…was incredible. I’d been looking forward to the show but not with as much anticipation as I would have if I’d known how awesome the show was going to be. I had a weird feeling about seeing a band that I like so much in the Walton Arts Center. Partly because I’ve never seen a band in there before but mostly because I didn’t want Wilco to think Fayetteville was lame.
Thankfully, even though the Walton Arts Center is a sit-down venue, everyone stood up anyway and made tons of noise. I think Wilco was pretty surprised. Jeff Tweedy admitted to poking fun at Arkansas the night before while playing in Nashville (something that I’d already heard about via Sarah’s mother) but said he felt so guilty because Fayetteville was such a great city so he had to come clean. That was pretty cool.
The sound was excellent, we had great seats and they played every song I wanted to hear and then about a dozen more including a double encore. It was a very welcome relief after watching the Hogs get stomped by freaking Bucknell. Ugghh…
