Was able to get my daughters and I together, so can't use these anymore. Face value, $85 for each... Text 312 305 6421 if interested. WILCO!

Tried my best to download the show but no disc. Any chance it can be put up on etree? DIme a dozen would even work. Thanks for posting. I am sure there is some grey matter missing preventing me from understanding how to do it on this platform

Great recaps... there was also the Dr Strangelove impression at the end of the first interaction with Ulirich the German which was quiet but still funny.

Also.. after screen door, Jeff put out a little ditty about rock-n-roll's necessary disregard for grammar citing Led Zepplin that went something like "Honey, you need more education, I am not kidding, Going to send you back for a fuller education'''" at which point he conceded that that sounded even worse.

There was also a small portion on Wilco's decision not to sell their "Make Wilco Great Again" hats. Jeff claims that it started out funny and then didn't come out as funny as they thought.

Thanks everyone for the setlists and rememberances. See y'all tonight at the front!

i was looking for one for Saturday, but not sure that helps you out much...

Good luck! If you can't make a trade, I am looking for a Saturday night ticket up close (will take them both if you need to get rid of both of them.) You can PM me or just respond here if the trade doesn't work out. Thanks!

Thanks Paul! Glad to hear the show was a hit. Appreciate the review.

Something funky about this one. Tried to get tickets when they were released and they were immediately sold out. Went by the box office yesterday but it was closed (to be fair, there was  a pretty good snowstorm overnight), Had a call back from a gal who runs the theater and she was fairly adamant that no tickets were going to be released and nothing was available at the door. She ended the conversation with "even if tickets become available we are not going to sell any more". So I hope that they raise a hell of a lot of money for Ibrahim and help him stay here. Sort of get the feeling they sold tickets only to locals. Oh well, there will be more down the road.

Must have missed it. Tried t get on there this afternoon but no dice. Last time they played the Pritzker Pavilion it was a fantastic show. It's been my avatar here since the show. Will try for tickets again tomorrow.

was going to head out there today and see if there was tickets to be had at the box office but the snow kept me away. Oh well. If anything pops up last minute I can get there. PM me

Anyone making it to Three Oaks MI this Friday for Jeff's benefit? Tickets went fast but I wonder who will make it? I'll be in Michigan City, but currently am ticketless.

Thanks. So far it's us and the crickets.

Yeah that was fast. Took about 1 minute. Whooooosh!

Let the begging begin! Would love to see Jeff at the Acorn. Looking for 1 or 2 tickets.

I felt really bad for Jeff and that crowd was awful as was the entire organization of the event. But it was weird before the performers got on stage. They sold regular tickets and VIP tickets. Whenever Jeff does a charity gig, I try to do VIP 1) to be close and 2) to support the cause as best I can. But the front area of the stage was General admission, that was half full of chairs, half empty. The VIP section, which was half heavy Tweedy fans and half corporate sponsors was in the middle, and in reality, anyone who wanted to sit there, sat there. Other than providing funds for a good cause, the more expensive section was no different than the less expensive seats.

The talking during the music was at high level and I'd say half of the people were there just for a night out. During the sets there were guys starting fights by the bar, the aforementioned loud singer and "Jeff Tweedy is the best" commentator, the extremely weird woman who hid on the stage during the encore trying to get the birthday cash flowing (drunk and over-entitled is a bad mix), the guy who rushed the stage etc.

As for the music I thought the set list Jeff put together was really very good and aside from a few stumbles excellently performed. We've Been Had was perfection (never seen him perform that without stopping for lyrical help. It was definitely cut short by the shit heads and weird vibe. Been to a lot of Tweedy/ Wilco shows and have seen a lot of weird stuff, but never saw Jeff asked to bear such a unreasonable burden. The amount of give-back energy Jeff and Susan have is unbelievable.

Arrgh How did I miss this?? My own daughter is a tutor in 826chi and I didn't know about it. Sweet day in the morning.

I went to both shows this years and last years and it's an intimate show, but it's clear that Jeff's either not that into it or feels the audience is not that into it. I don't know. Maybe it's partly because it's during the year-end hiatus where Jeff's usually in the studio and the mix of comedy and great music aren't meshing? There's no disconnect in my mind, but I get the feeling that the audience gets a lot of laughs and is just reacting to the hilarity and then the engagement that usually feed a great Jeff/ WIlco performance is different than a music performance? Hard to put into words but I don't feel like Jeff enjoyed himself this year or last.
