Three in A4 row 10.  Pretty happy.  Passed on pit.  Way too long of a day to be camped out on a postage stamp.

Sunday was an absolutely perfect day. Drove down from Milwaukee with a couple of friends (we all got a free pass from the wives-I always get one, they don't). We were about 20 people deep from the stage for the whole day. I was so grateful that it wasn't like last week's weather. Very comfortable. Not too crowded. Loved the setlist. It was fun that they got things rocking right away. Art of Almost was a highlight for me. What a great tune to see live. I bet they could draw it out to 15 minutes if they were given the time.

We had great friends around us too. I have a tendency to fly solo at shows, getting as close to the rail as possible. No need on Sunday. It was perfect.

Loved Andrew Bird's set as well.

Monday was a very tough day after three hours of biking, six hours of driving, and four hours of music. Totally worth it.

Did you look on the venue website? That's usually a good place to start: http://www.kccougars.com/stadiumrulres.html. The FAQs might be helpful too. Or just calling them and asking.

That doesn't help much as I'm not going to a baseball game. The last time I checked, fans were not on the field during baseball games.

I'm guessing cameras are a no, but what about blankets and chairs????

I'd like to know if I can bring chairs, a cooler, camera, etc. I've looked everywhere for information.

Very excited for this show.

Another good setlist. Liked the Black Bull Nova-Black Moon. Maybe it's just me, but I'm finding the first encores (second set) to be kind of a letdown. They could be a bit more epic Spiders (Kidsmoke) needs to be added. Theologians too. They obviously have a huge catalog, but I think they're overplaying the new album a bit. I'm sure other will disagree.

Super Nick Lowe set

Just read that the band brought people from obstructed view seats in Minneapolis up to the front. Same thing happened in Milwaukee. Six people who were sitting in the very last row of the balcony were brought to the front row right in front of Nels (and also in front of me).

This band is special for sure.

 

 

you serious?

 

What Whole Love tour show didn't have a lot of Whole Love songs? hahaha

Eight off the album. I guess that's pretty standard.

Best show of the Whole Love tour so far, hands down.

Ya think??? I thought it was a great show. Too much The Whole Love. Can't Stand It, Misunderstood, and Far Far Away were highlights.

It was a great show but the heavy hand with The Whole love left me flat

at times. Like the album a lot, but eight track is a little bit overkill. Loved the handful of rarities.

Highlight were the opening five which I had predicted in that order Far, Far Away and Can't Stand It.

I have a signed copy of Vol II as well as a signed copy of DeadBase VIII. I didn't know they were worth anything.

No crying here. I had two tapers in back of me on the floor on 4/14 (and one on 4/15).

I'm still waiting on the Dec 28th My Morning Jacket show from the Chicago Theater

It looks like every other show is available at bt.etree.org.

This is true. Now if Milrock could only get a great Chinese or Thai or Middle Eastern place... (I was spoiled for years in Minneapolis by Rainbow (Chinese), King & I (Thai) and Holy Land (Mid East)).

Word about Minneapolis. I went to grad school there. Rainbow is amazing. So is Seafood Palace, Shuang Cheng, Ruam Mit in St. Paul, and Yangtze. I miss Chicken w/Nuts from Yangtze, Black Bean dumplings from Rainbow, and salt baked lobster, crab, or shrimp from Seafood Palace.

Boy have I digressed.

i dont understand the Mexican food comment. We have Mexicans that live here. They make authentic food. We have quality Mexican markets here like El Rey.

Milwaukee has a large Latino community. There are wonderful Mexican restaurants all over the Southside.

Skip the Safe House. If coming from the south, hit Koz's Mini Bowl for a drink and then Conejitos for some cheap mexican food and margaritas.

I'm 6'6" and 285 and I'll be STANDING right in front of you if you are in Row H, seats 5-8 on both nights

I think there will be a lot of standing and some sitting. There is no pit, so people really don't have to stand.

I'm not 6'6" or 285, but i do have a big bald head and shoulders that create a solar eclipse.

Lakefront Brewery is a must. The guides there are absolutely hilarious. I don't even drink and I had a good time. Good root beer! Eight of us from the Lollapalooza message board went on the River Brewery Cruise last summer. We went to The Ale House, Lakefront Brewery, and Rock Bottom. Lakefront is in a class by itself.

I got 2 in row c for the 14th and 2 in row d for the second night! So lucky!

That's unreal. Good mojo.

There aren't any bad seats at The Pabst. INTIMATE

Snap.

Serious tool ^

I wasn't going to drive down to Chicago from Milwaukee and pay scalpers prices (or not). I could have bought tickets on Craigslist for any night, but $100 was usery.

Caseydog, if I could relive those shows, the only change I'd make is to bring you as my guest.

How nice, and I don't even think I know you!

My only memory is getting completely shut out of any tickets for the five shows. I'm still miffed.

oh man Turner is great. I was at that black keys show and I remember the sound being great. I've seen probably ten or so shows there and the sound is always excellent.

But I think I'd rather see wilco at the Pabst versus Turner

I beg to differ. I have seen probably 8-10 shows at Turner Hall and find it to be only marginally better than the sound at the Rave (not Eagles Ballroom-that is THE WORST). Turner has a muddy sound and they really can't alter the acoustics at all. It's a historic building.

The Pabst will be incredible for Wilco.

The Rave is probably the worst venue I've ever seen a show at. After seeing Andrew Bird and Wilco there a couple years back and hearing nothing but echos the entire show, I have vowed never to go back there regardless of who's playing.

 

Worst. Venue. Ever.

 

Thank god for the Pabst.

Agreed. The recording I have of the show is surprisingly good. The Pabst is one of the finest venues anywhere in the country. What a treat.

I spent four hours of my life on the presale and regular sale days trying to get tickets to ANY of the Residency shows. No luck. Maybe one of you is seeking good karma for an extended period of time and are willing to part with 2, 3, or 4 tickets. I know it's a long shot. I'll make it worth your while!

Thanks

I would love to go for a variety of reasons:

1. I spent five hours on the presale and regular sale days to no avail. Ticketmaster was not very helpful at all.

2. I would like to see Wilco for the first time in their hometown.

3. I'm a really good guy and would be happy to buy you an adult or other beverage. I THINK my wife and daughter would attest to the good guy thing.

Thanks
