Wendy Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 I'll bring this up later...but Wendy, The Elbow Room! 2 blocks from the Murat, excellent pub/ restaurant for a pre-show gathering! That's a new one for me. I only know about MacNiven's -- 119 kinds of beer and 2 blocks down Massachusettes from the Murat. Well, wherever we end up going, it will be great to meet everybody! And with reserved seats, we can spend that pre-show time having fun instead of standing in line, then at the last minute dash to the show. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

intodeep Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 Holy crap! How in the heck are they playing Chastain Park in Atlanta? That seems like a REALLY big venue for them.... hmm... edit- on inspection of the venue website it looks really cool! (i wonder if i get a family or at least "my last name's the same!" discount? ) Chastain is such a bitter sweet venue for me. It should be incrediable. Outdoors large comfy seats. It is intimate for it's size. It is great if you splurge and get the seats in front of the stage they are usually (depends on the band) set up as tables and you can brign a cooler with beer/wine and have dinner as you watch the show. BUT the crowds there tend to be bad at times. Very uppity. Very Cheese & Wine. you can buy season passes and alot of folks do this becasue they tend to have a lot of old classic rock bands come through during the summer that older people go ga ga for. Some people go there more as a social gathering then to see the concert. Now i assume wilco will have less of these people because they will have no clue who wilco is but i saw Dylan and Young there and both had some horrible people in the crowd. It was during Youngs Greendale tour and he was playing bandit (a quiet song) and the crowd was so loud neil got pissed off and cut the song off midway. He yelled at the crowd and said he would play electric songs the rest of the night so he would not have to listen to the crowd talk while he played guitar. anyway i'm stoked. I can bring a cooler full of beer and enjoy some wilco hopefully none of those vile uppity non fans will be near me Quote Link to post Share on other sites

On the latter disc will be the 48-minute documentary "Shake It Off," directed by Brendan Canty and Christoph Green ("Burn To Shine," "Jeff Tweedy: Sunken Treasure").

jff Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 anyway i'm stoked. I can bring a cooler full of beer and enjoy some wilco hopefully none of those vile uppity non fans will be near me  There's a strong possibility that you will not be allowed to bring in a cooler at this show. As nice as it is to be able to bring in a cooler and not buy $5 beers, I'd gladly leave the cooler at home if it means the people in the best seats are NOT making business deals with their associates during the concert. The tickets usually say "No Coolers" when it is a non-table set-up concert: CHASTAIN PARK SEATING INFOAccording to Chastain Park's offical website:Chastain Park Seats are broken down into tables (each table seating accomodates 6), reserved orchestra seats, and a general admission area on the lawn. Many Chastain Park Amphitheatre events are considered"table set-up" shows, where Chastain Park patrons may bring personal-size coolers and/or picnic baskets with any food and drink desired and, for those who purchase orchestra seats, TV trays are allowed in the spacious aisles. Lawn ticket holders are allowed to bring blankets for their picnics. Some people have even been known to bring caviar and champagne; others bring a six-pack and a bucket of chicken. Table ticket holders have been known to bring tablecloths, votive candles, and silverware. Food and drink are available there at Chastain Park for purchase inside the amphitheatre from some of their full-service catering, or from concession stands. Attire at the amphitheatre ranges from very casual to almost formal. Every so often, there is a show that is a "No Table/No Carry-Ins" show. This means that no tables will be set up and no food or drink will be allowed brought from outside the amphitheatre. No TV trays, coolers, picnic baskets or backpacks will be allowed. Blankets, however, are still allowed for Lawn ticket holders Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My friend Chris said that Chastain sucks as far as hearing when you get a reasonable distance from the stage.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
evil horn Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 ...wow. I'm so excited about the idea of doing a Pines and Hammerstein back to back trip. Â what can folks tell about the vibe of the Pines venue? places to stay? are we having a picnic? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
parisisstale Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 ...wow. I'm so excited about the idea of doing a Pines and Hammerstein back to back trip.  what can folks tell about the vibe of the Pines venue? places to stay? are we having a picnic? Quite possibly the best vibe of any Wilco show I've ever been to. Just a big park with (surprise!!!) lots of pine trees ("and the smell of popcorn and pot lofting through the air"). Good times, good times.  Don't know much about the area, but I was lucky enough last year to share a room at the lovely Northampton Inn with another super-fan that I picked up along the way (thanks Lisa)!!!

I'm so excited about the idea of doing a Pines and Hammerstein back to back trip.  what can folks tell about the vibe of the Pines venue? places to stay? are we having a picnic? I'm thinking of doing the same thing. Pines last summer was a fantastic show kind of just a big lawn surrounded by trees and this sort of castle-like structure. Don't know exactly where to stay but from what I could tell its kind of in the middle of nowhere. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
So Long Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 yeah my friends and I showed up at Pines at like 12 in the afternoon. We just hung around drank Sunny D and watched Jeff wrestle with an inflatable raft for a bit. Good times... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JHamm Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 I wonder why Charlotte instead of Asheville. The Asheville shows/crowds have been great. The crowd at the last Charlotte show was dead. I guess I might make the trek to Charlotte. Not sure but maybe it'll work out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Good times...  so you get inside the venue that early? or just the park?  ok. this weekend can't get here soon enough. I read up the venue's site about renting a picnic table. I'm thinking about doing that for a day. it'd be fun to grill some stuff and throw a frisbee around before the show. I love a tailgate. picnic tables  mmm. sunny d.

jenbobblehead Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 I've been to Shelburne VT many times ... one of my favorite destinations. There's a museum (or two?) there, and I take it the show is on the museum grounds. Shelburne Farms (not clear if the two are affiliated) is around the corner, and has a pricey lodge, and the world's best baby farm animal petting zoo for which I am a total sucker, and majestic views of Lake Champlain and the Adirondack High Peaks. Just gorgeous. I'll take this over a NYC concert any day of the week. Im on the road starting mid-to-late July.  ok! hopefully caliber s liverwurst is paying attention to this thread and will get us tickets. i'd like to see the VT show AND the pines.

Preferred B Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 JUN-14 CINCINNATI, OH ARONOFF CENTERÂ I'll add it to the original post, while I'm at it. The Toronto date, too. I hope BadInnPlaid doesn't mind. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scalzunfield Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Man I'm 60 miles from Cincy and 70 from Indy. Back-to-back dates. I was pleading for this. Now if they'd just add Louisville (which I'm only 65 miles from), I'd be happier than a pig in shit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GeckoRlz Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 I'm surprised that they picked Ovens to play at again.. I figured after the god-awful crowd there was last time, they probably would have shunned it for all eternity. Well, Jeff takes issues with the crowd at so many shows, the list of venues he's never had problems at would be pretty damn short by now... Besides, I thought ovens was great - one of the best sounding venues I've ever been at. That show has a special place in my heart as my first wilco show, and I'm really excited they are returning. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
misslaura Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 I just checked the Pines website and it says that tix go on sale on 4/13/07. It probably won't sell out, but I still wanted to put it out there. The Pines is incredibly chill and beautiful. It looks like an elf castle. I encourage everyone to go. But, show up early. I showed up early (or so I thought) and they were already half way through IATTBYH (which was like the 4th or 5th song!). I almost had a heart attack when I heard it from the parking lot.
