Three dollars and 63 cents

This ticket is sold.

This is still available. I really need to mail it no later than Thursday morning to ensure it arrives on time, so anyone who’s interested please let me know ASAP.

I'm dealing with some health stuff and unfortunately can't make the trip to New York for the shows. I've already sold my Radio City ticket but also have a GA for Brooklyn Steel for sale, face value ($85.75). It doesn't appear that I can transfer it to you through the AXS site, but I have the hard ticket and can mail it. Let me know if you're interested.

I got third row pit on Nels’ side for New York. It’s the last seat in the row, so I hope it’s not too far to the side to see. I’m thinking they might add a second show Sunday.

The group Nels is playing with on March 11 will also be at Boot and Saddle in Philadelphia on March 9: https://www.arsnovaworkshop.com/events/celebrating-pat-metheny-03-09-2017

It's rare I pass up a chance to see U2 (they're my other favorite band), but I knew I'd have to miss part of Solid Sound and a chance to hang out with friends I don't get to see too often to go. It was a tough decision, though! I remember probably about 10 years ago the Edge and his guitar tech Dallas were spotted at a Nels show. I'll be scanning the VIP sections at Mass MoCA on Saturday! I'm doing GA for the Philadelphia show and got a seat for Pittsburgh, so I'll be able to get my fill of U2 in my home state. I'm really hoping for Courtney Barnett and Deerhoof. It would also be cool to s

Sorry, but no matter how you prefaced this post, it was clearly directed at me. Unfortunately, I don't have bottomless pockets, and during the school year it's extremely difficult for me to travel for shows if I have to teach the next morning. Philadelphia is a much easier two hour trip for me than DC is for reasons I don't feel obligated to get into here. I've always had to travel to see Wilco and gladly do so when it's feasible. I'd like to see them in a city that, by the time the tour happens, they won't have played for a few months shy of six years. If that makes me entitled, or not as har

If they skip Philadelphia (yet again), I'm not going to get to see them. DC isn't feasible for me because I have to teach early the next morning. I know they can't play everywhere on every tour, but their last non-festival show there was 2010. From the comments on their Facebook posts, I can tell I'm not the only one who's frustrated.

Divorce him.

Alabama Shakes and Drive-By Truckers

The heck with Europe. They haven't played a full-length, non-festival show in Philadelphia since 2010!

I don't think it was lack of effort as much as it was probably being overwhelmed by the number of questions and wanting to do as much as he could in the little time he had. He's also not really a big technology guy. His social media accounts are mostly if not entirely run by his publicists. It's just not his thing. I asked him once why he wasn't on Facebook, and he said something like "If I joined Facebook, it's all I would ever do! I would just lay in bed all the time with my laptop!"

That's probably what Nels said when they told him about it!

A reminder (because I almost forgot!) that our league draft is at 4:30 EST today.

I was supposed to be gone for all of August, so I didn't get a ticket for the Merriweather shows when they went on sale. When my plans changed, I figured I could get a lawn ticket at the last minute. Tomorrow night sold out before I could

We used to do a VC league every season, but they stopped a few years ago. I'm glad to see the tradition starting up again. I'm the Laminated Cats.

Excellent album from start to finish, both sonically and lyrically. It's weird that I hear bits of previous Wilco songs here and there but yet it's something totally different in a lot of ways. I think it's funny that there's a cat on the cover, because one of mine was totally freaked out by most of it!

I'm getting excited for this weekend, and I'm still really hoping for Saturday GAs. Between two Facebook groups, Interference, and dozens of checks to the Ticketmaster app, hopefully I'll get lucky! U2 was my favorite band pretty much my whole life until I heard Nels play jazz guitar. Like any long-term friendship, it fades in and out. There was a period in my life when I listened to them almost constantly. I went a few years without really listening to them at all and completely missed the last tour (I opted to see Patti Smith on the night I could have seen them in Baltimore...no regrets th

We were about 10 rows back on Pat's side Friday night, and the guy in front of us farted on me for half the show, even after I started making comments about it. Thankfully, we were able to move closer to center for the second half of the show...where I had a really drunk guy put his arm around me for a singalong during Passenger Side. Thankfully, he was the amusing, harmless kind of drunk. My boyfriend recorded Stained Radiance's set as best he could given there was so much happening at once. He has it up on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWx6W-Lmbko He also has a few Cibo Matto

I'll freak out if they play Two Hearts Beat As One again. I think the last time they played it was in December of 1989. We have 200-level seats for July 19. I'm really hoping they do a ticket drop in the next few weeks for the first night. I'd love to go both nights we'll be in New York, but GA is all I can afford at this point. This will be my first time seeing U2 since the Buffalo show in 2005. I had tickets for the first leg of 360, but life got in the way and I had to sell them. I wasn't too keen on the new album at first, but something finally clicked. I've had it in my car stereo fo

This was my fourth Solid Sound and my boyfriend's first. We had a great weekend! I think it was my favorite both in terms of the Wilco performances and in terms of the other acts we saw. I love seeing Cibo Matto again, and Charles Lloyd's quartet with Bill Frisell was another highlight. Stained Radiance was so different than the other time I saw them. The whole tone of the performance seemed a lot darker, and I thought the dancers made it a lot more intense. My big disappointment was that there were a lot of conflicts with things we wanted to see. We lined up really early for Stained Radiance

I'm really sad that staying for all of Nels' Sunday performance will likely mean having to miss Glenn's performance, since the space will probably be filled by the time we get over there.

I'm outside of Harrisburg. I actually teach at the Penn State campus here. I was off at grad school when they were playing the colleges here--and it figures that they played Tallahassee right after I left and Jeff played a 5 minute walk from where I used to live in Ithaca last fall and Nels is playing there in the fall. If I move, they'll probably play here next!

A lot of you are lucky! I'm pretty sure Wilco will never play in south central Pennsylvania. Shortest: Merriweather Post Pavilion (90 minutes) Longest: UIC Pavilion, Chicago (11ish hours from where I was living then, if I remember correctly) I also once drove 16 hours to Columbia, MO, to see the Nels Cline Singers.
