  1. i was in the 5th row center...and the sound was totally superb. it couldn' have sounded any better. we didn't have anyone talking around us (small miracle) but...it really was a sit down thing, unfortunately. the negative was that it was turned into a sitting show for the most part. also - i am from philly and well, i have seen lots of shows here and in other cities, and the philly audiences really do seem to be among the worst. i hate to say it since i am from here....but it just seems that way. always talking. always. and yelling stuff too. and security is rough. the same security guys work multiple venues so you'll see them at the tweeter and electric factory as well. maybe i'm mistaken, but sadly i understand the posts from people who didn't have the best experience. it was meet to see some VC people before and after the show!!! sara

  2. there is a parking garage right around the corner from the venue that usually costs about $10 to get into if you can't find on-street parking. also - the waterford inn is a total smoky dive bar, always packed and kind of fun for pre-show drinks or food (if you can get a table). it is right across the street from the tower across the alley (where the tour buses park).

     

    also - the tower has beer and drinks and you can hang in the lobby preshow or during opening acts.

     

    there aren't many other places. some decent bars on route 3 leading into upper darby or back in philly itself.

     

    looking forward for more wilco - i only got to see 2 of the residency shows! sara

  3. looking for 1-6 tickets for the Philly Tower Theater show. Singles or pairs. We got shut out on the presale and then I was out of town on the regular sale. looking for double letter orchestra closer up (aren't we all?). Sara ses1735@aol.com

  4. ok - i am venturing out of lurkdom!!! what an amazing weekend! thanks millions to jeff and sue for offering up 4 nights in all for the benefit of these kids!!! edie and leigh - we couldn't have been there without you! to all the vcr's who i'd never met - it was terrific and i hope to see you again at shows down the road. as for the neil tune (motion pictures) it was my request as i'd missed the emailed request list. it really turned out not to be the right tune for the night as it was really a sing-along kind of evening. jeff kindly apologized after for not playing it...but really that was the right move. btw - when i asked him if he knew it, earlier in the dining room, he sang a few lines immediately...so trust me, he was right on top of the lyrics! sara
