This is an opportunity to take a quick look back at some concerts that I have attended. Most of these articles will be brief and hopefully I am remembering things correctly! Apologies if I forget key details. – Wilt
Back in 2015 I was heading to Chicago for the IRCE show. The IRCE is a big e-commerce conference that I had been wanting to attend and Five Ten graciously sent me to attend. For some reason that escapes me to this day, I had a random thought that maybe Calexico would be playing in the Chicago area. I am not sure why I thought this, but I checked out the Calexico web site and I saw the show listed. I quickly changed my flight to leave one day earlier and I was on my way.
Lincoln Hall is located in Lincoln Park and was an amazing venue to catch Calexico. I took a train from downtown and took a little stroll through the neighborhoods before the show. Gaby Moreno opened the show and really got the crowd going. I met a nice Brazilian woman at the show that now resides in Chicago. She was pretty excited for Calexico.
Here is the set list from the show:
- Falling From the Sky
Calexico Lincoln Hall Set List - Quattro
- Cumbia de Donde
- Splitter
- Woodshed Waltz
- Miles From the Sea
- Coyoacan
- Bullets and Rocks
- Inspiracion
- Woven Birds/Tapping on Line
- Deep Down
- Alone Again Or
- Crystal Frontier
- Beneath the City of Dreams
- Guero Canelo
- Follow the River (Not sure they played this)
Some highlights of the night:
- I am a big fan of Jairo and he was on fire that night
- It was great to see Calexico and Gaby Moreno perform together
- The crowd was really enthusiastic
- I met some hardcore Calexico fans on the train back to my hotel. One couple was from California and it seemed like we had been to all the same shows.
