Whereas the previous evening we saw the damp weather held at bay, for Wilco’s second night at Central Park’s Summerstage the band and attendees weren’t quite as lucky. All parties took it in stride and the crowd, despite the rain or maybe because of it, seemed particularly enthusiastic. Once again pulling a lion’s share of tracks from the new album, The Whole Love (which has its official release today), we were also treated to crowd-pleasers “Passenger Side”, “Impossible Germany” and “Heavy Metal Drummer”, and wonderful takes on live staples “Bull Black Nova”, “Misunderstood” and “Jesus, Etc.”, which Jeff Tweedy dedicated to us. With all the good stuff going on stage, Wilco made it pretty easy to forget about the drizzle on our heads.
As with the night before, the entire NYCTaper crew made it out for the concert. Paring down our rig considerably due to the inclement weather, we were still able to get an excellent recording and hope you like what you hear as much as we did. Enjoy!

Thank you thank you!
so glad that you made it to this show as well. i was there and when i turned around to leave, i think i saw your rig on a mic stand with an umbrella! i was hoping that with Wilco’s open policy on recording shows that someone would have captured this. thank you!
Great stuff, was one of the best Wilco shows I’ve seen, amazing setlist, thanks!
Indeed, despite the weather it was Friday night in Central Park with one of America’s great treasures. People’s enthusiasm was high. Thank you very much for all your efforts, the samples sound very nice. I’m looking forward to putting them to the harmon/kardon & polk audio twin towers.
Yay! Thanks guys! You rock. Such a good show. Got a little teary during Jesus, etc.
after downloading this and finally listening to it last night, i was really blown away by the quality of the sound. really crisp and a wonderful addition to my WILCO collection.
Thanks!
Johnny Fried Chicken Boy? Huh?
It’s a nickname he earned…. None of the rest of us know the story….
thanks for taping and sharing this show.
An excellent recording.
Thanks guys. Great show, great tape. Who can remember how wet it was that night.
Wilco played in the rain on a night when both the Yankees and the Mets couldn’t/wouldn’t/didn’t.
Drenched to the bone and LOVED it!
The show must & will go on!
Thank you Wilco.
Thank you Dan & NYC Taper crew.
‘sic ’em on a chicken! Like my chicken fried & cold beer on a friday night!!
Thanks a lot; judging by the comments, this is one to keep & enjoy!
Cheers.
THANK YOU FOR THIS!!! I was at both nights- and found Fridays performance stronger ( though believe me, I LOVED both! ) You can bet I am an avid Wilco fan and supporter! BIG THANKS to THEM for allowing this!
Thanks again to the NYC Taper team for yet another great Wilco show. They were great when they visited our little hamlet here in Georgia too.
Thank you.
thank you so much for the recordings. unfortunately I was unable to attend but listening to these recordings it is almost like I was there.
just wondering if you have a recording of wilco from summerstage 6/27/2003?
