Madison on Sep. 11, Milwaukee on Oct. 9... sounds like it's going to be a good Wilco month for me. (And in between, 11 days of the Milwaukee International Film Festival!)

Last time i saw them there it was GA...its just a big open ballroom with a stage. There is an upper level that might have seats, but i didnt check it out last time.

The upper level does have a few seats, but nearly all of them are reserved. There's plenty of standing room up there, though.

 

Frankly, the Eagles Ballroom is not the greatest venue. Its best virtue is that it's, um, large.

You're being too kind to a place that doesn't deserve it. Horrible security, overpriced tickets, poor access to water and bathrooms, oppressive heat, no air circulation..., the place sucks. The last time Wilco played there, there had to be about 100 VCers there and a good half dozen were sick from the heat while being inside at an evening show when daytime temps had been normal. There's no excuse why we all felt like we'd stumbled into a Turkish bath.

 

I can't stress how shitty I think the place is but that's just my opinion. I'm fragile. I'm the Princess and the fucking Pea.

also, the way they herd people into the lower bar area, before letting them barge through the doors and trample one another running up those shitty stairs. its a horrible place to see a show.

I think I'll skip it then.... I'm seeing them 3 times in September and it'll be hard to justify a 90 minute ride home on a Tuesday night. Plus, I'm traveling like 4 times in the next 6 weeks on business -- so far.

an FYI about the Mpls show

 

Spoon play their first of 2 nights at First Ave this night as well, you could probably pull off the double header.

 

I'll be doing Wilco + Dr. Dog @ 400 Bar and then next night Spoon (early AA) + Sea Wolf @ Entry :)

wow, i cant believe they booked at the eagles ballroom after jeff played at the pabst theatre. i thought for sure wilco would play at pabst after he performed solo and Autumn Defense performed there. im happy to have them in my town but shit the Eagles....

I don't think the Pabst is large enough... but perhaps the Riverside?

"Five Venues under one roof. Eagles Ballroom has a capacity of around 4000, the Rave can hold 1500, The underground holds 500, and the Vibe and bar hold 400 each."

 

So, "The Rave" holds 1500, and "The Eagles Ballroom" holds 4000.

 

And, as an aside, I got my tickets this morning :D
