Wait until the full tour is announced so you can make a plan. Maybe something out west will be added in early March and you could see that instead of heading home. Visiting NY for the Wilco run is another option. Personally, i was planning to see a few Green Day shows up in Canada in March and now they overlap with the Wilco Beacon shows so will stay home. Another "problem" not deserving in sympathy. I do plan to go to Massey and loved seeing the two shows there in 2011. 

Problem with that is whether or not he needs to try for  tix on the morrow. I'm wondering if they're not going to wind up on the Coachella bill, and play some dates around it in the west/southwest. They haven't played Coachella since 2005. If that's the case, I'd think they won't drop those dates until the January lineup announcement. Same reason Radiohead, who is headlining for the 3rd time, hasn't announced their NA tour dates yet.

Tempted to stay in Chicago an extra night for the Sunday show...wonder if there will be more dates added following Big Ears?

So are we thinking a Sunday night show will be announced today?

Update: this happened

Congrats, guys! I'm so pumped. First proper Wilco show I will have seen in Chicago. Saw them at Lolla in 2008...

i clicked at 11:00 on the dot and nothing. this is the worst ever. 

Keep trying! I've been able to pull a few for each night since my last post.

Looks like all 3 nights sold out in a matter of minutes.

The sound is great there

Sweet, it definitely looks awesome. You guys think there will be an opener?

How's the sound at this venue? I'm sitting 6 rows back slightly off center on Nels' side Saturday night.

So what's the consensus, do we think when all three shows sell out tomorrow, that they'll add more dates? I'm thinking yes. 

Wouldn't surprise me. There are ~4k less tickets available for this Winterlude run than the last. Add a Sunday show, maybe?

only got a pair of far back floor tix for Wed.  

 

Anybody get the Ticketmaster presale code?  Gotta try tomorrow and Fri for the other two nights....

Good luck! I was fortunate enough to get a pair in the 6th row for Saturday night. Now to arrange travel!

Are your seats together? Getting a sinking feeling that ours are on opposite ends (per the seating chart). BBB seats 419 and 420...

They're together. Check the map there.

Impulse bought a pair for Saturday night. Section 4L row BB!

Man...I'm so tempted to fly up for the Saturday show. Wish they'd announce the other dates between Winterlude and Big Ears...

What songs did they play? RNG and ?

Great video/sound! Yea, I wondered the same about the pony tail. Looks like Glenn ditched the Shmilco drumhead?

Sweet! Thanks for the heads up. Will make the afternoon at work better for sure.

This might not be the case...last year both Andrew Bird and Yo La Tengo played Nashville shows and Big Ears in the same week.

 

Other than Solid Sound, Big Ears is by far my favorite festival...definitely a good fit for Wilco. There was actually a fair amount of overlap between Big Ears and SS lineups in 2015. Nels and Glenn have played it in the past so I feel like adding Wilco to the bill has been a long time coming.

That's good to know, thanks! Fingers crossed for some more Ryman shows!

Well that kills the chance of a Nashville date due to the radius clause. Bummer.

Any videos of Common Sense?

For what it's worth, I have the orange vinyl and it sounds great. There's still hope!

Mine sounds good, too. But the needle does move like crazy on side 2.

My Orange copy sounds fine. Black vinyl will always sound better than colored.

 Have you tried it yet? Mine's still packaged.

I havne't opened mine either. Kind of don't want to. But, I have no idea what to do with it haha. I also got the signed poster book in the mail today. Good Wilco day!

ps this album rules

Ryman shows always raise my blood pressure trying to get tickets. Tabernacle in ATL was way easier for some reason. I hate having to contend with Ryman scalpers.

The last 2 shows at the Ryman weren't hard for me via the presale. Even though they put the tickets on sale 1 hour early...The Ryman is simply the best.

Yes. We do.

I hope they play smaller places like last time, but then I also worry that it's gonna be so hard to get tickets.

This. More Ryman shows, please.
