Wow I’m jealous! I have attended this series before and never saw anyone performing! It’s a great series saw Courtney Barnett and Stereophonics before. Hopefully Nels joins tonight’s show too!

If they want to bring out "Solitaire", please! Absolutely one of the highlights of Wilco (The Album).

Really liking "White Wooden Cross".

These sound like solo songs.

These sound like solo songs.

 

I know, I couldn't even hear Glenn or Pat's parts during the performance.

The timing and the sound of Nels glass slide hitting the floor was perfect - glad a mic picked it up.

There were some real interesting non-Ode to Joy tidbits in this interview:

-Wilco (The Album) was created to address an existential crisis that the band didn't have enough "rockers." 

-Nels really enjoys the quiet songs such as "Solitaire", "When the Roses Bloom Again", and "One By One." 

-He also loves "Kicking Television" because of course he does, he makes that song.

-Jeff pushes back against setlist diversity and lesser known tracks because it is emotionally difficult for him to watch the audience go to the bathroom. 

"I do not have the fortitude to endure that every night."

I loved those tidbits. And surprising that we got those as I was not wowed by the interviewer's questioning skills.

Bums me about the setlist push back! I long for the lessor known tracks

[Muzzle of Dan]

Empty Corner is really cool.

 

White Wooden Cross is also very good.

 

I'm pretty excited for this record.

That's what I loved about the original Chicago residency and Winterlude, so much variety, so many deep cuts!  I was hoping that the relative lack of diversity in 2017 was an aberration, but that doesn't appear to be the case unfortunately.  Hopefully the three Mexico shows will at least be repeat-free!
