Wilco Setlist: Ascend Amphitheater, Nashville, TN 8/15/21

Wilco, with friends Sleater-Kinney and NNAMDÏ, brought their “It’s Time” tour to Music City – that is, Nashville, TN, on Sunday night. The only notable change to Jeff Tweedy and Company’s setlist was the tour debut of “War on War,” which means that Yankee Hotel Foxtrot is getting more play these days than their most recent album, Ode to Joy.

 

So here’s what Wilco played at Nashville’s Ascend Amphitheater last night:

 

“A Shot in the Arm”

“Random Name Generator”

“At Least That's What You Said”

“Love Is Everywhere (Beware)”

“I Am Trying to Break Your Heart”

“Art of Almost”

“If I Ever Was a Child”

“Impossible Germany”

“War on War”

“Box Full of Letters”

“Hate it Here”  

“Everyone Hides”

“Dawned on Me”

“Jesus, Etc.”

“Theologians”

“I’m the Man Who Loves You”

“Heavy Metal Drummer”

“I’m Always in Love”

 

Encore: “California Stars”

Next up: Wilco will perform at Salvage Station in Asheville, NC, on Tuesday night (I'll be there!).
