Wilco / Anyone ?
« on: 8 Apr 2010, 12:24 pm »
Has anyone seen Wilco on this tour ? If so, how was it? I am going to see them Sunday evening  in a great theater in Pittsburgh (Carnegie,  in Oakland )
I'm pumped  :thumb:
I just read in the newspaper that they are doing 3 hour shows, with an acoustic set !! :drool:

I saw them on Tuesday here in Boston.  It was a very very good show.  They are playing very well (not that I have ever seen them play bad).  It was a total marathon set with the pre encore going ~2.75hrs and a 15min encore.  They played a wide range of stuff with at least one song from all their albums.  The "Acoustic set" was really good.  I would not really call it acoustic but "less electric".  John stilled played an electric bass for most of it and there were the two electric synths.  My highlight was from that part of the show.  They played "Laminated Cats" also known as "Not for the Season" from the first Loose Furs album and the YHF demo tapes.  Super cool and one of my favorite Tweedy tracks.  Other highlights were "Spiders (mellow)", "Theologian", "Casino Queen" but as usual they all rocked.  Nels is on fire as expected.  Confirmed why I don't miss them when they come to town.  One of the tightest tour bands today for sure.

They never disappoint, that's for sure.  I've seen them 4 times, the last time being this past October.  I had the pleasure of meeting everyone in the band, too (except Tweedy, damnit). 

Definitely a must see!

They do have an impressive show. I don't know about "never disappoint" but three out of four is not bad...

This is a pretty darned good recording, if I remember correctly, and the set list is pretty close to what I heard in Austin (Cedar Park) a night or two before.
