cracked & hooked Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Waiting with baited breath to see if they are still playing the album straight through on this stretch of the tour. Hoping like hell for it on Sunday night in New Haven! And probably Tuesday and/or Wednesday in Portchester, knowing me... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

remphish1 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 I am seeing both Brooklyn shows and I don't care if they play it straight through both nights the album is short enough. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skyscraping Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 How great was that? Just wanted to bump the thread to say how tight "Star Wars" is sounding this time around. Saw them in New Haven, CT this past Sunday (1/31) and I was floored. "Taste the Ceiling" sounded so lush. "You Satellite"'s nuances have evolved immensely."Cold Slope" into "King of You"... has got to be my favorite moment of the new material. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cracked & hooked Posted February 3, 2016 Author Share Posted February 3, 2016 How great?! Sooooo great. We were late to New Haven, came in on You Satellite, had to navigate to find a decent spot, and just never really caught up. Sooooo glad I went to Portchester last night, on a whim. Such a unique and incredible experience to hear the entire album played so enthusiastically. Felt raw, fresh and intense. I was just grinning and laughing, as I did the first time I heard the album. So blissed out with the lights and the energy and noise. It's my favorite Wilco sound/material. Yay! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
worldrecordplayer Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Sorry if I'm repeating myself (I've posted this elsewhere). When I walked into the State Theater last Wednesday at 7:00 p.m. I was really looking forward to hearing SW played in full for the first time, but I didn't think I'd want to hear it in full 3 straight shows. By the time I walked out of the State at 11:30 that night, I could not wait to hear it again and again at the two Orpheum shows. Absolutely astonishing to me all 3 times. If I was seeing another show this tour, I'd welcome another chance to hear it in full. That's my $.02. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nalafej Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 So...Do we think the next headlining show (currently scheduled for June 1 in Charleston, WV) will start with Star Wars? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Magnetized Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 So...Do we think the next headlining show (currently scheduled for June 1 in Charleston, WV) will start with Star Wars?50/50 chance, I'd say. If I had to guess, I'd say no. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
remphish1 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 I say no too.. My thoughts are they will open with EKG>More then go into other things.. I feel like Random Name Generator, Joke Explained, Cold Slope and Magnetized will be the regulars in the set in my opinion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
A heart I know by heart Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 King of You has to stay around too... love that tune Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hixter Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 I'd expect them to play the entire album in markets where they haven't already done so. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Oil Can Boyd Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Diverting the thread a bit here but while I was watching them play Star Wars all the way through at the Orpheum in Boston a couple of weeks ago, it reminded me that I had seen two other bands play albums straight through at the Orpheum: Lou Reed playing New York and Husker Du playing Warehouse.

I was at that Lou/New York show. That was great. Somehow I missed the HD/Warehouse show. Pretty sure I saw the Allmans do Eat A Peach at their last Orpheum run, a little fuzzy on that.
