via belleville Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 First time poster, long time listener. So, here's my story. My wife is literally 8.5 months pregnant -- and we have tickets to the show tomorrow night at the Palladium. Throughout her entire term, she's been insisting that she'll make it to the show. No kidding. She is going to have her C-Section next Wednesday, but she is geared up to go to the show on Friday. So, that said, would anyone around here have an idea when the guys might come on tomorrow night? No offense to Dr. Dog, who I'm sure are wonderful in their own right -- but my window with the Mrs. is tight. My feeling is that I've only got a good 90 minutes and I want to make it count. Thanks for your replies. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
memphismama Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 I just got back from the Southaven, MS show, and I am 4 months pregnant (not the same, I know). Dr. Dog started at 7:30, and Wilco came on about 8:45. They played until 11:00. I hope you can make as much of the show as possible, because Wilco is "on" right now, so full of energy. I was tired of standing by the end, but it was so worth it. Good luck. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zebra Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 In Chicago, Dr. Dog came on at 6:30 and ended at 7:00. Wilco came on almost 30 minutes exactly after Dr. Dog ended around 7:30. So, it looks like they hit the stage about one to one and a half hours after the show starts. Have fun. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gogo Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 A few months ago, I saw Arcade Fire with a woman who was a week overdue, and having contractions! She kept insisting that because the contractions weren't at regular intervals they didn't count, and I guess she was right, because she didn't have the baby until several days later. We were planning to sit on the lawn, close to an exit, anyway, but we still arrived at just about the time they took the stage, and left before the encore. Partly because we didn't want to get stuck in a ton of traffic leaving the show (just in case!), and partly because that was just all she could take, she was exhausted. Anyway, it is possible to pull it off. Good luck (and congratulations on the pending bundle of joy )! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
countryfeedback Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 If I recall correctly, do the doors open at 6:30 or 7:30? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
via belleville Posted September 14, 2007 Author Share Posted September 14, 2007 Thank you all so much for your replies and good words. The show is billed as 7:30, so I'm guessing we're going to show up around 8:30-8:45. I haven't been to this venue since it stopped being Gilley's. From what I can tell, they do have scattered seating and tables just in case the Mrs needs a break. Although, with us showing up late...who knows if we can get one? But, then again, who wants to sit at a Wilco show? (Except a woman who is giving birth in 5 days?) I'm all kindsa fired up for tonight. Beats being whipped by the ACL heat/crowd/etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lulu Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 I went to a few shows when I was quite pregnant with both of my boys. A good security guard will usually put you in a nice seat or in the disabled section so you don't have drunks and whatnot bumping into you- being pregnant has its advantages!!

House of Payne Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 I'll be there with my pregnant wife - 7.5 months. It'll be nice to be in good company with some other prego folks! See you at the show! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JayBennettIsAnnoying Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 I called the Paladium earlier this morning, and they said that the following should be the schedule: 7:30 Doors8:15: Dr. Dog9:15-9:30: Wilco Quote Link to post Share on other sites
via belleville Posted September 15, 2007 Author Share Posted September 15, 2007 Well, bless her heart, my preggo mamma made it all the way to Spiders. Didn't think we get that far, but she was a champ. Seems like I saw a couple other mommies to be, too. Kudos to you all. The guys put on a great show + we got a Wilco bib for the little guy on the way. "Just That Simple" = double bonus Quote Link to post Share on other sites
