Yeah, that was great. And when they opened w/ Sunken Treasure I could've left right then and been pretty satisfied.

This was a fantastic concert. Highlights for me included "At least that's what you said", "Handshake Drugs", "Airline to Heaven", and "Spiders (Kidsmoke)". If I'm not mistaken, this was the first Wilco show to include "Impossible Germany", which is cool if it's true.

This was a very energetic set with a high level of quality. SKY BLUE SKY material sounded great and it was nice to hear so much YANKEE HOTEL FOXTROT material.

Highlights for me included "Side with the Seeds", "Kamera", "Too Far Apart" and the always-inspired one-two punch of "Red-Eyed and Blue" and "I Got You (At the End of the Century)".

I thought that the performance was really good but that the audience was totally bizarre. There were enough people in my section leaving during the encores for me to tell that it may not have been a 100%-fans show.

Highlights for me included "Casino Queen", "I Shall Be Released", "Sunken Treasure", and "Company In My Back".

was a great show...terrible jokes make jeff endearing =). he didn't even make mention that his birthday was the next day (today). anyway, can anyone clue me in to the name of the song that had the harsh, abrupt drum and guitar blaring to interrupt the nice slow rock melody?

one of the most beautiful versions of handshake drugs I've heard. crowd was getting down! other songs... don't remember all of them or in what order: california stars, spiders, jesus, I'm the man who loves you, hummingbird, hate it here, impossible germany, I am trying to break your heart, via chicago, walken

I hope someone recorded it.

wish the set was longer or they could have done an encore. the crowd wanted it and probably 75% of the people there skipped jack johnson and left right after wilco's set. they should have headlined.

The incredible acoustics at the "opera house" made this one sweet show...especially after all those outdoor venues.

Awesome if short cap on a long weekend of good music.
They filled the venue to capacity & most people were singing, unlike Radiohead on Friday where a lot of people thought Hand of Rock & cellphone waving were the way to go.
Drawback to not headlining: short show
Advantage: 30,000 people audibly singing "Company in My Back" - plenty of dudes with flannel & ballcaps (myself included) trying to make it look like it was dust in the air that was making their eyes water, especially during "California Stars" and "I'm the Man who Loves You" as closers.

First show since last August at the Greek in Berkeley.
Damn, I need to see them more.
I loves me my Wilco.

Yeah I wondered about the Summerteeth -- I didnt remember that song. I was going off of what the tribune writer said cause I didnt write it down. I wished I could have been there for the sound check. I've seen some good concerts but this one takes the cake. If I could I would follow them around the world.

My first concert ever (Wilco or otherwise). Three encores?? A twelve-minute version of "Spiders"?? Incredible.

I'd agree... Out of the six Wilco shows I've seen in six years, this may very well have been my favorite. Thanks for the set list and photos, guys!

certainly helped that security left their posts once the show started. didn't matter as wilco crowds are fairly well-behaved
