We did the Wilco weekend and had an awesome time: got to say hi to Pat Sansone in Wellington and to Mavis in Auckland; met Eckythump in the front row at the Wellington show; and witnessed Wilco and Mavis give a tremendous rendition of The Weight in Auckland. We had wondered if the Auckland show could possibly be better than the Wellington show and that closing number provided the answer.
This show was the first we have watched from upstairs. It gives a great view of Glenn and how hard he works on that drum kit. I thought Via Chicago was a highlight of the show.
Fingers crossed for a Wilco return very soon. Pretty sure we'll be following them through Australasia next tour.
(Maybe i need a Wilco tour piggybank).
PS - Does anyone else think Pat should be given more guitar solos?

security were really tight. plastering signs all over the entrance about no cameras. the guy that did get the 90 minute recording was being hassled just before the show.. hope someone got a full recording. one of them walked past me and stared as i was writing the setlist.
our usual clan had a great time!. got to meet a girl called Courtney who is following the tour from the states.. some people here would know her. fun girl!
lets see what the boys roll out on tonights show. being the final one of the tour, it should be a blast!
We were right behind your left shoulder and sat next to Courtney at the Auckland show. What a great time we had at both Wilco shows in Melbourne. Both nights we met excellent people.
No recordings of the Melbourne shows on Dimeadozen yet, there are some of the Sydney shows.

I am slightly kicking myself for booking the 2 shows in Melbourne and not going to the Sydney shows, given one was the evening with Wilco show. Especially now I've seen the setlist...
Just means I'll have to go to more Wilco shows.
Anyone been to The Forum in Melbourne? It looks to be a great place.
The Thursday show is the last of this part of the tour, so hopefully we'll get something extra special. Kicking Television would be great.

No mention at all for the Auckland show on either the Ticketek or The Edge (Civic) website. Maybe this is all just a cruel, cruel hoax?

Just got through to an operator at Ticketek who said there had been a delay in loading that one, and they will now go on sale at 10am.
I spoke to a friend in Auckland who was told that the "promoter had withdrawn the listing" - whatever that means.
I emailed The Edge (for the Auckland show). The reply I got said the promoter had made some changes and that caused the delay.

He was referring to a lady who was jumping all over people and being annoying. Apparently she settled down after security had a word and then she left after one more song.
