Wilco @ The Cave-Ottawa 2-28-97

Anybody catch this one???

I've had a cassette sitting in a milk crate for some time now and since they have become one of my fave live bands I have been wanting to dig it out, dust it off and transfer it to digital.

Anyways, that day is today and it's been a blast to schwill a couple of ales and check it out. Surprisingly enough it sounds pretty decent all things considered, there's one rough spot that may need some help but otherwise it's quite listenable. The setlist is pretty rough but here's what I have:

Misunderstood

Forget The Flowers

That's Not The Issue

Someday Soon

(Uncle Tupelo-"Roll Me Under The Mattress"???)

Red Eyed & Blue

I Got You>

?

("Why Would You Wanna Live In This World"???)

Passenger Side

I Must Be High

?

?

Kingpin

Ottasite

-Encores:

Box Full Of Letters

Casino Queen

Gun

I'll likely post it once I track it out and fix up anything that requires it.

Wow. I didn't realize you had done any taping in Ottawa from around then, and Wilco at The Cave? I seem to recall that place being tiny. Do you have any other recordings from Ottawa around that time? I'm especially interested in the Bitches Brew band, which included Rob Frayne and Wayne Eagles, doing Miles Davis music the from Bitches Brew / In A Silent Way era.

I also found a website for Wilco set lists

but it seems to be down.

Aloha,

Cool find!

No idea what song Roll Me Under the Mattress refers to, so that would be cool to hear to figure it out. And the other one is Why Would You Wanna Live. Would be great to hear Gun and Kingpin from back then.

shit. I think I would have been living here on my first out of town real job at that time. I came in the winter of '97 and I was ITCHING to go out and party. I remember going to the cave for a couple shows, but I have no idea what I saw.

That same year, I missed moe. at Zaphod's so who knows?
