You are never obnoxious, sir. Hope we get to see you!

Very true. I think the guy shut up mostly cos my sister had a very angry look on her face too. She was pissed. And yeah, I've noticed that it's worse in ATL too than other spots for sure. I think it has a lot to do with the venue too. The shows back in 2016 at the Tabernacle were fairly well behaved where I was. Are you considering any of the other shows this tour?

This. The talkers were super discouraging last time they were at the Fox. Atlanta crowds seem to be more and more about socializing and less about experiencing the actual show. There was a doofus in front of us at Radiohead back in April that would not shut up about his condo's mortgage rate for 2 or 3 whole songs. Eventually my sister tapped him on the shoulder and asked him to STFU or take his conversation elsewhere because he was talking over the band. The rest of the show he shut up. Super dumb. I think I'm going to try for tickets for B'ham, ATL, and Asheville, but I'm only gonna pul

Part of me doesn't even wanna try for Atlanta cos the last time they played the fox it was a nightmare getting tickets. Might opt for Birmingham instead cos it's not as busy of a market for the Wilcos. I guess we'll see.

I should have clarified. When I saw them in 2012 here at a mid-sized venue, they were touring on The Terror and did a bunch of stuff from that. I went into it thinking I was gonna get a set like what I saw them do on ACL with Beck when that was on TV and I fell in love with both The Lips and Beck after that...it was a good show (even though my sister got severely dehydrated and passed out in the encore, so I had to do a kind of football charge to get out of there after security whisked her over the rail), but it wasn't exactly an uplifting show experience. I was kinda disappointed they did

Saw the flaming lips on Saturday. They closed out the local shit show of a week long festival my city puts on. It was super awesome. They did tons of old stuff, and because they were on a 40ft high barge on the river they even used biodegradable confetti. Probably Top 20 Concerts territory. The last song was "Do you realize?" and the event organizers launched the fireworks before they even finished the song. Wayne told us at the beginning of the show that the first couple fireworks contained the cremated remains of a stage hand that worked for the local union here, which made it all the more

I with thinking this very same thing. Either him, Neil Young, or Jeff Tweedy. I'm too indecisive. Nah, It's gotta be Paul McCartney. Everything I love about music sprouted from discovering him.

definitely hope to see you Vince! Oh damn. I'm sorry to hear that on both counts. Hope he feels better real quick.

He's gonna be here in May, and I am debating about going. Tickets are really expensive though... We're seeing them on Saturday!

I collect Star Wars stuff. Lots of action figures and stuff like that. I also collect nice hardbound editions of comic book runs. Mostly Marvel and Image titles, a few DC here and there. Been playing guitar since I was 11 (I have 3. A jazz master, a tweedy Martin, and an Epiphone SG)

I agree. It would be great, but I doubt it. They were just in Knoxville last week, so I bet it's 2018 before they hit Nashville or Atlanta again. I hope I'm wrong!

I wish that too. There's not a chance they'd do just 1 night at the Ryman though.

Gah! the place Jeff is playing is awesome. Ugh, I need to go to this, but there's no way I can afford it. Fuck being an adult.

I am not going this year, so I suppose it does not matter, but in 2015 a chair was very helpful to me being able to keep my spot at the rail. Granted, I stayed there basically the entire time Friday and Saturday. I only ventured away for William Tyler and to do the drumming with Glenn. I always had somebody there though in the space. I also protected spaces for my friends. There were a few instances of people being kind of rude about it, but over all it worked out well. Without the chair though, I would not have been able to physically maintain that spot, so if I were going this year it would

Really... the prices I've seen so far have been $100+ for the day.

A day pass is just too expensive for one show. Though it would be super rad to camp in there all day to be up front. It's a beautiful space.

Definitely check with KungFu. When Star Wars came out the CD I ordered got lost in the mail because USPS actually put a sticker on the boy where my address was so it got marked as undeliverable and return to sender. Maybe something similar happened to your order?

It reaches a point though where it's super disruptive and disrespectful. Especially at a Wilco show. Jeff spends hours sometimes making a set list. Very rarely will they honor a shouted request, and odds are if they do, it was on the list anyway. So it's pretty pointless to yell at them to play something.

I'm so scared to touch the shock gum. I'm just gonna look at it.

Last time it wasn't too bad for me, but in 2011 I was shut out of night 2. Waited all day the day of show to get extra release production tickets for the 2nd night. Got em and it was great show, but so stressful.

Ryman shows always raise my blood pressure trying to get tickets. Tabernacle in ATL was way easier for some reason. I hate having to contend with Ryman scalpers.

Yes. We do. I hope they play smaller places like last time, but then I also worry that it's gonna be so hard to get tickets.

Dang. I'm sorry to hear this as well.

Awesome to hear! I'm so excited!!
