bböp Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 Just catching up on some housekeeping duties here, since I had to sit this one out. I don't expect anyone on here to have attended this show in an extremely tertiary market, but if anyone did and feels like chiming in, please do. I mainly am wondering if Jeff had anything to say about the band's last appearance (I'm pretty sure) in Springfield. When I saw the southwestern Missouri city on the list of tour stops for this "August Evening With..." run, my first thought was that it only took about 20 years for the band to get back there after one of the most infamous incidents in Wilco concert history happened at the Shrine Mosque back in October 2006. I wasn't at that show either, but obviously when Jeff takes a swing at a stage crasher and it makes national news, that's a pretty noteworthy gig. Now Jeff is in a much different place than he was in 2006, and I have no idea if the Gillioz Theatre has anything in common with the Shrine Mosque, but I can't imagine that wild night from nearly two decades ago didn't at least cross Jeff's mind when he was on stage tonight... Here was the complete setlist, as played, according to the Wilcoworld authorities (as usual, they don't delineate where the set breaks occurred, so I'm relying on setlist.fm and some educated guesses about arrangements and such to fill in those details): Set 1 Story To Tell Handshake Drugs I Am Trying To Break Your Heart If I Ever Was A Child Cruel Country Forget The Flowers Evicted Spiders (Kidsmoke) (acoustic arrangement) Bird Without A Tail/Base Of My Skull You And I Hesitating Beauty Hummingbird Via Chicago Love Is Everywhere (Beware) Quiet Amplifier It's Just That Simple Falling Apart (Right Now) Set 2 The Late Greats Theologians Side With The Seeds Whole Love Box Full Of Letters Annihilation Sunken Treasure (acoustic arrangement; Jeff on acoustic with no harmonica) Either Way Impossible Germany Jesus, etc. Heavy Metal Drummer I'm The Man Who Loves You --------------------------------------------- California Stars Hate It Here Walken I Got You (At The End Of The Century) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
