pillowy star Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Damnit! No Germany or Netherlands? Exactly my thoughts Crap, we'll have to make it Brussels then. Flights to the UK are completely out of reach for us at the moment Will you consider Brussels too, Marijn? Edit: It's a Tuesday, so chances of going might be really low. Gonna get tickets anyway though just in case. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Marijn Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 I might buy a ticket, just in case. But I'm afraid a midweek trip to Brussels is out of the question Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pillowy star Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Probably the same here , but I am gonna hope as long as possible Let's keep each other updated though! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
50footqueenie Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 I have to say I'm completely chuffed they've added Newcastle - I've just bought a pair of tickets - it's an easy trip for us in the south of Scotland. This means we'll have seen them SEVEN times this year once the last Dublin gig is done. I was really tempted by the Brussels gig also as we saw Calexico with Iron and Wine there last year - the Cirque is a great venue with a really good vibe, but midweek is no use to us either. Will this tour ever end? (HOPE NOT - but I've run out of money and holiday time!!!) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
samuel70 Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Will this tour ever end? (HOPE NOT - but I've run out of money and holiday time!!!) Good question indeed.Well, I checked on Wilcobase and here are the statistics for the Ghost Is Born and Sky Blue Sky tours so far : Ghost Is Born tour : May 19 2004 --> November 25 2006 = 30 monthsSky Blue Sky tour (so far) : April 16 2007 --> November 15 = 7 months Personnaly I'd vote for a shorter tour this time and a new album out next year.

ZenLunatic Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 I am hoping they will end there tour here in Chicago again like last year. Its very fitting to come for the holidays. Play some more nights at the Auditorium, I like that place. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jimmyketchup Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 I'm so looking forward to Wilco at Brixton. My favourite band in my favourite music venue. Bliss. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stan Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 They seem to like Spain ... Bounder: Anyway, about the holiday... Smoketoomuch: Well, yes, I've been on package tours many times, so your advert really bought my eye. Bounder: Ah good. Smoketoomuch: Yes, you're quite right, I'm fed up with being treated like a sheep, I mean what's the point of going abroad if you're just another tourist carted round in buses, surrounded by sweaty mindless oafs from Kettering and Boventry... Bounder: Absolutel.. Smoketoomuch: ...in their cloth caps and their cardigans and their transistor radios and their 'Sunday Mirrors', complaining about the tea, 'Oh they don't make it properly here do they not like at home' stopping at Majorcan bodegas, selling fish and chips and Watney's Red Barrel and calamares and two veg... Bounder: Yes. Smoketoomuch: ...and sitting in their cotton sun frocks squirting Timothy White's suncream all over their puffy raw swollen purulent flesh... Bounder: Yes.

tblair Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 I imagine the last 2 shows in Dublin could be rather good!Money and time restrictions means I'll have to make do with the one show in Brixton. Having already seeen them a couple of times at the Shepherd's Bush Empire this year (the second night was one of the best shows I've seen by anyone), I feel rather lucky.....
