Wilco Encore

Oh, and I forgot my favorite moment of the show. There were two encores, but the first song of the first encore was amazing. The crowd is on their feet going crazy. Tweedy comes and and whispers the words to "Less Than You Think" as he strums on his guitar, almost in response to the crowd.

"It's almost gone
The night is dissolving
In a cup God lifts
To toast the lightning"

The melody has a dynamic tension to it, it drives upwards.

"Your spine starts to shine
And you shiver at your soul
A fist so clear and climbing
Punches a hole
In the sky
So you can see
For yourself
If you don't believe me"


and in the vacuum of soaring guitars, white noise and smashing piano solos, he ends with the words "There's so much less To this than you think"
