Broken Foot

Will take any reasonable offer

Forgot to mention but I have an email with a PDF of the ticket that I can send if you are interested in purchasing.

Unfortunately one of our family members can no longer attend.  Ticket was purchased for $219 including fees.  Will sell for $200 if anyone is interested.  It's gonna be a good one! 

To those who are excited about this line up.  Please make some recommendations that we can listen to.  We have been listening through many of the bands, but nothing is really standing out.  

Looking forward to the festival, this will be our fifth one.  Spent the afternoon texting with family and friends, who are also attending, how we are all pretty disappointed with the lineup.  At least Wilco is playing and we can take our time inside the museum.  Any thoughts on what they might do on Friday night?  

Standing last night, and we were very happy with that! 

Was it an indoor venue with a no smoking policy? If so, she had every right to complain. If a venue won't allow people to smoke cigarettes they shouldn't make an exception for weed.

OK, but I am pretty sure that those who were smoking were doing it on the slide and not out in the open so in that case I don't believe that anyone was making an "exception."  Just thought it was funny that she seemed to be so outraged by people smoking weed at a rock show.  Also, funny that she got the year wrong...2015.  Personally I have more of an issue with the folks who feel the need to drink themselves into a stupor and attempt to sing as if they are in the band.  Fortunately they were limited in my area.

Really great show, beautiful venue, perfect sound.  Loved hearing Star Wars after having gotten to know the album.  We saw them at the GOTV but the alum was new to us and it just didn't hit as well as it did last night.  Overheard an amusing exchange just before the band came on....smell of weed starts wafting through the air and a woman a couple of rows behind us starting taking issue with it, starts glaring around and stating loudly to her husband, "I am not OK with this!"  Moments later I see her taking with the ushers who were looking at her with puzzled faces.  After the show she happens to be right in front of us of her way to the car.  Again I overhear her complaining about the smell and she says, "that was uncalled for, I mean it's 2015, do people really need to be smoking marijuana at a rock concert?"  Hilarious.

Spiders tonight, been years since I've seen an electric one

We are thinking of co

I live in the neighborhood, and there are some nice food & bar options over on Cortelyou road.

 

Purple Yam (Vietnamese-ish)

Cafe Tibet (Cash only)

Asya (Indian)

Sycamore (bar, food out back)

Kumo (sushi)

San Remo (pizza)

Farm on Adderley (farm to table stuff, $$$)

Costello Plan (cocktail bar, tapas food)

 

You also can't go wrong with the Halal food cart on Cortelyou & Marlbourogh.

We are thinking of going for Mexican at Chavela's anyone ever heard of the place?

Maybe tonight they bust out a Paul Kantner/JA tune

That would be fantastic. Full electric version of Volunteers?!?! Going tonight with my daughter for her 14th birthday!

Set list?

Debbie downer here: felt like I wasted 4 minutes and 30 seconds of my life.

1,382 posts on a message board...seems like you might not be a stranger to wasting time.  Video had it's moments, fun.

Prices dropping already. Not to get all conspiracy theory here, but I do think that a good chunk of tickets are never even put on sale, they just go right to the secondary market. If a $75 ticket sells for $85 in the end that's 10 extra dollars. Some folks will pay hundreds, they hedge their bets.

.....I'm not going to whine after reading here how folks got shut out. But that's my report.

Kind of sounds like you are

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.

Never had a problem with a presale for Wilco. I think that the problem was clearly on their end thus the apology email from the band. Will try again today....

Didn't get tickets for 2/6 Brooklyn show. Will try again tomorrow, but what a mess. Secondary market seems to be flooded with tickets. Seeing this more often nowadays. I think that's because a lot of these tickets go directly to the secondary market and are never even offered to us regular folks. And all that I want to do is bring my daughter to the show for her birthday she's 14 years old. Great that this is what she wants, sucks that it's so hard to get tickets.

Thanks, but it just brought me right to Wilco's webpage for the Brooklyn show I am looking for which is sold out. 

Below is an excerpt of the email that was sent regarding the presale.  Neither link brings you to the events page.  Hoping for better luck with the regular on-sale as I would like to take my daughter to the Saturday night show in Brooklyn.  If anyone with any influence reads this, please adjust the presale links.  Never had a problem in the past.

Wilcoworld Access members, new US east coast tour dates have been announced in support of Star Wars. Full details are below. Presales begin tomorrow, Wednesday, October 14th at 10 AM EDT, right here. 

To access the presale, click the presale link for your event on the Shows page and sign in to your account. From there follow the directions to purchase tickets. 

If anybody is still trying to get tickets try the soudkick site. Type in Wilco and go to the dates you want.

link?

That sucked.  Poor instructions, very unclear.  Reviewed original emails and logged on by 9:30.  No mention of any events page link in the presale emails.  The only way I even went to the events page was after I saw it posted in this thread.  Needless to say I did not get tickets.  

Hey, Broken Foot! I believe we met at the Cooperstown show at the Ommegang Brewery in 2012, and then again at SS3. I was there with my twin daughters - we were behind you at Ommegang, releasing balloons with you, if I remember correctly. I recognized your wife and daughter in the picture. Is it Greg (or Craig?) from New Jersey?

Hey, how are you?  Yes, it's Greg, good memory.  I am pretty bad with names so you will have to remind me.  I do recall that when we met at Cooperstown you were wearing a Lebowski (Art) shirt.  And, your friend (who's name I also forget) blew up one of the balloons manually.  My kids have referred to him as the Standing O guy because he showed them a dance move at Cooperstown.  And, the balloon launch has become our tradition for the start of any Wilco show we are at.  We were fortunate to have seen the band at Lockn and the Capital Theater over the past couple of months.  Also saw Tweedy this Summer at a free show up in Maine.  I thought that I might see you there, because I think that's where you are from.  At any rate, looking foward to this year's SS, got our tickets yesterday.  Funny that my wife and daughter are in the picture right?   

We are a family of 5 and definitely set up some chairs so the kids can sit down and rest as needed, it's a long day. Last year we were back by the soundboard. Chairs up front don't make sense. By the way....did I mention that the picture on the Solid Sound page is of my wife and daughter! I did, but I'll say it again.

Just got the Solid Sound email and.....that's my wife and daughter in the picture. Really cool!

Not only did they close with Ripple. The audience sang the whole song. The band didn't sing one word. I've got a crappy video of it that I can upload if anyone is interested. When it was over, Jeff said "you killed it!" to the crowd. Pretty awesome way to end the run even if I don't like the dead.

Would love to see video, it's a magical song and perhaps one of the greatest lyrics ever written.

Great show. Really enjoyed the varied setlist. Everything was played very well and the sound in the balcony was perfect. Highlights for me were Company in My Back, Poor Places, He'll is Chrome, Ashes, It's Just That Simple (finally!!!), Laminated Cat, and Radio Cure. I also loved the acoustic encore set, particularly the True Love. It was cool how they lowered the lightbulbs from when they played the last four. This is a venue that I have been to a bunch of times over the past couple of years and I was excited to see Wilco there. If you have never been and you get the chance go, I can't imagine being disappointed. It was my wife's first time to the Cap and our first time seeing Wilco without one or more of our kids since 2008. The vibe up in the balcony was very mellow and I would say that they energy level of the crowd was quite low. Other than a couple of people off to the side, everyone was sitting. Would have liked to dance a bit but was fine listening and was really able to soak it all in. Would have liked to see them take advantage of the projected lights on the walls, but It seems like Phil is the only one who uses them. On a related note Nels will be sitting in with Phil this Saturday at the Cap. Went down to the floor for a bit and it seemed like a drunken mess, lots of yammering and loud talking. Looking forward to Solid Sound.
