Wilco

[LemonMelon]

Got my tickets to the Philly gig:

L/C orch, row C

Not bad. 4 rows better than what we had when we saw Arcade Fire. Plus, I didn't lose any sleep getting up to buy them, plus I have enough to pay for the tickets myself. All is well with me.

 

[BonoIsMyMuse]

Cool. You'll be only a few rows back from me, on the same side.

From what I'm reading over at Via Chicago, a lot of people got shut out, so we should consider ourselves lucky!

 

[LemonMelon]

I'll keep a lookout and say hi if I see you.

The tickets sold out completely within 40 minutes.

 

[No spoken words]

I got tickets to the 5th Chicago show yesterday during the pre-sale. Wanted to go to more than one show, but, am glad I get to go to at least one.

 

[LemonMelon]

Man, if it's this tough to come across a Wilco ticket, I can only imagine the psychosis that will surround the Radiohead ticket sale.

 

[I'm Ready]

Yeah these were tough tickets.

I got in for the Wednesday show, but shut out for every other.

 

[LemonMelon]

Which songs are you guys most interested in hearing them play this time out?

I'm not too picky about the setlist, but I'll be pleased as long as they can fit Shot In The Arm, Jesus Etc, and Impossible Germany in there somewhere, I'll be satisfied. Bonus points for NOT playing The Thanks I Get.

 

[No spoken words]

I'm not at all picky, but, I'd be pleased to hear I'm Always in Love, I Must be High and Pot Kettle Black.

 

[Anu]

I had no money for Wilco tickets, but I will try to go and cover it for the main page.

Congrats to those who scored tickets.

At Nashville, Coheed and Cambria are opening, which makes this a pleasing and ambitious double bill.

 

[BonoIsMyMuse]

This thread deserves a bump

TUESDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[impy13]

I'm glad to see this bumped, and I'm jealous you're going to Winter Residency, NSFW.

But I have a confession, gang. I sold my tickets to the Houston gig. I just sort of need the money to put towards my tickets for the Radio Heads. I've seen Wilco and Tweedy solo so many times, I thought it would be okay. Maybe it isn't though.

I hope this doesn't warrant taking away my Wilco Fan card.

 

[No spoken words]

Impy, if you needed the money to pay for your Mom's operation or your tuition or for a case of Powerjuice, I'd not blink....but this, this requires thought before I pass judgement.



You've seen em before, so it's understandable.

I've never seen them; I'm long overdue.

I've seen the Radio Heads once, in LA, look forward to seeing them again.

[BonoIsMyMuse]

Next weekend will be my third time seeing them, but my first time inside and from relatively close. I think this is the closest I'll ever have been at a show, in fact. They're my favorite band right now, so even though it's a weird time of year for a big road trip, I couldn't resist.

I think they're going to come out of this run of shows in Chicago with so much energy, and I imagine the setlists over the next few weeks are going to be wild. I think I'll probably hang around for awhile after the show to try to meet them. I've become a big Nels fan since the last time I saw them last summer, so it would be especially cool to get to meet him.

 

[LemonMelon]

I'm going to try to avoid looking at the setlists as much as possible this week. I don't want to get my hopes up too much. Being surprised is always good anyway.

 

[No spoken words]

I'm so fucking stupid....I'm going to see them tomorrow, not tonight.

 

[impy13]

I'm so fucking stupid

I'm so fucking stupid

I'm so fucking stupid

I'm so fucking stupid

I'm so fucking stupid

I knew I had you pegged.

 

[joyfulgirl]

I'm so fucking stupid....I'm going to see them tomorrow, not tonight.

I would say, you're so fucking lucky to be seeing them tomorrow. I don't hope it will be good, I KNOW it will be. Enjoy.

 

[BonoIsMyMuse]

At least you realized it before you went over and got in line today Besides, you should be thrilled--getting to see the last night of the residency will no doubt be epic.

You are both right, of course.

Thanks.

Impy, I'll deal with you later.

 

[impy13]

You're going to need a keg of Powerjuice for that dealing.

WXRT in Chicago will be streaming tonight's show online, starting at 7:30 central time.

 

[BonoIsMyMuse]

They sound amazing tonight

 

[No spoken words]

They are going to sound sooooo amazing tomorrow night

 

[BonoIsMyMuse]

I'm just barely resisting the urge to ask you to call me from the show tomorrow

 

[No spoken words]

I called people from many a U2 show on the Vertigo Tour.....friends, and, I served as the source for set list threads a few times......if you want a random call during the show, I'll totally do it.

I almost forgot but I'm listening now. Damn...so good.

 

[No spoken words]

I'm odd....I am staying away cos I somehow think it'll take away from tomorrow night. I'm an idiot, I guess.
