does anyone know if wilco will be coming to chicago around thanksgiving per the usual or was that millenium park show it?

 

if they do come, i'd like to see them play somewhere a little smaller than the auditorium theatre, where i've seen them twice now.

This would be great because I would be back home in Chicago area from college. But my guess is it won't happen because it has not been posted. But I remember last year, it was the first or second week of October when last year's Thanksgiving shows were announced. So there is hope.

 

But the days of the Vic and other smaller size venues are most likely over because Wilco is very much more notable.

You are right, the tix for The Auditorium will even be hard to get judging from the Millienium Park concert. I got last years Thanksgiving tix pretty easily. Things have changed. I like the Auditorium, its nice.

 

I would take a solo Tweedy show right now over Wilco cause I just saw them in Sept.

i would definitely go for a solo tweedy show since i've never seen him. i guess i shouldn't say i don't want the auditorium theatre, because it's really nice, but i guess i would just want better tickets. i just can't imagine how amazing the shows at the vic must have been. it's so small yet amazing. maybe solo jeff at the vic soon would be perfect???

last year they played madison thanksgiving weekend at the barrymore, which is about the size of the vic.

plus, the barrymore has nice local brew beers for way less any concert venue i've been to in chicago.

i lucked out cause my parents live in madison so i was able to see wilco there while visiting for thankgiving. totally sweet venue. (last time they were in madison it was at a bigger space downtown.)

 

i also ended up getting tickets to a thanksgiving show at the auditorium last year. it's a nice place, but our seats weren't great, so i enjoyed the madison show much more.

 

if only they'd hit both towns again around thanksgiving this year!

kris and i were at the chicago theatre last weekend and saw wilco on a chicago theatre flyer. the problem was that we saw it from a distance, not close up, so i have no idea why they were on it.

 

also, is it bad to say i'd rather a solo show that weekend? i like to keep things low key.

Maybe something about the Conan show last year?

 

The only thing I see coming up at the Chicago Theatre is Bright Eyes (with Andrew Bird solo) and Neil Young.

Nothing to get excited about - that was just a big glossy pamphlet put out by "The Rave" in Milwaukee promoting their upcoming Rave and Eagles Ballroom shows this fall. Wilco is playing there Oct 9.

You can see Jeff solo on December 1 at the Auditorium, when he headlines the 50th anniversary of the Old Town School of Folk Music concert. Not the same as a solo show, but it's going to be a great night...

Got this yesterday.

 

"Wilco are playing their last show of 2007 tonight in Dublin. Thanks to all of you who came out and supported the band with such enthusiasm this year. We enjoyed almost every second of it."

 

Looks like no Thanksgiving Auditorium Shows this year. Maybe replaced by Millienum Park now.

 

There is Jeff playing Second City and Folk Festival for the people in Chicago.

Its safe to say this was already assumed but still not good news.

just found this forum! very cool. and looks active!

 

dont they play Thanksgiving shows in chicago every year? how many years have they been doing that?

Just last year. Actually, I think they played the Riviera a couple years.

 

Edit: Riviera 2001-2002, then nothing until 2006.
