    Jeff East Coast solo shows

    in Just A Fan

    Posted

    Are you serious? Jeff has let you down!A compact what world do you live in? Jeff Tweedy has provided us with some of the best music of the last 10 years. Roger Waters charges $200 to $250 to see him fake the wall and you are worried about Jeff letting you down for $45 dollars for a night of great music. A movie is $15 dollars a pop, baseball tickets are $100 and a book is $25 grow up and either pony up the $45 or stop your whining. Jeff has let me down thats rich- rofl

     

    sorry but i don't live in a world where roger waters is a barometer for what's fair, and it all honesty it was probably bowerypresents that named the price and age limit but doesn't someone of jeff's stature have the power to name the conditions of such a short tour?

    I think you need to sign up at Jeff's section of Frontgate Tickets. There isn't a link to it right at the moment, but I'm sure Wilcoworld will update the page and we will be given a proper link, so stay tuned. :thumbup

     

    This is Wilco's link: I don't know what Jeff's is.

    How much longer until you're 21?

     

    i'm 19 now, i've seen wilco the band 6 times i think and jeff solo twice. bowery ballroom is almost always 18+. seems to me like there was a decision made to make it 21+ although i don't know the process. also i dont think i've ever paid more than 40-45 dollars to see wilco, let alone at a small venue like bowery, it's just confusing to me that a jeff solo show would cost 45+ fees. i always thought of wilco as a band that went out of their way to be super respectful to their fans (see solid sound festival) and to not be wasteful and greedy and stuff, and i know i'm asking a lot, i know i've seen wilco twice this year and jeff once this year already and i'm being spoiled, but the show details are disheartening to say the least. i honestly thought that i wouldn't have to worry about age limits anymore once i turned 18 and got a fake ID but i would kind of feel like an idiot paying 50-something dollars to show up at the door of bowery ballroom and get turned around w/o a refund. this whole thing just seems like a reactionary move - you know maybe jeff and wilco are like gonna start touring less and will need to charge more per show in order to support themselves, or maybe there's something extravagant planned for these solo shows that's worth 45 dollars, but i personally think it violates a compact that's been building between wilco and its fans and that's also been self-advertised by wilco (see ashes of american flags dvd). anyway. maybe jeff will open for yo la tengo the night before cause i have tickets for that, but regardless it will be bittersweet because i think for the first time in my life jeff has let me down and my unequivocal love for wilco has always been based on the fact that they haven't ever and won't ever let me down

     

    okay thanks for reading

    Faxman, I know you were trying to sell your ticket due to some problems. Hope you didn't do it yet, because as cool as that Lollapalooza set might've been, I suspect that a grownup solo set will be even better. And for their very own festival, with everyone there "superfans"? Holy shit, just imagine being able to feed off all that crowd love.

     

    And speaking of superfan (as I was) isn't Kristin Schaal the obsessed stalkerish fan on Flight of the Conchords? She should be able to do something funny on that topic on the comedy stage!

     

    i've been to 7 wilco shows, and yes, i consider myself a "huge wilco superfan" or whatever, but my favorite part about wilco shows is that superfandom takes a backseat to the music. i've seen radiohead twice, but i have to admit, besides the music ruling forever, it's a pretty uncomfortable crowd. everyones trying to prove themselves as a bigger radiohead fan, it seems. same goes for animal collective (seen 4 times). but even reading this forum it seems like wilco superfans are in general more modest than your average superfan and maybe that's partially because there are a lot of you who aren't from like, new york city or whatever, or maybe you guys in general spend less time anonymously commenting on blogs. particularly when i saw wilco in new jersey this past april, the crowd was very boomer-heavy and everyone seemed to just be there to enjoy the music and that's it. it was awesome. my favorite wilco experience ever. maybe that's because i go to a lot of shows in nyc and it can be a kind of oppressive place to see shows, but still. i can only hope that we can keep it this cool for 3 days. it's a long 3 days, hopefully they stack the lineup a bit more, and hopefully they make it a lil more appealing to kids like me, but i'm very excited for this. i just saw the poster and it looks cool and fun and i'm bringing my family

    they were here last June.

     

    i saw them then. jeff said something like "we havent played here in a while" at the hammerstein show. its just sort of aggravating when they play an east coast tour and skip right over new york city. you think they'll play vineland?
