solace Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 more i think about it, that's so awesome for Justin... i've chatted w/ him about Wilco before and he's a really big fan, so he's gotta be pretty damn stoked for those gigs Quote Link to post Share on other sites

blue_94_trooper Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Any rumors as to who will be opening Wilmington (or Brooklyn)? The shows are still months away but all of the other non-festival shows now have openers listed. Any chance they'll do without? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Elixir Sue Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 I may have an extra ticket if that sways you at all. It's a long drive, and gas prices are a little prohibitive...but I'm still considering it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wilcoworld is showing that someone named Jennifer O'Connor will be opening at Wilmington and Brooklyn. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blue_94_trooper Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Wilcoworld is showing that someone named Jennifer O'Connor will be opening at Wilmington and Brooklyn. Thanks for the heads up. They must have posted that late yesterday or early today. Now to figure out who she is... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
watch me fall Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 It's a long drive, and gas prices are a little prohibitive...but I'm still considering it. Just keep considering, just keep considering.... Thanks for the heads up. They must have posted that late yesterday or early today. Now to figure out who she is... I saw her open for Tweedy a couple years ago in Raleigh. Pretty good from what I remember of her. I didn't rush out to buy any of her music, but I've seen alot worse. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

blindgonzo Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 I saw her open for Tweedy a couple years ago in Raleigh. Pretty good from what I remember of her. I didn't rush out to buy any of her music, but I've seen alot worse. My brother introduced me to Jenniffer's music, which I've really gotten into. I wish she was opening up for them in Spokane.Does anyone know anything about the "Fleet Foxes"? I've never heard of them... I just checked and they added a date in Idaho...maybe i can convince my friend to go to that one, and then to Spokane... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

willywoody Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 well looks like charleston got royally screwed again, at least from what i gather about bon iver on pitchfork.tv sorry, i know some here think they're the cat's meow but not me. schnoooooooooooze. and retribution gospel choir is out there kicking ass and likely blowing wilco off the friggin stage.

Wendy Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Man, I'm beginning to think the people of Charleston just canNOT be pleased! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Doug C Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 willywoody, an opener that you disapprove of amounts to you being 'royally screwed' by Wilco? Just a tad hyperbole and retro-anger, perhaps? I don't think anyone complained more than I did about the SNL deal but come on! And this is neither here nor there but after 3 nights of the Retribution Gospel Choir, I'll welcome Bon Iver with open arms. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lamradio Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Man, I'm beginning to think the people of Charleston just canNOT be pleased! That's why I moved... No really, I'm looking forward to Bon Iver... Just listen to his record a few times, you'll fall in love with it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Three dollars and 63 cents Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 and retribution gospel choir is out there kicking ass and likely blowing wilco off the friggin stage. By the third time I saw them, they were tolerable. In a different situation, I might've enjoyed them. I thought John Doe was a great opener and would've loved getting to see him for three more nights. As things stand now, Andrew Bird will be my next opener Quote Link to post Share on other sites
willywoody Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 i would have rather had an artist the caliber of john doe (legend) or retribution gospel choir (my flavor of the month/year) than bon iver from what i heard on the performance on pitchfork.tv. that is one reason why i'm miffed. another is that in the intervening 8 months , my work schedule has changed and the weekday date may coincide with when i'm out of town rather that the previously scheduled friday night date. it's still so far away that i can't even figure it out yet. hey, it's not that difficult to understand that a rescheduled date may not work out for a lot of people when it's moved from a weekend to a weekday. and if i'm in town that day and can go to the show i probably have to get up at 5:30 the next morning for work instead of being able to party it up and enjoy the show and peri-show gatherings with other wilco fans. so there's my beef with the changes. don't mean to rain on everyone's parade. so bon iver must be a hell of a lot better than what they sound like on that pitchfork.tv show from how everyone here is carrying on about them? any other online sources to get to know him/them better or is that a representative show?
