I rarely have seen the same band two nights in a row in different cities, but I have to say the Wilco experience over the past two nights was quite varied. In a nutshell:Seattle: Up against the stage, with a strange mix of people - a pack of teenagers with one parent overseeing them, coupled with a few 50'ish dudes. A small amount of people stood in the front, while everyone on the lawn sat...the set was cool but not gangbusters.
Portland: Everyone it seemed was 30's & 40's, and we opted to sit on the lawn tonight (the show was at the Edgefield) and just chill....well, that didn't work out because in Portland, *everyone* stood for the whole show, all the way to the concessions in the back. I did see one pregnant lady sit for a few songs...that was it. The set was amazing and varied, and the engagement of the crowd was just way cooler. We wished we could've reversed our "seats" for the two nights and been up front in Portland...ah well. That said, both shows were a great time!
Now, onto a few days vacation in Portland! Here's a few more photos from last night:
