I had not seen Wilco yet this year - with them turning the volume down a bit - and with Jeff playing more acoustic guitar I felt like I could really enjoy what each member of the band was bringing.    A great set list for sure - Sunken Treasure was amazing, The Lonely One at the end was a nice surprise.  I don't go to as many shows as I once did - really happy I caught this one.

That pisses me off so much, I was second in line AT THE BOX OFFICE itself and the best I could get was front row of the balcony, not even the closest part either. I took them because I saw that the line next to me was selling row 20 floor seats to the FIRST person in line. It seems like they just operate a ticketmaster booth inside of the ticketbooth and don't even have some tickets for the venue itself to sell.

I didn't decide I was going for sure until just a few days ago. After getting mad at a broker's BS I checked Ticketmaster again today and got Section 1 Row 15 seats on the floor... so they must have released some just recently.

Yeah.. it sucks that you can't go to the venue and get priority for your dedication and effort.

I used to live in Rochester, 4 blocks from where they are playing. Before that I lived in Fargo. I couldn't believe it when I saw the back to back nights of Fargo and Rochester... all those times I drove so many miles to see them!

I live in Minneapolis now so will be driving that familiar Rochester to Minneapolis route in reverse this time

And Yes, the show will be amazing.

I am gonna be in Lawrence visiting my parents this wknd.. so I will be heading to the Wilco show on saturday.

From the 1st picture on their site.. it looks like the "VIP" area is just a little fenced off area to the right of the stage.. not too big a deal if you ask me.

HAS ANYONE HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT A MINNEAPOLIS SHOW?

Minneapolis used to get 2 or 3 shows per year. Those days are gone.

That being said, it would be nice to get a show atleast once in a while. They've played Duluth and Winnipeg the past two summers, and we have not had a show in close to 3 years now. I would be suprised if we don't get something soon.

We Jam Econo

Nels Cline even makes an appearance or two. He talks about playing D Boon's guitar on one of Mike Watt's albums.

two encores?!?!?

Umm.. there is always two encores.

Tonight is the final show at Mississippi Nights. If you live in or near St. Louis, it's a pretty big loss for fans of bands too small for the medium-to-large sized clubs, and too big for the smaller clubs.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mississippi_Nights:

"In early 2003, rumors began circulating that the club would close to make way for a new Casino development. The rumors were confirmed in early 2007 [1], with the last show scheduled for January 19, 2007."

A Casino? Ya, that is just what the world needs more of.

27. My Brightest Diamond - Bring Me the Workhorse

All right! Finally, a top 50 list with My Brightest Diamond. That album is totally awesome in my opinion. I saw her at 7th Entry in Nov and First Ave 2 weeks later.. totally great shows.

My only complaint is, you should move it up your list a bit

We're breezing into town for the Friday show and are looking for someplace to eat (and maybe grab a nitecap after the gig). Where do the locals recommend for a nice pre-show meal?

There is a Harold's Chicken Shack one block south of Auditorium Theatre. Atleast there was 3 years ago when I went to both shows. Oh man, I love that place. There are so many options though really...

longest misunderstood ever...

Perhaps the most nothings.. lengthwise I have a recording from 95 that goes on for 13 minutes.

Busy Bee Monkey Song

Well.. my vote is 'If That's Alright'

Nickelback, without a doubt.

Yes.. Nickelback is by far the best torture music. At a place I used worked this guy blasted Nickelback in the lab... oh man, it drove me nuts. That guys voice, whoever the lead singer is... it just makes me angry beyond belief.

And another one... with annoying drunk chick unfortunately.
