Just to prep those that have not been to a SS fest this slide show i made back in 2010 from the first festival might offer some insight onto what to expect. The backing music is from my master recording.

 

enjoy!

 

 

 Nice! Thanks

I wouldn't start panicking until at least 2 weeks before the festival.  We're talking a month and a half here, people.  

Yep, according to Front Gate Tickets tix will be sent out about 2 - 4 weeks before the festival. Same goes for camping reservation, I guess.

Thanks for the info, everybody. Bascom Lodge really sounds like a great deal - when you have a car. Gonna fly in from Europe and take the bus shuttle from NYC or Boston. So, I guess going for the campsite would be the easiest and cheapest option then. No idea about the tent yet, though. 

Once again a fantastic run by the world's best live band! Great Songs (some rarities finally brought to Europe) and lots of dancing - rocknroll Never get enough of that.

Yes, Mr. Queenie, it was very nice to meet you and the Wilco crowd again! Back to the comforts of home I already miss queueing, dormitories, hanging out at jammed brewhouses (as a non-beer-drinker) and wouldn't even mind to bump into drunken Norwegian Gaslight Anthem fans with bears in their front garden again. Oh well, let's do this again pretty soon. Solid Sound - here we go!

(No, I don't miss the Ozark Henry sets ...)

There's another broadcast of this show tomorrow on german radio:

Enjoy!

pretty cool, thanks for sharing!

Looks like an awesome guitar, indeed! Think he used it recently for some songs on their european tour.

How 'bout a John Sitrrat signature Hofner bass???

Lakland John Stirratt signature Precision would be even better, though.

Great ending of a fantastic european tour as it seems. Thanks for reporting, Paul, always a pleasure to read It was great fun to hang out with all you guys! Hope to see you all next time.

Great pics! Thanks

they just did a couple of bars of Born Alone without Jeff and Pat and then stopped

pretty cool, anyway. and some nice surprises in that set - when the roses... - wow!

Geez! I'm really sorry for you, Mr. Queenie...

Thanks a lot for the report, Paul. Sounds like we really missed something. I always like Jesus, etc. with crowd singalong and the last four songs - that's my favorite ending for a show. So, I'm curious about Bologna now. Looks like the next time I have to make it to Italy, too.

AWESOME!

Netherlands, of course. I'm sorry

oh man, that "security" guy stood right in front of me, with his back to the stage during the whole show. he started doing this handsignals during company in my back, one of my favorite songs and he was really making me mad. jeff then ask him if he could "stop being so fucking destructive". I tried to talk to him during the encore break, but it seemed like he didn't understand neither english nor german. Really strange...

But despite that, the show was awesome! Even better than Munich two days before, who would have thought it. It was so cool that everybody was standing and dancing from the beginning. It really gave me a chill standing in that crowd of people who were singing with the band. And what a great set! So cool to hear She's a Jar again. For me, it was the best show of the german/netherland/switzerland concerts this year.

 

Nice to see you again, Heike! You'll have to let us know what you thought of the show.

Thank you, Paul. It was my pleasure! Hope you'll have a good time in Berlin and I'm looking forward to see you at the tempodrom.

And what a show in Munich! Fuckin' wickedly awesome!

Absolutly great venue, good sound and terrific set! Was so glad to hear The Lonely 1, Passenger Side and Side With The Seeds. Even though the venue was seated we were standing from the beginning and rocked! One of the best Wilco shows I've seen so far and really kinda hard to top, I think. But let's see... Can't wait.

Thanks a lot, Turnips!

Is anyone going to tape the show tonight? I would really appreciate it, unfortunately I can't make it to this one

Thanks!

yes, Festival Hall has sold out with no advertising and months still to go!!... is something happening?

Normal conditions, I think. Pavement played 4 shows in a row at Brixton Acadamy and I seem to remember that all shows were sold out... They also played at the Columbiahalle (3500 people can get in there) in Berlin (one of only two Geman shows) and there were still tickets available...

The Stockholm show was billed thus, but was not in the three hour format. I think it may have been only for the US shows. :-(

Yeah, sad but true... European shows seem to be shorter and more usual with not so many seldom played songs, but I think London is different in some kind (and it's already sold out, isn't it?)

Just back from my trip to Aarhus (pretty nice town, by the way). Here's the setlist as written and played if anyone is interested in:

Ashes

Bull Black Nova

Break Your Heart

One Wing

I'll Fight

Via Chicago

War On War

Country Disappeared

Handshake Drugs

Impossible Germany

Sky Blue Sky

California Stars

Sonny Feeling

Jesus

Hate It Here

Theologians

You Never Know

Heavy Metal Drummer

Walken

I'm The Man

Hummingbird

Shot

(On and on - written on the setlist but not played)

Encore

Late Greats

I'm A Wheel (Monday was written but not played)

Pretty much the songs they always use to play but I was glad to hear Sky Blue Sky and Hummingbird. They didn't even try to do Jesus as a singalong as there was almost no reaction by the audience to the question if people are ready for that... Pretty lame audience, but nonetheless Wilco did a good job. To me it was strange and a bit hard to keep my seat, as I had the expectation to visit a rock concert and not a musical or something... Sound and lights were brilliant!!! (I'm sorry for incorrect English, I'm a bit tired.)

Hi there,

tickets for German shows can be ordered via www.hekticket.de or www.eventim.de(shipping abroad might be quite expensive)

Tickets for Offenbach can also be ordered here: Batschkapp Ticket Shop

Best regards.

Deeply interesting! Thanks for posting.

 

...as we both vastly prefer GA shows where we can get up front and not worry about the standing/sitting issue.

What about Vienna? Looks like a pretty cool venue and it's not seated. And the city is worth a trip, I think. Never been there before, so I'm quite curious about it. But Berlin is worth a trip as well, anyway.

 

Also waiting for announcement of a show in the Czech Republic, which could actually be on my birthday (Sep 29) if it comes after the Berlin show as I would expect.

Me too. Although I'd like to have my last show 'at home', so Berlin would be an excellent closure. Let's see... Sep 29th seems most probable.

...they do charge you over EU 39.00 for the priviledge of receiving your ticket outside of Germany - as I recently found to my cost...

Holy shit... Did not know.

Just found this one www.hekticket.de No seating plan booking on this website but shipping outside of Germany is not that expensive (5.90 EU).

Hi there,

you can try to get your tickets from www.eventim.de. The Admiralspalastis a pretty nice seated venue right in the middle of Berlin. There is a seating plan booking at the eventim-website, so you can choose your seats. Hope it works. Good luck!
