I can't think of a time where I've seen Jeff/Wilco 2 nights in a row where he hasn't remarked that the current crowd was better than the previous night's crowd. edit: maybe solid sound.

Just pulled Row S now. Keep trying.

same for me. not even sure how that's possible.

Good luck! Do report back, I'm curious how that'll work out. For the third day in a row, I'll be trying at 10AM.

I don't recall it being such a challenge to pull presale tickets for the "Evening with" show at the Orpheum a few years back... Maybe there was a smaller allotment of tickets this time around.

Nothing good for Boston. Pulled one pair in the back of the balcony.

Lots of the colored (white) vinyl at Newbury Comics in Harvard Square.

oddly enough, at 10:12 I just pulled the same seats again. Thanks ticket gods!!!

Pulled 9th row for Boston and let them go like an idiot. Oh well.

Now if only we get those solo shows! I'm really thrilled the Boston show is at The Orpheum. I like that place so much more than the venues in the Theatre District. See you there!

Bumping a very old thread to post a link to Josh's new album, Sermon on the Rocks: http://www.npr.org/2015/10/07/445261578/first-listen-josh-ritter-sermon-on-the-rocks?utm_source=twitter.com&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=allsongs&utm_term=music&utm_content=202508 A definite departure from his last album, which I really enjoyed. I think I enjoy the slower, depressing songs. Thoughts?

I'm hoping Wilco hits the Northeast in early 2016, then Jeff returns later in the year for a few solo shows. I feel like it's been a while since I've seen a proper solo show.

I saw the folk singer Tom Brosseau tonight in Cambridge, MA. Maybe the best show I've seen all year, and there were 11 people there.

During their first Daytrotter, Punch Brothers covered Poor Places. There's an okay version on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5mlEbgIs4o

If you can find any Casey beers (Glenwood Springs, CO), those are really worth checking out. Wonderful saisons... I'm not sure where in CO they distribute, though.

Listen to the first track off of DRA's upcoming Taylor Swift 1989 covers album: http://pitchfork.com/news/61239-ryan-adams-covers-taylor-swifts-bad-blood/ It's great & I can't wait to hear the album in its entirety. I really hope that he treats one of the songs like he did Wonderwall, and basically strips it down to just vocals & acoustic guitar.

I work in administration at a university.

that's not even a tiny bit true.

werdstuff: can you share some thoughts or memories about jay bennett? WilcoJeff: Jay Bennett could eat more ketchup than anyone I've ever seen. I miss him.

Not a concert, but saw the opening night for Waitress at The American Repertory theatre last night. Truth be told, I was begrudgingly tagging along with a group who are really into musicals, but I had a great time. If you're in the Boston area, I'd check this out before it hits Broadway in the Spring.

I saw them open for Nickel Creek a while back. I enjoyed their set, but the stage banter was cringe worthy. Like really, really uncomfortable.

Nothing. He obsessively blocks people. One time I tweeted that he might be my favorite songwriter. I think that might've done it. I lurk on the To Be Young forum, and it seems that he's blocked most everyone there, too. It's mostly a nonissue because he posts crappy pictures of himself and tons of cat pictures. But, he often announces vinyl releases via Twitter and I've missed out on some in the past.

It's pretty good. It's no Speak Now, but the more I listen, the more I think it's better than Red.
