This is the first of two nights that Wilco played in Seattle on their "Evening With Wilco" tour,
which consisted of two long sets and an encore. The set lists were relatively well balanced,
though this night sadly contained nothing from Wilco (The Album), Star Wars, or Ode To Joy
(two of those would be addressed the following night). The crowd was rowdy and appreciative,
and my recording (roughly front row on Pat's side, in front of a speaker) turned out alright
for an outdoor show. I was hoping to see alternate sources for these shows, but so far no good.
