Great show. i haven't got to see them since Cincy in '09.....I think. Red Rocks crowd, and security are great. I've been used to the back half of the venue getting upset when someone stands to dance. But not last night!!! It was somewhere around the 15th show I've seen (first one west of Louisville/indianapolis). I'm a tru fan!! I smoke and drink a bit. but not at Wilco shows because it'll go by too fast and then I'm just sad at the end:( I really thought it was over after "End of the century." So nice to be around good people and listening to great music in a beautiful venue!

P.S. check out "The Sun Came Out" DVD w/Neil Finn etc

some i really like that i haven't seen on any lists.

1. Liam Finn- Fomo

2. Cage the Elephant- Thank you happy birthday (holdin' down for KY)

3. Paul Simon- So Beautiful or so what

4. Jason White- The Longing

5. Lots of good ones this year

...and I'm obviously waiting for Wilco

Also waiting for...

1.Baxter Dury- Happy Soup

2.Pajama Club

i already said i like the show. but man!! the atmosphere within the audience is still blowing me away. i always run into the asshole when i see them further south. the vibrant crowd and stellar music is what it's all about. great experience. thank you detroit:)

i drove up from lexington, ky to see the show and stay with a friend in detroit. my jaw hit the floor when i heard magazine called sunset and summerteeth. third time i've seen them this year, and by far the best. MOST IMPORTANT...no seats! what a show! now i have to drive back

I'm amazed that this guy is getting praised on here. If the guy was a douche to you, then go ahead and stand, but if he politely asked you, then you're an ass for being proud of standing anyway.

this is a good point. the guy was totally obnoxious. if 'twer an old lady, little kid, broken leg person, or someone kind of polite I would have compromised. the guy told me that i wasn't at a van halen concert! i was definately not the only person standing in the loge. i'm not bragging about blocking anyone's view. I'm not gonna sit. I did it in columbus in the balcony, and it made no sense. Surely, all those people didn't buy balcony tickets to sit. some didn't care, and i would guess others were worried about what the person behind them might say.

there are six guys on stage playing their hearts out for us. it makes me move.

After you're finished patting yourself on the back for sticking one to the man, maybe you should take a moment to consider that some people specifically buy loge or balcony seats so they don't have to deal with assholes standing up in front of them.

well, that may be true, but i bought my tickets through the fan club and that's where i wound up. i hope he remembers my ass. buy the dvd and stay home if you're gonna be upset that people stand. I WILL NEVER SIT AT WILCO

Wilco was great, but perhaps the best part was dealing with the sitters. In the Loge, 3rd row I made up my mind that i wouldn't be swayed to sit by obnoxious "fans." Of course the biggest ass sits right behind me. He told me that i wasn't at a van halen concert and demanded i take a seat during the first song. I would have no part of it, stood my ground. Unless you play drums, keyboard, or have two broken legs i would suggest you not sit. These are rock concerts, not plays. I will not have some first timer tell me how to behave at a wilco concert. ha ha ha

man, i love old bourbon and new wilco! neither one ever lets me down

i'm sorry. i've been listening to the album for the past few days. good luck! no problems so far. the computer is covered in bondo dust, so you never know

Loved the show, it was redemption for the slop three years ago. Thought it was over for sure and they surprised me with hoodoo voodoo for the finale. The fact that they didn't play any new songs is interesting since they played a few last fall. Great! Great! Great!

damn!!! why haven't i received my pre-sale tickets to this show? sent an email to the company last friday and they said the tickets haven't been sent out. has anyone had a similar experience with pre-sale? the show is in a week!!

Steve Mason!!!

Be safe and just listen to AM instead.

 

P.S. One of the first songs on the second Loose Fur album...the one with the whistling? I hate that song, but that's not my point. For some reason, it reminds me a lot of a song on the Teen Wolf soundtrack. Well, it was in the movie, I'm assuming it was on the soundtrack. I haven't seen it in a while but I think it might have been the background music to a montage of Michael J. Fox-as-wolfboy playing basketball and in generally winning over the other kids and being the BMOC n shit. I hated that Teen Wold soundtrack song too. Also, Teen Wolf Too was an abomination.

dear mr. squigglecat,

We regret to inform you that your "A.M." listening rights have officially been revoked (papers are in the mail). Also, two copies of 1985's best-selling soundtrack, "Teen Wolf" are en route to your residence as you read this. Wilco has decided to deal with you on their terms. Step1. clean AM with sandpaper. Step2. memorize "Teen Wolf" soundtrack. know it. live it. Step3. wait patiently for "Step 4."

Sincerely,

jimbly jane

OK, the last three Wilco shows I

Wilco may not need me at every possible show but I need to be at every possible show.

 

Good vibes and good fortune tomorrow.

hell yeah. if you want tickets bad enough, you'll get them. good luck

I always have luck with presale tickets, but not this one.

 

If anyone here got tickets in the first 10 rows, please say so (so we losers today can rest assured it just was not our lucky day, instead of the first 10 rows being held back from sale.)

 

Row "d" , orchestra, center stage!!!

Got 4 tickets in row D!!!! this is the first time pre-sale has ever worked for me.

How about that youtube clip where Jeff talks about running into Farrar at the beach on some island while on vacation? Pretty amusing story.

I was telling someone that story today while promoting the DVD in April! I'd love to see the Smiths do a few shows too.

I was sick as hell at the Ryman, but went along anyway and rested my head on the seat in front of me for most of the show. This is a dream come true!

Well, I guess we now have the answer to the question posed in this thread:

Wow. I'm really glad they're using the Ryman show as one of the performances in the DVD. It was a great show, and I also have a selfish reason to be excited about it -- my wife and I were sitting very near the front and encountered the camera-people several times. Then again, I'm not sure I would want to see a shot of me with eyes closed and singing along. That's not a pretty picture. Anyway, I'm thrilled that Wilco will be sharing this show with all of those who couldn't be there that evening.

Wow i posted that about the ryman doc with superb timing. Now if could find a way to use that timing in my everyday life. not likely

Jeff- full-time dreama

Pat- shoe salesman

John- street hustler in new orleans

mikael- mission control supervisor nasa

glenn- big-time indie film actor

nels- guitar center salesman (disgruntled)

I'm most certain about jeff and pat.

I want a Def Leppard covers album.

I knew I wasn't the only one! I'm hot, sticky sweet...from my head to my feet yeah. na na nanala na na nanala...listen! (I'm sorry)

you sure you aren't thinking of the Kicking Television DVD project?

I'm very jealous of your photo. Got to take a front row photo of jeff, nels, and glen @ Iroquois amp(not as cool as yours) '06 I think.

I was at the first 930 show, also saw the extensive video taping...

I was hoping for a DVD around the Holidays this year.

I gotta believe they decided to scrap whatever they were doing if it hasn't surfaced by now. Wouldn't make too much sense to release this next year when another CD is supposed to be ready.

Maybe the video will be offered as a bonus DVD with the CD? (Wishful Thinking?)

What would we be without wishful thinking? maybe it was intitially going to be the two shows mentioned, but as Obama gained steam they decided to film those functions and they're going to release those shows as a dvd! Probably not. I really want another wilco DVD!

welcome to VC!

thank you thank you very much. I check vc often, but until recently had nothing to post. hopefuly, there will be an epic documentary released soon because I'm achin' for some quality wilco footage!
