4/30/1997   The Boo Radleys @ 9:30

How was this show?  I always wanted to see them live but never got the chance.

I really enjoyed it...extremely cranked guitar. This was NOT the "Wake Up Boo" Boo Radleys, though I think they played that. They played most of "C'Mon Kids" and but they really didn't play any older stuff (which is my favorite). I think they only tune they did from Giant Steps was "Lazarus", and it sounded amazing. That being said, it was a super fun show and the evening continued at the Backbar. I still have pics from that night. They were all really great guys.

This is pretty much what I remember them playing. Get on the Bus was really loud, angry...it was great.

I was at the Wilco show. Can't believe it was 2002! It was so packed I couldn't see the band. But, it sounded perfect.

I believe Wilco also played the Recher in 2000 or so... they played a lot of songs from Mermaid Avenue 2 which was one of the only times they did so....

Recher was always a fun venue to see a show at.....
