I agree with you. In my concert-going experience, the better crowds tend to be in major cities like Boston/NYC vs say Lowell, MA or Portland, ME. The crowds are different in bigger cities, and i think often times a band's intensity is drastically different when they are playing these smaller cities. Whether or not a show is general admission or seated plays a role as well. I don't think age has much to do with it, especially for Tweedy/ Wilco shows.

Jeff was in good spirits tonight... There was some good banter between him the audience. The crowd seemed respectful, but there was little to no singing along or whistling... just a lot of out of time clapping (which Jeff kept referencing).

I just find the ticket prices to be a bit greedy, but more so alienating. You really cut off a portion of your fan base when you set prices that high. An average/casual fan can't afford $250+ to attend a concert. I'm a huge Tom Petty fan, and encountered something similar last summer. You pay $50 or so to be part of his fan club to get preferred seating, then suffer through $150/ticket prices. As lame as it sounds, I was really offended by the prices, as Petty has always been vocal about not wanting to play for "golden circles" or corporate VP folks who inherit the best seats.

2nd row in the orchestra.

pulled really great tickets for one of the boston shows. then saw that it was over $500 for 2 tickets. lol what a joke. no, thanks.

same here. 4th row! thanks explodo!

apparently an e-mail with the password went out to those who are subscribed to the mailing list (which i'm not on). i'll keep poking around. i got shut out of NYC very quickly and i'm usually pretty lucky.

I've been searching the past 2 days as well, and can't find anything. I've found other passwords, but they seem to be changing it for each city. I'll report back if I find it. http://purchase.tickets.com/buy/TicketPurchase?organ_val=3711&perfcode=NWLM01&perfsubcode=2011

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers are taking part in this year's RSD. http://www.tompetty.com/news/title/first-two-albums-to-be-rereleased-on-vinyl-only-on-record-store-day-

....well at least wilco is playing 2 sets!

Wilco Tweet: Stay tuned. Solid Sound Festival lineup announcement tomorrow (Tues. 3/1) @ 10am Eastern.

:wub

i got a kick out of chuck klosterman's tweet from this morning: "I'm sure Radiohead is depressed about these reviews, since they obviously make albums for people to listen to once at 9:20 am on a laptop." still, it feels a bit underwhelming... like these are b-sides or something. in all fairness, i've only listened once. will give it another shot later.

if it's half as good as 'in rainbows' we're in for a treat. and for the record-- jethro tull did the newspaper thing ~40 yrs ago w/ 'thick as a brick'.

will we be speculating in june?! hope they announce something soon!

i was never crazy about ''one wing'' until hearing jeff play it solo. completely changed my opinion of the song.

just a heads up-- the state theatre in portland just released some tickets a few hrs ago. i checked on ticketmaster and pulled up orchestra three. anyone who missed out should hurry over!

ended up pulling 2nd row, orch 1 for portland. pleasantly surprised, i almost always do better on frontgate.

i think it's 10am local time, but i might be wrong.

I've got 2 extras in the 9th Row Orch, Reserved 2. Face value is $79, tickets are at will call, so I'll meet you at the venue on the evening of the show. Drop me a pm if you're interested. Thanks! **tickets have been sold.

so painful to search for tickets after having already bought some, and then pulling better seats. i don't know why i do it to myself!

pulled 9th row orch 2 for portland, maine. how did everyone else do?

can't wait for 10am tomorrow! hopefully this ridiculous amount of snow doesn't result in my loosing the internet!

nope, bböp was right! my mistake
