bböp Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 After their scheduled outdoor show at Avondale Brewing Company 10 days ago was tabled by “impending severe weather that includes lightning,” Jeff and Co. circled back to Birmingham and — due to the chance of more inclement conditions — moved inside for the makeup date. Obviously that created a different dynamic for the show than otherwise would have occurred, so I’d be interested to hear about how this Monday gig went… Here was the complete setlist, as played, according to the Wilcoworld wonks: Company In My Back Evicted Handshake Drugs Muzzle Of Bees I Am Trying To Break Your Heart If I Ever Was A Child Meant To Be War On War Quiet Amplifier Hummingbird Bird Without A Tail/Base Of My Skull Via Chicago You Are My Face Whole Love Impossible Germany Love Is Everywhere (Beware) Jesus, etc. Box Full Of Letters Annihilation Heavy Metal Drummer I’m The Man Who Loves You ———————————————— California Stars Falling Apart (Right Now) Walken Monday Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SarahC Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 The banter last night was very very minimal. Jeff didn’t say much except for the standard things he’s been saying most shows -artistic growth joke between Box Full of Letters and Annihilation. -coming to the end of the show “I just mean in general” he did point of a guy in a PBR shirt and asked him where he’d seen him before. Turns out it was the Ryman. the venue was fine, I think an outdoor show would have probably been better for the crowd because the talking mixed with the acoustics of the concert hall was a bit much at times. The chatter was noticeable between songs. I will say personally, this show was probably my least favorite of the 4 we’ve seen because I had trouble with my ticket and at a GA show that’s a worst nightmare. The staff was not great on resolving the issue, and I think that kinda left a sour taste in my mouth for the rest of the night. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
theashtraysays Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 The guy in the PBR shirt…. I was right behind him at that Ryman show. He was noticed by Jeff and was actually awarded the “best behaved fan” trophy that night. I forget his name but the whole crowd started chanting it at one point. At the end of the show, I was chatting with him a bit. I had bought a poster at that show (a Hatch print which quickly sold out). He noticed the poster and said “I’ll trade you this trophy for that poster”. To which I replied “well buddy, you’re not gonna believe this… but I already have one. And our club meeting are the first Thursday of each month.” Glad to hear he’s still out and about. 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And those "best behaved" trophies are probably more limited than that Hatch poster! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Only maybe a couple dozen trophies, maybe 150 posters, however given their elusiveness, I wouldn’t trade the Hatch Print either. We missed night 1 in 2011, and it took close to 12 years to find one.

SarahC Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Oh! I remembered another bit of banter from the show. Jeff said he figured a lot of musicals have happened in the concert hall, and said next time they’d bring Wilco(the musical) through town and gave a clearly unenthused “Yay!” 😆 then said something about how Hummingbird is as close to a show tune as they have. I almost asked “what about Capital City?” But didn’t want to be mistaken for a request shouter… using the proper channels via the site works better anyway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
