I really hope somone tapes this for youtube, as I'm in London and have no way of seeing SNL. SOB. Take pity on my, our tour was cancelled.

When they played this on the last night of the residency, everyone laughed during the 'run out of metaphors' line - did Jeff make a face or something?

That's a 6am wakeup for me! I wonder how long they're playing? I have to leave for work around 8, sour. Still! Will be worth it.

best idea ever!

Don't worry petal Anyway you're going to be nervous about that so as below, just get there super early!

That would be awesome! I'm just hoping for a European tour now. They are probably the best live band I've ever seen.

Hello there. Was I ever gutted to not be able to get tickets for these shows - I'd planned to fly over from London, spend time over there for the gigs, then visit the family in Wisconsin but alas it was not to be. I am positive this is going to be one of the most amazing experiences ever! I also super selfishly hope they stream it or someone manages to record it in some way. I'd be happy to stay up till silly o'clock GMT and go to work sleepy and happy if it mean I could take part in some tiny way. Anyway, fingers crossed I'll get to see them again soon. In the meantime listening to lot

On & On is almost too sad for me to listen to. I think the last time I did, I cried solidly for about a half an hour.

Can you please email me? I really would love to go, and for many reasons I can outline for you. I would be flying out from London. And visiting my family in Wisconsin afterwards. This would be the whole world to me. Can you send me a message via this board and I will email you? Thank you Rebecca

When Jeff sings 'some side with the leaves, some side with the seeds', it makes me want to cry my eyes out.

OH WAIT. It's TODAY they are on genearl sale and that' when I'm going to be at the stupid theatre. Oh Wilco, why did you have to cancel your UK tour? ARGH. Oh well. a tiny part of me wants to fly to Chicago anyway and see if I can beg borrow or steal tickets... off to the pub to get HIDEOUSLY DRUNK.

Well that's me buggered. I see on the site it says the presale is over. And no 5 day tickets left. I could try to get individual tickets from 12 tomorrow but I seem to have no ticket mojo. Guess I won't be '...coming home, via Chicago' anymore. Great, now I'm crying. Awesome.

Hmm..if I don't get them in the next half hour I won't get them at all, as it's nearly 5pm and I made theatre plans and I have to meet people and AAREGH screw living in London I tell you.

it's sold out already? shitnuts. :S

argh its NOT WORKING.

hee! I know the feeling. At least I've made plans to bail the work Xmas party and am going to pub to either drink a toast of yay or drown my sorrows!

ARGH ten minutes - my guts are CHURNING!

35 minutes. I'M DYING FOR REAL.

less than an hour now...this. is. TORTURE.

Now that I've totally psyched myself into it, if I don't manage to get a 5 day pass in a few hours time I'm going to be SO GUTTED. Cause I suppose it will be even more of a palaver trying to get individual tickets before *they* sell out. ARGH. All day at work I've been jittery and nervous. Meep. It's now 2:30pm, just an hour and a half to go til its 10am CST...

I was going to post someting similar. I'm (hopefully) coming from London. So nervous about being able to get tickets! But yeah, I can offer my service as a pretty fine vegetarian / vegan cook and will happily contribute in whatever way I can.

I'm in London now But I'm really talking myself into it because the pound is so strong at the moment, the tickets are so cheap! For gettnig to hear them do ALL THEIR SONGS!

Hello all - just joined, first post! I'm from Wisconsin orginally but moved to England in 1996. At the time, all my favourite bands were English so I was pretty stoked to be able to see them live. Now it happens that my favourite band are based in Chicago, of all places! Anyway, I got sad reading about the residency as the UK tour was cancelled and I medically require Wilco gigs! This may be the craziest idea ever, but I might just get the 5 ticket deal and fly out. I have no idea where I'd stay but at least there's plenty of time to try to find a place! Anyway! For you Chicago people
