I'm thrilled that Wilco was added to the bill here and I'd like to see Neil but I am not gonna spend $250+ per ticket to see anybody right now. As the show gets closer I'll see if I can snag a pair of the least pricey tickets just to get in the venue. I used to see shows at the "Centrum" all the time when I was younger and prices weren't crazy. Jeff

At Tanglewood they had a show specific poster which was really the only thing that I wanted to buy but the merch table was pretty chaotic so I got out of the mob. I was afraid that I would miss the first tune.....oh well.... Jeff

Last night was my 1st Wilco show but I've been a fan for a few years. Great show last night. Cool venue too. We were right under the American flag on Nels side. My only gripes were:The chaos at the merch table. I wanted a poster but didn't want to miss the start of the show so I had to get out of the scrum. The security guy near us was kicking all the guys out who tried to sneak up front but allowed 2 of the most obnoxious and possibly drunk young ladies to camp out there. The funniest thing was a girl behind us who kept yelling "I love you Neil!" repeatedly until someone yelled out "His name

grounds/doors open at 5pm so I assume the show starts at 6:30pm

From what I've read here some people setup mics on stands and stuff... I'm probably not going to be that ambitious this time around. Jeff

I'm going to try. I just bought a Zoom H2 for recording rehearsals, gigs, song ideas etc. At this point I've just been experimenting at home with it so the results might be questionable.... Jeff

Well we can't get a sitter for that night so the wife is staying home and I'm taking my friend Henry. I'm pretty stoked about the show but less than happy about the 200 mile round trip...... Jeff

I'm somewhere in the 1st 12 rows or so. I'm going to attempt recording it with my Zoom H2.... we'll have to see how it comes out.

Here is the official word from the venue: "Here are the policies for the WILCO concert-Point and click cameras are O.K. No changeable lens cameras. No video recording-only audio." So there you go....

My understanding is that the band doesn't have an issue with making recordings. I did not check my tix for any info about no cameras or recording but on the Tanglewood website the policy is no cameras no recordings. I emailed their customer service and they replied confirming no recording is policy but they would check into it. If I don't hear back by Friday AM I might just call them... Jeff

I'm still waiting for a verification on the recording policy at the venue. The band is cool with it but Tanglewoods general policy is no recording. If I hear back in time I'll give an update. Jeff

Section 3 row M....can't wait.

have mine too!

Hi, I'm Jeff and I've been lurking here for months. I have 2 seats bought during the pre-sale Section 3 row M which are on the Nels side. This is my first Wilco show and I was hoping to get seats on John's side since I'm a bassist and it would be cool to be on his side of the stage. My seats are somewhere around 11th row I think. Drop me a line. Maybe we can swap tix. Maybe not. I'm really looking forward to this show and I'm dragging my wife along to see my favorite band much like she dragged me to see Springsteen years ago.
