Pretty insane set list last night. The band was super tight and sounded great.
Was not disappointed by the assortment of deep cuts:

Pretty sure that was the first time I've heard "If I Ever Was a Child" live. It was so good. They were playing freaking DEEP cuts from the Mermaid Ave. albums... we got 2 deep cuts from Mermaid Ave. Vol 2, lol.
But the highlight for me was "Bird Without a Tail / Base of My Skull." I hadn't much got into the "Cruel Country" songs but holy hell. That's has to become a new Wilco concert staple. The played it to close the first set and it was just incredible. They extended the jam in the middle of the song to maybe 5-7 minutes and man... it was so great. It's instantly a top 5-10 Wilco song to see live.... up there with like Via Chicago, Shot in the Arm, Spiders (Kidsmoke), etc.
It'll be interesting to see what we get tonight. They didn't play anything off Summerteeth last night so I'm assuming we'll get a good dose of that... also probably a bit more from The Whole Love I imagine... hopefully Art of Almost will be in there.
