Charleston-2/29- first Wilco show on 2/29?


Recommended Posts

So does anyone need an extra ticket? Due to unforseen circumstances, the person who was originally going with me is no longer, well, going with me. I have a couple of other people to ask but then I'm out of options after that. Thought I'd post here first and then if no takers, I'll post in the ticket forum.

 

 

where are the seats? i've got a friend who's miffed at me becasue i bought tix for a few others and didn't include him.

you know it! although i'm not up front like last time.

 

Were you on the very front row? Like Pit front row? That's where I am.. I know some places, the stage is high so front row isn't really a good thing.. How is the view from there? If you were indeed on the very front row..

no, not the very front row. it was like second row of the main seats, so about 5th row overall. kind of a treat to see the band up close like that nowadays .

 

it'll be a little low down there but your head will be above the stage level at least. that is if'n you're not a little person.

Thats good.. Just wasn't sure because I've never been to the PAC. (I know, pretty sad when I've lived in Charleston for four years). Thanks. :thumbup

Cool. Gotta love the details.

 

So my wife and I requested "She's A Jar" on that Request A Song form from the Wilcoworld main page. Maybe we'll get lucky and they'll play it.

I was ecstatic when they played Cali Stars in Charlotte last year.. One of my fav's, up there with She's a Jar.. She's a Jar Medley??? Never heard that! Is their a known recording of it anywhere? Sounds intriguing.. :)

I meant by the "medley" is the music :dancing I love the riffs, licks, sound :thumbup

the words are kinda sad, but the music... just like with Radio King, love the music!! Wish they would play that one too!

I'd go for "Rock Myself" or whatever it's called, it's a rockin' tune... That was kool hearing Cali Stars in Charlotte...

Can't wait for the end of the month to hurry up and arrive :worship

Ahh.. Got ya... I thought you were talking about a medley as in, combining multiple songs together. :thumbup

 

The great thing about seeing Wilco is that you really never know what they are going to play.. They have such a large catalog, and seeing them live, you can expect new stuff, old stuff, side project stuff.. It's an adventure.. :)

Yayyy. Not long now.. Starting to count down the days. I've been waiting since December, and REALLY looking forward to Bon Iver.. :dancing :dancing :dancing :dancing :dancing :dancing

 

I'm trying to score tickets to Charleston so that I'll be able to see the Jax show and drive up north to Charleston for two shows in two days!

Man, I just reread much of the old Charleston cancellation megathread. That was some good times.

 

You have too much time on your hands!

I'm not getting excited until I'm on I-26 on the way to Charleston!

 

Btw, too bad you moved from Charleston. Band of Horses is playing the Music Farm next Friday and my boy Josh Roberts is opening. :w00t

Yeah, I actually think it qualified as one of the great feuds in VC history (it went on for like two weeks straight). When I first found out about the cancellation, it felt like a smack in the face by a 2x4, but then I started to understand where Wilco was coming from, and I forgave them.. But still, they better make it up to us somehow at the show in August.
