Saw WILCO last night at an AMAZING venue
« on: 17 Jul 2006, 06:54 pm »
So I was lucky to catch Wilco last night at Look Park in Northhampton MA right near Smith College.  As usual Tweedy and the boys put on an absolutly jawdropping show. I must say though this may have been the best venue I have seen a show at in my 400+ concerts. It is a nice grassy slope(not too steep) with a small stage about 50X50 setup. Surrounded by pines so no bad refections.They let people bring chairs and blankets in the top 3/4 and the front was standing room only which was where I was. The weather did not hurt either though :thumb:
I will say I think Wilco is the tightest most polished band I have ever seem. Even the chaotic parts of the music fall together so perfectly. I will see them every time I get a chance.

I wanted so badly to see them last night but my wife had to work.   :cry:

I have seen Wilco a few times and they do put on a killer show.  My only gripe is that they don't play enough of their early songs and nothing usually from the Uncle Tupelo days.

yeah i don't think they played anything off A.M. and no Tupelo stuff. They did play two Woody Guthrie songs from one of those albums which was sweet.

Kingpin is on the second cd from "Being There".
