Wilco — 9/29/15, Austin, TX (Waterloo Records)

[bböp]

So this was the surprise acoustic in-store performance at the venerable Waterloo Records, and it was cool to hear Jeff reminisce about playing one of Wilco's earliest-ever shows at Waterloo (and naming the exact date: March 18, 1995); about Uncle Tupelo recording Give Back The Key To My Heart with Doug Sahm not far away from where they were standing; and about discovering Daniel Johnston through Waterloo in the early 1990s and buying all of Johnston's cassettes, which Jeff said he still has.

 

All in all, it was a pretty generous and intimate 35-minute performance before about 275 or so who had all purchased (or re-purchased) Star Wars and/or the Random Name Generator single. And amazingly, the store somehow managed to get 90 copies of the (black) vinyl before anyone else; there was mention that even the band was seeing the LP package for the first time.

 

The only minus for me was the person who continued to somewhat loudly price tag merchandise while the band was playing. C'mon man!

 

Anyway, here was the complete setlist as played:

 

Misunderstood

Random Name Generator

The Joke Explained

War On War

Bull Black Nova

It's Just That Simple

Give Back The Key To My Heart [Doug Sahm]

A Shot in the Arm

True Love Will Find You In The End [Daniel Johnston]

Does anyone know if there's an opener tonight at Stubb's, and what time Wilco might go on?

Opener is William Tyler; he should play from 7:30-8 and Wilco will probably be on by about 8:20 or so, if I had to guess.

Just for the record, I found out Stubb's has a hard curfew of 10:30 on weeknights. So I was a bit off on my projected set times. Now figure William Tyler 7-7:30, Wilco 8-10:30. Sorry.
