginess! And I think Jeff probably benefitted more from the "encouragers" up front than anything I was doing... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Passenger Sid Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Band maybe sounds as great as ever. Tweedy's voice as well. One Wing sounded good. I loved the treatment of Sunken Treasure, with the band slowly joining and doing so subtly. Panthers was nice to see/hear. I agree with charlie that I could go for a longer stretch of unplugged. They seemed to enjoy it, and it sounded fresh. Hesitating Beauty and Give Back The Key To My Heart sounded especially good. The Tupelo and Mermaid songs lend themselves greatly to this style. Imagine Fatal Wound, Airline To Heaven, Blood Of The Lamb or Someday Some Morning acoustically. Okay, just wishful thinking (speaking of, that'd be nice as well).

M. (hristine Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 MChris is a Wilco fluffer? It was far too humid for any fluffing. The sweat was dripping in huge sparkling drips from Jeff's fret hand. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jesus don't cry Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Does anyone know where a download of this show is? that bluegrass encore was so incredible i need to hear it again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
