I hated Spiders until the second time I heard it live, which was last summer. It's a song that really showcases Nels's natural playing style, and it was cool to see him and Jeff feed off of each other's energy. A lot of people in the crowd suddenly had glow sticks, too (the crew might've been tossing them out into the crowd), and every time the song rose to one of those really high explosive parts, everyone threw their glowsticks. It was so damned pretty in the dark park, and by the end of the song, the glowsticks were around the whole crowd, even in the back where we were.
I requested Ashes of American Flags for Saturday over on that request form on Wilcoworld. I'd also love to hear Too Far Apart and Red-Eyed and Blue. Honestly, though, I'll be thrilled no matter what they play. They had so much fun breaking out the obscure songs this week that it wouldn't surprise me if at least a few of them stay in the setlists.
LM, do you think you're going to stick around after the show to see if they come out to sign autographs and such? And do you know if the Tower people will hassle me about my camera?
