Halifamous

I was halfway through that vid at the end before I realized he was playing with Wilco...

Damn.. I was hoping for Hell is Chrome in Halifax.. next time!

Yeah, there is just the tour poster with all the dates on it. There were only 700 prints made and I know the one I bought was 622, so I'm not sure how many are going to be left after tonight's show.

Oh - and mine's getting mounted today with all 6 signatures.

Alright, that was a little braggy, but I'm just so stoked. haha

Wiiiiilllcccooooooooooooooooooo!

What can I say - what an awesome show.

Despite the technical issues that they had, I thought it was an amazing performance and hope that we aided in boosting the energy for the band. Halifax has been known for it's great indie music scene, and I wasn't about to let this event pass by and have the band leave and think "well that was rather boring". Hopefully my mission was a success.

This was my first Wilco show after years and years of bad timing, vacation screw-ups, and even mother nature preventing me from seeing them (even while living in New England). So - the set list could have been absolutely anything and I would have loved it... I thought it was great. It was pretty cool that they played some of the Guthrie tunes, and I thoroughly enjoyed dancing to Hummingbird with the girlfriend.

MKHstudios, it was great meeting you, but I have to apologize - I was the idiot that yelled "via chicago dot org!" on your recording of the show. lol. Not to mention the cheers, and praise of the band members by full name during quiet(er) parts. I am really look forward to hearing the recording though. I hope you enjoyed Halifax!

I booted it back to their tour bus after the show, and I can say now that I am the proud owner of Tour Poster #622 that is signed by all 6 members of the band. It was great meeting them, and Jeff actually came back out of the bus to do it. We pretty much were the only two people there to meet them all. What great guys they are, very cool.

Great show, great night. I can't wait for the next one!

Thanks for the heads up... that is great news. For some reason I was thinking this was going to be sans-Nel which would suuuck.

I'm going to be catching the Halifax show this Wednesday.. then possibly road trip to New Brunswick. Can anyone tell me what members are touring? There was a nice article in our local indie-zine about our fav band, but the front page shot was just the four-piece. Who's on stage?

Nice.. capers always make a good party better!

Got my tickets 20 minutes ago... anyone else from on here going to go?

I wonder how long until the pre-sale sells out.

christ, i hope it's not that hard in halifax!!

I think they're selling 3,000

Yes.

Shit, missed that post. Thanks!

I've waited so long to see Wilco come to Halifax, Nova Scotia!

Very excited! One of those bands that I've missed by days over the years, but am a HUGE fan...

Anyone else from out this way that will be going to the show?
