I received my 6/12 Cinci pre-sale tickets today from FG via UPS . So, the "4 weeks ahead of the concert date" promise held up for mine quite well.

So, I heard this live last summer (Indy / Aug). I recall it having a really cool prog-rock kind of chord progression / break down in the middle or toward the end, but I don't think that the studio version has that.

Does that ring a bell with anyone else?

Did everyone rank 1-3, or just post three favorites? I'm debating how to tally this. Might just have to do total votes if people didn't post in order. Hmm.

I thought it was chronological. Wrong thread?

More piano and less noise?

I was kinda making a funny, since that was the opening line from the IATTBYH movie. Maybe it's not as inane as I thought it was. Maybe I should look up "inane".

I need more piano

You see, this is where I am having a conflict with my "abstaining" issue.

 

I am going to this Cinci show.

 

So I think I am going to have to cave and listen to the stream before the show, so I know the new songs before I hear them in Cinci. Then I will be able to fully realize how amazing the live performance is, which is one of the many things that I love about Wilco -- the live shows.

 

I'll just consider it as doing my homework!

 

Not really caving out of weakness. Right? RIGHT?

I have had a similar mental wrestling match (aka "rationalization session"). And after a few days of avoiding the issue.....

I caved.

bittorrented it this morning .. on the Ipod and a CD for the car... and I plan to listen to it a lot and learn all the songs before Cinci.

So there. Feel free to join. And I'll see ya in Cinci, btw!

Man, that Jacob dude really gets around.

This was a way more interesting question when I put it up here 27 hours ago... what a difference a day makes.

Still abstaining, fwiw.

Happy Birthday, man. And to your Dahooey as well.

Weak, people. Just weak.

There wasn't a "What new album?" option.

There is now... thanks.

Well? What do you think will happen between now and June 30?

So, the Cinci show is June 12, and looks like a one-stop warm-up for Bonnaroo on the 13th after they get back from Europe.

In looking at Andrew Bird's tour, he is also playing at Bonnaroo (14th). His date prior to that is June 8 in Colombia, MD.

So.........

It seems only logical that AB would stop by in Cinci to have a one-night warmup with his Wilco buds before the Roo fest.

I approve. Tony, call Andrea and do lunch.

That is all. Carry on.

Gee, why the sudden lack of interest in this thread?

I had no idea you two were twins.

Happy Birthday! !

This is the first thing I thought of when I saw the cover :

there will be tables and chairs

there'll be pony rides and dancing bears

there'll even be a band

Camel rides. Brilliant. But apparently, the band split.

Oh, I know. I was nervous as a cat all evening. And i had a conference call back home at 9, so I was sweating that too. So I snuck out at about 10 till and got all set up, and BAM! row CC in the pit! The internet generally behaves fine here, but you never know.

I saw the last show at the Aranoff, and was about in the 5th row (non-pit), which were great seats. Row B will be great.

Here in China for two weeks; one down, one to go. Fascinating as always. A little trouble sleeping...

I starting pinging it around 955, and got in before 10. Got third row pit dead center. I was shocked, but in a good kind of way. Actually still shocked. I am in China, so I was worried that I would be somehow identified to be a bot or something. Maybe I got the coveted "Asian Allocation".

are the pics from tonight, or just stock?

Yeah, I'm done being a smartass now.

Liar liar, pance on fire.

Damn... I wonder what the odds are of a St. Louis show or something between Cincinnatti and Oklahoma City

They have that Bonnaroo thingie on the 13th between the 12th in Cinci and the 15th in OKC. Sorry.

But WOO-HOO for the Cinci show ! !

Oh, yeah. Many happy returns of the day, sooie.
