    I was following along at 3 a.m. my time (California), with a friend who was at the show, commenting and sharing the occasional short bit of video. Wow, what a wonderful, intimate show it looks to have been! So glad for all of you who were there, and thanks for the reviews and funny stories. That encore misunderstanding...hahahahaha! :lol

    Wow how cheeky for someone to do that

    we had Dreamer on the setlist a few years ago as the final song, but they played late greats and wheel instead... oh well!

    I got really over Late Greats. I don't mean to seen ungrateful. They just played it at nearly every show I went to for a while, and knowing it bumped Dreamer is salt in my wound. Though I do love Wheel :)

    I think there's a good chance there will still be seats. Maybe try ringing the other places selling tickets? If you look at their website it lists other places you can buy them. I'm not sure if you can do it over the phone but it's worth a try.

    I emailed them last Wednesday. They said they would send out payment details at 9am Friday when tickets went on sale. I got the email 9.50 on Friday, transfered money into their account (they only assigned tickets when the money is clear, I used a Bendigo account so it went straight away- you can pay over the counter at Bendigo bank too). Then they emailed back on Saturday with my confirmation number. So it's a long process!

     

    I think there's only a hotel above a pub there?? Not sure. But it's not a big place.

    I'm requesting Dreamer for Meeniyan and Cars for Melbourne. 

     

    I'm so excited about this tour!! I saw Jeff solo at the first solid sound and loved it. Must admit I haven't listened to Sukirae much,  I'm not allowed to play "mummys music" in the car much, I'm usually stuck on the Frozen soundtrack. But I will pick the fight and win! Ha who am I kidding I will listen to it at work :)

    Australia dates for Tweedy:

    Meeniyan town hall mar 20

    Melbourne recital hall mar 21

    Sydney the factory mar 22

     

    Very very confused by Meeniyan. There's not much there, it's a small country town.

    Shortest Distance/Longest distance for a Wilco/Jeff show?

    Bear in mind I live in Melbourne, Australia...

    Current longest: Auckland, NZ in 2013 - 1,640 miles

    Soon to be longest: Solid Sound Festival in a few weeks time, 10473 miles

     

    What do I win? :)

    Not so fast to the title my friend. WHERE in melbourne? Because I too am a melbournian who has done the solid sound journey. Guess we can call it a tie? ;)

     

    I've also seen them in Norway, Finland, Swedon and NZ. Hey when they don't come to you very often you make the effort to go them. Ahhh those were there days. Now I have kids and I will be lucky to make the melbourne shows! Last tour I flew to Sydney with my then 1yo and pregnant with #2. Flying back the next day after the concert I blacked out on the plane and woke up with an oxygen mask on and my daughter no where to be seen (soon found an aisle behind). Despite that experience I will still try for more than the melbourne shows next time.

     

    You will love it :)

    I adore the kiddie giggles on Mikaels video.

     

    I wonder if the challenge would have been as successful if had been in the northern hemisphere winter.

     

    It's raising money, people look like they're having fun with their family doing it. What's not to like?

    What a great show! And my request of I Must Be High got played tonight, so happy! I think I actually requested Say You Miss Me too.

     

    Paul Dempsey was in the second row in front of me. I thought I was tall,but he eclipses me! He was well into it, and was one of the first to stand up to applaud Nels after Impossible Germany.

     

    Very excited for Sydney next week!

    We were directly behind Paul Dempsey in the second row. When the audience stood he very nicely tried to shrink himself and squatted down, but I told him it was ok to stand up. Hey if you have to stare at anyone's back it might as well be his!

     

    Enjoyed this show much more than the first one, which I felt never really took off. So over the insipid version of kidsmoke!! Make it rock and stop wasting my time! :)

     

    Loved misunderstood and ALTWYS.

    I'm hoping they feel so guilty about the short show they come back again quick :). Three years is too long!

     

    I flew up from Melbourne for the Sydney shows. Sorry I missed the meet up, just saw the post! The opera house stuffed up out tickets, we had second row but we only realised a few hours before the show they were for Wednesday night! When I bought the Tuesday tickets over the phone I didn't even know there was a Wednesday show so I know it wasn't my mistake. They ended up swapping them for tickets in one of the side box seats. Not second row but its better than nothing.

    Wilco to play Australia- REALLY!!!!

    I'm row BB in the middle, so row 3. Seems like the arts centre was a bit off with their timing and had the net sales open early. We purchased those tickets at 8.50am when they were meant to go on sale at 9, not sure when they went on sale.

     

    Still stoked to be third row!
