Wilco — 7 August 2025, Cleveland Heights, OH (Cain Park Evans Amphitheater)


Recommended Posts

Once again, unfortunately, I had to sit this one out so I'm just doing the usual housekeeping here. Would be interested to hear reports from anyone who might have attended in person. I guess it was a big night for outdoor shows in the Cleveland area as I believe the very popular young jazz-pop singer Laufey also performed a sold-out show with the Cleveland Orchestra at Blossom Music Center in Cuyahoga Falls. Not sure if the audiences for the two shows would have much overlap (though I, for one, am a fan of both), but if anything, I bet it brought the average age at the Wilco show even higher than it usually is...lol.

 

Also, Wilco kept touting the "first-ever Wilco aftershow" featuring a local band called Napsack at the Grog Shop that was free for WIlco ticketholders. Did anyone by chance make it to that gig? If so, please chime in. According to that band's post on social media, "Wilco is perhaps our collective favorite band ever. We watched them absolutely rip it for 3 hours, then rushed over to play our little set. It felt a little like seeing the London Philharmonic, then being handed a kazoo and told to do your best. We did our best!"

 

Here was Wilco's complete setlist, as played (thanks to the folks at Wilcoworld, though they as usual don't specify where the set break was and so I'm using setlist.fm and a couple of educated guesses on arrangements and such):
