Review: Wilco at the Overture Center

With the exception of two arena shows at the U.I.C. Pavilion back in October to support Wilco (The Album), Wilco (The Band) hasn’t played a full show in the Chicagoland Area since the Riviera Residency in February of 2008. When this show at the Overture Center in Madison, WI was added to their seemingly never-ending touring schedule, I knew that I had to go because I wasn’t sure when they would return to their hometown of Chicago.

My favorite venue in Chicago to see Wilco is the stunning Auditorium Theatre. For a few years, Wilco called the Auditorium home, playing most of their hometown shows at the iconic venue. While the Overture Center is only a few years old and lacks the charm of the Auditorium, it is truly a beautiful venue and the acoustics are marvelous.

As the lights dimmed the band walked on stage to the Olympic March, which is fitting considering most of the shows on this tour are north of the border, and the band recently played an outdoor show in Vancouver for the Olympic’s. Wilco (The Song) kicked off the festivities with the band sounding very fresh and dialed in.

After the chaotic Bull Black Nova, the opening chords to You Are My Face resonated through the venue. The song explodes with a heavily distorted guitar riff by Jeff Tweedy and then once again calms down towards the end. As the song faded out, keyboardist Mikael Jorgensen and guitarist Pat Sansone added some lullaby like textures as if they were putting the song to sleep. READ ON for more from Jimmy on Wilco in Madison.

Nels Cline gets a lot of attention for being an extraordinary guitar player, but during At Least That’s What you Said, Cline took a back seat as Tweedy tore it up with an incredible guitar solo proving that not only is he a gifted songwriter, but he’s got some chops on the guitar as well. With the Winter Olympics in full swing, Tweedy took the opportunity to bring up everyone’s favorite sport, Curling. Tweedy and guitarist Pan Sansone mimicked the sport by shuffling their feet and using the head stock of their guitars as brushes pretending to scrape the floor before launching into Sonny Feeling.

When the opening riff for Impossible Germany began, fans knew that a dizzying guitar solo was on the way. Nels Cline dazzled the crowd once again with his wizardry on the guitar. Cline’s hand traversed the fret board of his Fender Jazzmaster at break neck speeds to the delight of the crowd.

Wilco has always been a band that is accessible to their fans. They allow fans to tape and trade their shows and they also take requests via their website for each show. Fans were definitely in for a treat as the band busted out When the Roses Bloom Again. Tweedy announced that it was the most requested song for the show.

As the show was reaching the end, the band used an eight-song encore to send fans home that packed quite the punch. The band started out with a cover of Buffalo Springfield’s Broken Arrow, which Wilco debuted in January at the MusiCares tribune to Neil Young.

California Stars has always been a live fan favorite and tonight the version wouldn’t disappoint. Jeff Tweedy brought out Califone guitarist Tim Rutili and percussionist Ben Massarella to accompany them. Rutili took a guitar solo that added a little country flare to it as Jeff Tweedy and company watched.

After some brief banter Tweedy started the intro to Kingpin from Wilco’s breakthrough double album Being There. With its monstrous riffs, the song had people grinning from ear to ear. As a whole, Wilco is not a very predictable band. They change up their setlists on a nightly basis, but during Kingpin Tweedy changed the lyrics from “Living in Pekin” to the very predictable “Living in Madison”, a nod to the locals.

What would a rock show be without a big rock show ending? Wilco let it all hang out with Hoodoo Voodoo. As the song climaxed both Sansone and Cline found themselves trading guitar licks. As Cline would buzz through a quick riff Sansone was equal to the task. As the house lights came on some two and a half hours later, I thought to myself, what an amazing show.

Wilco continues to consistently perform at a level some bands only dream of. While the three-hour drive to Madison wasn’t bad, I would much rather see the band in the comfort of my own backyard. Chicago fans may have to wait a while for the beloved band to return, but when they do the Wilco will be welcomed with open arms.

Thanks to Scotty B at Hidden Track for publishing the review.

RATM Announce Free UK Gig Details

Thanks to a very aggressive Facebook campaign, the residents of London will be treated to a free "victory" gig by Rage Against the Machine. Jon and Tracy Morter were to determined to keep X-Factor winner Joe McElderry from topping the UK Christmas Charts. They started their campaign to make "Killing in the Name" the top song on the charts. When RATM caught wind of the grassroots campaign, the band jumped on board and promised a free gig if their single "Killing in the Name" was #1

Rage triumphed and the band has kept good on it's promise. Tom Morello and company will descend upon London's Finsbury Park on June 6 for what will surely be an incredible show. The band have asked that Simon Cowell host the event, but chances are he will decline.

You Can't Blame Bartman For This One

It looks like Phish will NOT be playing Wrigley Field this summer. There was a published report that the Cubs were in talks with Phish about putting a show on at Wrigley this summer.

The Chicago City Council has approved three shows at Wrigley Field this summer. Dave Matthews Band along with Billy Joel & Elton John will headline three shows at Wrigley this summer & fall. I think it's crap that the people of Wrigleyville bitch about noise and night games.

R.I.P. MTV - The Music Portion That Is

This just confirms what every music fan knows...................

MTV SUCKS!!!!

Below is MTV's statement regarding their decision. I smell bullshit!

“It represents a new visually defined MTV, stimulating its past, present and future and embracing it’s diversity. Everything from Jersey Shore, to the VMAs to collaborations with the MoMA. The logo is part of MTV’s re-invention to connect with today’s millennial generation and bring them in as part of the channel.”

Monday Morning Coffee Break

The Bad Plus show on Friday night was sick! It had been awhile since I had seen them, but they put on a clinic. On Sunday, I watched Didier Drogba beat Arsenal himself. After that I was up in Evanston to see Northwestern take care of Indiana. I enjoyed the Super Bowl, but thought the commercials were pretty lame for the most part. The worst being the Doritos commercial with the guy in the coffin that falls out. Dumb. Paste runs down ten great Pepsi ads from past Super Bowls. Here is some news to help kick start your Monday.

• Leonard Cohen postpones European tour six months
• Jambands.com interviews The Avett Brothers
• Trey Anastasio begins tour tonight. Do you have your tickets?
• Hangout at the beach with The Black Crowes and many more
• Them Crooked Vultures rocked Saturday Night Live
• Gogol Bordello announce album & spring tour

I remember when I listened to "I Can't Quit You Baby" from Led Zeppelin's Coda for the first time and was blown away by Jimmy Page's guitar solo. Check out this great video of the song.

The party has just begun in NOLA. What would a party be in New Orleans without some phunk!

Video: The Bad Plus - Anthem For The Earnest

It's been a while since I've seen The Bad Plus, but tonight I am going to check them out at University of Chicago's Mandel Hall. Should be a great show!

2010 Pitchfork Music Fesival Lineup

What a way to start a Friday! The organizers of Pitchfork Music Festival unveiled an indie music fan's wet dream. The recently reunited Pavement will close out the festival, which had been confirmed a few days earlier. Modest Mouse and LCD Soundsystem will headline the other two nights. The festival, which takes place in the cozy confines of Chicago's Union Park will go down from July 16 - 18.

I would imagine that the tickets will sell out pretty quickly and there are still many more bands to be announced.

Tickets go on sale at noon Central time today at TicketWeb. Single-day passes cost $40, and three-day passes cost $90. (There are no two-day passes this year.) Lineup, so far, below:

Friday, July 16:
Modest Mouse

Saturday, July 17:
LCD Soundsystem
Raekwon
Here We Go Magic

Sunday, July 18:
Pavement
St. Vincent
Lightning Bolt
Cass McCombs
Sleigh Bells

Monday Morning Coffee Break

I had a great weekend, but it sucks that it's Monday. On Saturday, I made my first trip to Three Floyds Brewing Company in lovely Munster, IN. I tried a beer called Ham on Rye and yes, it tasted like a ham sandwich. I will add that I did enjoy the beer. I also had an incredible meal at Belly Shack on Sunday! We tried the Belly Dog, Roasted Squash, Boricua & the Korean BBQ Kogi. It sounds like a lot of food, but we didn't leave stuffed.Here is some news to kick start your Monday.

• Pitchfork interviews The National's Matt Berninger
• Some AC/DC fans in New Zealand got a little too drunk
• Help Black Rebel Motorcycle Club retrieve stolen vintage gear
• My Morning Jacket reemerge with brief US Tour
• Greg Kot reviews Lil Wayne's Rebirth
• Neil Young was honored as MuisCares Person of the Year

If you haven't heard Rose Hill Drive you should definitely check them out. Guitarist Daniel Sproul can absolutely shred on the guitar. Check out this video below of Rose Hill Drive covering Band of Gypsy's "Machine Gun".
