Monsters Of Folk @ Auditorium Theatre 10/30/09 Chicago, IL (Setlist & Video)

Good show last night from the Monsters Of Folk in CHI. I'm looking over the setlist from Greg Kot and I'm wondering did I miss some of these? Did we really get there as late as it seems? Once again I guess 8:15 is kinda late for a Friday night arrival.

We definitely missed some good tunes, but still were able to see a lot of good music. As anticipated the MOF mixed in most of their debut album and some nuggets from both Bright Eyes and My Morning Jacket to fill out a lengthy 30+ tune show.

MMJ songs seemed to be the highlight (or is that just my own bias?). 'Smokin' From Shootin' and 'At Dawn' were both awesome. Good times all around. I gotta get my ace to one of these shows on time.

The Airborne Toxic Event (w/ Red Cortez and The Henry Clay People) @ Metro, Chicago, IL 10/23/09 (Videos & Review)

We posted the setlist and a clip of The Airborne Toxic Event's encore performance of "Missy" over here. Check it if you haven't already. I promised some more clips from the show and have finally been able to get a few uploaded.

I didn't get to Metro in time to see Red Cortez (8:15 is too late on a Friday night?) and only caught the last couple tunes from The Henry Clay People. Check out their version of the T. Rex classic, "Get It On".

The Henry Clay People - "Get It On" (T. Rex cover)


I did get to secure a solid spot for Airborne Toxic Event despite the packed house for the show. Good performance. I'm always curious how a band with one album of material will fill a show and ATE did a good job of playing most of their current album, some new unreleased songs, and some fun covers (see setlist). Some covers worked better than others. I'll stick to the original on "This Magic Moment", but the cover of recently passed Jim Carroll's "People Who Died" (a past TGITh Jam) by ATE w/ members of Red Cortez and The Henry Clay People was high energy and a fitting tribute to the fallen scribe.

Check the video of that tune and a couple others below.

Los Lonely Boys @ Old Town School of Folk Music, Chicago 10/23 (Setlist)

Los Lonely Boys came through Chicago last Friday to play 2 all acoustic performances (7pm and 10pm). I got to check out the 7pm set with Gus T. Wilson from the balcony. Fun show for sure. Aside from being talented musicians these boys have a great sense of humor. Whether razzing each other a bit, or intentionally speaking while the other was trying too, they kept things light. Their relaxed attitude must have made the crowd feel comfortable as it looked like much of the people sitting at tables down front were not embarrassed to stand up and groove. Music was good too, Evil Ways probably being my favorite song performed but it was all solid.

read more and view setlist below...

The highlight of the show was no doubt when all three brothers joined together to play one guitar at the same time. Jojo jumping on higher up on the neck of Henry's guitar while Ringo came around to add a little rhythm on the body of the guitar. Pretty sure Gus has a pic of the whole thing somewhere in his fancy iPhone. A little more low key than Jim's night out at Airborne Toxic Event but fun all the same.

It was also nice to see Hacienda open up. Last time we saw these boys they were opening up for Dan Auerbach @ the Metro. Their laid back nature and casual approach to their set made it feel like we were in their living room as they rehearsed.

Los Lonely Boys - Chicago - 10/23/09 - Setlist (7pm show)

Staying with me
Loving you Always

Wilco @ UIC Pavillion 10/19/09 (Videos and Review)

Wilco - Hummingbird from Jim Longstreet on Vimeo.

After some technical issues at HGH HQ videos from the 10/19/09 Wilco show are starting to be uploaded, processed, etc. A good one of "Hummingbird" above as the last song prior to the 10 song encore the band would go on to play (See setlist HERE).

Solid show to close out the North American leg of Wilco's tour. They seemed to ease into things, picking up the pace as they went deeper into the night (they played for almost 3 hours). The stage banter from Tweedy seemed loose and fun. I wish I had some video of the crowd's 'Queen Clap', but alas the hands were otherwise occupied.

I'm interested to hear what others thought of the show compared to the night before or others they saw on this tour. I've been trying to compare it to the Brooklyn show I saw earlier in the summer...kinda similar setlist...same Hummingbird microphone toss, no special guests this time, different vibe... overall, good show.

More videos from the night BELOW.

Wilco - "I'll Fight"


Wilco - "Country Disappeared"


Wilco - "Heavy Metal Drummer"


Wilco - "Spiders (Kidsmoke)"


Wilco - "Casino Queen"
