    A Cherry Ghost
  1. Folkgirl.. it was fun to talk to a real Wilco fan at the show. My singing must not have been too bad because only one guy behind me left early. Hopefully I see you at another show soon. Maybe this weekend at Pitchfork or maybe at the next SSF. It was a great night and getting so close I feel like I actually connect with the band. That's what has been bringing me back to their shows since the July 4th show in 1996. Connection... am I the Lonely One?
  2. Bbop... apparently I was right next to you at the show. And what a show it was! Took me back to the 1st Ave days. Thought I loved these guys until I met the woman in front of me with the tattoo. Still... after 20 years... they still bring it. Thanks guys for bringing some joy into my life tonight!
  3. You're all right. I was mad that I wasn't given the opportunity. I had great seats for night one (row 5 as cheese man says) and so so seats night 2 (row 8 but all the way to the left). Row 5 came through the pre-sale and row 8 came last Thursday after checking in with various sites a few times a day for 2 months and all I had to pay was the ticketmaster fees. The exact quote from upgrade man was "I'm sorry I can't... I'm supposed to give them to... I'm sorry I just can't". It could mean a million things... I read into it. As for energy... no one is better than Nels when he gets int
  4. It happened, and it had nothing to do with projectors (except maybe that one incidence). It was the band or their management. I'm do not believe that it was to get "hotties" up front. More like a better chance of a younger crowd getting into it. A sitting first 2 rows can ruin a night for the entire venue. I understand the logic but not the practice. Auction the things off for charity, Like I said. I'm way too into the band and need to take a step back. You can even see the back of my head in the ITTBYH Documentary. I'll bet that there were at least 100 people that I personally tur
  5. The "Upgrade Guy" was part of the tour. Maybe some manager type told him how to work it, but as I see it, the manager is part of the band. It was NOT the venue. Stan at the sound board even pointed the guy out for me and said I should ask. Don't worry... I'm already getting over it and in some ways I understand it. It would be really cool to be in the upper balcony and get upgraded. The thing is... I think the die-hards (the long time followers, ardent fans etc...) will always try to get as close as possible (MF2 row 16 was available the day of the show through Ticketmaster) BUT wil
  6. Although I saw two great shows… I think that Tuesday was the better one… I have this feeling of frustration, disappointment and betrayal… The 15 year love affair is over... for now, and I feel like a little girl who’s boyfriend just broke up with her. Question… Do you believe that as a male over the age of 40, you had any chance of getting into the first 2 rows for either show? The answer is no! They have people walk around before the “support” act goes on and take people from the balcony and give them “upgrades” to the first 2 rows. Tuesday night, on one side of the stage, it was a
  7. Talk about Impossible Minneapolis? Have been to every Twin Cities show since 1996 and never been back further. 5th row on Tuesday but shut out for Wednesday. Can anyone help??? Really don't want to deal with scalpers. whitneyboy@yahoo.com
