The vans and people driving were employees from State Theatre. Pat and Glenn were in Hyundai. And the rest of the band and head security (for Wilco) was in the other van. It was really funny to watch them drive up so fast and jump out. I was first in line so I got to see the action pretty close up.

I was up front until Dawned on Me. So I was there for William Tyler and the rowdy talking was really embarrassing. I felt bad for William Tyler. And like you said, it was hard to hear over the murmur. I had my 17 year old daughter with me & she said, "Mom I'm embarrassed for Portland." I shushed 2 women in front of me a few times while WT was playing. I just couldn't take it. They moved away but continued to carry on. I love State Theatre. I think it's fun. It has lots of options for dancing, standing & sitting. I like the bars too, great beer on tap & it's $6.50. I think beer

hmmm. He's been known to jog during Hummingbird & he has no guitar. Was it hummingbird?

Me too! Worst so far for me.

Great to meet you too! I'm glad you were comfortable. For the record, the sound at State is not always muddy. It's a tough room for a sound engineer. I told Stan that he did a good job in a tough place. He was so happy for the compliment! He gave me a set list, too funny. I was thinking the sound would be better back near you guys. I kept thinking that I was too close up front but oddly I think the sound was better just being in the center even though I was so close. I like to be about 15 to 20 rows back but I got surged way up front. Have a great time this weekend!

Damn that was fun!

Yes got a bracelet & my bracelet # is 666. I intend to show Jeff. And they still had some yesterday. I think the post from Bull Moose was last night.

I did and I'm very psyched for both shows!

Sorry for the confusion! There are stationary seats behind the "pit" on the floor. Sometimes they add these strange rows of chairs in front of the soundboard too but not tomorrow.

I posted on State Theatre page today & asked if they were adding chairs to the floor. They said NO CHAIRS. Made me so happy. I have been to GA shows at the State & they added seats.

It's GA. No seats on the floor in front of the sound board to the stage & open seating everywhere else. I did see Tweedy there once & it was a GA show and they added seats in that area. But there's no way they'll add seats for Wilco.

I'm going to this!

Haha no, I didn't hear that idiot. I agree the whole band looked happy but John was jumping out of his skin. Yes, come to Maine open invite for that whole brood. Baseball, beaches, breweries, Boston buddy (that's me), bald dogs (that's Thelma), Bates & Bowdoin (for Joey & Emma) & some cool music coming up too. FB or text me if you want to figure something out for the summer.

I got a text that said, "Wilco is a drag." Another good friend thought it was horrible. A few other friends said that there were some "cool moments." So yeah, whatever...more for me. I left my friends in VIP. And I spent the Wilco part of the show alone. I was about 20 rows away in the center. I had tons of room to dance so that was great and nobody "bad vibed" me about dancing so that was fantastic. I'm used to being alone at Wilco so no biggie. Some people near me knew Wilco but most didn't know any Star Wars. People near me seemed 1/2 tuned in. Some people ran from the front from EKG throug

Holy Shit! That was fun. And of course that was the best California Stars in the history of the world. John was grinning ear to ear. They were all stoked but John was REALLY happy. What a great situation, seeing Wilco in a culture where people dance. Per usual the sound was fantastic. Got to see Star Wars and a few other songs for good measure. Impossible Germany was freakin' crazy. Random Name generator, so good live.

I'm in.

You gotta be kidding me? Deadheads invented self centered. I don't want to act like a deadhead and try to "out dead "anybody who reads this post. I hate that shit more than whiny fans. Believe me, deadheads are the most self centered, self obsessed fans in the universe. Wilco fans come in second but I can't even really speak to that. I've only seen Wilco about 18 times and my first show 2003, so I'm no Wilco cult expert.

There was tea? JK.

Haha. People don't give a crap what they sound like. They are there to experience something they never had a chance to OR re-live something that was special. People who buy a blue- ray of that...hmmm IDK. And the "core-4?" They have no concern of what comes of any blue ray. They have the best in the business for sound engineers and technology.

Had some really loud drunks behind me on Friday and I would have moved but I was trying to protect my friend's tape deck (people tripping, pushing through and spilling). Also was trying to stay reasonably close to my daughter age 17, who was about 10 feet away in front of the board with my buddies 3 boys who were a little younger 12-17 (but they are veterans). People behind me weren't just drunk, they liked Molly & they sang to every song but changed the words with a Molly reference. It still didn't ruin anything for me. I'm sure I've been obnoxious at some point to someone at a show.

Thank you. This drive is long enough as is. I appreciate travel info.,

Good advice!

So another change to the line up.

Hey, I might be interested. Thought I'd check here to see if anyone needed to unload tickets before I bought another pass @ mass moca. My 17 year old has decided to join me, making final plans. PM , me if you think we can easily make that happen on short notice. Thanks. Sorry you can't make it.
