Wilco

Bird888

WILCO played the first night of 5 consecutive shows in Chicago last night. No opening act and played 32 songs. They've announced that they will cover every song they ever recorded during their 5 night stand. Played a bunch of rarities last night.

How cool is that!


Love to experience something like that with PJ

You gotta love the spirit of some of these jam-bands. They really go all out and always stretch their limits.

kewl!

I would NOT call Wilco a jam-band.

I would and do, however, call them among the elite live bands currently making music.

Kudos to them for the residency gigs in Chicago. I enjoy Pearl Jam more than Wilco, but PJ would do well to borrow a few tricks from Wilco's business model.

I've seen Wilco about six times in the past three years. Pearl Jam I've seen eight times (zero times in the last three and 1/2 yrs). This is mostly due to Wilco touring Florida and the South extensively.

With all those concert experiences, I say Wilco is every bit as good as Pearl Jam in a live setting. These residency shows are a great way to showcase their abilities to their fans (in their own hometown, no less).

for sure!

i have a bunch of live wilco boots... tweedy sounds great live!

and as far as them "jamming", its just the right amount... nothing overboard like some bands out there... but they know when to extend a good part in a song... and im lucky to be in chicago so i can see em the next time theyre in town... which is alot

I've been fortunate to see Wilco 5 times the last two years and every time it was GA and I stood front and center at the stage. Those shows were all incredible. I guess thats what it feels for the long time 10C members who get great seats for the PJ shows. I love both bands live but I've been fortunate to experience in such intimate settings. I did get to see PJ at the Vic but couldn't get anywhere near the stage. Still a great experience though.

oh how i love wilco.

I was drinking in Downtown Belleville last night and one of Jay Farrar's brothers was at the bar drinking. He was a one time UNCLE TUPELO member.

Kinda Random, but thought I would share.

Was it Wade? I've seen a DVD of a Primitives show and it's hard to believe that guy is Jay's brother! Even as a teenager Jay didn't have much stage presence (though I'm not complaining - I love his music).

And I really wish I lived in Chicago right now. I've only had the chance to experience Wilco once in person so far, but it was so much fun. They've surpassed Pearl Jam as my favorite band in recent years. I'd kill to see just one of the residency shows.

If any of you know anyone with 2 extras for the Philly show, PLEASE send me a PM. We totally spaced out about the onsale, and tix were gone in just a couple of minutes. When I logged on an hour after they went up, I couldn't believe it!

This stuff has been sick. I wish i could be there.

It reminds me a little of what PJ did in Boston during there three night stand.

I wonder if Jeff would dare to play a couple old uncle tupelo songs or bust out a neutral milk hotel or neil young cover with the full band on the last night?

were you there? my gf went and she said after my darling, the lights came on and the venue music kicked in and everybody started filing out. she said in the whole time it took her to cheer, figure they weren't coming back, see the lights go on, hear the music, and file slowly to the door, she never heard one more note of music. she was shocked to hear reports that they played those last 2 songs... was it a 10 minute encore break?

I wish iwas there i'm jealous your gf was there.

I'm just pulling setlist from the shows so others can see how incrediably awesome this band is.

I listened to the radio last night and one of the announcers talked about how they came back out even after the lights were on etc so it did happen.

Last night i think Nels Cline's guitar was about to catch on fire. That is the only way i can think of for him to make the sound he did during Handshake drugs.

This band is all sorts of awesome.

I won tix off the local radio station to the night 1 at the 9:30 club in DC... Can't wait. This will be my first time seeing Wilco.
