He conserves the 'dear' for, I assume, greater impact on the LP version.

I can dig them rotating 'Deeper Down' and 'Country Disappeared' but what happened to 'You Never Know'? Not to mention 'Wilco' the song...

Oh weird, NOW you can pick from the seating chart, at 9:30 this morning it was just giving you what it gave you...

Wow, that's the first time I've seen a public onsale through the Royal where you couldn't actually choose your seats from the map. Started with row C and within seconds was getting row Q. Another reason why presales are amazing!

I think too many people think "classy theatre" = "I have to sit down". Or, quite possibly, "I'm too cool to stand." ...but whatever, it's Wilco. In Victoria! Never thought I'd see the day.

I'm nervous that the Victoria crowd will be superlame, a la Vancouver 2004, where Jeff consistently mocked us all for remaining seated the entire evening and even went so far as doing an impression of the slouched gentleman in the first row who he assured us Glenn was painting between songs.

I'll be at Seattle too, which I'm really excited for... never been to the Paramount, after all these years!

Maybe you're doing it wrong.

I had to settle for 6th row center . (don't forget, there is an AA,BB row, so row B is row 4!

I said 2nd row, not row B.

It looks like the Wilco show @ the Olympics is a full Wilco show, as it's advertised as being from 7-11pm (which shoots down any hopes I have of getting back to the island that night), but I suppose wandering around for 6 hours until the first bus out wouldn't be the worst thing in the world...(if I can't find accommodations, that is)

Victoria presale -- 2nd row center. Mmmm yes...I think that will do.

I think it's better to open the album w/ Dark Neon (try it!) and follow it up w/ Sonny Feeling, then basically continue in the same order but save "Bull Black" and "Country" for after I'll Fight to help balance the 2nd half of the album (plus the line "Wake up we're here..." coming out of Bull Black Nova is sequential genius, if you ask me), then stick "The Song" at the end as a fun send-off instead of that bombastic Everlasting thing, which can settle for the penultimate spot. Also, Solitaire is awesome.

...in place of Solitaire?

.......in place of.. SOLITAIRE?!??!?!?

Anyway, it should have been on the album, in place of .. nothing .. but preferably as the first song (I posted a resequenced track list a while ago that I still think balances the album better).

..in place.. of.. .... .solitaire?

I'm curious how they intend on getting to Vancouver for the show the next day -- surely all ferries are booked, especially with the buses they'd need to accommodate? Or do Wilco have ways of making things happen...

Oh my God. I have the biggest fucking pit in my stomach right now.

 

I live in Victoria, have been waiting for this forever, and I've been planning for the past year to move to Barcelona in January.

 

How pathetic would it be if I delayed leaving a month just to see Wilco?

How could the right decision possibly be pathetic?

They probably heard about my favorite Indian restuarant there. Might be time to ride the Victoria Clipper from Seattle!

 

I know about the band, what about the theater?!? Is it a nice venue?

Beautiful, very tiny theatre, or at least it feels that way when I'm in there. Their website allows you to choose the exact seats you want, too.

OMG THEY ADDED VICTORIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Feb 12th!

Happily eating my words earlier in the thread....

Sooooorrry.....sweatshirt.

Just spotted this in Wilco (the store) and my immediate thought was "I need this" but I'm curious if anybody already has it:

Is it relatively warm? I could probably excuse the $50 price tag if it will get me thru the winter...

Victoria, a beautiful city with a major university, attracts artists like Leonard Cohen, etc. Neil Young played a benefit concert in Duncan, BC (also on the Island) in 2004.

Wilco would draw ZERO crowd if they played at Save On. Come on... where could they play? The Royal? What would be the point? I'd love to see them in my hometown but let's face it, Victoria crowds suck, and there is not enough demand to draw Wilco. Anyone who lives on the island just accepts that they have to travel to Vancouver, Seattle, or beyond to see 99% of their favorite bands.

When Wilco befriend Randy Bachman and he invites them for a benefit, that'll be different.

"Sail Away" for first time in 20 years! "Hold Back The Tears" for only the 7th time ever or something... love when he does stuff like that. Very laidback set but wonderful!

I think euthe is talking about Bull Black Nova while everyone else is understandably talking about Dark Neon, the song the thread is actually about.

beautiful song. 'all the same to me' as well, just incredible. heard them earlier at work!

I assumed that's just the isolated piano track from a full band performance?

Are these not just Wilco w/ the Total Pros and the vocals removed? Or are they actually just done by the Total Pros themselves?

I always thought the film was edited strangely, because it DOES sound like they're talking about 'Jesus etc' but I've always thought they were clearly referring to 'Always in Love' like the poster above elaborates. Watch the, er, costume changes and question the editing...

My comments were two separate points merged together by the forum. And both still apply.

7 new tunes! It's almost starting to look like they're touring in support of a new album...

Looks like a great set, I wonder if they really are gonna bring 'Kicking Television' back...missed it at the Residency.
