Wilco — 13 August 2025, Springfield, MO (Gillioz Theatre)


Recommended Posts

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):
