Madcap

Lineup is so good. Was curious to see how they would top the first one and it’s possible they did. Will definitely be going again. I mean, Spoon, Kurt Vile and Malkmus is insane. Very pumped that there’s a Nels set too, even though I wish it was the singers. Can’t wait to start familiarizing myself with the other artists.

Looks like I'll be bailing on the Trampled by Turtles show in Green Bay in favor of two nights of Dead and Company that weekend so I will likely have a gold circle ticket available if anyone is looking!

Is that date official? I don’t see it on summerfest or Wilco’s website. ope, see you can filter by date. Awesome.

Summerfest just announced their initial lineup and Wilco is a ground stage headliner. Will have to be one of the first two weekends since the third weekend is the TBT tour dates. Haven’t seen a ground show at summerfest in 20 years but I think I’ll break my streak for this!

I like that Jeff seemed relatively confident about the SK tour, but even hearing it in question has my anxiety through the roof!

Trey and Mike have both been quoted as saying summer is unlikely, maybe fall, and definitely 2022. I honestly wish they would just rip the bandaid off and cancel already if its not going to happen. I was supposed to go back to Deer Creek for the first time since 2010 and it bums me out that its likely not going to happen.

Got tickets to a handful of shows this summer. I'm really holding out hope for the two Wilco shows, I don't think anything else will end up happening. Chris Stapleton/Highwomen/Mavis - 7/17 Wrigley Phish - 8/6-8 Deer Creek Wilco/SK - 8/28 Chicago Wilco/Trampled by Turtles - 9/17 Green Bay

Nels is playing right now and it’s pretty damn great.

Well that second paragraph is certainly some news. Hell yes.

What in the world are you talking about? I am intrigued...

Damn, that looks awesome. I only saw the Horse in 2012. Hopefully they're able to get that arena tour off the ground again after the pandemic subsides.

Very curious if you preordered the vinyl box from NYA and actually received it? Mine hasn't shipped and I still haven't even received the DL code email, which is beyond frustrating, especially since I'm really excited to dive into this!

A colored vinyl version of this is now available at the Wilcostore FYI. Pretty tempting.

Do you watch the shows through the app or through the web?

Has anyone done one of the streams on bandistown to see how it works? Wish it was a one off event on YouTube or something!

Yeah that was a pleasant surprise and a good strategy since I will no doubt order a lot more than $20 worth of goods when I use it haha. just finished listening to the vinyl, it sounds so damn good. Viking Dan is without question my favorite of all of the outtakes that they’ve put out on these deluxe sets.

Finally able to crack into the vinyl, this tower records show is fantastic, despite the technical issues throughout. I really wish I would have been able to see that incarnation of the band live.

Anyone else still waiting? My tracking information showed that it was supposed to arrive on Monday the 30th and it still hasn't shown up. Getting pretty annoyed about all of this.

Damn, that’s terrifying, especially with Sue’s health issues. Hopefully everyone is ok.

Pieholden Suite!

Holy crap, I’m apparently celebrating 14 years here on thanksgiving. Love this site, thanks to all the mods and admins.

Still waiting for my confirmation #. Very frustrating, but as long as the box shows up in good condition (unlike my copy of Nels' new record which had the sleeve bent to hell and a scratch on the vinyl), it'll be all good.

Here’s what they told me this morning: We just received the color version of Summerteeth a couple days ago and were shorted what we were expecting. But we do have plans to get those shipped out very soon and you'll receive a tracking number once the USPS scans the package I’m still waiting for my digital copy of the new Nels album that they told me would come with the vinyl too, even though today is release day. I feel like their customer service is usually on point, but I’m guessing the pandemic is wreaking all sorts of havoc on their operation.

I really wanted to like this, but I gave up during IATTBYH. It's just toooooooo slow. Does it get better?
