Ottawateeth

I'm sure it'll be a sbd, but webcasting is notoriously low fidelity. Not sure about this one though.

I listened on sirius on Friday and the quality of sound was pretty good. It'll be on again Wednesday night and Saturday Afternoon.

In addition to wrapping the Bob Mould live DVD "Circle of Friends" (Canty played in Mould's live band on the tour it chronicles), Canty will likely be involved in filming some Wilco shows next spring for an as-yet-unannounced project and has also scored the film "Indestructible," about a man named Ben Byar's struggle with ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease).

Also, does anyone have any idea who is opening for them at this show???

alternate route from Ottawa to Burlington (to avoid MTL traffic) as recommended by other people. Cross the border at Cornwall and then zip across on highways/roads that are just north of Adirondack Par and then take a couple bridges across Lake Champlain. Should be about 4 to 4.5 hour drive. Mapquest it for exact directions.

I wouldn't leave Ottawa anytime after 2 if you wanna catch Low.

6:30? I was thinking of driving down for this but I can't leave Ottawa until about 2:30 or 3. That might be cutting it close.

normally Burlington is a 4 to 4.5 hour drive from Ottawa...but then you have to add Montreal traffic (especially at rush hour...the Decarie is a nightmare) and crossing the border (the Friday of a long weekend). Last time I went through Montreal during rush hour heading to Boston, it took 2 hours from the time we got onto the island to the time we got off the Champlain bridge. Good times. I've looked and there aren't any real alternative routes. Good Luck.

anyone out there know if the show at the Shelburne museum starts early or if they're making an exception to the rules for the Wilco show. Normally shows start at around 6:30.

- Good guess Ottawateeth! Wilco closes main stage Saturday, July 15!!!

 

Also on the bill, July 11 - Son Volt. Calexico on the 7th. Great Lake Swimmers, New Pornographeres, Controller Controller, Hammell on Trial, Mark Kozelek, Bell Orchestre, Roseanne Cash, Fiery Furnaces, Metric, Feist, Broken Social Scene, Elliot Brood. Nuts!!!

 

Lots of other stuff too of course, but some great names this year.

and every Ottawa band that you'd wanna see live: 50men, acorn, hi lo trons, jim bryson, kathleen edwards as well as Alejandro Escovedo.

I'm happy you folks out east are happy.

 

Dates like these make sense; recently it seems Wilco doesn't do "tours" so much as play places if that makes any sense. So I don't know if there will be a Canadian tour - but there might. Anyway, there have been 2 shows in Montreal since the latest record and 2 in Toronto. That means they owe Ottawa one visit at least.

 

And some Tweedy solo shows at some summer festivals (Bluesfest, Hillside) would really be fantastic!

Ottawa bluesfest lineup is being announced tomorrow (April 26th). I will go out on the limb and predict that wilco will be on the bill as part of the final weekend of the festival...
