 I have one spare ticket purchased through the Wilco pre-sale.  Section 102 Row V Seat 6.  Just looking to for face value $85.00.

Sure hope they start the Toronto and Ottawa shows the same way!

Very few things in life (for me, at least) are as satisfying as the very first listen to a brand-new Wilco song....and to have it come as a complete, delightful surprise just intensifies the fun!

No kidding!!  Honestly, no fuss no fanfare just "here you go - you"re welcome"!!  And I'm enjoying it  a LOT!

Was starting to wonder about whether this event would happen or not myself last night (but also realizing how much work the shows must be to organize and understanding how it may not be feasible this year).  There was a 2 month lead time on ticket sales last time (tix went on sale mid December 2013).

my namesake!

It's a great lyric Diane.

Finally my timing is right - thanks for the link and the party invite!

The webcast started at about 5:09 so I don`t have the first part of the set list, but this is what I managed to scribble down:

Ashes

Even better - THANKS!

Given the amount of time normally allotted for musical spots, I'm guessing it won't be anything too long.

Apologies if this has already been mentioned elsewhere.

Now, I'll get to work on a solution for for non-torrent people.

Thanks so much from one of those non-torrent people!

It's hard to comprehend this being published in the National Post - unreal. 

That said, a bunch of us waiting to move up front after the photographers were ushered out after the first 3 songs wondered about just what the criteria were for getting media wristbands...I swear there were "photographers" there who looked like they were 16 using iPhones for their photo shoot.  I guess personal blogs count!   The NP review is pathetic - they didn't even use a photo from the event!  

The festival is in its infancy, but I thought it was well organized and I would definitely go again.  For a better sense of what it's about, check this article:

I'm technically challenged and I also have a lousy memory, but here is a shot (hopefully) of the setlist from last night's show.  The order of the songs was not as listed and they didn't play Whole Love or Airplane, but did play Passenger Side, ITMWLY...maybe one more...(I'll Sing It? - don't quote me).  No encores at this festival (they didn't close).  I thought it was a fun, loose show with lots of joking with the crowd.  I think Jeff spotted some people "singing along" with the new material (kind of hard to do since the record isn't out) yet and he made a wise crack to the effect that everyone should feel free to make up the lyrics as they went along because he might be able to use them (for free).

Hope this single shows up at all of the shows - cool :-)

Loved it from the first listen...even though (and probably because) it's not what I was expecting.  Delighted.

Here's a very intriguing little teaser.

Those are Glenn's children. And this was Mariana Neri's request for the covers show at Solid Sound.

That was great - would love to see more of this practice footage!

Thanks for clarifying Calvino!  

So the Autumn Defense have just announced for the 9th which has got me thinking about a few vacation days in Chicago (in the summer for a change).  How does this work for the concerts?  It is free for lawn and ticketed for something closer to the stage?

It could be the album he recorded with his son.

I wondered the same thing when I first heard a reference to a new solo album.

Damn - missed it...and none of the sites I've found for viewing full episodes will stream outside the USA :-(

 Jeff at Ottawa Bluesfest on July 4th. 

Thanks for the tip!! That gives me some real options! I have a dear friend who lives south of Toronto, but...it's 4-5 hrs. to Ottawa, & then about 5 hours to Oakville...so, this is a little less likely than I thought (after being pleasantly surprised with where Ottawa was, I did the whole maps search for the potential road trip- not pleased with the Ottawa to Toronto end of things), but not out of the question yet. Knowing it won't sell out, makes it that much more interesting a possibility...hoping there's lots of other dates (NYC, Cleveland, the Roch-Buff-Syr. axis) that will keep me out of Ottawa, but if things are scarce, I might just have to be traveling in Canada a whole lot...who knows?

I have the same hopes linclink regarding shows in NY state (and I live in Ontario just 40 mins from TO)...I already bought my 3 day pass for TURF and have to decide now about whether I want to sell it and get 2 single day tix so I can drive up to Ottawa on the 4th. I don't think they are posting the day-by-day schedule for TURF until April 9th.  I agree about Bluesfest rarely selling out of single day tickets- I think it's a pretty safe assumption you can get a single day given the size and the number of days the festival runs (except maybe for some of the weekend days where the huge "draws" are playing).  I haven't been for a few years and am not sure what the capacity of the field is now that they have moved back to the original site.

Toronto Urban Roots Festival - listed as one of the headliners July 4-6:  http://torontourbanrootsfest.com/lineup/

The Ottawa Bluesfest starts the same weekend and runs for 10 days - it brings in a lot of big acts (many of which are anything but blues)...I could see a show being added to that one.  The lineup hasn't been announced there yet.

Jeff has also been added to the Toronto Urban Roots Festival (TURF) July 4-6!
