Sometimes I wished I lived in Spain...

Drivin' n' Cryin is playing there March...

(not sure of others, but there must be, right...

Must be a fun place to visit and play rock n' roll... :rock :thumbup :wub :w00t

Barcelona is one of my favorite cities in the world, better even than Paris.

 

really? i prefer sevilla (in terms of spain, at least). i found barcelona to be extremely americanized (ie - it seemed people would rather we not even speak spanish to them since everyone speaks english there) and it felt a lot like new york...not like spain. that's just me though. and sorry to hijack this thread.

We might get moderated here (a bit off topic). I spoke alot of Spanish in Barcelona, but whats more, it is hard to keep up with the Catalan which is experiencing a strong resurgence. The barrio gotic is as full of tourists as one would expect, but its got great history, if you want to hang out with more locals its only a couple metro stops away to a less touristy neighborhood.

 

Western Europe as a whole seems to have plenty of English speakers almost everywhere. I can't speak for Sevilla because I have never been there.

hi there from spain! i'm telling you, after catching both jeff's spanish dates last december, i kinda feel very lucky to have the full band back only after six months... i hope they add more spanish dates, i thought jeff's madrid show went way better audience-wise than the barcelona one, which was the winter edition of the very same primavera festival.

 

i was also hoping for a wilco-bragg colaboration on stage. if they hate each other they should get over it, if not for them, for the kids (c'mon!)

Primavera has an amzaingly good line-up. I'm tempted to grab some cheap tickets and head out there..... but then I think 'Wilco in Spain???...... they're bound to step over to the rest over Europe around that time'. Basically I'm hoping for some UK dates.

 

I'm sensing it will happen. New album to promote, a single Euro date.... doesn't stack up to me. Breath officially being held.

.......which makes me hope even more now :lol Jeff, if you're reading this: Paul so needs to do some serious sightseeing in Cologne with a personal tourist guide :ninja

 

Yes, definitely! I've never been to Germany, so I'm hoping for some summer dates there.

 

Actually, I'm really hoping to do the whole "low countries" tour--Holland and Belgium as well. Maybe I can even get someone called Gwen to come along. :D

Well, they've confirmed for ATP today which would surely mean some UK dates around the middle of May...

 

Wow. Could that ATP lineup get any better? I dont think so...
