Wilco at the Opera House






Ah the mighty sounds of Wilco. Fantastic Chicago based bands for those who are undoubtely missing out on great music. I have seen them twice before but I saw them on the 24th and this was fantastic stuff. They played all of my favorites like Jesus etc, Spiders, I'm the Man that loves you, and more. The kiwi's have never had Wilco play in NZ before and Wilco sold out the Opera House without and advertising except for radio.


I was lucky enough to meet three of the band members after the gig in the back alley. I didn't have any plans so I just walked around the back and waited for about an hour and sure enough I met Nells the ripping guitarist, the bassist, and the keyboardist (don't remember their names).


I got a cool t-shirt that I will cherish because when else will I get a t-shirt of one of my favorite bands that has only an Australian and New Zealand tour on the back of it!!!
