Today was the much anticipated Wilco concert at the Halifax Forum, attended by myself, Dave, John and Chris. I also saw a few other friends there that were unexpected. The show started off with a group called Bahamas. Although I think the "group" is only one person. There were mixed reviews from those present, but I liked them, or him. I think most people were just anxious to get Wilco onstage, and their impatience led to their mixed reviews. Here are a few pics of Bahamas.
While the main act was getting ready, we got a call from the 70's, they just wanted Richard Dreyfuss back. I told him that I loved him in Close Encounters, but he just gave me a quizzical look.
Finally, Wilco took the stage and it was a great show. They were less than impressed with the venue and loved referring to the Forum as a Bingo Hall. Nevertheless, they played to a packed house for several hours, and we more than got our moneys worth of their music. They played a great variety of songs, and our only complaint was that it was almost too long, probably due to the sweat box that the forum turned into. Great musicians though, they played tight and the singers voice was amazing.
The best part of the night came after the show. We stopped in for a few drinks at the Economy Shoe Shop downtown, and who should arrive but the band members. They were very gracious guys, and even signed our tickets for us. Great way to end the night and a nice souvenir to have.
Until next time...
