I'm trying to remember when Jeff went on there with TWEEDY in june. I know Handsome Family started around 7:45... initially the venue said Jeff would be done at 10:30, but he played until a little after 11.

Paul McCartney has little screens with the words on them like a teleprompter. I watched some documentary where he was angry with the tech for missing one word in "Yesterday". I thought it was very funny, also as I type this it occurs to me that it was probably staged.

I sure hope the "Evening With Wilco" means what we think it means for this upcoming jaunt. Surely, because it meant that back in 09-10 it will again. Because that show layout, at the Ryman would be amazing. I imagine they'll go on at 8:30 or so and be off around 11, because the Ryman's got a pretty strict 11-11:30 curfew.

That is neat!

Pretty sure the pair of them for night 2 are spoken for. I do have 1 extra for night 2. Pretty sure, also, they're not going to cancel the orders either, as my husband's credit card has been charged.

Welcome! Maybe if enough of us are going to the Ryman we can organize some kind of meet up?

front row center for knoxville. my husband and i won't be sitting together, he'll be 6 rows behind me, but that's okay.

I hope we get to hear the TWEEDY tunes we haven't heard yet.

I hope I win that damned guitar. I've been trying for 6 or 8 years to win a wilco guitar at this point, dang it!

I think we are going to try to stay somewhere cheap outside of Nashville the night between shows. We can't afford the usual place we go (Embassy Suites on Broadway) because we've ended up with 3 extra tickets that we can't use (hoping my friend takes 2 of them) Ended up buying about $500 worth of tickets. :-/

I always thought she was funny.

Yeah, I pulled nothing. Did anyone note ticket limits for yesterday's front gate? I fear we went over the limit if there was one.

It's WHOLELOVE at least for night 1

That is an awesome setlist! I really like the 3-punch knock out combo of "Poor Places" "Art of Almost" and "I Might" the last time I saw them they did that, and it was great.

I forgot the OH shows start tonight. Oh man I can't wait to check After The Show

Like this and this one where he name drops a certain band https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3sRNfhMyV8#t=28

when he was on tumblr years ago his handle was DRA too. he had some awesome posts...

Also, is anybody else trying for Ryman tickets here on VC? I got an email about a 2nd pre-sale tomorrow.

With an attitude like the one you've got I wouldn't be surprised if this was karma telling you something... Plenty of folks on VC have been shut out of pre-sales here in the past (myself included at least 3 times in the last 4 years). It's nothing new. Your griping about it does nothing but feed your own negativity. There is absolutely no reason in the world to be such a smart ass about it. With that being said, is it too early to start a Ryman roll call thread?

It's through Ticketmaster on Friday.

I think Tweety is blowing this out of proportion. It's not like it was the general on sale or anything. There are many more tickets that will be available come Friday. No reason to be so grumpy and outraged. It's 10% of what is likely a 2000+ seat venue.

Chill man. There's only 10% of tickets out there today. General on sale is Friday. It'll be okay. Where there's a wilco there's a way.

So, we have 2 extras for Nashville night 2 now

I still want to try for better for night 2, because there's a pole in our row. EDIT- Just pulled Pit for night 2 front row. i am shaking. jesus.

Also, I am pretty sure Frontage messed up, and the Ryman gigs were supposed to go on sale at 10 CDT... cos the venue is in central time. We got front row section 1 for the Ryman night 1,, and halfway back on the main floor night 2. Not bad.
