The Finish Line For Wilco's Fall Tour Approaches - Here's The Latest Setlist Stats

Designed by Justin Froning/Housebear Design

Hey folks, yet again I’ve got a slew of Wilco setlists as their Fall tour is coming to an end. As I’ve talked about repeatedly, many fans have bitched at the similarity of the setlists, and the fact that this is supposed to be the Ode to Joy tour, in which their last album gets the focus that it lost when the pandemic stole their 2020 jaunt’s thunder, but they are only playing a few songs from the record at every show.

 

That’s fine by me as I saw a concert in 2019 that featured a lot of Ode to Joy. Also, they have mixed it up more than they have been given credit for as older tunes have been popping up regularly. So, as I’ve got five setlists to sum up - let’s get right to the the last shows for Jeff Tweedy and Company of 2021.
