  1. I have an extra single ticket for the 3/26 Portland, ME show. Orch Reserved 1, Row 12, Seat 14. $39.50 ($35 plus $4.50 service charges). Email me at jeff_monahan@yahoo.com. I will have to pick up the ticket at Will Call the day of the show since we are coming up from Central MA for the show.
  2. Another great show. They opened with Bull Black Nova and slid Wilco (The Song) to the Encore opener - this worked well. Feist came out and performed You and I with the band. Other song highlights for me (in no particular order): Kamera, Radio Cure, Hummingbird, Country Disappeared, Sonny Feeling, and Casino Queen. Not a lot of chatting from Jeff, he seemed very conscious of the time. Even though it is not directly related to the show, I have to say that Toronto is an amazing city. This was our first trip here and we were blown away. In two days (on top of the 2 Wilco shows), we saw t
  3. Great show! I will leave the total setlist for someone with better attention to detail than I have - but highlights include Either Way, Can't Stand it, Pot Kettle Black, Outtasite (Outta Mind), Monday, and How To Fight Loneliness. I think Jeff has recovered from the cold that he had in Columbus. Our seats were farther away than in Columbus but it looked like he came out with more energy from the beginning. The setlist seemed a little shorter, I think 21 songs - Jeff mentioned that they were working with a tighter curfew than they were used to. This was our first show at Massey Hall and it
  4. Here is the setlist from the stage. It looks that Misunderstood was an addition and not a replacement. Husband of Kissle Me Some More - thanks to your son for getting us a 28th song.
  5. What a great show. Started off great with meeting Sunshine (sorry about your ticket mixup). Jeff did look a bit sick at the beginning, but seemed to feel better as the show went on. I really appreciated the setlist-this is my 4th show and they played 7 songs I'd never heard before. Minor annoyances included a amazonian college photographer who stood in front of me for the first 3 songs or so. Also in light of what happened the other day, I thought Jeff may meltdown when the guy with the kid argued with him about videotaping. Luckily that didn't happen. All in all it was fantastic--on to Toron
  6. Thanks - edited the setlist - need to proofread better before I post.

  8. My wife met John and Pat at Niagara Falls before the Lewiston show. She had never been to the Falls before so my sister-in-law took her ealier in the day before the show. She saw John and Pat and sort of ran into them. They were very cool to her. Posed for a picture which my wife still uses as her wallpaper and had my sister-in-law give them directions to a nearby monument to Tesla (the man not the band). I mentioend this once before in the Lewiston show thread. After the show we stuck around and had an opportunity to meet Nels and Glenn and get their autographs. They both impressed us
  9. Jeff Tweedy Acoustic Calvin Theatre, Northampton, MA, March 27, 2009 (w/ Pronto) Wilco Auditorium Theatre, Rochester, NY, December 10, 2008 Templeton-Blackburn Alumni Memorial Auditorium (Ohio University), Athens, OH, April 17, 2009 Art Park, Lewiston, NY, July 19, 2009 This fall we are doing a week vacation and seeing the Wilco show at Wexner Center (Ohio State) and their 2 Toronto shows at Massey Hall.
  10. Front Row in Columbus for us as well. 1st Row Pit on Left side - hopefully right in front of Nels. My wife and I have been inspired by other VCers and we are going to do our first ever "Wilcation" in October. Now I just have to score good tickets for the Toronto show.
  11. When they came out for the first encore, Jeff came out to the pit, leaned out and, I think, told some guy to stop being a dick. Does anyone know what the guy did to be called out? We were a little over to the left, close enough to see it but not close enough to know the full story. My wife and I caught ourselves talking during the first song. Something along the lines of "Oh shit this is awesome." And then we both realized we should stop because we were right below Jeff. My greatest fear going into this show was getting yelled at by Jeff since we were up front. Luckily someone else wa
  12. Yep, that's me - I didn't know you were a member - are you the one w/ the glasses? I asked your friend and he said he didn't know about this board. It was nice talking with you both - Did you enjoy the show?
  13. Jeff was kidding when he said that. It was right after one of the girls asked for his towel. Then the guy asked for his shoe, to which he replied "get lost".
  14. Wow, what a great show. Loved that we got to hear Radio Cure & Can't Stand It. My wife got to meet Pat & John at the Niagara Falls State Park a few hours before the show - said they were really nice guys and didn't seem to mind that she stalked them for a good ten minutes before getting up the nerve to say something.
  15. PB 808 I am going to step up to your defense. I agree that the band's choices of venues for this tour are pretentious. Take minor league baseball stadium: Hotdogs, popcorn, warped possibly Splintery bleacher seating... Fucking pretentious. On top of that I have to drive 3 hours to someplace called the Artpark if I want to see them. A park full of art? How pretentious. What Is wrong with good old-fashioned parks with trees and grass and Picnic-basket-stealing bears wearing adorable hats and bowties? Damn, pretensity in all it forms just binds me up.
  16. Dear Mr. Tweedy, Please disregard my earlier post in regards to Walken. I think all your songs are brilliant. My apologies. The pot smoke from the posters around me must have made me a little screwy. Thank you, UJ
  17. A Beavis and Butthead reference. My night is complete.
  18. I gotta ask... does everyone else like Walken? Am I in the minority? I would really like to see them rotate it out of standard play. It kinda drives me batty.
  19. Same story for me. Saw them in Rochester for first time and I have been obsessed since. Lucky I have cool wife who is willing to go on roadtrips to other states so we have seen them a couple more times. I am pysched for Buffalo show.
  20. Can't Stand It!!! My wife and niece are dancing around the living room. Wait now they are trying to get the dogs to dance.
  21. I think I am getting the munchies. kidsmoke do you have any pistachios left?
  22. I smell pot smoke a couple rows back. Maybe they will pass it down.
