wow, this is going to be amazing. i can't imagine going to all 5, but if it's reasonable, i'll be there. definitely 1 or 2 though.

 

and, i've bitched about wilco not playing chicago enough, and now look what i've gotten in return...

I couldn't have said it better myself. Except maybe adding a few :dancing :dancing :dancing for good measure.

 

That might be the most amazing five-night block of shows ever. I'm seeing them the next week--hopefully they'll still be carrying the energy from these shows, and there will be an awesome setlist.

even if i lived in Chi i don't know that i could do all 5 though... i usually tend to start to get tired of any band by the 3rd consecutive (even if there's a day or two in between) show of a run.

 

granted the unique setlists would help greatly in this case ;)

 

ok, so maybe i'd just do 15, 16, 19, 20 :lol

I could see doing all 5. If I had the time, plane fair, hotel, babysitter, vacation time, and extra cash for tix after the Holidays.

 

Looks to be a great week. I'm sure it'll be a treat for all in attendance.

6 studio albums - 5 nights? How does that work?

 

Taking Sunday night off really sucks if somebody was thinking of coming all the way from, say, Ottawa.

 

It looks from the web site like there's no WilcoWorld pre-sale for single tickets?

 

But wow!

I like how it says "Winter Residency 2008," does this mean it is an annual thing?

 

I take Residency as in doing shows for extended stay, not meaning yearly. Could very well be a trend though if they like it. The noticed Smashing Pumpkins doing residencies and thought it was a good idea. They may even do residencies in many diff areas if they like it.

So ... might we finally get a live DVD out of this? :pray

This is what I'm angling for :shifty

 

As much as a Friday/Saturday Chicago trip might be worth it I don't know if I'll be able to afford it in February, though it's a possibility. I certainly hope this means continued awesome setlists through when they do come to Iowa in March.

What Lammy said. The first show's on my kid's birthday, so I doubt if any of the shows are possible for me. Still, how cool!

since when has a multi-night run been called a 'residency'

 

the grateful dead never did a 'residency' , but many times rocked multiple nights at the same venue

 

my fav run: GD 9/8, 9/9, 9/10, 9/12, 9/13, 9/14, 9/16, 9/17, & 9/18/91 @ MSG

(of course this was followed by 6 in Boston 9/20, 9/21, 9/22, 9/24, 9/25, & 9/26/91)

 

either way... next stop southwest.com

Seriously. If you want. I can't stand the thought of you shuttling from Fort Wayne (which I KNOW you'd do!)
