Here comes the joker
with his silly grin
he carries a martini
made of bathtub gin

Wendy's on the windowsill
Waiting to be let in
And were all in the bathtub now

"Music is a spiritual expression of what's in your heart. Music as a way of getting rich is a pretty new thing, and I often wonder if the mega-bucks glitzy atmosphere is making the quality of music suffer. You have to work really hard to get around that and remember why you're in it in the first place: because you have to be. It's like an addiction. You can't go a day without picking up your guitar. To me, the only commercial goals that are really valid are, 'Boy, I wish I didn't have to go to work. I wish I could do this all the time."

wilco @ auditorium theatre (9-20-2003)

posted 7:41 PM by Anonymous

i caught wilco at chicago's auditorium theatre last night. one word: solid.

the band played two sold out nights to a hometown crowd at auditorium theatre to conclude their two year "yankee hotel foxtrot" tour. the venue was magnificent! it reminded me of radio city music hall to some degree. seats were reserved which was different from past wilco shows i've attended. the atmosphere was very different as well. the band usually plays the riviera theatre which is smaller, allows smoking and is general admission. last night's show felt more formal and upscale.

regardless, the band greeted the audience wearing suits and ties and played 2+ hours of material. they sounded tight and the acoustics were stellar. after 3 encores jeff tweedy thanked their crew, fans and announced they will be taking a break until election time.

setlist:
Misunderstood / How To Fight Loneliness / Handshake Drugs / She's a Jar / Remember the Mountain Bed / Magazine Called Sunset / I'm Always In Love / At Least That's What You Said / Pieholden Suite / Box Full of Letters / Kingpin / I'm the Man Who Loves You / Poor Places / Reservations / War On War / Cars Can't Escape / Kicking Television //
Encore 1: I Am Trying To Break Your Heart / Pot Kettle Black / Jesus, etc. //
Encore 2: Late Greats / Airline To Heaven / California Stars / Forget the Flowers / New Madrid / Hoodoo Voodoo / Casino Queen / Monday / We've Been Had / Say You Miss Me
