Hope you have an awesome day, Tamala!

Yeah, I mean looking over the setlist, I realize that I've seen most of those songs played live. But kind of in the same spirit as the Wilco Residency, to have them tackle those two albums as complete albums, played live in their intended sequence, would really have been something. Now if they ever do The River in complete form, fuhgeddaboutit. That would be tremendous. Seems like Danny Federici's death has really spurred something in Bruce these last couple of weeks. I mean, I don't know that they weren't already planning on doing Darkness and BtR for this benefit before Danny passed, but

This would have been some show to be at, it sounds like...Damn. Those who were lucky enough to see Wilco at the Count Basie in Red Bank last summer know that place isn't that big. I know there's some Bruce fans here... From the recap on Backstreets: May 7 / The Count Basie Theatre / Red Bank, NJ Notes: Ah, the stuff that dreams are made of... or at least the stuff that fan rap sessions are made of: "They should do the Darkness album start to finish!" Well, they just did. And it wasn't just a Darkness 30th anniversary celebration -- they tackled the full Born to Run album in order, too

A much bigger venue than last night in Bozeman, but I thought it didn't detract from the show as much as other big (basketball arena-esque) venues I've been to. Given the size of the place, I was impressed that they did Reservations. Nice variety in songs for people who got to see both of the Montana shows. Minutiae for nerds: -Jeff (no hat tonight) dedicated Jesus to a "67-year-old woman" who blew past him as he was walking up the 'M' trail earlier in the day. He said she didn't appear to even break a sweat. -On the "I'll check the phone again" part in Hate It Here, Pat pulled out a toy ph

I believe his first show was at the Murat Room in Indianapolis on 7/19/02.

A fun one. Nice to see some good VC representation at the show. I can see why it sold out so quickly. It was not a big place. I think someone said it used to be the auditorium for the elementary school that used to occupy the building. Wacky! One of the looser Hoodoo Voodoos I've ever seen. A good crowd overall. I thought we might get a third encore for a second there; the house lights didn't come up for a long while. Someone who saw a printed setlist told me that Dreamer on My Dreams was listed as that theoretical third encore, which would have been awesome, but it was not to be. Still, the

If I'm not mistaken, he'll be doing a set with his band, the Nels Cline Singers up there, as well as a set with Carla Bozulich under their Scarnella moniker. In terms of the Singers, track down a copy of their latest record, Draw Breath, for sure. And if you get ambitious, then also pick up the one before that, The Giant Pin. You should be able to find those fairly easily online through the usual sources. In terms of Scarnella, they have a record as well, although whether they'll do anything off that at the show is anyone's guess. That could just end up being some improv pieces with Nels and

Oh, God...Dunja. So so sorry to hear about Boris. What a terrible loss. I'll of course be thinking about you and your family during this awful time. All I can think to say is try to remember all of the good times that you guys had and don't dwell on the tragedy of his untimely passing.

Thanks a lot for the review, Three dollars and 63 cents! Sounds like it was a great night. I like the Jazz Standard as a venue and the food is pretty stellar as well. I'm looking forward to a couple of the Singers gigs in June, although I *really* wish that I could make it up to Montreal for Scarnella. Some other time, for sure. By the way, I got an e-mail from Jenny Scheinman (she is awesome) a couple of days ago and noticed this line at the bottom, among her upcoming gigs: -October 28 through Nov 2 at The Village Vanguard with Jason Moran (piano), Rudy Royston (drums) and Nels Cline (guita

Meant to post this earlier, but I was wondering if anyone made the Nels Cline Singers show(s) last night or is going to see the Scott Amendola Band and the Singers tonight. I'd love to hear reports. Unfortunately I could only make it to the first night of Crypto week, on Wednesday, which was great. The first set featured the Jeff Gauthier Goatette. The five-piece band played a couple songs off their upcoming record, House of Return, which will be released in June. Gauthier on violin and David Witham on piano and keyboards gives this group an interesting sound, plus you have the incomparable

Someone posted on Brooklyn Vegan about AEG forgetting to allot 1000 tickets to the box office or something, so it might not exactly be sold out once they sort that out. I'd be kinda surprised if it sold out that quick.

Speaking of which, when was the Wyoming show? Can't seem to find a Wyoming date on Wilcobase. I'm almost sure there hasn't been one this decade, so maybe during the epic Being There days? I fully endorse the 50-state plan, though. I know for sure there's at least one Wilco fan in Hawaii...

You're assuming that scalpers or those working for scalpers wouldn't be among those waiting in line at the box office. Even in the old days, when you had to line up at Ticketmaster outlets, I've seen scalpers hire homeless dudes to wait in line and buy tickets for them. So not having online sales (or limited online sales) doesn't always solve that problem. I'm all for local residents having priority for tickets, but if that was the promoter's goal, then why have phone sales at all? Why not just sell all tickets at the box office? (A rhetorical question. I know the promoter's only goal is to

Obviously you know the place pretty well, and I'm not disagreeing with you. But if they intend to put on more of these "high demand" shows, which it sounded like based on some of the stuff I read in the local paper, then they ought to have more than just a couple of people sitting in a box office manning the phones. Just seems a little quaint, that's all. I consider myself fairly knowledgable about concert venues around the country and I can't think of more than a couple that have no online purchasing option whatsoever. Even symphony sorts of places that wouldn't ordinarily have "high demand"

I've got to say, by way of observation...What kind of a place, in the year 2008, doesn't have some sort of system for selling tickets online?

Yeah, Maud (cough, cough)...I need to get the story behind that!

You should be able to view/download a detailed seating chart here: Tanglewood seating chart

Yay! Thanks Kyle.

Awwww...I was so hoping someone got a good picture of that! Way to go, Maudie! Didn't Jeff throw up his hands and say something like, "I'm done. I can't follow that!" Even though he graciously did...
