"Wilco&amp;apos;s show at Portland, Oregon&amp;apos;s Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall last night &amp;#x2014; one of the first dates on their Tundra Tour of chilly locales &amp;#x2014; presented fans with a small dilemma that frontman Jeff Tweedy was happy to see resolved: &amp;quot;You guys worked out that sitting/standing thing. Good. We should never have to intervene.&amp;quot; Standing was only appropriate &amp;#x2014; the show demonstrated that Wilco aren&amp;apos;t the alt-rock darlings they once were, or the angsty kraut-rock-experimental-screech they became. This is Wilco (the well-oiled rock machine).\r\nAfter a tribal, atmospheric set of whispery, stripped songs by openers Califone, Wilco opened quietly, opting for &amp;quot;Sunken Treasure&amp;quot; followed by the equally understated &amp;quot;Remember the Mountain Bed.&amp;quot; But they soon dug into &amp;quot;Bull Black Nova,&amp;quot; one of the loudest tunes on 2009&amp;apos;s Wilco (The Album), and Tweedy demonstrated that he&amp;apos;s back to the thwack-whacking, guitar-shaking lead playing he&amp;apos;d largely abandoned in the years since they added lead guitarist Nels Cline.\r\nCheck out Rolling Stone&amp;apos;s photos of Wilco, onstage and off.\r\nWilco&amp;apos;s stage included glowing cylinders forming a line behind the band, and also scattered stage right and stage left. In addition, the band used audience-aimed lights to great effect a few times, particularly during perennial favorite &amp;quot;A Shot in the Arm.&amp;quot; When encouraging the crowd to sing &amp;quot;Jesus, Etc.&amp;quot; without his assistance, Tweedy goaded Portland to do better than Missoula, Montana (the location of their previous show). &amp;quot;[And] do it better than Denmark! You should at least be able to beat a crowd that learned English as a second language.&amp;quot;\r\nTweedy also played around with some extra falsetto vocals in &amp;quot;Hate it Here,&amp;quot; changed the lyrics of &amp;quot;Kingpin&amp;quot; to &amp;quot;Livin&amp;apos; in/....Oregon,&amp;quot; and invited Portland locals Scott McCaughey and Peter Buck, both of R.E.M. and the Minus Five, onstage for an obligatory supergroup moment on &amp;quot;California Stars.&amp;quot; After rocking through nearly 20 songs from their own catalog, Wilco began their encore with a glance back at one of their influences, revisiting the stellar cover of the Neil Young-penned &amp;quot;Broken Arrow,&amp;quot; they performed a week ago at the MusiCares gala honoring Young in Los Angeles.\r\nSet List: &amp;quot;Sunken Treasure&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Remember the Mountain Bed&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Hell is Chrome&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Bull Black Nova&amp;quot; &amp;quot;You are My Face&amp;quot; &amp;quot;I Am Trying to Break Your Heart&amp;quot; &amp;quot;One Wing&amp;quot; &amp;quot;A Shot in the Arm&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Side With the Seeds&amp;quot; &amp;quot;At Least That&amp;apos;s What You Said&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Deeper Down&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Jesus, Etc.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Impossible Germany&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Far, Far Away&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Sonny Feeling&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Hate it Here&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Walken&amp;quot; &amp;quot;I&amp;apos;m the Man Who Loves You&amp;quot; Encore: &amp;quot;Broken Arrow&amp;quot; (Buffalo Springfield cover) &amp;quot;California Stars&amp;quot; (feat. Scott McCaughey and Peter Buck) &amp;quot;Heavy Metal Drummer&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Kingpin&amp;quot; &amp;quot;I&amp;apos;m a Wheel&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
