The most unsettling thing for me with Wilcos Indy stand is,this is the first time i have ever had to endure people criticizing my favorite band. (even though it's mostly coming from people that have know idea who Wilco is, and have never listened to a song they have played.) In the 15 years i have followed them, even people who didn't like the music of the band never really said anything nasty about them. But i guess that's where we are with social media. It's so easy to hate when you hide behind a keyboard.

I was wondering when all the trolls would take the time to find this hallowed site! This one even took the time to look at the tour schedule!

Just think what the backlash will be once the conservative faction on the facebook thread realizes that Loose Fur's "The Ruling Class" has Wilco connections. That might piss them off even more then the boycott.

i wonder when stub hub is going to close the sale of those $260 pit seats down?

i hope they don't cancel the Dallas gig because we have a war criminal in GW living down the street from the venue.

i have never camped, but i do think this is the first time this camping service have been made available. But i also don't remember anyone ever describing the camp area looking as lush and inviting as the SS marketing photo for this camping service. It does seem like a very nice service for festivals but also very profitable for this company. I wish i would have thought of it first! http://www.theshowsherpa.com

Does anyone else think $195 per night for a pre pitched tent, Cots, lawn chairs, A.M. coffee and ice is a bit excessive? I'm paying much less then that for a B&B in Williamstown! WTF? I sure hope the concessions at SS sound are in line; price wise, as the past three.

Wood Brothers tonight and back to back nights with the Avett Brothers Friday and Saturday in Dallas.

In 2013 the lineup was announced on Valentines Day.

Heading down South Texas 281 Jack White Austin Music Hall!

I for one think MMJ would be a good fit. If for nothing else from my exposure to their fans, they seem to be on the same page as Wilco fans as far as being "laid back" and "socially conscious" of their fellow man. The thing i love most about the festival, besides the music, is being around some pretty cool people for three days. MMJ fans will fit right in, most of them love Wilco too.

Just found this beauty yesterday! Talking Heads - Full Concert - 11/04/80 - Capitol Theatre (OFFICIAL)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-_PC6TlIhs

BTW ticketmaster is letting you pick your own seats now 2 hours after general sales, and it shows only 20 scattered singles mostly in the third balcony up for grabs. There are about 250 seats on stubhub so i don't think the scalpers had a lot to do with the quick sale. I just think people are starting to figure out Wilco is a bad ass band! SMU does have some pretty smart people roaming that campus not to mention the band has not played around here in a number of years.

i already had a pair from a friend in the presale on the 6th row so i'm good. I was just trying to get some for some other friends that aren't so good at the getting tickets as i have been known to be. It's the first time i have ever been shut out in both pre and regular sales for any show i have wanted to go to!

i got the same results! Either Wilco is getting more popular around here or ticketmaster sucks more then i have always known!

Here is a explanation with a slide show i did from SSF #1 with my audio recording from Saturday's set. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbQh7t8UEwc

i was thinking that it would be two nights with Wilco and that last day Tweedy (the band). I would think with the recent release they would have to headline one day. Any way they choose who and what to perform is cool with me. I have not been disappointed before with any of the SS fests. Even the museum art exhibits have improved from fest to fest.

Your good health is on my Christmas wish list. :-) Peace and love to the Tweedy and Wilco family's.

i just pre-ordered my copy and included Lucinda Williams Car Wheels in my order which got me free shipping.

I just ordered the new Ryan Adams and John Hiatt from them in September and all was good.

Just booked my flight using reward miles. Finally they the dates of the festival now close enough to book! It will be here and gone before we know it.

I sent a note to the seller asking for more info. I guess it's possible for a Friday show coming from Tulsa to Austin. He has to go through Fort Worth.

anyone know what this is all about? http://dallas.craigslist.org/ftw/tix/4522001493.html

I have never been but i ask a friend who saw Costello there a year or so ago, and he said it's a fairly small room with no chairs and he doesn't remember a balcony. Prepare to arrive an hour before the doors open if you want to be close was his advise.
