I came here to wonder outloud / into the void about what the recent moves outdoors mean for Jeff's solo shows in Brooklyn. I either need to get comfortable being uncomfortable (and find a place to stay and think about a way to get there), or bail on these shows. Part of me wants the shows postponed or cancelled so that I don't need to think about it.

Sorry - sold them late this afternoon! I'll delete/ close the post. Good luck finding tickets.

Hi - selling 2 to the MassMOCA benefit SUNDAY show. I moved my tickets from the Saturday to the Sunday show but still probably won't make the drive from Boston. Early bird pricing.

Thanks for the great write-up as always. Sad to be missing this - especially with that kind of set list, Courtney Barnett, and YLT coming up.

We Were Lucky is truly amazing live. And this live version of Laminated Cat is the best I can remember. There's so much intensity in both those songs - I was exhausted after each. Between the 2 Boston shows, I have to say I enjoyed the first night a bit better (in the context of both being incredibly enjoyable). Perhaps it was just that it was the first time hearing most of the OTJ songs as full-band versions (and most of them for the first time altogether), but I also just really enjoyed the first 1:00-1:10 of the first night where the entire setlist seemed all-tension, no-release.

Re: the "graffiti guitar" - that's the same one he used on most OTJ songs in Boston. Before Boston, I hadn't seen it - pretty sure it was not at Solid Sound.

Jeff was great at Newport. I didn't write down the setlist. Banter highlight for me was as he introduced Don't Forget: "Oh what a beautiful day. Here’s a song about my dead dad" I was also at the Mavis aftershow. It was stellar - a real highlight overall of the weekend. Jeff sat in on Who Told You That. They had set up a mic for him but he didn't say anything or speak, which I thought was a bit odd ... also thought it a bit odd he didn't sit in a bit more given their relationship, but everyone was 1 song and out that night, and I'm not complaining. I have the setlist from M

Katie Crutchfield was pop-up-only in 2017 I think?

Bull Moose in Maine got more copies, I just bought one online a moment ago.

Does Pat post his upcoming sessions/sit-ins/collaborations anywhere?

Correct - they did subbed out New Madrid and did We've Been Had in its place.

It's depressing to be done with this year's Newport Folk Festival and not have next year's Solid Sound on the calendar yet. I'd be much happier if this weekend's "summer hiatus" email had given any hints/reassurances that SS would return in 2017.

sorry, sold earlier this afternoon. I'll close/delete the topic. Good luck!

I have one extra Orchestra seat for the Saturday Boston show. Orch row G left-center, 5 seats off the main aisle. Make an offer!

Last night's times were William Tyler at 8 for about 30 minutes, then Wilco at 9, and off stage around 11:30p.

I have 2 singles I no longer need (I got a pair in regular onsale). Orch G and Orch K. These are printed/mailed tix, so I would get them to you as soon as Crowdsurge/Songkick mails them to me.

I can sell a single - found a pair for myself in today's onsale.

I have 2 separates I could offer. Was able to get a pair together for myself this AM. Let me know if interested.

I have 2 singles on the floor for Saturday. If am able to find a pair I am happy with, I'll have extras - I will ping you after the next onsales if I am able to help.

They certainly are. It will be "interesting" to see how full the show is, and how the secondary market prices evolve. It's such a large chunk of seats.

I was curious on the Boston show -- so far, Stubhub is showing 533 seats available. Orpheum capacity is 2700, so roughly 20% of the tickets are being resold on Stubhub alone. Crazy. With that kind of scalper presence I am pretty happy to have gotten anything at all for the show (middle/rear of orchestra), but this is ridiculous.

Does anyone know what time the Pickens aftershows tend to end?

What a great high-energy show this is, wow.

Loving this. The music itself, the surprise release of it, the post-Solid Sound gift.

Tickets went on sale this morning for Newport Folk Festival 2015. I have 3-day passes (not early bird, despite being online at the right time), and it will be my first time going. I dislike music festivals in general but the Solid Sound experiences have been amazing, so I'm willing to give NFF a shot too since every year I look at the line-up and am sad I missed out. Questions for folks who have been at both: how does the vibe compare between NFF and Solid Sound? What's better / worse about NFF? Does NFF feel "bigger?" Easier/harder to get close to the various stages to see the music?
