feisty10 Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 I live in the SF bay area and was wondering when they are gonna announce west coast dates, if they are coming out here anytime soon. maybe after europe? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blindgonzo Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 In an article linked somewhere on this board, it said that more North American dates would be announced for the end of august and september. I can't wait too!! But we have to be patient... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
OOO Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 There was an article in paste magazine a few months back that had a quote from Jeff saying that besides Los Angeles, he was really dissapointed with the audiences from the West Coast solo tour last year, and wasn't that thrilled about touring the west coast with Wilco because of it. If I remember correctly, he hinted that they might just do a few dates in Los Angeles and focus on other parts of the country that don't get Wilco nearly as often.

As I recall, the Vancouver, Eugene, Arcata, and SF audiences were pretty well behaved on that solo tour, but I understand how a couple of bad nights might colour the whole experience. (Also, it's probably not a good idea to tour the Pacific Northwest during the rainy season.) I have a feeling that he won't be able to resist the siren song of the SF Amoeba, City Lights, and Powell's for long. At least Glenn and Nels still love us. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pecan_Pie Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Waiting for a Red Rocks date.. I need some Wilco!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
evil horn Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 I'm hoping they'll be back at austin city limits after a year off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pnêyu Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Considering their booking agency is headquartered across the Golden Gate Bridge, I find it highly likely that they'll be back. Typically, the West Coast hosts the band around late summer/fall. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dreamin' Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Some of the most memorable Wilco shows I've seen have been at the Fillmore. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dreamin' Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 My first Fillmore show! I think that was the night I kept bumping my head on the monitor. Ouch, d'oh! And some of us suffered the indignity of pooping pigeons to get that close to the stage. Good times. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dreamin' Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 When I was practicing visualizations in my prenatal class to prepare for childbirth, the Fillmore was my "happy place." True story.

True story.Rock and roll moms are the best! Too bad we never got you to the Great American Music Hall or Bimbo's 365...they'd both make for some great visualizations.

unposed_question Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 There was an article in paste magazine a few months back that had a quote from Jeff saying that besides Los Angeles, he was really dissapointed with the audiences from the West Coast solo tour last year, and wasn't that thrilled about touring the west coast with Wilco because of it. If I remember correctly, he hinted that they might just do a few dates in Los Angeles and focus on other parts of the country that don't get Wilco nearly as often. Does someone have the actual quote? I'm rather skeptical myself, seeing as how the Tweeedy Solo Tour DVD is exclusively based on West Coast dates. I can't imagine the others not being thrilled to play the Bay Area. (Does anyone know the origins of "On Fillmore" by the way?) And as others have said, Wilco has been really great about spreading shows around the Bay Area. As much as I love the Fillmore, I live in the East Bay, so their willingness to play the Greek and the Paramount is very much appreciated by this fan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
