Wilco (The Review)


My first Wilco show was all i hoped it would be. Sure, there was a few songs i wanted to hear that didn't make an appearance (Poor Places, Side With The Seeds, You Are my Face, Ashes of American Flags, Via Chicago...), but the setlist as it stands, really doesn't have many holes. That first Encore is an amazing one-two punch. Hoodoo Voodoo was a lot of fun. A Shot in the Arm was as good live as I'd hoped. The new songs sounded great, especially One Wing and Bull Black Nova.

Dad liked the show a lot. He kept saying they were not what he expected, and he was impressed by how good the melodies were in the song. He also enjoyed being close enough to see the hands of guitar players. I enjoyed that as well. 3rd row was a nice spot for our first Wilco show.
