Overall great show, the acoustic set was a nice break. The "Oh Yeah", "That's it", "Holy Shit" kids were behind me the whole first set, they seemed to lose their minds every time Nels grabbed the guitar. Then they started to do some sort of head bang that I have not seen since the 90's. Part of me applauded their enthusiasm, maybe on of their first concerts, the other part of me was getting annoyed. Luckily they moved after the set break. Impressive crowd for Miami, was worried since my last shows were the residency shows and those were memorable but this was a very good time.

I had the pleasure to meet John after the last night of the Riviera shows at the Green Mill. We got to talking, he asked where I was from. Once I said FL, he commented on how cold i must have been (normal reaction when you tell anyone you live in Florida) and then he said he would really love some warm weather. Then he paused and made a comment on how they have not been to Florida in such a long time. I tried to stress the point that we would love for them to come down and that they should have made it a stop on the spring tour before it gets too hot. At least he knows that Wilco fans sti

226 and 227 are my personal favorites. Hanging out with John and Pat and some of the crew was my highlight to the 5 nights. Seeing the guys let loose and be casual normal guys after being rock gods for 5 nights was so great.

I will be coming in solo from Miami for all 5 nights, would love to try and meet up with other fellow fans. First time to Chicago, can't wait for Friday to come.

I am heading to chicago for the first time to check out the shows next week. Are there any bars near by that people might meet up before or anywhere to go after the show since I think I will be so psyched after each night I would live to be around some other fans.
