Found a pair, for those looking I'll likely post my extra here shortly - enjoy the shows everyone!

Let me know what's left for Brooklyn (if any) please and we can discuss possibly picking up a pair, if you have 2 for the same night still free.

Thanks!

Large crew found tickets but we are one short for my oldest son (freshman in college now) who I'd love to drag to his first Wilco show at the newly re-opened Palace (yes, we cranky old trolls who've been in New Haven for ages will likely continue to call it that until they realize their folly in renaming the place).

Also: Thank you! in advance to anyone kind enough to donate, self-immolate, nominate themselves for the darwin's, having-won-the-lottery or simply lost out on a +1 attendee and willing to find a new home for that orphaned, unwanted, red-haired, buck-toothed step-ticket.

Happy New Year

Edit: - Found, thanks! -

Thank you!

Well - getting ready to drive down to the show (long drive), but will be keeping an eye on my phone - and will go as low as $40/seat, though I won't refuse if someone insists on giving me face for them, eheh.

Text/Call/E-mail me as I will be out hunting near the stadium and keeping candles lit that the weather holds if I wind up there.

Hate to take the loss, but I will go as low as $50/ticket - just as an fyi. Thanks - and really looking forward to the show

Obviously there is little time left on these, so while I'm not in a big position (financially) to drop my price in a big way, I don't want to A. get stuck with them, or B. not help out for others in a similar situation.

My cost on these was $65/ea with fee's - but I'd consider other offers. Thanks!!

Hoping someone is able to pick these up as we've just had a group back out and VERY late in the game.

Weather is supposed to be great and the tickets are a group nearest the inner aisle facing stage-left - seats 5-8. I got them through the pre-sale and have the hard tickets in hand, but at this stage if there's time for me to overnight them to you, I will (on my dime), but it is likely easier to meet near willcall on Saturday...the rest of us are driving down from CT and staying over Friday night so we should be at the event early.

Ticket Details:

4 Tickets in total

Section 104, Row S, Seats 5-8 (Considered "Left Orchestra" section)

- I'm willing to break into pairs, but would _prefer_ not to separate into singles...obviously at this point I'm open and will consider anything.

Looking for face ($65/ticket), and sure it will be appreciated that they are good seats/view, and only ~30 rows from stage.

Feel free to ring/text my cell or shoot me an e-mail at my gmail account as well but I will be checking for PM's here all day today and tomorrow, as I'd prefer not only to see these go to someone from the site, but I'd _definitely_ prefer not to be hunting for someone to take them on Saturday at the show.

Thanks!

Not sure if anything came of this, but it's so close to the show and I just found I have 4 seats from a group of the 8 of us who are _not_ going to be able to make it.

Offering them up here - Section 104, Row S - seats 5-8, at face of course.

PM me or email me at my gmail account: fezzick51@gmail.com if you're still looking for some and we can meet up near the Willcall on Saturday, unless there's time for me to overnight them to you today...

Both tickets are still available - happy to meet prior to the show or if there's time to overnight mail them (fedex).

Also - I will be checking this all afternoon/evening - and am prepared to send the tickets (no charge) overnight tomorrow so you'll receive them Thursday.

PM me here if you're interested. Thanks!

Glad you thought so - even if some others will be stuck wanting...it's amusing to see the reaction of an old-time poster here pluck out the phrase that suited them (and no doubt has been rendered before - impotent as a weary droning).

...cheer up - honey, I hope you can.

I know we're all stuck relating to music as any other art - to paraphrase someone who said something somewhere: if it means something to you, great, if not just look away.

I agree with some others that it's fun to talk about a shared love of Wilco, and as I read some good/bad SBS comments it helped me to really see why it was I felt so damn connected to the record at the time...but let me say the album is as unique as any other - and though it may be hard to pin a work on a word I'll drop one on SBS: Reconciliation.

To back that slightly - from the get go: Either Way... "Maybe you still love me...maybe you don't - either you will or you won't" The whole record has a tone of being man enough to look a thing in the face and call it what it is...right up through the final track "However short or long our lives are going to be - I will live in you or you will live in me until we disappear together in a dream." Naturally I realize this over-simplification has flaws, but there it is.

In any case, I was in total transition, from over a decade of office work to starting some construction business and it took me from the early tides of the humid northeast New England summer out to Berkeley where I began a 6-week project that had me out in that clear blessed breeze and perpetual sun of the early bay area summer. So I had the work in my hands, the pungent smell of redwood sawdust and a burned copy of the SBS stream in my ears. Some might gag to imagine me putting that CD in at the start of the morning, and letting it run until I wrapped (after a 10-12hr day)...day after day...probably logging 3-400 full listens before I left to go back home (and see them perform them just a few weeks after the official SBS release at the Pines in Northampton, MA). The mood of it sank into my bones...the tone of those guitars and the blend of it... I loved that sometimes it let Glen have a moment or two for a brilliant riff, or Nels the chance to demonstrate his extreme and sometimes delicate virtuosity - and it's funny that the posts here about not liking certain songs tended to be the ones where they were featured more prominently. I loved feeling the blend of the band's line-up and how much it felt like a throw-back to something the late 60's or early 70's might have conjured up.

I've been a fan of Wilco from YHF (even though an old friend pushed and pushed even pre-Summerteeth for them, I just wasn't feeling it), and will admit that what grabbed me early on was Tweedy and his gloriously fragmented poetic nuggets...the sort that stick to your ribs. It was through those nuggets that I finally stopped in my tracks and let the music in. So I imagine it may be the case with other long-standing fans as well - and I have the same issue with certain songs - we expect a lot of him because we know what he _can_ deliver lyrically. Yet there are moments when he can say a thing and deliver a thing with a matter-of-fact frankness that is shocking (and plain) - but it forces us to fill in the void (emotionally) of the moment instead.

Either way, any piece of art will only ever be a glimmer of a reflection that we recognize either in the world or ourselves...for good or bad. And this record resonated in me then and now - it captured a moment for me and I will never be without those soft cool breezes, infected with ancient redwoods and the reflection that reconciliation feels ok whenever I listen to it...

Either Way (everything has it's plan), Sky Blue Sky (oh I didn't die, I should be satisfied), Hate it Here (have to keep my mind out of this, try not to pretend), Walken (the more I think about, the more I know it's true), Shake it Off (somewhere there's a war, sometimes there is art) - and even What Light...(just remember what was yours is everyone's from now on, and that's not wrong or right, and you can struggle with it all you like - you'll only get uptight)...it goes On and On and On...

Hope this was as fun to read as it was to reflect upon. SBS is worth an honest listen, which the weight of expectations can rarely uphold. And I don't mind saying (personally of course) that if I had a top 25 records (by any band) of all time, this would be in my bag on that desert island.

Sorry for pulling out but I'm sure another lucky person will be happy to have them...

I got a response from another on here and will have all I need to take care of me for the Thursday show!

Thanks for the post and good luck finding a home for them.

- Fezz

Need 2 and would gladly arrange a pickup. Will PM you with some contact info.

I'll take the pair - thank you!

fezzick51@gmail.com if you want to reach me but I'm sending a message over now.

Oldbie Wilco Fan local to New Haven, and despondent over missing this sale is in search of 2 tickets for what will be an extremely significant evening if I should get the pair.

[Girlfriend/soulmate and I fell head over heels with one another through the song 'Reservations' back in '03]

 

Needless to say - she's moving from California to CT in a week (weekend of Jan 26th) and _not_ finding a pair of tickets for what will be our first local event ever would be an utter shame (especially after she's having a hard time letting me forget my having seen Wilco at the Pines in Northhampton this past summer without her - my first Wilco show ever, and it was a religious experience).

 

If you have a pair available for us I will be forever in your debt.

 

Thanks and I'll keep my ear out!
