I can't believe how good this sounds. As my friend said earlier, better audio-wise than being there. the festival shit is off the hook! planning my august around it.

FINALLY got connected... Oh my god, this sounds so good. Being there is where I want to be, but this might sound better than being there.

why can't I connect???

Interesting discussion. Times have changed. You know this when you listen to the old Pink Floyd audience recordings where you can hear a pin drop except for the applause between songs.... Every band message board I read has the same discussion: some of the 'fans' suck for some reason or another. The major complaint is talking. It sucks, it's a reality, lead by example, don't get too drunk, get up front. In Providence on Sunday, I was fortunate to be able to get up close (love that they do GA shows), and for the second half, after some folks got too heated up and left and made some space, I

I've got Orch Right, Row A. Got the same call. They said Wilco's bringing their own sound system, including a speaker stack that sits on the edge of the stage. I was up front in pvd, and didn't think the speakers were so big.. Only thing is, the band might set up far back on the stage (it's an arts theater, plays and such, big deep stage), so even a small speaker stack might block some sight lines. I'm sticking to the front row. How bad could it be?? That said, it's a tiny place, so 15 rows back is still gonna be great, might even be a better sound mix that far back. Still, close e

This might actually be worth the ridiculous prices they'll inevitably charge. Glad it's official. As for it being a crappy venue....I've always thought the sound at the Centurm was pretty good for an arena. Relatively small at 15,000 seats. The sight lines are good too; with nice long rows. It's got a gradual rise so that even in the nosebleed seats you feel like you're part of the show. Haven't been there since the '97 and '98 winter Phish shows, and I'm psyched to be going back. Rather here than the sterile Garden with their fancy VIP boxes taking up all the space, and pushing the ba

I don't know what my adrenals are, but I think they're spent. This show was that good. While I love the Pines venue and those shows from the past two years, and would love Wilco to come back to Look Park, this was something different. A different band than last year. The noise rock of yesteryear has given way to art rock soundscapes, with Nels Cline at the helm. ....to say nothing of the tender acoustic Tweedy ballads. Lots of highlights: Remember the Mountain Bed and California Stars from Mermaid Ave., Handshake Drugs becomes a monster of a song, PoorPlaces>Kidsmoke to end the set

I don't know anything about the numbers 2 or 6, but I did read the "rules" after I posted. So apologies.

ahem. seeing as how Ryan Adams is somewhat related to wilco, I thought I'd check in here. There doesn't seem to be a very active RA board for this kind of thing (but I might not be looking in the right place. directions please?) So....are there any extra RA tix around for the Somerville Theater show next Friday? Much thanks!! mholt101@hotmail.com
