Just noticed. They did War on War, too.

I'm sorry you had a bad experience with the crowd. I was down in the front on the main floor & it was fine down there. I've seen the band countless times & this show would rank among the best. Last summer was mighty here with a very Nels-centric show but he was just as fantastic last night. Jeff was very engaged & funny. We sat right in front of him, leaning towards Nels. When he leaned out over the crowd during shot he he was 5-10 feet from us. One humourous note: it appeared (especially at the start of the show) that Pat & Glenn had perhaps visited a local "green" store. It d

just woke up. still stunned. reservations into impossible germany was the shet. & i didn't think we would get spiders. all i can say is wow! my friend was amazed. she had never seen the band & said it might be the best show we've gone to. high praise as we've seen some awesome stuff. i'm going solo tonight. she wishes she were going but had a commitment with her daughter. the audience sang along with shot in the arm beautifully. worthy of chicago. i was close enough to tell that the band was impressed. can't wait to see what's in store tonight. i rarely do multi night stands but this o

Can't wait for tonight!!!!! Looks like a really good tour to hit the lottery on the presale & score row A. I'm still reeling! Reservations is probably my favorite Wilco song ever & I've never seen them play it.& I've seen many shows. Think I'm certain to get it today and/or tomorrow. Going solo to the 2nd show & got lucky on that one, too. A week after the shows went on sale I went in & put in for 1 ADA ticket (sadly I qualify) just for giggles. Row A came up again! Tonight is with my friend though & she has never seen them. I turned her onto the band & she is a fan

The Seattle shows are in a very small, old theater. A promising sign is the show is starting @ 7:30. Looks like they are aware of the 11:00 curfew at the venue.

Nice! Getting ready for Friday & Saturday. I really don't know how I pulled this off but I've got front row both shows. Taking my friend on Friday (she's excited) & going solo Saturday. I got the Friday show on the presale & went in a week later to see what was available for show 2. I put in for 1 ADA ticket & row A came up. Needless to say, I jumped on that! Woo hoo!

another good article from consequence of sound. can't wait for friday & saturday! http://consequenceofsound.net/2016/08/a-wilco-state-of-touring-on-going-acoustic-rotating-setlists-and-patient-fans/

Are they possibly headed to "Jazz Odyssey" with the multiple bass parts?

It was a tremendous concert. Kudos to CBC for showing sans commercials or editting. The whole thing was tremendously classy & I hope it gave Gordie a little peace & happiness. There's a clip on youtube of Pearl Jam the same night in Chicago dedicating a song to the Hip. Eddie gives a nice little speech about them. Pity they didn't get a lot of attention from the US music press. They had a lot of fine music. Them & 54/40 were 2 great Canadian bands that should've been bigger. I'm lucky living in Seattle, we get a fair amount of Canadian music.

I luv the Hip. Living in Seattle, saw them a lot in the early days. CBC is showing their final concert from their hometown, Kingston, Ontario on Saturday, 8/20 @ 5:30 PDT. No commercials & they are preempting the Olympics. Luckily we get CBC here.

Ya, the Jam (& Paul Weller stuff) have had plenty of good b-sides. REM had plenty, also. & let's not forget Wilco!!!!

The old PNE arena in Vancouver, BC. I remember being shocked that we couldn't score beer at 7-11 on the way to the show. At that time there was no point to 7-11 without beer! Younger, wilder days...

The Cure. The "Join the Dots" box set is awesome.

Some stuff is getting lost about TOTD. I was in the music biz in Seattle during those years (25 years while there still was a music biz) & was witness to a lot. When TOTD was recorded, Pearl Jam didn't even exist as such. Eddie had just moved up from San Diego & it was Mookie Blaylock. Soundgarden had put out indie records & Louder Than Love on A & M. They put out TOTD & did absolutely nothing to promote it. Fast forward about a year (give or take) PJ 10 & Soundgarden Badmotorfinger are out & the whole scene is exploding. A friend of mine worked as a local radio rep

I scored tickets for the Seattle show on Wednesday. You know, Pearl Jam haven't played here for the 25th anniversary. I'm pretty sure Eddie will be at the show here. He shows up at shows all of the time. I have actually seen PJ once without Eddie when they backed Neil Young at the Reading Festival. Needless to say that was pretty good. BTW: This TOTD tour totally caught me by surprise. A very good surprise, indeed!

Has anybody seen Ray LaMontagne w/ MMJ backing him up yet? I've got tickets for Labor Day weekend & am looking forward to the show. Warming up for this one with 2 Wilco shows, haha. Luckily I have a day to recover before Ray.

I've managed to get quite a few shows from the current European tour. They are unreal good. The collaboration with Promise of the Real is special.

Impossible Germany has a nice summer vibe during the guitar meltdown. Kind of a retro feel with the 3 guitars trading licks until the inevitable bowing to Nels.

I'm hoping they change things up on the multi night stands coming up. First time in years I'm going to see a band on consecutive nights.

Thanks!

They played Seattle soon after Star Wars dropped last summer & did the whole thing to start the show. I'm thinking & hoping they have a new one ready before the west coast dates. They seem to be in smaller venues. Maybe a quieter record coming?

People with kids & dogs always want to share their problems.

Got my tickets for Seattle. Tiny venue & only $25!
