No GA at the State Theatre in Minneapolis...I've used Frontgate and have had Orchestra Pit tix for this venue in the past.

Did get the presale reserved seats just now for St.Paul, didn't think it was going to happen as the Chicago presale was tough to get into and eventually bought via ticketmaster (ugh!!)

Where'd you get tickets?

Front Gate but the reserved tix level wasn't offered at the point of purchase, just the general admission.

I bought four tix for Roy Wilkins, all general admission floor. Is the floor open like a 1st Avenue show?

I maybe wrong, but I think we may have too much time on our hands. I know Tweedy et tal are probably very specific about the sound and all aspects of how they want their records to sound but if it is so awful sounding it wouldn't be released, backed, promoted or a tour supporting it. Hey our record is piss poor sounding, cool, come buy tix to our live piss poor sound...doesn't make a lot of sense. Obviously, the crew here, has a higher standard, but not everyone buying this record has the audio equipment means or time, beyond downloading (legally) into an mp3, fortunately or unfortuately, and still enjoys the art produced.

This was my seventh Wilco show and by far the best. I was a huge fan walking into Northrop, and now I'm not sure what I'm going to do because I didn't know I could like them even more.

 

Northrop rocked (well, it was OKAY). It's been a long time since I remember the band outwardly having that much fun with each other and with the audience. Such a great give-and-take between performer and crowd tonight. I would be curious to see a printed setlist because it seemed like they were having quite a few discussions between songs as the night went on - every moment just got better and better. The sound in there was perfect. The banter was hilarious. I've never seen Nels bow in appreciation of his fans that many times in one night, Pat was off in la-la land (in a good way) and when Kotche stood up and hailed the balcony before rocking out on -what was it?- I'm The Man Who Loves You? Did I mention the banter?

 

Supersweet. My only question is - why does every venue I go to seem to have strict curfew? Can't we just keep rocking?

 

Can't wait for a recording. Would really appreciate a PM as soon as it's available, but I'll try to check all the proper places.

Glenn Kotche and John Stiratt were at 1st Avenue for Spoon. Hence, the one encore probably.
