Wilco: The Thread

[parkervb]

hey beardedwonder,

what was the structure of the show? a buddy was telling me they so Star Wars front to back, finish off the set electric and then do encores acoustic.

Precisely, for the show I attended (2nd night). However, looking at the 1st nights set they did not include an acoustic set.

It really was 2 shows in 1 with this format.

love it. Thanks!

Nice! Didn't pull anything close to pit via presales/reg sale.

I was shut out on both presales, but snagged a lower center pair at the onsale

Thanks! I've had really shitty ticket luck this spring, so I was pleasantly surprised. Of course I lucked out with the band I can see any old time  but still.

anyone interested in going to the show in philly on Sat. at the Mann for free?  A friend of mine can't make it so he just gave them to me (I offered to pay him, but he said no it's cool).  They're seated tix, not sure exactly where but pretty sure not in the balcony and def. not in the lawn.

I'm an on and off fan of Wilco. I'm really getting into the Kicking Television/Ghost is Born phase right now. Anyone have any good live show suggestions?

[sillyboob]

So with Kicking Television, you have probably the best recording of that timeframe.  OI just gave a quick listen to the bootlegs I have, and from that period I'd suggest are from Italy 2004 and Montreal 2005, not sure of the venues here.  I also recommend tracking down their 5 night no repeat sets in Chicago, February 2008.  Wilco has some great stuff floating around out there on the internets.  The engineering demos of Yankee Hotel Foxtrot are interesting to hear.

played someone to lose... an obvious choice for late night.. not many songs from the new album could be played in that time slot. Sounds like a folky version of a YHF track.

Incredible time at the Fillmore couple weeks back. Ended up getting a hotel right by the venue and the whole band was staying their as well. Chatted briefly with Glenn, super nice guy.

[Shug]

Saw 2 of the three nights in LA, night two was as an inspired a show as I've seen them play. Wilco are still at the top of their game. Stayed at the Ace hotel in the same building as the venue and saw the band a bunch there too. John Stirrat is a nice dude too.

Hey yall message me if you're interested in buying a ticket to Wilco's Chicago show this thursday 2/23. Thanks!

[CountSA]

I hate to speculate but Newport Folk Fest Saturday is lining right up (NJ on Friday, Portland on Sunday).

[parkervb]

Looks like Wilco is jumping in the resort festival run
