Perhaps, but I think Wilco were more Sonic Youth-y last night than the last two times I saw them, which were both post-YHF.

Wow, that's interesting. Wish I was catching them at Bumbershoot, but we'll be on the plane back home the day they play.

I am pretty sure it is the first track on Loose Fur, and it is listed on the Drag City website (and other places) as Laminated Cat but it is on their set lists as not for the season.

it also happened to be by FAR the worst part of the set. 10 mintues of feedback with o'rourke wiggling around like a 12 year old air-guitaring in his bedroom is not what i came to see.  john (bass player) and leroy (keys/guitar) looked just as horrendously bored as the rest of the audience.

So you think Jeff lets Jim bang his wife too?

That's WETA ch 26 for DC proper folks.

Not sure if 26 could squeeze it into their schedule, what with all the Suze Orman infomercials they run

with all of thier songs, seems like they would vary thier setlist a little more.  most of the same stuff they played when i saw them last.  and if they EVER played a show w/o Teenage Riot and i was there....i wouldve killed them.

well isn't part of Sonic Youth's deal that they tune their guitars some bizarre way each album, making it more difficult to go back to old material?  I know that was the case in the early years, I dunno how true that is now, but it does seem like they tend to favor material from whatever the new album is.
 
 Also, I wonder if Wilco has gotten tired of the YHF stuff yet?  They've been playing it seemingly nonstop for a couple years now.

That was my issue with their set. I understand playing songs from the new album, but clearly this show was geared toward older fans (Constitution Hall, opening for Wilco), so having a Silver Rocket or a Teenage Boots would've been nice.

Anyone read the post review of the concert?
 
 The reviewer was clearly a big SY fan, and not to much of a Wilco supporter. While this was not the best Wilco show ever, I think it was far from the terrible performance the reviewer made it out to be. The best for me so far was when they played the Rechter Theatre.
