Yep! Got general admission floor tix for both NOLA shows. I saw them in NOLA in 1996, and it's still the best show I've ever seen. I'm not nearly the fan I once was, but for nostalgia's sake I'm looking forward to seeing them again.

I'd love to see them at Jazz Fest but not along with 500,000 people.

I would like to see Mavis, Gary Clark, Jr., Elvis Costello, and Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings. Possibly the biggest for me on the list are Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter. Actual jazz at Jazz Fest!

http://lineup.nojazzfest.com Solid lineup, but I may skip this year. No Wilco. No Decemberists. And the crowd size has gotten obnoxious. I wish they'd cap the number of daily tickets sold.

Wilco Decemberists

I'll be at both Atlanta shows next month and hope to meet any of you who will also be there. I'll probably start another message string as the shows get closer.

Getting ready to start that one myself.

Merry Christmas, fellow VCers! What a great year of blessings! My dad is now cancer-free after receiving a very bleak prognosis in 2014. Lots of great experiences (including great live music) with good friends this year, including a couple of y'all. Here's hoping the new year will have wonderful things in store for all of us. Best, Boss Tweedy

Very late with these but... (1) The Deslondes & Pokey LaFarge - Dec. 12 - Tipitina's (2) Lucero - Dec. 16 - Tipitina's Both great shows. That'll do it for my live music for 2015.

I hate it though I'd expected this ending for years. I wore "Core" & "Purple" out during my first two years of college. Godspeed, Scott Weiland.

Same here. Now I want to attend the festival.

Happy Thanksgiving from the Deep South, y'all! So many blessings for which to be thankful this year, including three Wilco shows (two in New Orleans and one in Franklin, TN) and having opportunities to meet two of my fellow VCers at shows this year. Wishing everyone at Via Chicago a wonderful holiday season.

A musical institution. Dude made suits look great even in the middle of July in New Orleans. Godspeed.

I see what you did there.
