JazzFest does that also. The difference for me being there we are going from stage to stage to tent to tent, usually moving around every hour or so. At SS, from the time they open the gates to Joe's Field until the time Wilco comes on is many hours, I just can't stand that entire time. So I have a chair to sit, which i pack up when Wilco comes on.

Early bird tickets purchased!

Yes!

Would like to be seeing Wilco in Chicago, but tonight I'll be seeing the Trey Anastasio Band in Boston.

That's why for the '60's shows he announced they will do a second set of more usual Phil and Friends sets. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Yes, SS 1 and 2 were both more of a "family affair" so to speak. But I don't remember having issues with the larger crowd at 3, but I see that there were.

I very much doubt they are looking to sell fewer tickets. I heard the promoter took a loss with the first SS. The 2013 had more people, but I still didn't find it too crowded. I had no issues at all with the size of the crowd. Perhaps we were spoiled with the first SS

My oh my, how things can change. I was all gloomy when I opened this topic on June 23, even though I was going to Lockn' and would see Wilco 2x there. But those would be non-headlining festival sets, and I was jonesing for some full out Wilco shows and more Wilco music. Since starting this thread, I got to see the 2 Wilco sets at Lockn', a fantastic Tweedy show at Berklee in Boston, and one Evening With show in Portchester. Wilco came through with a fall tour, 3 nights in Portchester (and the Roadcase releases), and now Winterlude starting tonight (with a free audio stream) preceded by las

So cool!!!

First 6 songs same as the Wednesday show at the Cap. Which I just coincidentally happened to listen to on my way into work this morning.

Countdown is on! 205 days.

Did everyone see Phil's announcement yesterday? To mark the 50th, Phil's doing 2 shows a month at Terrapin Station, with each show marking a different year in the band's history, starting with (I forget which) 1965 or '66.

$312? That announcement says prime seats priced at $250-$275 (depending on the market)

Lots of Wilco fans on the Backstreets site? Had no idea.

Either Sunday (according to the headline) or Saturday (according to the body of the article), WXRT will be live streaming audio. http://www.jambase.com/Articles/123454/Couch-Tour-Alert-Wilco-Live-From-Chicago-This-Sunday

Did they play as the "J.Geils Band"? Without Geils. It's widely known there was a lot of antagonism between Wolf and Geils over the split up, to the point where Jay Geils could not perform under the name "J. Geils."

No way to pick just one. I went to only one, but consider all 3 as "must haves." If for any reason you're only going to purchase just one, might as well spin the bottle on that decision and whichever comes up you'll be fine.

Thanksgiving and healing love to Sue and the entire Tweedy clan!

I only know of Return of the Grievous Angel. Which I love, Didn't know there was another one. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Return_of_the_Grievous_Angel:_A_Tribute_to_Gram_Parsons

Not only that, but Phil Lesh and Friends was moving into the Cap the next night to start his weekend residency, so many saw it as a touching "handoff" to Phil and the Dead crowd. A hugely classy move by Wilco to my eyes. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Did you see this Philly show? http://www.stereogum.com/1720422/watch-ryan-adams-berate-a-fan-after-her-camera-flash-triggers-menieres-episode/video/

For someone who seemed so old at the time, looking back he was so freaking young. Ugh.

I obviously don't read enough of Pitchfork.

I had no idea Pitchfork had a writer who is a huge Phish fan. I was surprised to read this Tweedy quote: "Even the singer himself recently admitted that their last record, 2011’s The Whole Love, "was taken for granted a little bit, not necessarily by critics, maybe by ourselves." They toured extensively behind the album and I never detect any ambivalence when they play those songs. I like TWL a lot, one of my faves.
