Madcap

does anyone who's seen a show at the Petrillo during the taste remember how late they usually go?  Seems like the other stage shuts down at 7:45, will that hold true for the Petrillo stage as well?

small price to pay for new Tweedy prior to the album release.  pre-ordered.

Sweet, really hope they have copies available at the chicago show!

I got shut out of the initial lottery, but got an email for second chance tickets yesterday and was able to pick up a pair.  also curious as to how the GA thing is going to work.  I'm hoping that they just haven't figured out the seat numbers yet and they'll be issued when the tickets are mailed or something like that.

New Madrid, Pieholden Suite and Cars Can't Escape are the 3 songs I want to hear every time I go to these shows for the last 8 years so this was a great start. Better show than last night for sure.

that was indeed awesome.  I don't know how he or any performer deals with the crowd yelling at him during an intimate performance like that, I would freak out every show haha.

Fun show as always. I am continually surprised that people wait in line in the cold for hours to make their request and they pick something random like a zeppelin tune. Why not a Tweedy original rarity like Pieholden Suite?

How does this work? Do people just show up and if there's room they let you in? How early do you think I'd need to get there to see Jeff?

So iron and wine are headlining Friday and only getting 45 minutes? can that be right that they'd have that short a set?

since this show starts at 5:30, has fireworks afterwards and is on a sunday night, will it end earlier than a normal show? debating driving out from the city for it, but I don't want to be getting home at midnight on a work night.

I figured out the whole torrent thing because I wanted to hear this show again so badly, so I wanted to share the mp3 version for the not so tech savvy folks like myself. Hopefully this link works!

awesome. what are the odds that someone captures the stream and posts it somewhere?

if anyone could put this (and the other) shows up on sendspace/media fire for us non-torrent folks, i'd appreciate it!

Oh, I also hope the band doesn't wait another 2 years to come back! When they're mixing things up like this, I could see them every weekend.

Please share a link when it's posted. I'm looking for the Opera and Metro shows as well yet. I personally loved the slow song heavyness of the show, but I can see where someone may not want that as a one off show. Maybe it was the mood I was in at that point, but it was just about perfect. Pieholden Suite would have put it over the top!

Just a tremendous show. Watching from the hallway at LH is much preferred to the hall at the Metro! Definitely agree with the acoustic benefit vibe, very laid back, lots of deep cuts. Highlights were basically the first 11 songs and Spiders.

The metro is one of my favorite venues, I just think the over soldness of it probably caused some problems that may have otherwise not happened.

We watched the show in the hallway by the bar and there was a drunk girl that kept trying to start a fight with anyone who would try to get by her to get into the ballroom, like this was the first GA show she'd ever been to. It was the most obnoxious thing I've ever seen at a concert and definitely affected my enjoyment for the first 30 minutes while everyone was settling in. Of course, by the end of the show, she was the one barging in front of people and yelling at them, drunken hypocracy at it's finest. It was a fun show with a stellar setlist and I love the metro, but they definetly over sold the place which probably had a lot to do with all of the angry people in there. I'm just glad that most everyone else was cool and composed so that the situations never elevated to full blown fisticuffs. Hopefully LH is just as good musically and much better from a crowd/comfort perspective.

awesome show as everyone has noted. Highlights for me included Hell is Chrome, Radio Cure (!), ALTWYS, Say You Miss Me, Summerteeth, Magazine Called Sunset and Kicking Television. Really high energy show, even Jeff noted after Magazine Called Sunset "that was fast".

One question I had though was what was up with the poster? I was expecting it to keep with the theme of the exterior of the venue, but instead we get a picture of what looks to be a statue of a woman's face. I'm assuming it has something to do with the details in the Vic, but i've never noticed it before. May be a moot point since it's not yet for sale on the Kung Fu store, but I was kind of disappointed.

So the people that bought tickets from that guy weren't able to get in right? A friend of mine wants to sell his tickets to a coworker, but I told him that I didn't think there was any way to do that. Did they check IDs at the door? Maybe he could give her his credit card haha.

has anyone noticed at the last 2 shows if the provide a poster tube if you buy the print? I'd like to pick them up at the Vic, Metro and LH, but if they don't have tubes, i'll just hold out and order online.

Kind of surprised that this one took 20 minutes longer to sell out than the Metro given the respective capacities. Hopefully they didn't oversell the place. Should be a great show either way!

any idea if there will be balcony-only pricing like last year or if all tickets will be one price?

I would love a PM of this as well. Why hasn't this and Dark Neon been made available as bonus content for W(TA) like The Thanks I Get and One True Vine were for SBS???

holy crap! that seriously might be the greatest album cover of all time!
