Wilco — 23 February 2017, Chicago, IL (Chicago Theatre) [Night 2 of 4]


Recommended Posts

Agree with this. There were 13 repeats over the 1st two night's at last year's San Fran run. This is reality with the band these days. They are playing to bigger crowds who are paying more and seeing Wilco less and want to see the "hits". The fact that Wilco has been off the road and all live primarily in different states these days can't help...

 

 

The set lists have been fairly structured for over a year now. Whether it was the Star Wars tour, or now the Schmilco tour, I'd say the majority of the show is the same from night to night, with a handful or so different unes that get slotted in, almost on alternating nights. These first 2 shows are holding true to form.

Yep. From what I've seen on setlist.fm this is their standard format now. Just bums me out. I've been fortunate to see The Cure, Pearl Jam, and My Morning last couple of years really mix up setlists. It makes the investment going to the multiple shows worth it. You get to hear more variety. I was hoping that Wilco would do the same this time around. Guess not. Maybe I'll be surprised tonight.

Really? The crowd goes crazy for Being There material, I would fullly expect most of Summerteeth to get the same reaction and of course Via Chicago gets the biggest reaction of all.

Yeah and I heard a couple people yell out ELT on Thursday as well. Shame.
