What are the boys going to do for a special Fri night this year? I would settle for Summerteeth in full followed by A Ghost is Born. Another covers set would be cool, hope we don't get another accoustic set. New album played in full? Thoughts?
-
Any rumors of other acts appearing at SS 2019 yet?
-
Have only listened once. but am I the only one a bit underwhelmed by the album? I quite liked the last 2 Wilco albums, but he seems to have taken some of the less interesting parts of those and done something that is not too far removed from them. There is a real similarity with those albums (and the Tweedy album) and wonder what is the need for Wilco albums if the solo ones are going to sound virtually the same (excepting Nels' guitar solos) . How does he decide which set of songs go out under which name?
Favorite track: I Know What It's Like.
-
Wilco opening for REM in 1999 was when I discovered them (I did have Mermaid Ave already), to be fair Wilco absolutely blew REM off stage. They were my favorite band at the time, but were never the same after Bill Berry left.
-
Very quick compared to past Solid Sounds. I seem to remember February as the month that the line-ups are generally announced, with the three-day schedule out in April/early May.
Thanks!
-
Early bird tickets appear to be gone. That was pretty quick? When will the line-up likely be announced? Early next year?
-
VIP tickets look interesting, but probably too much for me. Am guessing the surprise pop up is unlikely to be Wilco/Jeff. but you never know! Anybody stay in a dorm room before?

Yours to own forever through amazon's streaming service.

Nice write up. ITMWLY was earlier. I think this setlist is pretty close.

Orchestra row B but I am pretty sure it is front row right side. Face value which comes to $72 Canadian. Send Private Message and post here. Pay by Paypal or email bank transfer and I will email pdf ticket. Thanks.

Front row for Kingston and Ottawa
Wonder why itinerary is Kingston-London-Ottawa. Makes little sense to me
-
I need a Wilco fix. Anybody think there will be more dates announced for later in the year? Preferably in East Canada or North East US for me!
-
Anybody got their chairs in position yet upfront?
-
Well, it so happens I completely agree. In fact, if I may share a specific recommendation, listen late at night when you've just gone to bed but are not too sleepy, hit the bong a couple of times and just lay back and listen fairly loud, in the dark.
Don't smoke in bed.

I would vote this way:
1 Sky Blue Sky
2 Schmilco
3 AM
1 because it's an awesome underplayed album, 2 and 3 because they contain the least songs I have heard live.
-
Unfortunately I am in Canada and the shipping costs are scandalous. I added one item and was quoted $20 US, ok I sort of expected that and decided to add several more items to soften the blow. But the shipping costs just multiply, for 5 items the shipping is $100 !!! Who can I complain to?

It's about his hat. How they finally got together (and will never ever again be separated)

What difference does it make to you? Just curious. This isn't the first time Wilco has sold a batch of previously released tunes before...there are dozens of Roadcase recordings out there, many shows with nearly identical setlists. Dozens of songs that sound the exact same way (that is, awesome) performed live.
At least this is something a little more fresh. I'm excited to hear these songs in this setting with Jeff's voice the way it sounds now. Hear how he inhabits these tunes many years after they were written, in a relaxed, great sounding environment. If you're not, fine! Take the griping elsewhere, please?
Are we not allowed to make criticisms here? I just think that a release like this is preying on completists who feel the need to pick up things like a "box set" which actually contains the same amount of music as a normal release, but adds something that I guess 90% of people will just own for the sake of owning. In contrast the live downloads offer good value with zero clutter. I have purchased a few, especially when the setlists are a little different to normal or if it is a show I attended.
The actual CD/record will surely be worth hearing, but Jeff is singing many of these old songs most weeks of the year, if he had revisited a few more obscure selections then I would find that more interesting. No one is forcing me to buy it though. I own every other Jeff Tweedy related release in some format or another (except one Loose Fur album), may give this one a miss.
It's just a personal opinion, if others will love this release then that's fine too.

For a big fan such as myself, who is somewhat of a completist and who has also been hoping for a long time we'd see an official release of fresh recordings of Jeff performing songs solo that he wrote 10 years ago -- or longer -- it gets me very excited. I own everything Wilco has released on vinyl. LPs, 7" singles, rare promo releases, etc., because it's a hobby of mine and I love the music deeply. The joy I'll experience putting the puzzle together with my 4-year-old, who happens to LOVE puzzles and is very good at them, is something on which you can't place value. We'll listen to music together while doing it and we'll be spending time together doing things we love. That's not pointless or bizarre.
Happy for you. If you have fun doing it then that is fine. It is still a pretty strange way to try and get fans to spend more though,
-
Reads "New Jeff Tweedy solo record" and gets very excited. Then reads "reworkings of Wilco songs" and thinks, what a pointless release. And a box set with a jigsaw of Jeff? Bizarre what people will pay extra money for.
-
Further to that, I had a room reserved at Hampton Inn in Bennington through Priceline which I am cancelling, so anyone who needs a room please grab it. It was about $160 a night when I booked it.

Apart from Television the lineup doesn't interest me in the slightest. Had a great time in 2015, but will pass this year and aim for 2019. Maybe once every 4 years is the right frequency for me.

So who is going to snag this terrific Meet-and-Greet, VIP-tix opportunity? Look here to put in a bid, and may the Wilco godz smile down on you!

Do some good with your income! This is a benefit for Northside College Prep in Chicago. Make our children smarter, meet Jeff Tweedy, and sit in the front at The Vic! Win/win/win and then some! Jeff will be his usual talented, engaging self...these are always really special shows! I'm already jealous of the winner.
Only if he promises to take his hat off ....

No. there are enough cell phones spoiling gigs with their light. They could have a vote in advance setlist I suppose. All requests.
