I have one gold for Friday. Steve

That's great, the ticket's yours. I'll put your name on it. I have 2 other people that I'm getting tickets to, plan is just to meet in line if that works. In the outside chance I can't make the show, I can email tickets. I'll be in touch as the date gets near. I think the total for ticket was $159 or so with fees. Steve

No only have one gold ticket for the 14th as of 1-22.

I now have 1 gold for Friday as of 1-22.

Jcamp has the ticket..

I have 1 extra gold ticket for the 2-15 vic show. Face plus fees, only what I paid. Steve

I have 1 or 2 gold tickets for the 2-14 benefit show. Face plus fees, only what I paid. Steve

I have 2 extra gold tix for Friday the 14th, let me know if you are interested.

Nope, I'm the other asshole. I was seated center, right by the steps, back of first table right next to Gewee who paid $300. Might not have gotten the front of the table because I was a single. I suspect I would have had the same seat for $300, I was there early and only a handful of folks in front of me. Oh well, it was a good cause. I know there were $500 seats right up to pretty close to the show then only showed $300. I don't remember but I think they had 23 $500 tickets and thats probably about the number at the front tables. I'm thinking they may not have sold all the $500 tx? Bef

They are pretty tame, mostly seated.

That's hard to say but I generally get in line 2-3 hours before doors open. There is usually a very small group there then. I'm sure you can show up later then that and get a good seat, just depends where you want to be. There are good seats in the balcony also. Weather will also be a factor of when folks get in line. I'd head down early and if no line hang out at a local watering hole or restaurant until you need to get in line. There are a couple of places very close where you can monitor the line. Steve

You are correct, you can be sitting right behind someone that paid twice as much. I tend to spend extra and still stand in line for hours, BUT... I figure the extra I pay for gold is for a good cause!

I still see the golds popping up at 12:50 so if anyone still needs them, give it a try!

Don't mean to diminish the impact Dylan has had on music or his talent. You are right, No Dylan, no Wilco etc. He is certainly a musical icon. The generation gap could be a good thing. You'd think that a guy might want to visit with someone he inspired. I know, I probably shouldn't have stirred all this up and I probably came across the wrong way. Also correct is the fact that I haven't followed Dylan like I should have. I don't doubt his material is great, it always has been! I was more worked up about the live performance and Dylan's quirky ways. Again, Dylan is a man of great tale

That's funny! I get the feeling not many but the very drunk were impressed. there were some older fans in front of me that saw him in 1966, I didn't think they were too into it. I think they were forcing themselves to like him. They weren't aging hippies with no hair except a pony tail, they looked to be well off and grown up (sorry to any aging hippies if I offend, but really lose the tie-dyes and pony tails, your in your sixties!) Again, not to bash Dylan (or old hippies ), he has contributed greatly to the culture of music and inspired countless musicians but... I had to almost feel

That's what kinda turns me off too. I know, Dylan is Dylan, but that's bizarre not to mention pretty inconsiderate to the other bands who probably have a great deal of respect for him. I wonder how JT feels about it. He probably didn't expect anything different, but still. I couldn't decide if I was a little sad for Dylan or a little angry or both. Nevertheless I have more respect for Jeff and Wilco than any other band. They are truly real people that want to play music for there fans. Sure, Jeff can get a bit testy with unruly crowds, but he just wants the experience to be good for everyon

Well, the show was interesting. RT, MMJ and Wilco were all great. I have never seen the first 2 and was pleasantly surprised. That said, the venue and crowd bummed me out. I'm so used to seeing Wilco at smaller venues with a Wilco crowd. It's hard watching them with as much crowd noise as music. I was very distracted for that reason and several others. First off, they should ban smart phones at concerts! Sorry, but it is really getting ridiculous! I saw people just sitting and surfing the web, texting etc. not to mention holding them over their heads. Many we're so drunk they had to u

I didn't suspect they would, I understand Dylan keeps to himself to put it kindly. Too bad, it would be cool to see them play together, I'm sure jeff would dig it!

Good to know about the sound, I've just been partial to an outdoor venue on occasion. I think Dylan can benefit from the improved acoustics! I've seen him a few times, probably more than I remember! Some absolutely terrible, some not so bad. It's sunny here, I'm in the Quad Cities area. Looked like the humidity is going away tomorrow, here at least. Haven't had a chance to check the Peoria forecast yet. I think the "VIP" (A.K.A. I wasted a bunch of cash) checkin opens at 3:45 and I assume that will be entry time. I will probably get there earlier but trying to avoid waiting in line to

Anyone Going to the Peoria show? Kinda bummed they changed venues from the ballpark to the civic center arena. Wanted to see the show outside. I bought the VIP hot ticket package or whatever. Probably a waste but early entry sounded good, I get tired of waiting in line for hours. I hope the instructions for early entry are the same at the civic center. Said to go to box office and look for check in sign. I guess I will find out. Hope Dylan is good, never been a huge fan and have seen some pretty bad Dylan shows. I've never seen MMJ. Hope it's a good show! Steve

There were at least 2 each night.

I think preferred B was right on saying that Jeff let some of the photo and video action go. I can't imagine him not at least mentioning it in a normal show. I can understand why he didn't want to make an issue of it at a benefit show, it would have been very awkward and probably would have been worse than the photography itself although that was terribly annoying. Especially when they aren't even smart enough to turn off the shutter sound! I'm sure I would have been much more upset if I would have had to see all of the lighted screens in front of me. That makes me crazy! I remember being at

Right when I looked over and saw you running across the street I thought for sure you where going air-bound or maybe under the car! At first I was horrified, then I thought well, that might make a memorable show! Just kidding... kinda! A near death experience will certainly cause a guy to drink, sounds like a rough one. I've been pretty well in the bag a few times but never passed out, at least that I can remember. There's a reason why I no longer drink! Glad you're not dead and you did better the second night.

I completely agree! I thought is was terribly poor etiquette to use the flash. Really... you either don't know how to turn it off in which case you have no business using it or you just have no respect others at the show. I was kind of surprised Jeff never said anything. I was in front so it was all behind me. I remember being at a show farther back and all you see is the screens of everyone phones etc. Very annoying. BTW, those crappy little flashes really do no good anyway and besides, you don't shoot concerts with a flash!!! I'm a photographer and would love to shoot a show but unfortunat

Thanks for posting the setlist! I really enjoyed that rendition of Casino Queen, very cool.
