WILCO!!!!!!!!!

Courtesy of Wilcoworld.net

just got back from an infuckingcredible Wilco show. it's my 6th overall, and the good wife's 7th. let's see, '95 Lexington Kentucky Theater, '99 Louisville Headliners, '02 Bloomington, IN Axis, '03 Lexington UK, '05 Cincinnati Taft, '06 Louisville Iroquois Ampitheater. of these, the '99 show and this '06 were easily the best. in fact, this might have been good enough to put in my top-5 shows of allfreakintime. just AMAZING!!!!! above all, sonically they were at a peak. Nels Cline was just going OFF on the damn axe, just OFF! the rest of the band was tight, loud and playful. i also like the 3 or so new songs they played. in a day or two i'll download a setlist and update the highlights. WOW! was a great experience. and Iroquois Ampitheater really stood out as a great venue. it was renovated a couple years ago and serves almost exclusively as a home for musical theater productions. its big, wood-hewn roof and woodwork provided a really rich and comfortable atmosphere for a show, and the outdoor nature allowed for A- smokers to smoke elsewhere and B- cool air to keep everything fresh. check out the pics page for I.A. for a feel.

too bad i have to go to bed, don't have a setlist, and can't quite put into words what a fun experience that was. wish i could do it again tomorrow!! instead, i get to sit in a tile room for 7 hrs. and talk to pissy parents. oh well. gotta pay the bills somehow. BUT an excellent way to spend a weekend.
