Wilco 4/6/2010 Orpheum (Boston, Ma)

(Picture is from last summer at Lowell, Ma when I was in front row!!)
Sue was a great pal to come with me to see Wilco at the Orpheum in Boston, although I was prepared to go solo if necessary.  When we were checking the concert venue out before the concert, we saw the fabulous Wilco drummer Glenn Kotche walking around--just walking around like a regular guy.  Very cool.  
The Orpheum is a beautiful old theater from the 1850s that clearly has not been cleaned or updated since then...the seats were very icky, but conversely, the restroom was spotless and very hip with green and back tile...anyway, our tickets unlike the last concert (3rd row!) were waaaaay back, but the theater was nicely pitched so we saw the stage pretty well.  Sadly the audience when you're that far back are losers and people mostly chatted or texted which was depressing.  It's a lot more fun when people are dancing and singing along with you.  Anyway, Wilco was fantastic again and played their asses off.  I was thrilled to hear so much off their A.M. record--very cool to hear It's just that Simple, I must be High, Passenger side, and of course Casino Queen--I just love those songs, but then again I love all of them.  Three solid hours of Wilco bliss.  Here's the setlist:
