Wilco — 14 September 2022, Morrison, CO (Red Rocks Amphitheatre)

[bböp]

Wilco’s 10th time playing the venerable Red Rocks Amphitheatre (I researched that!) and it was a solid show, complete with the requisite guest turn from support act Margo Price in the encore.

 

Will add to this as time permits, but as Jeff has been exhorting on this tour (and for a long time, actually), “don’t postpone happiness.”

 

For now, here was the complete setlist as played (didn’t get a look at the printed list, so can’t say if there were any changes/omissions):

 

Handshake Drugs

I Am My Mother

Cruel Country

I Am Trying To Break Your Heart

Hints

War On War

If I Ever Was A Child

Via Chicago>
Many Worlds (coda only)

At Least That’s What You Said

Story To Tell

Hummingbird

All Across The World

Bird Without A Tail/Base Of My Skull

Jesus, etc.

Margo was the 'artist at large' at the Sacred Rose fest --- she sat in on a few when Jeff and Nels were playing in Phil's band - but not on U.S. Blues.

Fitting that the show included U.S. Blues at the site of many historic GD shows. However inadvertent that may have been.

I would give my left arm (and I'm left-handed) to hear Spiders(Kidsmoke) live again. Always on my wishlist.

Suppose this is nothing compared with Bbop's history of queuing.

Solid outing. It was interesting for the devoted Denverite to see Wilco 3 years ago, indoors, heavy into Ode to Joy, then outdoors with a very different vibe at RR.

 

My friend and I both stopped 30 seconds into US Blues wondering "What song is this?!". 30 minutes later us in the car on Spotify, "Yep. It's the Dead." I prefer the Wilco version

Not to mention the ever practical Dauphin of Diapers.

But who's got the "Queue Commences Here" sign? #EarlyFreaks
