  3. Are you offering to split as I only need 1?
  4. I need one for the pit in Atl please.. thanks in advance
  5. Yes but it's still 'Roo. Even having VIP, it's barely tolerable. If you don't have VIP, and you're over 30 & mature, you will hate it. We had tremendous connections, backstage access, free beer & water & some free food, and it was still a major hassle. The logistics are at times very difficult to manuver, meaning just getting from one stage to another presents problems. The VIP camping is at best okay. You walk a football field length to get a shower; the shower in the camper sucks. Period. If you take your own tour bus in, that would be the way to go. If you're thinking of the cam
  6. This was a pretty good show. Since I'm kinda old school, any show that ends with the double shot of Monday & Outta Site is alright with me. Definitely a quirky place. Sometimes I think that the quirkier it is, the more they get off, because, well, because Jeff said so lol. First time driving in from ATL, where I now live, to see a Wilco show. The drive back kinda sucked; it reminded me of driving back from 9:30 Club shows. Glad I blew off the MS show. At least set list-wise, it was not as good. I hadn't seen them since Merriweather, and imo that was just an okay show. I've noticed the b
  7. I usually only use the board to look for a tik but have read stuff on here for years. Now into my 30's on shows seen starting with the '97 Being There tour. Anyway, a few thoughts on the Beach Boys, who do seem to have a love/hate effect on people. First off, a few facts. Like them or not, they're American musical icons & Brian is legitimately a musical genius, savant, whatever you want to say. That outta the way, I had never seen them or Brian until the Smile Tour, when the reviews coerced me to go. Honestly, I thought that was pretty fabulous, and a solid handful of the excellent playe
  8. Dude, give it a rest already. Even as you contradict yourself, I get what you are saying & even agree to a certain extent. I won't deny that the slower songs do not move me the way the rocking songs move me - which is, I think, what you are really trying to say?. That's pretty standard for rock bands with me. But the method rarely works, especially on message boards. Last night's show ranks pretty high overall in the almost 35-ish I've seen. (On this tour) beats out night #2 in Jersey b/c there's no doubt that the crowd enthusiasm carried the day & took Jeff to the next level. L
  9. LMAO. Nevermind it went over the heads of 90% of the forum. Oh, BTW, I never saw that movie. ;
  10. FTR, Wilco regularly played 2.5 hour shows "back in the day." It was a topic of conversation between Stan the sound guy & I last night. Great to see these long shows w/ the acoustic segue, for sure.
  11. Red Eyed & Got You were on the setlist in the encore but not played. Can't Stand It & I'll Fight were also on it but not played.
  12. As a veteran of 31 Wilco shows, the first in '97, this one was a strange one. First, from the 5th row (equiv. of about 10/11th row factoring in the pit and aisle space), it sounded pretty close to terrible - a rare occurence at a Wilco show. Second, bizarre crowd, regardless of "why," & I am not snarking Savannah per se b/c it's a great, great city, but just not really that into it at all - and the band feeds off that. I saw that C'ville show, btw, a last show of a tour that was brilliant, so go figure on opinions. IMO it was far better than last night. Wish I could go to ATL but I am hitt
  13. It was electric, and Ryan played guitar for the 1st time since his accident. Pretty great show, especially juxtaposed against the Hiro show on Tuesday.
  14. I had to make that choice, along w/ a friend who had purchased both sets of tix. We saw Ryan. Not my choice. He WAS very, very good & the venue - the Hiro - was awesome. But the setlist last night makes me wish I was there. Oh well...we knew it would be a good show! Glad it lived up to expectations! There's always the west coast later this summer!
  15. Yes, I did get the actual setlist. Originally they were playing Theologians after Walken. Sunken Treasure was the first encore song listed, followed by CA Stars, Poor, & Spiders. Second encore was What Light, HMD, Late, & Outtasite in that order. No third encore.
  16. It's funny that reading all the snarks reminds me of when Springsteen does an E St band tour. A few shows in, if he doesn't play 5 chestnuts & Rosie EVERY night, 77 posters are getting all po'ed. While I empathize with the posters about blackberries, hipster crowds, et al, the reality was more in what MattZ wrote...about how a show like this one should make you think about a song like Jesus, Etc & its relation to the city, about how maybe under the microscope it wasn't a great show - honestly, none of the shows so far have been GREAT, imo - it was still a very good show & last bu
  17. I need to type more carefully. Handshake was betw. Kamera & Shot. Good catch! Handshake was better last night than at MPP.
  18. Ok, that needs an explanation. I believe the original post was because the owl at MPP actually got mentioned & moved to a prominent viewing place on stage and was in general a comedic moment. Not so last night. That's all.
  19. Set list in order, from the board: Throw in Acuff...where? I forget, and this is correct: Seeds Face Heart Kamera Handshake Shot Germany SBSky Shake It Off War Jesus Theologians Hate It Here Walken I'm The Man Hummingbird Ashes Spiders ====== CA Stars HMD Late Greats Always Wheel Ashes & Spiders were supposed to be the first encore. But b/c of the glitch (bad guitar cable immediately followed by Jeff's mike going out), they played straight through due to curfew. Jeff even mentioned it. Great venue, it was nice from 7th row center. Saw Springsteen here a long time ago. Totally diffe
  20. Had to read through all the comments before making mine. Prolly my 15th or so show, which started in 97. Sorry that I won't remember poster names for reference. Anyway, most of the first half of the show imo did really suffer from some bad sound, with a muddled middle & various guitars desperately in need of a tweak from the sound board...a tweak upward. Nels guitar was barely heard on a few songs, so much so that the guy next to me looked at me & I was nodding, saying yeah WTF is Nels guitar. Like minds.... I was in row J center, so it should sound good there if anywhere. But apparent
  21. As a veteran Wilco show goer, I want to say a few things to the C'ville people here, and to the city. YOU FOLKS ROCKED. Easily THE most spirited crowd I've ever experienced at a Wilco show, and I've seen them all over. It all just came together Sunday night, didn't it. The venue (btw, it just received a sound upgrade, which is why some of you said it "sounded better than b4)," the weather, and the vibe of the city. You have a gem of a city. Christ, this notherner wants to move there! (be nice!). It was all just real good. And the band responded in kind. Tweedy wasn't being sarcastic (for a cha
