Wilco at the Ryman
On Sunday night I watched Wilco perform at the Ryman Auditorium. Lead singer Jeff Tweedy wore a white suit with bright red roses and cardinals embroidered on it. When I first listened to Being There in 2002 (call me a late bloomer), I wished I had become a fan sooner so that I could see those songs played live in a small setting. I've seen Wilco play on the big stage at Bonnaroo twice but the setlists mostly consisted of recent material. My wish was granted Sunday night. The setlist can be found here. I recommend seeing the band on this tour if you get the chance.

Was it better than the Annuals show?
Tweedy was wearing a "nudie suit" as so named for Nudie Cohen a designer who's name is now synonymous for what you saw. Go to wikipedia and look it up, there is great photo of Gram Parsons wearing one. Tweedy was playing to the Ryman wearing that. It was very cool.
