  1. I'll probably stay at the same campground, maybe this year I'll move up in the world and get a camper
  2. Did you do this through the web or did you call?
  3. Weird, because I talked to both the reservations and the front desk and they are booked, they did take my name for a waiting list. Intresting to note the Front Desk guy called it "That Music Weekend", so I think we nailed the correct weekend ;^)
  4. My wife couldn't even get a room in North Adams, and she said most in Pittsfield are also booked. I wouldn't be surprised if Wilco/Solid Sound booked the whole Holiday Inn it's just 86 rooms.
  5. Best guess would be the last weekend in June, there are no rooms at the Inn.
  6. Sweet, do I need to ask about a Tarrytown one?
  7. Reminds me of the time my wife and I went into NYC for Paul McCartney, we went out to diner first and the two guys at the table next to ours seemed to be going to the show, they had their tickets out and were looking at a seating chart. Being a Dead Head I've spent alot of time in MSG so I offered to help them out, I ask them what section they are in, turns out to be the same section as us, what row, same row as us, it turns out they had the two seats next to us, very weird of all the restaurants in New York we just happen to pick the same one.
  8. Very good point, while I do despise scalpers and what they've done to ticket prices and availability, I'd be pretty pissed off if I spent a boat load of money on tickets then showed up to the venue only to get denied. It seems to me that in the end the people getting hurt most by this is actually the fans.
  9. I figured it was such a small venue the seats couldn't be that bad.
  10. Took the plunge, I couldn't see myself not go, grabbed a couple of $97 seats for Terrytown, sure it's twice the ticket price, put I'm in, sure I'm in the second to last row of the balcony, but I'm in, and they are the inside aisle seats, but most importantly, I'm IN!
  11. Oh boy, back to the diversity thread for you.
  12. Shut out, both shows, DAMN!
  13. I would like to think anything is possible, and I just did see Buffalo Springfield this weekend, but UT, never happen, I saw them the once and I don't expect to see them again.
  14. I thought that set was awesome, and way out there!
  15. I always thought Dana Carvey, you know, Chopping Broccoli Chopping Broccoli
  16. Mavis would be cool, so would Autumn Defense, Nels & On Fillmore, none of which seemed to have appeared so far.

    Diversity

    I taped it, I should catch it tonight, let's see if my wife catches it (she loves Wilco, tolerates 30 Rock). I followed the Dead for years myself, and I often times compare Wilco to them, they both have their roots in the music of Americana, both bands live shows are amazing, both bands have great musicians and song writers, I could go on but outside of the whole Hippy thing the two bands really are very similar. Let's just hope Wilco never has a "Touch of Gray" to move them into the Stadium show stratosphere.
  18. So Tuesday night my heart starts beating real fast, and it's hard to breath and this pressure in my chest, so my wife being a nurse rushes me to the ER, half way there I say we need to go back home and set the DVR for Letterman, she doesn't listen. So I'm in the ER for a few hours when they say I need to stay overnight for more evaluations, Letterman comes on and the nurse tells me he thinks they found me a bed, and I ask nicely if it can wait until after Letterman (I was in an ER room with a TV), he said we'll see and walks away. He shows back up during the long commercial break right befo
  19. Let me see, in the last couple of years members of the two bands have recorded together, Jeff has played their songs in his solo set, and has sited consulting with them about forming his own record label, I guess I don't see the connection either.
  20. I do enjoy In Rainbows, but Hail..., they just needed to cut that one down a bit, you are right it could have been an awesome record, but as it is I can hardly sit through it, some of my favorite Radiohead songs are on there, kind of frustrating record actually. I found Harry Patch interesting at first listen, but it just never grew on me, makes me wonder about the direction they are going in. Let's be honest, Radiohead is huge, they play stadiums and arenas, Wilco (thankfully) play theaters and minor league ball parks, Wilco fans would me a huge minority at those shows. Something I do fi
  21. Maybe I'm missing something, but where is the picture? I'm thinking of making three for Solid Sound (it was that awesome), the first one that lists all the acts on the wrinkled paper, the Stomp Box poster and the one the guy made outside the poster room.
  22. I know, and to believe I trusted my doctor when he told me I needed to lose some weight!
  23. Music: Wilco Aug 1, 2009 12:00 PM, By Blair Jackson CHICAGO SEXTET GOES “DEEPER DOWN” ON NEW ALBUM Since coming onto the scene in the mid-'90s, Wilco has consistently been one of the most unpredictable and adventurous American bands, and leader Jeff Tweedy is among music's most intriguing figures. The three Wilco albums Mix has covered previously — their alt-country debut A.M.; the collaborations with Billy Bragg on songs by Woody Guthrie called Mermaid Avenue; and the eclectic and experimental Yankee Hotel Foxtrot — are all sonically completely different from each other, just as Summerteet
  24. There was an article in Mix about this when the record came out, I believe that they were working on the songs (and actually had tracks on tape) long before the 7 Worlds thing, when they got to NZ they liked the sound of the room, so they recorded the basics all over again, Nels and Mikael just added their parts later. I'd say they were a part of the creative process.
