Nobody will be playing opposite of Radiohead, who willl close the festival on Sunday night.

Not true. They are playing in Indianapolis on Sunday the third. They are playing Friday at Lolla.

maybe its just bad luck

Nope - that is a typical Dave show. I've been to at least 5 like that.

Going to see Mike Ness tonight in Chicago. I don't see the show info on the backstreets link. When did the show occur?

I think I'd be hard pressed not to have fun throwing back a few beers at a Jet show

I did just this when they came to the Vic a couple years ago and low and behold, The Blisters and their parents were watching from one of the boxes. It was a fun show.

The album was originally scheduled to be released on 9/11 but was postponed due to the attacks. Not sure if there's more to it than that. The album was definitely eerily prescient in jesus etc and war on war.

That isn't true. Albums that were scheduled to be released on 9/11 weren't then not released. Love and Theft came out that day. YHF may have at one time been scheduled for that date, but not up until that date.

I like the first three:

Izzy Stradling and the Ju Ju Hounds

117 Degrees

Ride On

The song writing goes downhill after that.

Even so, it is amusing that Izzy has put out 7 albums since Use Your Illusion and Axl has put out a cover album, a live album and recorded 5 released songs with other people.

Jandek!

I wasn't that impressed by any of the bands. Thought the Walkmen's rythm section was lacking and that spoon was just going through the motions. Maybe that was just me though...

A. Spoon is too big to open for Wilco in theaters and B. I saw them last night and it was unfortunately boring.

Itunes sold it for a while today

And people are already second guessing the single selection...

I was at the Metro show and have to say that it was a blast.

Can anybody tell me if the Bozeman/ Missoula shows are GA or reserved seating?

8 nights in a row 5/19 - 5/26. Who does this? Can Jenny's voice hold up?

I wouldn't be so sure. Obama was asking people to pay $100 for a ticket.

I just found this thread. I was planning on going to all five shows, but came down with a fever after/ before night 4. Missed the finale. Wilco makes me sick!

I knew Maxim was bad, but not that bad.

Any body catch John playing the Hawks Scoro game between periods? I heard he did ok?

I think this is a great idea. what would the crowd all do together?

They need to get Carla up there for Kicking Television one of the last three nights. It looked like she was there tonight. Would love to see her back up on stage with Wilco.

And how about the Blisters for Just a Kid?

Yes, it should be mentioned, and fast, that John got a huge ovation after Simple. Jeff even said that it was a long time coming. Best show I have ever seen (26th Wilco show). I have never seen a real encore at a show at this level (2000+ people). Unreal. The backdrop had been raised for god's sake.

Cameras and tapers were present

uberblee has it exactly right.

There is usually a coat check downstairs near the restrooms.

Forecast is for a high of 23 low of 16 with snow. Have fun waiting outside for 5 hours! I don't think most people will be lining up more than 30 mintues in that weather. Yes the Riv is GA, but if you get there early and can park in the front row of the balcony or on the rail.
