Dude, get your priorities straight! :grin: Seriously, these setlists are not tempting you to change your mind? C'mon!

yeah, its scary there! I saw many shows there in the 80s and never had any problems, though. OC is not known for its cool factor, is it?

Have not been to SD in 10 years. Meeting a friend there who is a huge Yankee fan, and I am a Padre fan. No desire to see Dylan, the one Wilco set I heard was from this tour was so so. I don't want to spend that $$ to sit in the sun all day for 70 minute MMJ set. REMEMBER THE WILTERN!! Got a bit spoiled.
I'll give it a shot here too.
Anyone have an extra pit or lower 100 floating around?

imo it's overly white, conservative and filled with law enforcement looking to squash anything that doesn't fit into that agenda.
it was always surreal to exit a mindblowing Phish show with an altered head and see a wall of police standing there waiting for you.
parking is a nightmare there too. Get there early.
Any pre-show plans? Stealth drinking in the parking lot? We will be in the pit. Where are you all gonna be?
there's also a fair share of bro's who get rowdy at shows there but i dont think it should be too bad at this one. Just your usual drank too much/smoked too much few
Bummed i'm not going to make it but i'm just not that interested in the other artists
have a good show folks :beer:
We'll miss ya, garden party. The SoCal Jacket forum crew is small enough, but its gonna be real small for this one. :cry:

Here's hoping your call of Bobby being around plays out, and you get a Dead cover with him, and MMJ. :cool: :beer:
It would be pretty fun if a full version of Cobra popped up during this tour...
That would be par for the course (or lack thereof) on this wild adventure of random songs popping up in setlists.
Just thought I'd put that out there for the universe to deliver to Jim's brain... Let's boogie to Cobra in Irvine!!!
...Meanwhile in a more realistic world - we gotta get The Bear tomorrow right? Didn't pop up over the 3 night run at The Wiltern... we're due, right?
My other semi-realistic pick is Where To Begin. Didn't show up during The Wiltern run, definitely fits the "Americanarama" theme of the show...

j-did you find a ticket? i don't have anything that low but if you're looking i have an extra in the 200's that is respectable.
and danimal: i like the way you think! COBRA!

Agreed on Cobra... Told people after the JJ Chris Funk Staring contest in Newport- my joke sign was going to be "You Owe me- Cobra!". Here's hoping we get JJ dance moves Cobra style! and if I could ever figure out how to post a pic or video below you would see a great PC cobra clip ...

As usual, Vespa got it. Also, Nancy Sinatra came out and sang These Boots Are Made For Walking with Wilco. Thanks, for the updates, Vespa!
I forgot-they cut Mahgheeta, but Cinnabon Girl was played by Wilco according to their set list.
Is that Jackson as in......Jackson Browne???

Yes. The guys were so good. But, the guests really made the show special.
Taylor Goldsmith (from Dawes) duetted beautifully on "Wonderful."
Jackson Browne on "Late For the Sky" was fantastic, but I thought "Tonight I'll Be Staying Here With You" (also with JB) was off the charts. How ballsy was it to play a Bob Dylan cover while opening for the man? Then, "Don't Do It" was excellent.
Nancy Sinatra joined Wilco which was kitschy fun. Various members from RB's band and MMJ played on California Stars (JB butchered a verse, FYI), Casino Queen and Jim and Carl sang "Cinnamon Girl" with Wilco. The highlight for me from Wilco's set was a nice, fiddle-laden version of Uncle Tupelo's "New Madrid," one of my favorite songs.
I had given up on seeing Bob this decade, but it was fun to watch him from the pit. Then, of course we got "The Weight" with Jeff Tweedy, Jim James and Ryan Bingham. Definitely a highlight for me after 30+ years of seeing shows.
This tour has been a treasure for the fans.
Don't Do It was REALLY ripping and for me it was probably the highlight of Jacket's set. I'm a moderate Jackson Browne fan, but when he came out and played Late For The Sky, I was so happy, tears of joy. Carl and Jim both took very tasteful and beautifully restrained solos and Jackson was clearly loving having a band that good behind him. MMJ showed themselves to be even more versatile by doing the 70s singer/songwriter thing.
Also Jim did the Hard Rain Rolling Thunder Revue version of Tonight I'll Be Staying Here with those specific lyric changes and having the violin out there. I think it so cool that when they do covers, they are often covering a particular version from some album you can tell they've listened to alot. It was the best played Dylan song of the night, that is for sure.
Wilco's set was stunning, they were just deep deep in a groove, like a freight train barreling down the tracks, on fucking fire and unstoppable. I've seen them like that before but this show really stood out for me. New Madrid, like cre618 said (is that Bill that we were talking to?) was brilliant. California Stars was powerful for a simple folky sing along tune, Wilco and the guests made it really swing. Cinnamon Girl was as epic and killer as Don't Do It had been earlier. The Band, Dylan, Neil, the heaviest hitters being paid homage in a loving way. And then Casino Queen was Wilco becoming The Rolling Stones circa 1972 and just rocking the shit out off it, unfuckingbelievably good. I was in heaven!
Jim was hilarious in wishing everyone a good morning, but he meant it when he said we are all in this together. It was a great great show!
Looks like you guys got an amazing show last night, Shug. Great collabs, and I'm sure it was amazing to see. :beer:
"We're all in this together". :thumbsup:
This was Jim's response to me in the hotel bar in Asbury when I thanked him for helping out by Jacket headlining the show. :cool:
Sounds like this was a seriously awesome show! How many more surprises can they keep pulling out?!
"Tonight I'll Be Staying Here With You" is such an underrated tune. These setlists -- SOMEHOW -- just keep getting better.
I wish these shows were taped for a future video release. But I will settle for some sweet, sweet boots. Make it happen MMJ/Wilco!
What a seriously incredible show.
I'm still in shock that Jackson Browne came out and did Late For The Sky. It's one of my very favorite songs by anyone and it was absolute magic to see it played with MMJ as the backing band.
Tonight I'll Be Staying Here With You and Don't Do It were also excellent.
The Wilcos were on fire, indeed! I have seen them play 11 times and still saw 3 songs last night that I hadn't seen played live before - not including the covers. These Boots Were Made For Walking was super fun, but the real treat during that bit of the show was seeing Nancy Sinatra sing Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down) with Nels and Glenn. Nels tone and playing on that tune was spot on and superb.
Being a St. Louis native, I was incredibly happy to see a Wilco show in California that included Jeff's trifecta of awesome songs that reference our shared hometown - New Madrid, Heavy Metal Drummer and Casino Queen (as mentioned above - a particularly blistering version! Loved the fiddle solo! - also killer fiddle playing by Richard Bowden on Forget The Flowers)
While MMJ stuck to their newer material, pulling mostly from Z and Circuital - it was really cool to see Wilco pull mainly from their earlier albums for this show - lots of YHF, Being There, and Mermaid Ave with some AM and Summerteeth sprinkled on top (and a little Whole Love to add some modern psychedelic flavor).
All around, just an incredible and unique concert experience from both of these bands that I love so much. Cinnamon Girl featuring everyone that could fit on-stage was so good. All the moments of special guest/collaboration just looked like intense amounts of fun were being had on the stage. It really was like a musical party.
It was fun to see Bob Dylan, even if he's not that great anymore. At least he seemed to be having a good time and his band was excellent. I really enjoyed the version of All Along The Watchtower. Having Jeff, Jim and RB come out for The Weight was just the cherry on top of a ridiculous night of music.
That sounds like such an awesome set list! I wanna hear Don't Do It. Must have been so great to see.

He did that in Atlanta too. Like 4 times. It was a little bizarre.

From what I can tell, he did it the entire tour. He must have been amused by it or he didn't really want to come up with any off the cuff stage banter or he didn't really enjoy playing in the daylight. Who knows with Jim.
