    Saw them last night in Burlington, VT. Great performance. Crowd was absolutely terrible. Got to the theatre and found out I had front row seats. Me and another fellow were the only ones in front to stand up! I was asked to sit down twice! What's up Burlington!?

    I read on the Wilco board that there was an announcement after the opener that there was to be no standing, no dancing, and no blocking of the aisles. Seems crazy to me. Dancing was only permitted in the far back. Luckily tonight is GA so there will be no stopping us from standing up.

    If you remember, what time did they start/end? Thanks!

    ^^ That sounds fucked up. What is the reasoning behind that?? Why wouldn't Wilco want the crowd to be demonstrative?

    No idea, and yeah, it's fucked up. It's not like this is a solo/acoustic show. One guy said he stood as long as he could but was continuously asked to sit. Said it felt like a recital more than a rock show.

    And setlist FM has them only at 23 songs. That could certainly be incomplete, but they did 31 the night before. Weird.

    They started at 9 on the dot. Jeff made numerous comments about the lame crowd. I remember the announcement and just thinking " that can't be serious". What a joke.

    Looks like they updated the setlist to a full set of 32 songs. That is so odd i've been to about 10 wilco shows before and i've never heard of that before

    The no standing/dancing thing was at the band's request or was it the venue/security telling you this?

    It had to be a venue thing. The band seemed to be perplexed by it right of the bat. I mean, I'm telling you the lights went down and they hit the stage and you had a huge chunk who didn't even get up for that. How do you sit down for Impossible Germany, I'm the Man Who Loves You, Handshake Drugs,The Late Greats, Kamera (which is absolutely sick now). I could go on. It was a sad sight.

    When I seen them in 2011 the audience stayed seated til the closing song. It was an old opera house, but it still surprised me.

    Was it Kamera or Camera (Camera being the "distortionized" version)?

    Oh didn't know they changed the spelling. Definitely the fuzzed out heavy version. Amazing.

    I've only heard Camera live once and it was awesome. Hope to hear it again this year.

    Had a great time seeing Wilco perform @ Bull Moose and again at the State Theatre in Portland that night. Can't believe I was standing right beside the band in the store for their acoustic set. Long time fan, but first time seeing them live. Even got their latest album signed by the whole band. They seem like a bunch of great guys. It was also cool to meet fellow 10c jammer Jervin007 while waiting in line at the store!
