  1. I didn't keep a comprehensive set list but in addition to the previous posts, the surprises(for me) were: New Madrid It's just that simple and hoodoo voodoo to close the set.
  2. Anyone (Solace maybe?) ever been to a show at Midway Stadium? Where is the stage set up. I was thinking that lawn seats (on the field) would be the best bet to try to get close, but from the way others are talking, that isn't the case. They aren't behind the stage or anything, are they?
  3. All time favorite UT moment. Of course, that was before Achtung changed Jeff's life.
  4. I requested Fergilicous but alas, 'twas not to be.
  5. I've seen them 8 times and last night was probably the best musically - Duluth in the rain was special, but probably not as crisp. Jeff was in great spirits. A guy right in front of me, in the front row, seemed to be on something and was grabbing his crotch like crazy. Jeff asked him if he needed to go to the bathroom because he had "never seen anyone grab their penis so often at a wilco show." He said that when his kids do that they usually have to go to the bathroom. Then a couple of friends of the crotch grabber started to getting a little touch happy and Jeff told them that they shoul
  6. I do not work for TM or a venue although I do have some experience with them. All I am saying is that when a band plays at 1st Ave and there is no building charge, that doesn't mean that first ave is letting them play for free. The charge for the building is already built into the ticket... so my point is how is it OK to build the price into the ticket then charge a facility charge?
  7. I understand the convenience argument by ticketmaster - they would say if you don't like it, go to the venue and buy the tickets. But if anyone here has ever gone to a venue to get tickets, the odds of actually getting a good seat while some 16 year old kid behind the counter tries to figure out how to bring up the right event and process the transaction is zero. Pearl Jam definitely had it right in 1996... its just too bad no other big band took the crusade to the next level. And re: the building fee... I just don't understand that. Isn't the band already paying for the building when t
  8. Thanks for anything you can do. Please PM me.
  9. BPB sings the Greatest Palace Songs (or something to that effect)
  10. The reason that people expect Ryan to do interesting, different shows is because he used to do them. He used to actually act like he wanted to be there, talking to the audience, smiling, playing a varied setlist. The last 3 times I've seen him he has acted like he couldn't stand the crowed or having to play. That isn't fun for anyone... especially when you spend $50 on him.
  11. Can we get some elaboration on the title? Sounds like the beginnings of some classic banter.
  12. I think Glenn is sporting the Rhett Miller look these days. Open shirt, long sweaty hair. Great show, not quite up to Duluth standards but closer than I expected them to get. BTW, so glad people finally stood during IATTBYH. There was no energy in the room prior to that point. And plus, "Its a fucking rock show."
