Who's going to Wilco next Thursday? (2 Viewers)

[Jill Hives]

Worst Wilco gig I have ever been to, without a doubt. I should have known better because I pretty much gave up listening to Jeff after the duds on Foxtrot. The mix between Frampton and Crosby Still & Nash they have going on now is just awful. The first encore felt like the longest 10 minutes of my life but I had to wait it out because I know they always do an extended encore or come out a few more times.

The last few songs were the best of the entire gig but I couldn't shake the feeling that I was in the movie Ghost World and at the club watching Blues Hammer. It'll be class when they break up and come back and play shows like Sebadoh where they stick to one album. Being There start to finish...that would be a good show.


By the way, Hugh...we did switch tickets, right? Got there and handed them Thursday tickets but they let us in anyway. You had Thursday tickets all along, dude. If he plays via Chicago, Far Far Away or Passenger Side tonight, your gang and my gang are going to rumble.

'Impossible Germany' was my highlight. I thought Nels Cline was gonna rupture an internal organ with that wig-out. Quality.

Christ, that was awful.

I don't think I've ever been at a show where there was such a clear demarcation between 'BAD new stuff' and 'GOOD old stuff'. The only blurred lines are in the 'A Ghost Is Born' songs where they are starting to veer towards BAD but are still GOOD enough to pass muster.
Horrible protracted guitar solo hell.

I loved the second encore, and was delighted after 4 or 5 songs when Pot Kettle Black got a run out. That's my fave.

Agree with Hayworth.

And there was me thinking I couldn't enjoy it cos I was locked. They weren't great at all. Never much rapport etc.

I think a lot of people have bought their dads or uncles the latest Wilco album, judging by those in attendance.

Were we at the same gig?! That was absolutely outstanding from start to finish. Roll on tonight.

You people are fucking crackers. That was stupidly good. Jesus, it felt like I was at The Last Waltz at times and I'm not even a big fan.

What kind of patronising superior nonesense is that? What difference does it make how old the crowd were?

You people really are proper nuts. The first encore was some of the best live music I have ever seen. Nels Cline is a joy to watch.

I suppose I just hate all the masturbatory guitar bits they do all the time now. I miss Uncle Tupelo and early Wilco. Heavy Mental Drummer was the death of Wilco for me. I kinda knew it but I loved them for so long I had to give a chance. I am just glad I got to see them as much as I did before they turned (in my opinion) crap.

I was trying really hard to enjoy it but I was surrounded by annoying people, which never helps. I think I am filled with too much rage lately because I really just wanted to kick everyone talking and using their mobiles. Maybe I should take a kickboxing class or something before I just freak out one day.

I must be on drugs, i'm agreeing with Vinnie

Top gig. I'm going back for more tonight. And I'm bringing my great-grandchildren with me, you ageist pricks

Oh my God ... I am complete fucking idiot. I obviously swapped you my Thursday ones instead of my Wednesday ones. Which means I have two Wednesday ones sitting at home. Spa. It's okay though, as by a bizzare chain of events I ended up with more tickets than I needed anyway .... phew.

Ha! It was an observation, that's all. No need to go on the warpath, granddad.

 

[Vinnie]

Edit: Corn On the Cob is nice

 

[mark]

why would you go to a gig by a band like wilco and moan about how much early stuff the didn't play?

i loved that gig.

 

[hugh]

What time did they actually start at?

Well do you get to go? I was filled with guilt through out the gig thinking I gave you the receipt of the tickets by accident and I would go home and find Wednesday tickets in my other bag. It is the first thing I did when I go home and was so relieved. I was thinking I was going to have to call Vicar Street and bring them the receipt for you because they kept the Thursday tickets I gave them to sell today. The doorman looked at me like I was an idiot because I was there on the wrong night.

 

[Vinnie]

Do I have to be old to think you're talking complete bollocks? I'll do a survey with my great grandparents and my grandkids and see what emerges. You're legally bound by the decision by the way.

i loved that gig.

I think they're dead right to play their new stuff. If they didn't, they'd basically be a covers band and could play the Red Cow with Smokie.
But I just don't like it. Can't I say that?

Do you wear your baseball cap reverseways?
