Son Volt opening for John Mellencamp. Wilco opening for REM would be in my "America's best band opening for formerly America's best band" category.

The only positive about that lineup is that you will be able to score VIP day passes on Craigslist for next to nothing on the respective Sunday's. Everyone is too tired after two days of music, throw in hot or rainy weather, a crappy lineup and you will be able to score a kick ass ticket in the VIP section on the cheap. The only way it is worth going in my opinion.

Maybe it was just me but Box Full of Letters sounded as good as it has in years. It seems like in the past, Nels has improvised a bit and added his own flair to several of the older rockers (which is totally fine) but last night it sounded like 1994 era Wilco.

Despite my concerns about the crowd it was a damn fine show. Third row center, was the closest I have been to Wilco since the gig at Antones in Austin in 1999. We ended up standing during Via Chicago and never sat down (despite a couple pleas from people behind to sit down). Not quite the set list of their October 2013 show at Stubbs (that was one for the ages) but was nice to hear some rarities nometheess. Jeff was quite talkative including remarks about how often they have played Heavy Metal Drummer and Jesus Etc. He also had a great line questioning why they set up Glenn's gong, despit

I had to eat my two extras. I couldn't give them away. Oh well, it's worth it to be 3 rows from the stage.

I just checked my Stubhub app. There are about 40 pairs of tickets for less thing $20. Two pairs for under $10. Unreal.

It's portable chairs in the lower or orchestra level and standard balcony seating up top. I was able to trade up my seats in the back for third row center (section 102, Row C). I have seen Wilco here twice when it was the Verizon, but this is the first time they have done seats on the floor.
