Sun Caught Fire

Thanks for getting down the list! Only somewhat surprising in the sense that it was the first show of the tour, but I thought it was a really really great show. Jeff commented on it being the tour opener and they were tight and came ready to play and sounded like a celebration of sorts being back at it again. We sure were happy, and getting in our first Nebraska show. Crowd was loud, and Jeff went to speak before Side with the Seeds for first time but backed from mic to let the roar continue.Later on he said that the crowd was going to spoil them for the tour by being so good. And the crowd,

Yikes, only 3 more shows this year and taking most if not all of 2018 off. May have to switch my Springsteen on Broadway on 11/16 for a different date to make St. Paul. Hope Jeff tours the states.

A national treasure indeed! Much love and thanks for an ever expanding/gratifying notebook of amazing music and memorable live shows (and at 57, the memorable part ain't easy to maintain!). For some reason, 49 seemed older to me than the near relief of turning 50. It gets a bit harder to retain, but I believe in the health benefits of immaturity! All the very best and major gratitude to your better half! Steve

Agree with your sentiment about this forum. My reaction, particularly in the charged times we are currently experiencing, was to the following generalization about deadheads only being apologist "praisers" of the band: "I have found that to be an utterly pathetic and predictable trait of deadheads, and I'm sorry to see it here on a WIlco based forum." Had you made clear that the trait you observed was narrowly limited to only those you have known then so be it, and indeed unfortunate as that has never been my experience with the deadheads i have known both during my active touring years

Anyone who would type that last sentence with its unfounded generalization and personal attack worthy of the alt right is in my book a close minded asshole, here or on any other forum, though I am confident it was a reflection of the frustration this or any other forum can bring and not a reflection of your true self. Lack of cooperation and access impacted Long Strange Trip and it certainly had its weak points (as did the band and, most notably, JG insistence that no one lead it properly thus leading to the mess you rightly note), though overall i really enjoyed it up to the slow and steady

6:15 to 7:30. just click on the Info tab on official site.

Managed to pull 2 front row for Nebraska but hey it's Nebraska. We are going to do the weekend 3 nights in a row in Lincoln, Nebraska; Kansas City, Missouri; and Tulsa, Oklahoma; and then spend 3 days in Santa Fe and catch a 4th show there before home to NY. 4 Wilco shows in 4 states we have not seen them in was too good of a roadtrip to pass up!

Nice 90 minute slot festival set from the Solid Sounders. And a solid set it was and felt like making a bit of a statement. Rapid fire no banter Wilco. Hell of a treat during a 4 day first time visit to Madrid. What a coincidence.. .Quite a few Wilco fans and more so folks arriving early for Kings of Leon.

Here I come again... and nice my wife, son and I can drive to this one. Have to miss Dead and Company in NYC Saturday but SSF is always a must and nothing better than Being There.... S + Y + DJ.

I finished watching the six episodes and overall really loved it. I particularly enjoyed the first few as they have the totally cool live footage not previously available and the end is of course a bit depressing. A monumental task distilled down to 4 hours so i can see why Phil recently said there is much of the story not told by this documentary. I am curious as to why no interviews and really no mention that i can recall of Mountain Girl and i suppose Jerry's other 3 kids were not interested or approached. Also interesting no interview with Deborah Koons Garcia, his wife when he passed away

So glad someone posted some of the Duke video from 4/12/78. I thought of it when reading some of the comments about the inertia bound Mr. Garcia. That was, of course, generally true, but i remember his dancing a bit 9/18/87 at start of Women are Smarter, but Duke is pretty crazy. I saw them 4/15/78 at William & Mary and he was way animated that night but Weir even more so during Around & Around especially.

Here is the setlist as played as i see it has not been posted. Thought it was another great show and others can provide details.

Have singles for Sunday in Rows Q and R of the center orchestra. Seats are one behind the other. $100 for the "pair.

We will soldier on in your absence, but I love reading the posts even when Im there. I'm doing all 4 being sans excuse as a NYer. Really enjoyed all 4 in Chicago, and sorry had to miss Massey this year but good to have some home games. My sense is there will be at least a bit more setlist variety in NY than Chicago, but you know what they say about Wishful Thinking. We sure know they can just crank out the core songs of the current set amazingly well.I left Chicago ready for more and I know it will be the same after NY and hope to catch them somewhere before SS.

We have the following single tickets for the upcoming Beacon shows. Please send private message if interested in any. Each ticket is available on this fan board for $75 each (less than face value) or best offer: 3/18: Orchestra 2 Row J seat 28 Orchestra 4 Row M seat 42 Orchestra 1 Row P seat 17 Orchestra Cen Row S seat 103 3/19: Orchestra Cen Row Q seat 103 Orchestra Cen Row R seat 103 (note these two are one behind the other) Orchestra 4 Row O seat 38 Orchestra 3 Row O seat 43 3/21: Orchestra 3 row O seat 39

Yeah i am going to call ticketmaster. I got a single really good seat in section 115 but face value with fees i just checked was $336.85. Crazy (but that adjective applies to me as much to them as i bought the ticket).

Understand your frustration. What bothers me about ticketmaster are the very high service charges. Artists seem to control actual ticket price and many many bands got tired of selling a $50 ticket only to have it sold for $100 or $300 etc on the secondary market. This has become more of an issue with the ease for anyone to be a "scalper" on stubhub and other similar marketplaces AND given shift in music industry where most artists only make money from touring (ticket sales/merch and not record sales. That has made artists focus more on how much they get from ultimate price of ticket by time it

My friend told me that when he accesses ticket on his ticketmaster app on iphone there is an icon to transfer the ticket. Might be worth poking around on that, but I am among the androids so of no utility.

Have to disagree with any notion the band should avoid the Beacon. It is one of the best venues to see a concert in my opinion in NYC among the reserved seat venues. I am fine with it if they play the Cap instead as you note as that is just under 15 minutes from my house and very well run but at times not always accommodating. This is almost certainly at the doing of the Band as I have seen hundreds of shows at the Beacon going all the way to my first in spring of 1978 (Little Feat) and never had this procedure. It sounds like anti-scalping move and maybe it needs to be tweaked and it does

I read that the Grateful Dead and Black Sabbath were both on the bill on May 24, 1970 at a festival in England called the Hollywood Festival.

Just in relation to February 13, 1970. I am in a small email group among college deadhead buddies and we do day of the dead every day and vote for favorite show on that particular date. When i got the email today I responded that it being a Grateful Dead national holiday i thought it would be a day off. Here is the text of the email but names etc removed to protect the innocent: OK Gents, Here's your February 13th. Wake up little Susie we gotta vote early and vote often. - 1970 NY, NY Fillmore East 1988 Oakland, CA Kaiser - 1970 Fillmore East. Perhaps the luckiest Friday the 13th in

Unfortunately that was the only one of spring tour. I had just turned 17 but no excuse. In 77 I saw that first one 4/29/77 and Englishtown 9/3/77 and saw Garcia Band 7/12/77 in Asbury Park NJ and early and late shows at Palladium again in NYC late November I think the 27th of 77. Did manage to see 209 Dead shows with Jerry and about 30 Garcia Band. Up to 73 Wilco and will see many this year.
